known member of the astronomical force

yesterday afternoon. "Halley's comet
comes only once 10 lifetime, aud many
persons are born, live aud die without
catching o glimpse OF its nsrvelcus dash
of Ere across the skies. 1t Was last seen
10 1885, and few persons now alive can
say they have witnessed 1t.
The comet In Its full refnIgence is not
due until 1910, but by spring II will
probably be near enough to be visible
by the naked eye. In the past 1t has span
ned the heavens almost from hor'z)u TO
horizon, covering as much as 100 OF
celestial ttrrltory.
There will be no trouble seeing 1t With
the naked eye. 1t will. illuminate the
heavens.
II will make a tremendous splash OF
fire. Alter 1t once comes and goes 1t
will shoot away from earth, going as far
as Neptune, the most distant OF the
planets, passing sll of the other planet',
