No Cause for Alarm.

INHABITANTS OF the earth have felt much
anxiety as to the effect on the earth when
1t passes through the comets tail May
10. In the west the feeling has been ap-
parently more acute than here.
The Yerkes observatory has been over
whelmed with letters asking about the
occurrence. Many seem to think it really
means the end of the world. Some of the
are piteous.
The fact is that the extreme end of the
tai through which the earth will pass is
made up of gases so attenuated that the
chances are the envelope of the earth s
atmosphere will turn them aside as a
stone wall would turn a current of water.
Except for the observations of the astron-
omers 1t would be impossible to tell tfRt
the earth passed through the tail at all.

Yerkes Observatory Statement.


A statement on the subject has been
made by Prof Barnard of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory. He said:
I've are doing our best to allay the ter
rors of all who apply to us, for it is true
that great many people are on the point
Of losing their reason over the prospect
The matter in that respect has serious
aspect.
1.-The passage will begin about o'clock
the evening of May Is, and will take
twenty-four hours. supposing that the tail
of the comet is nearly fifteen million
miles thick.
computations show that the earth
passed through the tail of the comet of
1851 without any one being aware of it
until the fact was established years later
by astronomers figuring out the astral
wanderers orbit This is the most solid
fact we have to go on and it is certainly
reassuring.
There has been little alarm in Wash
ington. Prof. ASaph Hall. who is per-
Eonally conducting the tour of the comet
through this solar system, says that
while a few letters have been received.
most Of them merely ask for sensible in
formation, and there is little suggestion
of panic in any Of them.
He takes a fatherly interest in the
stages Of the comet, for he was the first
of the waiting astronomers to pick it
UP. He is glad to see his baby of the
sky developing SO nicely.
The Naval Observatory will make a
series of photographs of the comet during
its passage. for permanent record. Be-
yond the scientific interest that attaches
to watching its progress, the event is
not of great Importance.
Sighted at Georgetown University.
Halley's comet was sighted this morn
ing at 4:12 o'clock by James K. Minch
and Joseph Mccormack. students at
Georgetown University Observatory.
It was first sighted with an ordinary
field glass. then with a comet searcher
and finally with a four-and- half
inch refracting telescope.
The telescope showed that the tail was
about three times the diameter Of the
head and was bushy.. The comets po-
sition was degrees above the horizon
and several degrees north of east

The Georgetown University observa-
tory gave out the information several
days ago that Halley's comet would be
visible to the naked eye at this time.
While the degree of it's brightness is
regarded as remarkable, 1t would be
difficult to locate 1t with the naked eye
without knowing the exact position to
