Of the unprecedented phenomena with
reneated observations here before day
break this morning, the glowing tail
of Halley's comet appeared in the east
ern sky at time when the world
comet authorities had agreed it would
be in the west. Such eminent astron-
omers as Mitchell, of Columbia Univer-
sity, New York; Frost, head Of Yerkes
observatory staff; Barnard, of the uni
versity Of Chicago, witnessed the start

agree it was the comets tail.

No adequate explanation, however.
is forthcoming. Professors Mitchell.
Frost and Barnard say that any one Of
the following three explanations may
be right:
1. Curvature Of the comets tail,
first discovered and noted by Profess or
Barnard Tuesday night, may have de-
veloped to a wholly unexpected degree,
while the head Of the comet has passed
the earth on schedule.
2. Like Borellrs comet in 1903, Hal
iey's comet may have ceased it's tail
making activity, cutting off the glow
ing fan that is now puzzling scientists.
g. It is possible all the calculations
are wrong and the comet has not yet
passed the earth.

morning. It was still plainly visible
at a time when the astronomers were
confident the earth would have passed
completely thru the tail.
Fact, Not Theory.
After leaving his telescope at
daybreak, Professor Frost issued
the following statement:
Greater than all theories and
all computations are the facts, and
the fact is the tail of Halley's
comet mas .beeI.1 appearing i'll the

tion as it appeared yesterday
morning There's no question
about that. The tail which glow
