defining the relations between the
county assessors and the state board
is pretty loose and an opinion from

Is Visible Here.

ITO the Republican-Daniels comet,
which was observed at the observatory
Of Princeton university on June 9, has
now become sufficiently CONSPICUOUS to
attract notice. When discovered, 1t
was invisible to the naked eye, but 1t
has been Frightening rapidly, and has
for some weeks been visible to the
unaided eye. At the present time the
head looks like a star, but a little larg-
er and brighter than the average star.
1t is quite easily distinguished from
the adjacent stars by its straight spine
like tail, which run up toward the
right from the head. 1t appears to be
between five and ten degrees in length.
The best time to see it is between 3
and $3.50 a. M, when it is in the east,
over one-third the way up from the
horizon to the zenith. 1t is very beau
tiful in an opera glass Oh field glass.
unless the glare of the city arc lights
interiors with the observer. A good
field glass shows that the tail is quite
broad, and that the head is much larg-
er than it appears to the naked eye.
Photography has shown that the tail
consists of several branches.
Moving Toward Sun.
"As the moon is not now a disturb
ing factor in the morning sky, the best
chance to see the comet before 1t
makes its perihelion passage will be
this week and next. 1t is o moving
toward the sun and will make its
closest approach to that luminary on
September 4, when 1t will be 4S, 00O, 900
miles away. Its distance from the
earth at that time will be much
greater than this, because it is now
moving away from the earth. Never
theless, the comet will gradually get
brighter till its glory is lessened by
the flooding of the morning sky with
moonlight in the latter part of this
month.
Location Of Comet.
"On the morning OF August 10 1t
was about 10 degrees north Of the
bright star Betelgeuse in the right
shoulder Of Orion. 1t may therefore
be found by imagining a line on the
sky from B~etelgeuse northward to-
ward the pole star. Those who are
familiar with pictures Of the constel-
lations will find 1t in the uplifted club
of Orion, with which he is about to
smite Taurus the Bull. The comet is
moving rapidly eastward. 80 that its
change Of position from morning to
morning is readily discerned. On the
morning Of August IA it will be quite
close to the star Gamma Geminorum.
1t consumes ten days in crossing the
southern end Of the constellation Of
Gemini (The Twins) and emerges into
Cancer on August "a, its path being
nearly parallel to the celestial equator.
