HALLEYS COMET
HAS AN AFFINITY
Companion of Celestial Wanderer
Announced to Astronomers
by Switzerland Observer

BERKELEY. Feb. 24.-That Haley s
celebrated comet, which is travelling at
an incredible rate of speed toward the
earth has an affinity in its dash through
space was the news telegraphed TO the
university department of astronomy
from Geneva. Switzerland, by the way
of the Cambridge university. on ac-
count Of the fact that J. Pidoux, the
discoverer of the new comet, has only
small instruments, the inference has
been drawn by Prof. A. o. Leuschner,
head Of the department of astronomy
of the university, that the comet is
a very bright object in the heavens
and viii, like its companion, grow larg-
er as it approaches the earth. The
new wanderer was picked up February
20 in the bright moonlight and the
university astronomers are now en-
gagged in fguring its orbit.
The official announcement made by
Professor Leuschner of the discovery
Of the comet follows:
The position of the comet for Feb
ruary 20. 2SI5 Gr NJ T, was: Right
ascension hr. sc min. - sec. declina-
tion north deg. so min. IL sec. Its
daily motion is min. p sec. west and
- min. south.
AT the time Of discovery the comet
was, therefore, about SO deg. east and
l9 deg. north Of the sun.
The dispatch contains no informa-
tion regarding the brightness, but as
the Geneva observatory is not equipped
with large instruments, and as the
comet was picked up in bright moon
light it ought 10 be q fairly bright OBJ
Ject.
The apparent motion is directed to-
ward the sun and the comet may, there
fore, be expected to grow brighter.
NO definite conclusions can be
drawn, however, until the orbit has
been calculated A very remarkable
fact ia connection with the discovery
Of this comet is the proximity of its
Eeocentric position TO that of Halley's
comet At the date given above the
position of Halleys comet was right
ascension 0 hr. A min. q sec, declina-
tion north deg 50 min.
"PidouX's comet was. therefore, about
] deg. II min. east and about min.
south Of Halleys comet. but the daily
motion Of Pidoux's comet differs consid-
erably from that of Halley's comet. The
motion Of Halley's comet is almost en-
tireIy in a westerly direction at the
rate of 55 sec. 1t is not unlikely that
Pidoux was preparing TO observe Hal
leys cQmet and thus found another
comet close to it.
Cases where a new comet was dis
covered in close proximity to a known
comet have been recorded before. Their
proximity has sometimes led to con-
fusion in the observations"

DESPoNDENT CLOVIS
MAN HANGS HIMSELF

Clovis, N. NJ, Feb. 2S.-About $50
this evening the body Of a man named
Hatch was found hanging 10 a rafter
in the old cement plant in east Clovis.
The man had apparently bee dead
about three hours The suicide used
a half inch rope and mis- feet ERE
barely touching the floor. He had laid
an old door slanting against the wall
from which he evidently jumped to
his doom. The neck was not broken
and death was caused by strangula-
ton according to the ~coroner's jury
which viewed the remains. Undertak-
er Heberer cut DOWN the body and it
is being held at his place pending
full inquest tomorrow morning.
Dependency and i'll health are be-
lieyed to have been the cause of tae
deed. Hatch VINO recently los his
wife and child came here from the
town of st. Vrain. One child lives
with her grandmother here. The de-
ceased worked on a dairy but made
a small living. He was a cousin of
Mr.. Hicks, owner of the cement plant,
and has relatives in Indiana where the
remains will probably be sent.

FIREMAN MILLER HAS
CHANCE OF RECOVERY.

Frank r. Miller, the young fireman
who had both legs cut of FIVE inches
above the ankle by accidentally fall
ing between his engine and the train
at South Spring station at noon Mon
day now has good chances of recov-
cry, since he has survived the first
twenty-four hour succeeding he ac-
cident. In most cases of this kind
the shock kills a man within the
first "a hours. Miller kept up his
nerve remarkably well and this Is de-
eidedly in his favor. Tne surgeons
amputated the injured legs at ST.
Mary's hospital soon after the injured
man was brought there Monday after
noon. One leg was taken OF just be-
low the knee on account OF bad frac-
lures and the other five inches lower.
Miller was doing nicely yesterday.
