covery: then September and october
and still no comet---~--
l People began to believe that HALEY
had been deceived and that the prev
ious succession Of comets had been but
another evidence of the freakish be-
havior of these queer celestial bodies.
Early in November, clairaut, q
young mathematician, published a
explanation OF the trouble. He show
ed that the non-appearance was due
To no fault of the comet. The course
of the comet lay quite near the planet
Saturn and also the planet Jupiter
both OF which had retarded 1t consid-
crably, so that II was many months
Behind schedule.
Six Months Work Gives Formula.
Working with Clairaut were two
persons one OF them woman. who
undertook the stupendous mathematic-
al task of figuring out Clairauts COM
pick formulate. For six months they
laborcd ceaselessiy and Immediately
following Clairaut's announcement
they fixed upon the middle of April.
1859, as the time when the
comet would make its nearest APP
proach TO the sun.
But when giving out this date they
stated that. being pressed for time
certain small values had been ignored
in their calculations. and that these
omissions might make a difference OF
a month one way or the other In the
actual result.
on Christmas day, 1858, an amateur
astronomer i'm Germany observed n
slight hazy patch In the sky. which
turned out TO be the long delayed COM
ct. Needless to say. its discovery was
hailed as one of the greatest events IN
the history Of astronomy
Comes. Twice on Time.
A careful watch now was kept on 1T
to find just when II would make It's
closest approach to the sun. True to
the predictions. March IL. 1859. with
in a month of the appointed time the
sun was rounded and the comet start
ed on its journey to the remotest con-
fines of our solar system.
The next return of of Hallfy's comet
was set for Novemer 16, 1885, and
sure enough. within three days of the
appointed time it paid its compliment
to the sun and hurried off again 20
the dark and frigid outposts where the
lonely planet Neptune treads its soli-
tary beat.
From that time until the present It's
whereabouts have been a matter IF
more or less accurate conjecture on
the part of the astronomers who Were
guided by Clairauts formulate.

Every "a Years.

Halls s@-essrvy traditional since $50
years before the Christian era as the
forerunner of evil times for the lower
classes, has been sighted again aftcs
seventy -four years absence from the
immediate ken OF astronomers. The
comet viii not be Visible To the naked
eye until next April or May. The lay
man who wishes to observe the phe-
nomenon before that time will have
to go to Yerkes or Lick observatory i'm
America or to those of Heidelberg,

VINO get up at sunrise ought to be able
10 see it in all its glory.
The discovery of the comet at this
time records another beat of that ce-
lestial pendulum which swings once
every seventy-four years.
Halley's comet was last seen i'm 1875
IL was. perhaps, first seen by any as
tronomer competent to record il 2.25O
years ago, or 25O years before tho
christian era. That is the farthest
date to which the patient labors of the
astronomers have carried it back. and
1t was then seen and noted by the
chinese astronomers. who saw IL again
in the August of b. G. 81. h
Schedule Discovered in 1852.
Halley's comet is of interest as be-
ing the first TO be recognized as per-
iodic visitor TO the neighborhood OF
the sun. Newtons friend HALEY
while studying the great comet of 1882
was struck by it's resemblance i'm every
respect to that OF 1907. and also TO thu
one in 1881. He came to the conclu-
sion that there were three visitations
OF the same comet. This belief was
strengthened by "A study of comet rec
ords. which revealed the fact that from
as early as 1866 4. ID. every seventy
five years or whereabouts a great comet
mad been reported This led HALEY to
predict that the comet would appear
again early in the fall OF 1868.
