HALLEY'S COMET LORE
t5y Bulletin Astronomer.)

Last nights Bulletin gave di.
rect.ons how to find the comet but
unless You have glass of the most
powerful nature you will look In vain.
The comet Is there and can b. seen
with the right sort of an instrument.
Between March % ana April IL the
comet put In the time behind the sun
and OF course taking pep at II was
out OF the question.
The come.. however. Is going west
in its Path an the sun Is going east
Hence in short time the comet will
be on the west side of the sun and
viii make its nearest approach to II
on the 18th OF April. At this date
tApril 1S) the comet can be seen In
the east about two hours before sun
rise Its tail will point up from the
horizon and should therefore be seen
before the head. or brighter part, of
the comet 1t will continue to rise a
little earlier each morning for about
week, when 1t ought to be beau
tirul object in the morning sky. Its
motion from this time will apparently
carry II back toward the sun and Il
will appear to be going with the sun.
The reason for this seeming change
In its motion Is that II Is coming be.
tween the earth and sun and the much.
talked.of collision is about to occur.
On the Sth of May we have new
moon near the point where the path
of the moon passes through the lane
joining the earth and the sun. Hence
the earth will pass through the moons
shadUw and we will have an eclipse
of the sun. Since the size Of the
moons shadow Is determined by the
! distance Of the moon from the sun
! and by the diameter of the moon, It
can be accurately foretold what parts
Of the earth will pass through the
shadow The south pole Is the favored
spot this time, the eclipse being Wis.
ible only In the Antarctic ocean and
the southern part Of Australia. In
( identically the same way Halley's
comet passes between the earth and
the sun on the 18th of May.
rs tail. like the moons shadow
points away from the sun. The exact
dimensions of the tail do not depend
upon the size and distance of the
comet and on that account, cannot
be determined. The phenomenon is
therefore much more uncertain than
in the case OF the solar eclipse but
that II Is going to happen is Just as
certain as that the eclipse will oc
cur.
Earth Passes Through Tail.
At the time OF the transit the
comets head will be only fifteen mil
lion miles from the ear.h and II its tail
IL that long ut will probably be much
longer), we will certainly pass through
a large portion of 1t. While II Is very
fortunate for the jewellers OF the earth
70 have the rare opportunity OF passing
through the tail of so great comet
II Is very unfortunate for the people
OF Hawaii nei that II occurs
after most Of them have gone to sleep
The comet will start TO cross the sun
AT 10 p. III. on the evening OF May Is
and win occupy approximately an houl
In passing.
The observers on the islands OF the
Pacific ocean will have the grand
sight Of seeing great comet project
ed upon the sun. II the comets head
II Il solid mass II will entirely obscure
the sun according to the measure

observatory. The probabilities are
however. that II is not solid and that
the sun will not be darkened apprc
ciably. II there are any solid par.
ticles as large as ten miles In diane
ter. they can be seen as dark spots
on the face of the sun.
On the morning OF May is the tai
should be seen to extend from the east
toward the west. and In the evening
of the 10Th II should be seen in the
west extending toward the east. On
hese two dates the come. will be the
brightest, being seven thousand times
brighter than on the date of its dis
overy.
1t will sweep by the earth with a We.
locity of 2300 miles minute. II W.
add TO this the velocity of the earth
We get an actual velocity of 3i0o
miles per minute. OF course II the
comets tail whatever its constituency.
We're as dense as our own atmosphere,
there would be wrought dreadful
havoc to this small planet. but there
need be no fear of this. for a comets
tail is certainly lighter than our own
atmosphere at a distance of hundred
miles from the earth's surface. In
distance from the bead that II will
take most delicate instruments to de.
tect that the earth is passing through
any new medium The casual OBJ.
server will be wholly unaware of any
unusual occurrence There are cur.
rent now, even as there were at the
earlier appearance Of this wonderful
object. forecasts of direful results.
such as that the earth would catch
on fire or that We would become pois.
oned by the deadly gasses. &c.
No Cause For Alarm.
Such stories are completely without
foundation and grossly unscientifc. 1t
would pay every one, however, 20
watch for any beautiful display that
may occur in our upper atmosphere.
| We should therefore be eager for
the date and hope for clear weather.
that We may take advantages of this
once'infa-lfetime opportunity to sec
Halley's comet.
II IL greatly to be regretted that the
moon makes its appearance at about
the same time as the comet Although
II gives a solar eclipse on May s and
a lunar eclipse on May %. its light
will greatly detract from the beau.y
OF the comet. When the comet Is
brightest In the west the moon will
be full In the east. II seems the ironN
