According to Astronomer McHugh Old
Tail Will Soon Disappear and the
New One Will Become Visible
in a Short Time.

Chicago, H., May 21.-The theory
that Halley's comet has lost its tail,
which is still floating I'm space In the
eastern sky. and is now generating a
new one. was advanced by Rev. Daniel
J.. McHugh, professor of astronomy
at DePauw university today
The old tail was forced away from
the comet by force of unusual elec-
trical repulsion, caused by sun spots
which were so prominent on Wednes-
day he thinks.
1T is my opinion" said McHugh,
"that the comet lost it's tail sometime
Wednesday night. There are records
1885 and it is also believed there is
not the slightest chance of the earth
coming in contact with the tail on this
visit.
combined with the solar repulsion
caused by t&e sun spots i'm forcing the
old tail away was the attraction on the
