occurred in 1896. 1900 and 1903 but to Haeys
comet the Il similar occasion in all its
glory is simply Irresistible.
According TO the ephemeris of Mr.. A. D. c. Crom-
men and Mr.. d. Smart the comet must be looked
for In the constellation Taurus during the month
of November, this constellation being near the well
known group of stars Orion. On November 20 it
will pass very close TO the bright Aldebaran,
the leading brilliant in the constellation Taurus
During January the comet will pass through the
constellation Aries and Pisces and on March 2l will
pass near Agenib in the constellation Pegasus After
about April it will be matter of uncertainty
how long II will be possible to see the comet as it
approaches the neighborhood of the sun 1t will
certainly cease to be visible much longer in the
evening, but will reappear in the morning early IN
May, still in the northern hemisphere, and sti in
Pisces where it will be till about May II. After
that the comet will pass into the southern hemisphereI
and remain there until 1t disappears altogether,
which may be in June July.
The comet win be nearest to the earth-that Is
about twelve million miles, and therefore its maxi
mum brilancy-about May Is, but the moonlight
will to some extent spoil she view of the comet, so
that all things considered' the best view will be on
May 81 After leaving the constellation Pisces about
May H. the comets path will be through Aries, Tau
rus, Gemini the head of Orion CAMS Minor Hydra,
SeXtans the feet of Leo and Virgo, where it will
probably be last seen, but the long days and short
nights anu lllc luIl moon on May -, with no true
night at all during many weeks will seriously inter-
fere with cOmetary observations.
After the comet has whirled around the sun. hay
ing attained by that time its maximum speed of 1873
miles II minute, 1t will begin its journey TO
the regions beyond the outermost planet Neptune not
returning for another seventy-lOur seventy-ive
years. On its way 1t will pass number of
bright stars, which will be visible observers living
Iii the Southern Hemisphere, the Cape in Australia
or IN New Zealand, and can be by them for
long time The bright stars along the pathway shin
ing like beacon lights marking the celestial mllestones
or the comets track will be Aldebaran, in Taurus;
Betegeuze, in Orion; Gamma Geminorum and Pro-
cyon, in the constellation of Cnnis Minor.
