compounded that force with the force
OF the suns attraction, and the result
IS the beautiful curve Of an ellipse.
Now. it is because of faithfully fol-
lowing the elliptical path that the COM
ct will not drop into the suns fiery
depths and go up in puff Of gas. In
stead it swings around that body at a
safe distance Of 54,6O9,6OO miles at the
nearest and then proceeds to withdraw
into space on the opposite side of the
rellipse. It is there that it is going to
meet the earth; there that it will pass
us, the two bodies going in opposite
directions: there that 1t will come the
nearest; there that 1t will appear the
largest; there that 1t will shine the
brightest there that its head will
transit the face of the sun: there that
the earth will plunge headlong through
Its tail. We are therefore coming to
the most important days of this come

significant phenomenon. But the head
of the comet will transit the face of
the sun on the 18th Of May.
Where the Transit May Be Seen.
This is made possible by remark
able combination of circumstances. For
four months the comet has been north
Of the sun. On the very day that 1t
passes 1t in going back from the morn
ing to the evening sky 1t also passes
south Of the sun. This brings 1t d.
rectly across the suns face. Professor

Professor Pickering names p. m.
eastern time. as the hour. Popular
Astronomy" says that 11:19 p. M, east
ern time. is the exact middle of the
transit. but that it lasts in its en-
tirety from 1850 p. m. to HAS p. m.
The center Of the comets head will
pass about four or five minutes Of arc
above the center Of the suns disk. the
diameter of the entire disk being thirty
minutes.
Now. 1t is manifest that. vastly i'm
portant as this event Is. 1t will be en-
tirely invisible to large part Of hui
mainly by reason Of the suns being
below the horizon at the hour named.
France. England. Germany. Italy,
Spain and all the eastern part Of the
United States will then be in the
shadow of night. Only ON our western
borders is there hope that the transit
may be witnessed. and in the Hawai-
ian Islands there is a much closer ap-
proach to certainty. Professor Barnard
has estimated that the size Of the CON-
cts head as seen from the earth will
be more than sufficient to cover the

almost as eagerly rushing toward the
miles a minute. And though the two.
on the 10th Of April, were still $4,000
600 miles apart. the combined move
ment Of earth and comet has been
steadily filling up the great gap Mt the
rate of forty-three miles per second,
and the great events that are to fol-
low the middle of May are consequent
ly at hand.
That there will be no collision is as
evident as that an elevated train may

crossed the earth's path early in March
for 1t is even now within our orbit
1t was 100000 miles above us. and
when 1t will pass out beyond the same.
May 20, 1t will be 100000 miles below

mates that on the 18th Of May we
shall be 14.30O,OOO miles distant from
the comet. From these figures mil

of the comet will be greatest on the

was when discovered by Professor
Wolf.
