HALLEYS COMET, NOT VISIBLE FOR Is
YEARS. WILL BE SEEN NEXT WINTER

among many of the races inhabiting
the earth at that time. Its next re-
corded visible appearance was in 339
a. D., and after that it appeared in
the years $50. 6S4, $50. 1866, 1890,
1901. 1873. 1856, 1881 and 1907.
when Haley took possession of it and
began to watch its movements. At
that time he predicted its return in
] 1874 and in that year it appeared in
all of its splendor. 1t was last seen
in the year S35, and since that time
many of the astronomers have com
puted the time when it should return
They have all decided that it will
again illuminate the earth the latter
part of this year and many of them
are making special preparations to
observe it.
When Last Seen.
The last bright comet which came
into mans range of vision in the
heavens was in 1882. During that
year one appeared and caused much
study and observation among the
star gazers. Halley's comet, how

er and to move across the sky much
slower, thus giving everybody a good
chance to see it. Many calculations
are now being made as to when the
comet will appear in the United
States. If it appears during the
night this country will be Illuminated
every night during its stay in the
heavens. If it appears in the day
time it will be visible and noticeable
but will not present such beautiful
appearance in the heavens.
Mars is Approaching.
Another change in the heavens to
take place this fall is the appearance
of the planet Mars at distance of
only 330,000,000 miles from the
earth. This is considerably closer

Within few months, according to
d man who makes the study of as
tronomy side line. and who keeps
posted on current literature in that
line. the people of the world are go
ing to be allowed to see something in
| the nature of a comet in the heavens
that has not been seen by man for
! the past Is years. OF course there
| are many comets in the heavens, but
most of them are so small as to be in
visible to the naked eye and present
only a small image when observed
through one of the mighty telescopes
at our astronomical observatOries.
The particular comet which will be
seen in this part of the world this
fall is known as the HALEY comet. 1t
is the most famous of this sort of
heavenly bodies known in history 1t
will be first sighted by the telescopes
some time within the next two
months and will be visible to the
naked eye during the first part of
next year. 1t is one of the brightest
comets known to man and upon sew
eral previous appearances has caused
panic among the heather people of
the globe. When it appears visible to
the naked eye it will have the APP
pearance of great ball of fire and
will have flying after it in its rapid,
trip through the heavens a long tail
of light caused from the numerous
rare gases which are repealed by the
sun and driven off the body of the
comet 1t will remain visible during
the entire next spring, and as it is
probably the only chance in life
time to see such body in the sky
much interest will no doubt be taken
in it.
