After digesting for the past few weeks
the thousand and one conflicting state
ments which had been made by scient-
lists Of what would happen when for
the first time i'm history the earth
passed through Halley's comet. the
people of Wilmington have found for
themselves that the passage was ac-
companied by the pres nee OF no
cyanogen gas, no magnetic display and
no day Of judgment.
Buried deep i'm the tail Of the comet
for six and a half hours last night and
this morning. with the earth midway
between the nucleus and the end Of the
tail Of the comet. and twelve millions
of miles from either. Wilmingtonians
were silent participants IN the most
remarkable astronomical phenomenon
of the kind on record. But for refer
enco to time-pieces no one would have
been the wiser.
The passage. which lasted from lit
tie before II o'clock last night until 3
o'clock this morning, as has been ex-
pected, occasioned no wonderful dis
play. AS II was. twenty-four trillion

the suns heat rays send out from the
head Of the comet.
Full as remarkable as this was the
phenomenon which was witnessed on
the other side Of the world. namely
the presence Of Halley's comet between
the sun and the earth. thus giving
astronomers n rare opportunity of dis.
covering of just what the nucleus Of q
comet consists.
An All Night Watch
In spite of the fact that every scien
tist worthy Of the name had said tina
there would be no danger whatsoeve
and that the passage could not be oh
served. practically the whole of vii
mington's adult population and most o
the younger generation stayed up unit
