The wonoers Of March.

Automatically considered, this month
is particularly interesting on account OF
Halley's comet, which may now be seen
on nights when conditions are favorable,
with the aid OF an ordinary field glass.
The most favorable time to look for it is
between 80 and 1880 p. m, with the
glass elevated somew hat above where the
sun sets.
On the 25th it will pass behind
the sun and later be seen in the morning
before sunrise. Since the detection Of
the comet in September, it has increased
steadily in brilliancy, and very great in
crease in brightness is soon to begin.
During March this will be at least four
fold; in April II will be very rapid, and
on May is the maximum brilliancy will
be attained.
About that time, II clouds do not OBJ
scure 1t, il will be a dazzling sight.
About a third Of the heavens will be col
ored with a fiery gold, its great flashes OF
light will play from one part OF the sky
to another, and the scenes will be remem-
bered for generations. Halley's comet
has. always been noted for its brilliant
displays.
There will be, it is asserted, absolutely
no danger to the earth from the comet
through whose tail our orb will shoot
like cannon ball. The gas in the tail is
cyanogen. In order to become dangerous
it ouId have to come into contact with
large mass OF hydrogen, and that is prac-
ticaIIy all locked up in the water.
Further comfort is given in the assurance
that when the comet is nearest the earth
we shall be IL, 600, 900 miles away.
Saturday, the 10th, the day will have
gained three full hours in length since
the winter solstice of Dec. p and it will
be sunrise at 5 o'clock.
The moon fulls on the 25th-the paschal
moon of church calendars. The annual
event of March, which marks most promi-
nently the astronomical calendar, is the
SUMS crossing the equator going north.
The event comes on the 2lst at q. m,
and spring, in astronomy, begins.

NEW BUILDING A FEATURE

From the exhibitors viewpoint es-
pecially there were several things that
stood out prominently by contrast
with former years when the gates OF
the State Fair were opened for the
firth annual exhibition YESTERDAY
morning First among these, OF
course. was the magnificent industrial
building of brick and concrete. which
with its graceful lines and waving
flags from many states Of the Union,
stands directly across the race track
from the grandstand and houses the
most wonderful exhibition of great an
dustries in Virginia and other States
that has ever been gathered under one
roof in this city.
Arrangements Perfect.
Next, and most important to those
who came in quest Of ribbons and
prize money, were the perfect arrange
