The New Com ct.

Tonight, if it be clear, it is expected
that The new comet discovered on June
%. in Marseilles, and named for its dis
coyerer. .Borelly, will be visible in Alex
andria. without the aid of a telescope.
The comet may be found, according to
the astronomers, about six degrees south
west of the bright star Alpha Cygni, the
brightest and most northern member of
the constellation Cygnus. The constella-
ton. which is popularity known as the
Swan. lies not far to the east of Vega,
also star of the first magnitude, and
about twice as far almost directly south
of the more familiar Pole Star. 1t is
said to be very bright comet, and it Is
expected that tonight twill be seen from
the earth. It's brilliancy is increasing
very rapidly, and, according to the cal
culation of Prof. w. w. Campbell, Of
the Lick Observatory, is already as
Bright rs a fourth magnitude star. 1t is
well within the solar system, its present
distance from the sun not exceeding the
earth's distance from that orb, and 1t Is
only about 20, 600, 600 miles away from
the earth. As rule, comets travel at
the rate of about 1000 miles a second.
Midnight will be the best time to OBJ
serve the comet.
