HOUGHT0N SEES The COMET;
DOUBLE SPECTACLE TONIGHT
Total Eclipse Of the Moon Will
Make a Far Better Show in
Heavens This Eve
WHERE AND WHEN TO LOOK

Almost everyone who was out-of-
doors in Houghton last night saw Hal
Iey's comet the much advertised sky
wanderer. and nearly every person who
beheld the tramp was heard 10 ex-
claim in establishment, rs that it?'
indicating that the locker was looking
for something much different than he
saw. 1t is certain that the much
talked-of monster did not make much
OF ripple in the heavens % the west
where 1t was seen. The pictures in
the books and newspapers and the
real live comet itself. are widely diver
gent.
Some people who knew what kind OF
sight to be watching for. spied the
astral body as early as o'clock a
half hour after the sun had gone 10
rest. but most Of the people had
10 have the tailed star pointed out to
them between $40 and o'clock, at
which time it was more clearly to be
seen than at any other time before it
followed the sun over the horizon at
about 10 o'clock.
What II Looks Like.
It is difficult TO describe the appear
ance OF the comet but It looks more
like the moon behind heavy bank OF
clouds than 1t does like a star There
is nothing brilliant about the body
and there was little OF the tail 10 be
seen with the naked eye last night
The light from the comet is soft and
rather diffused. somewhat resembling
a locomotive headlight as seen through
G foe.
AT some moments those who watch
ed the body closely could see a small
appendage extending upward and to-
wards the left of the nucleus of light
and this is all there is to be seen of the
celebrated tail. according TO the re-
vised advices of the astronomers.
Greatest Sight Due Tonight.
The greatest sight for many days is
due tonight between 10 and II o'clock
the earth will move over between the
moon and the SUM. making a total
eclipse OF the latter which will con-
tinue until after midnight. This will
make the heavens much more dark
than they were last night and. there
fore. make the comet appear the more
brilliant providing the clouds do not
shut it from view. The moon was so
very bright last night that it dimmed
all the other celestial orbs by its in
tense light. There was also a curtain
of filmy clouds entirely screening the
heavens last night which also made
the seeing bad. If the night is clear
tonight there should be a great sight in
store for the people of the copper
country
DIR. McNair of the mining college. |
one OF the most persistent comet fans
in Houghton, in explaining the poor
view OF the tail secured last night |
said Il do not take much stock in the |
theory that the comet lost its tail and |
is growing another. The comet is now |
receding from the earth and we there
fore get view OF the tail greatly fore
shortered-we are looking at the COM
ct from the rear down the tail as It |
were and this, 7 believe, is the reason
that the tail appears so short" Dr.. /
McNair says he thinks the view to-
night will be the best we have yet had |
OF the comet. The body will not reach /
the horizon until 1O:2S tonight.

Taft is not expected by the officers of
