There are films illustrating the cleo

did before I'm his life. (And re-
porters, sometimes, feel very,
very small indeed).
1t was 4 o'clock I'm the morning.
From the floor of the big white

on q huge step ladder, high enough
to reach the eyepiece of the mon
ster crystal. Below him ON one
side was DIR. w. w. Campbell, d.

Twenty-four hundred miles a

clapped his eye back to the stars.

'Maybe not" laughed the d.

tain that the earth will pass
through the tail of Halley's comet.
You see we know what the comet
is going to but we don't know alb

be-"
1--WE know that Halley's comet
will be exactly between the earth
and the sun on May IS; that the
contact with the suns disc, at the
western edge, will be at 6:22 D. m.
Pacific standard time; that 1t will
require an hour for the comet to
pass to the easterly edge; that
the head of the comet will be A.
100000 miles from the earth.
But we do not know absolutely
that the tail will extend from the
head to the earth. Judging from
the length of the tail at present,
the tail which you Just saw, there
is little doubt that on May 18 It.
will be longer than the 14.000,0OOI
miles between the head and the
earth.
How will the world know
whether 1t is passing through the
tail Perhaps only from the OBJ
servatories. Yet it is not improb-
able that there will be faint
glow some time during or through
out the night of the 18th. 1t is
possible, though not probable, that
there will be visible an unusual
number Of small meteors. Observ-
ers of Europe and the Americana
continent west of Nevada will not
be able to see the comet when 1t
is nearest the earth. 1t will be
crossing the sun, and for those
