HALLEY's COMET DUE.
This Is the Most Famous OF All the
Celestial Visitors of This Glass, and
Its Appearance is Awaited With
Greatest Interest.

Greatest Interest.
The various astronomical telescopes
of the world are now trained for the
first sight of Halley's comet, whose
temperance Is nearly due. This is
the most famous of all the. celestial
visitors of this class. and its appear
ance is awaited with the greatest in
terest. 1t was first noticed nearly
two thousand years ago, eleven years
before the birth at Bethlehem q
at night and filled a wondering and
credulous world with fear of evil to
come.
Since then the comet has been seen
at intervals Of about every seventy
five years, it's last appearance being In
the year 1895. 1t is now due again
and all over the world astronomers
are making ready for close and con-
tinuous observations, not with the su-
perstitious fear Of old, but with high
hopes OF adding to the sum of as
Economical knowledge.
Edmund HALEY. famous English
astronomer. was first to advance the
theory that the comet observed by
him in 1882 was the same one to
which historical reference was to be
found from time to time since before
the birth Of Christ. He noticed a sim
ilarity in the orbits Of the comet
which he observed and .those of the
comets appearing in 1907 and 1881
Investigation led him to the belief
that the orbits were identical and that
the same comet was paying fiyins
visits at regular intervals to the sun
and should return again after an IN
terval Of seventy-six years.
The comet is now said to be ap-
preaching the earth from the other
side Of the sun. and any day 1t may
be announced that some one of the
hundred mammoth telescopes already
pointed to the designated spot in the
heavens has located the wanderer on
Its return from its seventy-five year
Journey through space. A few months
later 1t will become visible to the max
ed eye and the amateur astronomer.

southeast in the constellation of
Orion. see the flaming head of the
comet. and behind 1t, trailing past
stars removed from each other by
many millions Of miles. the curved.

The closest approach of Halley's
comet to the earth is given at 49,
100000 miles. The distance travelled
since its last appearance is estimated
at something over four thousand mill
lion miles; the time consumed in the
latest Journey. seventy-four years, one
hundred and sixty days.
