NEW COMET has TWO TAILS.
Pref. Campbell OF Lick Observatory DE.
scrtbeS II.

SAN jose, Cal, July 49, Prof. W. W,
Campbell of Lick Observatory says:
4The comet discovered by Morelly at
Marseilles three weeks ago has been
under observation by various members
OF the Lick Observatory staff. 1t promises
TO be an unusually interesting object. It's
brightness has increased rapidly until it
is now easily visible as a fourth magnitude
star. On Monday evening observers
should experience no difficulty in detecting
it above one or two degrees southwest
cf the bright star Alpha Cygni. Its motion
la carrying it southwestward about five
degrees daily. The orbit of the comet
has been computed by Prof. Perrine. 1t is
row In parsbola in such a way that its near
est approach to the sun will occur on Aug.
q, at distance Of about 100000 miles.
sits present distance from the Sun is about
100, OOO, 600 miles and from the earth about
20, OOO, 900 miles To the unassisted eye the
comet will appear as hazy patch of light.
An acute eye should be able to detect a
short tail projecting away from the sun.
Our photos have recorded two prominent
tails, each several degrees in length. While
it is always unsafe TO make predictions as
to how bright comet will grow, yet there
is little doubt that this one will be fairly
a conspicuous object in the evening sky.
In fact, expect 1t to be the brightest comet
Of the past ten years.

FINED IN NEWPORT.

Has Mr.. Ford UP I'm Court for Going
Too Fast ON Country Road-Ffne $40.
NEWPORT, r. T., July l3--At the instance
OF Alfred G. Vanderbilt, p. Ford was arrested
to-day and fined for driving his automobile
too fast In the town OF Middletown on Satur-
day evening. This action was taken by
Mr.. Vanderbilt because he was nearly
run down by the machine and he feels that
so much blame has been laid at his door
for automobile speeding that it is about
time he took a hand to stop 1t.
On Saturday night Mr.. Vanderbilt with
Mr.. Cochrane, guest. were returning
from Newport to Oakland Farm In a car
riage. The night was dark and it was
hard work to pick ones way. On making
a sharp turn an automobile was seen COM
ing in the opposite direction. 1t had only
one light burning and the driver was on
the wrong side Of the road. So close was
1t upon Mr.. Vanderbilt's team that the
driver had barely time to turn out sharply
to avoid q collision. Both the team and
the auto stopped. and Mr.. Vanderbilt
demonstrated with Mr.. Ford for his fast
driving.
Mr. Vanderbilt then made complaint to
Town Sergeant Blair OF Middletown and
warrant was sworn out and served on Mr..
Ford to-day. He was brought before
the police court, where, after some hest
tation. he pleaded guilty and was fined
$50 and costs. Mr.. Vanderbilt said that
Mr.. Ford was driving at the rate Of twenty
miles an hour.
Mr.. Vanderbilt was represented in court
by his secretary. Mr.. Alexander, who has
Just been admitted to the Rhode Island
bar. Mr.. Alexander said that it was only
short time ago that Mrs. Vanderbilt had
a similar experience. He also said that
both Mr. Vanderbilt and his brother, Regi-
maid c. Vanderbilt. were tired Of being
made marks OF by the officials. Every
time an automobile exceeds the speed limit
out on the island it is attributed to them.
and Mr.. Vanderbilt has decided to take
steps to stop IL and show that it 10 not he
that Is to blame.
In order that he may not be accused
of fast driving at night, Mr.. Vanderbilt
no longer uses his automobile after dark,
and during the day has made it practices
to drive no faster than five miles an hour
through the towns on the island. although
the law allows ten miles an hour
