praised the results obtained by the

HaiIey's Comet.

1t will be the most superb sight
that our generation has seen in the
heavens.
First seen by DR.. Max Wolf at
Heidelberg on September II, it will
become visible to the unaided
eye, and by January or
February will be splendid object.
The comet is named from the Eng
fish astronomer Haley, who died in
1742, after a long life of acute scien-
tific observations. He was first to
foretell the return of a comet, and
this comet is the one whose return,
in 1859, he confdentially predicted;
and it did return. 1t comes every
IS years.
Halley's comet, therefore, taught
the world that comets are subject to
the law of gravitatjon, and are not
the wild wanderers they had been
imagined.
This comet has a recorded history
of about 1000 years.
1t was the fiery sword hanging
over Rome that portended the death
of Agrippa.
1t famed, a terrible omen, above
Jerusalem in A. D 65, just before
Titus destroyed the Holy City.
In 1866 it was William, the Con-
queror's orifamme.
In 1856 it filled Europe with ter
ror of the Turk, who had just seized
Constantinople; and the Pope order
ed prayers for safety from "the
Turk and the comet"
1t was last seen in 1885. when it
was visible for nine and
a half months, and attained a length
of third the space from horizon
to zenith
Since then it has been out in space
3,400, 900, 900 miles from the sun. 1t
is now about 500, 900, 900 miles away
and will come within 1850, 900 miles
of us. Just now it is in the constel-
lation Orion, near Gemini; only, you
need fine telescope to see it.
But wait a while.
