THE COMET.
stellar Object Now Visible to the
Naked Eye In the Northeastern
Heavens.

Have you seen the comet? It Ii
now visible In the eastern sky be
tween Q and 10 o'clock. One should
face the northeast and look upward
more nearly north than east-and
look upward toward ! point about
half way between the horizon and the
zenith.
1t Is moving rapidly toward the
North star, and also westward. II
was discovered by Borelly Of Mar.
seilles on June 81, being then only a
telescopic object. Though II has been
increasing In brightness with quite
extraordinary rapidity, the glare OF
the full o has kept II from being
easily seen with the naked eye.
The nucleus Of the comet Is small
and bright, and is surrounded by an
extensive nebulosity, which can be
easily seer In a good opera glass.
This evening the comet should be
just beyond the summit Of the North
ern Cross.
To the unassisted eye the comet
will appear as a hazy patch Of light.
An acute eye should be able to de-
tect the tail, projecting away from
the sun. II Is predicted that 1t will
be the brightest comet in the last ten
years.

Las Vegas. Project to Secure Gov
eminent Naval Hospital Ii Las
Vegas.

A great many people In Las Vegas
will hear with lively interest that Ma
jor George Il. Bushnell, post surgeon
at Fort Logan, Colorado, has been
made chief surgeon at the govern
ment surgeon at the government san
atorium for consumptive soldiers at
Fort Bayard. DR.. Bushnell, 1t will be
remembered, Is the gentleman, who
made the very favorable reports con-
corning Las Vegas as a location for a
military post. Hs Friendship to Las
Vegas and his belief in our climatic
conditions may result in something
Of much importance to the city.
Here il the situation. There Is a
sanAtorium for soldiers at Fort Bay
ard, q sanatorlum for the merchant
marine at Fort Stanton. There is no
sanatorium for the navm department.
The experiment Of sending naval
patients to Fort Bayard has proven
unsuccessful chiefly because the
quarters are taxed to provide accom-
modations to the soldiers. The gov
eminent Is likely to establish a third
sanatorium In New Mexico. The con-
ditions at Fort Bayard and Fort
Stanton, the climatic phenomena are
almost identically the SAM with
those at Las Vegas. Already a move
ment has taken shape to induce the
government sanatorium. DR.. Bush
nell may be depended upon to favor
this city, not because OF any interest
he may have here, but because he
Ia convinced that the advantages for
such an Institution In this vicinity
are superior to those anywhere else
in the territory.
