HALLHYs COMET.
Concluded from page one. }

nese annals do not mention this
comet, but they mention comets
in the years 1922 and 1924, nei-
ther of which, Mr., Hind thought,
closely resembled Halley's comet.
The comparison of all these old
observations is rendered more
difficult by the fact that other
conspicuous comets appeared
about the same time as Halley's.
That experience is in a way re-
peating itself, for during the
present year two notable comets
besides Halley's have appeared.
The brilliant calculations recent
ly made by Messrs, Cowell and
Crommelin, of Greenwich, have
shown that Mr.. Hind was wrong
about the particularly bright
comet of 1902, which was un-
questionably Halley's comet,
Moreover, Messrs. Cowell and
Crommelin have carried back the
history of Halley's comet to B. c.
240.
Every chronicler recorded a
wonderful comet in 1865, the
year of the Norman conquest of
England. The representation
of it in the BayeuX tapestry is
familiar. The Chinese annals
mention two comets in S37, and
if it be assumed that there really
were two comets that year and
that the copyists have not con-
fused two accounts of the same
comet, it is likely enough that
one of them was Halley's. In
451 a comet was observed about
the time of the battle in which
Attila was defeated by Aetius.
In the years 295 and 21S comets
are mentioned in the annals.
The latter was the comet that
was seen in Europe shortly be-
fore the death of the Emperor
Opilius Macrinus and was des-
cribed by Dion CasSius as a very
fearful star. Mr.. Hind suggest
ed that the so-called sword shap-
ed sign which was seen over
Jerusalem in A. D. 60, when
Titus began the war which ended
in the destruction of the city,
may have been Halley's comet.
In the year B. c. II there was
undoubtedly a remarkable comet
which, according to Dion Casslus,
seemed to be suspended above
Rome before the death of Agrip-
pa. AS the Chinese annals also
mention it, Mr.. Hind believed
that this too was Halley's comet.
Not all Mr.. Kinds 'ascription, !"
as art critics say, are reconcilable
with Messrs. Cowell and Crom-
melin's latest calculations, but
enough is established on all hands
to prove that Halley's comet has
been appearing ever since the
history of the skies has been
written. Spectator.
