HALEY COMET
IN MARCH
Celestial Visitors is Causing
Much Comment

In all parts of the civilized worl(
much is being said about the appear
ance next month of Haley's comet
All kinds of dire calamities have
been predicted and the people in al
parts OF the earth are anXiously
awaiting the coming of the visitor
which was last seen on November
15. 1885. This comet has appeared
to the people of this sphere at least
20 times, the first record of it being
in the year ii b. c.
To the coming of this comet has
been blamed several of the greatest
calamities in the history of the world
In April, 1866 it caused a fanatically
superstitiOus wave that swept over
entire Europe.
The following data regarding the
celestial visitor is taken from the
Scientific American of a recent date,
and will be of interest to those who
have been reading about it's coming:
During February it will enter the
orbit of the earth, reaching within
the orbit of Venus at the beginning
of March.
The earth is at the present time
travelling away from the path of the
comet and on March oath will be on
the opposite side of the sun, When
for few days the celestial visitor
will be invisible. The comet will.
however, swing around the sun at an
exceedingly rapid rate and will soon
thereafter appear in the morning sky
as a most brilliant spectacle.
During the latter part of April, and
the early part of May the earth AMI
the comet will travei toward each
other at a rapid pace and on May IS
the comet will pass between the
earth and the sun. at which time they
will only be 100000 miles apart
and the earth will pass through the
tail, although it is doubtful
If our senses or the most sensitive
instrument upon the earth will be
able to record the fact.
For a number of days after May IS
the comet will be a most brilliant
spectacle in the evening sky, and
may even be visible in the daylight
1t will rapidly grow more faint and
will soon leave the limit of earthly
vision for another peregrinaton to a
distance so great that We cannot con-
ceive bounds.
