GOT METE0RIC DUST, MAYBE
German Balloonists Bottled Air
at Height of II, 385 Feet.

Berlin. May 19-The balloon Abercron
was the only one among a large number
making ascensions in Germany which
succeeded, in getting observations of the
comet The aeronauts report that they
reached an altitude OF 1855 feet. They
noted extraordinarily brilliant horizontal
lights like meteors.
They secured four bottles of air at that
height, which will undergo expert ex-
animation for meteoric dust and other
ingredients. They were compelled to
descend owing to an electrical storm.
The Empress, the Crown Prince and
Crown Princess and other royal per-
souages visited the Potsdam observatory
tonight and watched the sky for long
time, but they failed to see the comet.

their efforts had been in vain, so lar as
seeing the actual transit was concerned
From their temporary observatory at D1a-

the same effect were made by Professor

servatory on Kainluki Hill
All observations were negative in Hawai-,

viewing the great event. The weather was
perfectly clear. Both astronomers agree
that the comet contains nothing solid large
enough to be visible through 61a-lnch tele-
scope against the background of the sun
Great fear was manifested among the
OrientaIs on the islands as the time for
the comets approach drew near. The
japanese on two large plantations on the
island Of Hawaii abandoned their work be-
cause of the strange visitor.
Manila, May 19.-Fatller Algue, an as

observatories at Manila, Baguio and Anti

When the returns came in Tues
