YALE OBSERVES THE COMET
DIR. Fred l.. Chase Is Establishing
Nearly the Exact Orbit of His
Latest Discovery.

DR.. Fred L. Chase, assistant astron-
omer at the Yale observatory, who dis
covered the recent comet, has just made
several additional discoveries relative
to the comet.
Numerous observations have been
taken at the Yale observatory with the
eight-inch equatorial on the nights of
December 13, IA and 10, which were
unusually clear and an orbit nearly cor
rect is now established. The comet
passes perihelion on about the middle
of September at a distance of over
100000, 900 miles from the sun. Its or
bit is sensibly parabol, and the comet
is now gradually receding from the SUM-.
though the earth is moving toward
the comet, so that its brightness is
still increasing.
They are now about 10000, 900 miles
apart. After few weeks the earth
will draw farther away from the comet
and it will rapidly lose brilliancy. The
comet ought, however, to he visible with
larger telescopes for two or three
months at least. -

MARIETTA DAILY LEADER
WEoNEspAY, JANuARY 4, leee.
The Champion of the World.

Never until yesterday did a cham
pion prize-fighter in the zenith of his
glory, and the live laurels still rest
ing about his features, visit Marietta.
But yesterday that same thing happen
ed We had the worlds champion
heavyweight 'pugllist, Robert Fitz-
simmons with us last night.
His Lankiness was surrounded by a
company of people possessing merit
more or less-considerably the latter,
at the head of them was Edward Har-
rigan, erstwhile famous comedian, of
New York, but not in the possession
now of the snap and ginger that an
audience of to-day requires for its
amusement.
Irshmen, Germans and negroes in the
most intense degrees OF carieature
swarmed pell-mell, on and off, hither
and yon, higlety-piglety, making a
mazy scene and a mighty noise that
will long remain with us. The play
Is really too funny to be funny.
But Fitz, he of the wabbly legs and
the mighty biceps, he was the real
thing. While we did not fully assim-
ilate the fine points of the sparing, we
did thoroughly enjoy the diamond
belted heroes onslaught on the punch
ing bag, It was skillful and artistic
demonstration Of the beauties and
possibilities that enliven the simple
punching bag. Bob punished 1t badly
and with final biff, he solar plexis-
ed the thing far into the audience.
The house was good one,- and we
think must have pleased Manager
Seipel as we'll as the show people.

It is hardly necessary to say that the

On reaching home the delighted
maiden remarked to her mother:

ours is a great thing, developing more
and more every year, and each new
