CERTAIN TO REACH EARTH.
Comets Tail This Morning Ninety
Degrees Long and Very Wide.

TAUNTON. Mass. May 1.-The tail
of Halley's comet now extends con-
siderably beyond the earth's orbit and
the earth will certainly pass through
the luminous train Of the sky wander
er tomorrow night. This is the conclu-
sion Of the Rev. Joel Haskins MetcaIf,
a well known astronomer of this city,
whose observations have been accepted
by the officials Of the Harvard OBJ
servatory.
AIR. Metcalf observed Halley's comet
this morning under ideal conditions.
The sky was clear and the air was
free from haze. The observation show
ed that the tail of the comet is now
ninety degrees in length. or equal to
the distance from the horizon to the
zenith. The tail lay nearly parallel TO
the horizon. 1t was from eight to ten
degrees behind, which means an actual
width of about 100000 miles. Mr.. Met
calf also reported that the tail was
apparently straight and in process OF
broadening. and has not yet reached it's
maximum width. The northern and
western heads Of the tail touched Gam
ma Pegasi and extended to II Aquila,
possibly to Theta Auila.

ing Visit of the Great Comet
of 1882.


DETROIT Mich. May 1.-THE United
States photographic office has warned
wireless operators and vessel masters
along the lakes that wireless instruments
and compasses may be affected by the
atmospheric conditions caused by Halleys
comet.
Both operators and captains are request
ed to keep careful logs between the 18th

netic. vibrations. The sighting of meteor
ties. 1t is said, should be promptly re-
ported in detail
In the spring OF 1882. preceding the
appearance of the great comet of that
year. there was a brilliant display of the
aurora borealis. or northern lights, lasting
several days and nights During this
time telegraph wires all over the world
were operated without artificial batteries,
the electric current gathered from the
air being OF great power. in some in
stances in the United States burning up
the instruments. But the flow OF cleo
tr:city was intermittent and this fact
proved seevre handicap to the telegraph
operators.
1t is considered not improbable that
something of this ind may happen to the
land wires tomorrow night when the eartl.
passes through the comets tail.

The class of 1908 was graduated with
195 members, one of the. largest classes

years at sea. and were given their final
exam.na ions March IL The examina-
tons were conducted on the various sta
tons and ships throughout the world
simultaneously, and owing to a delay in
communication some of the papers Of the

The papers were forwarded TO the Naval
Academy for final marking by the aca-
demic board. According to an estimate
based on information from the Naval

of the class will obtain commissions as

Can't See Transit Here.

Washington will be cut off from that
part of the show, as the comet will not
move across the face Of the sun till about
II: 20 o'clock pm. Washington time, and
then the sun is not visible here.
There is a question whether the transit
will yield any appreciable results. any
how as the head even of the comet is
generally supposed to be thin that the
suns rays are expected to shine through
it without much interference, and the
effect will be much as though the comet
were not there.
