periodic character was soon determined
1t comes SO close TO the earth's orbit
that II the comet and earth were to ar
rive at the same time a collision would
occur and the earth would pass through
the comets head.
AT the return OF the comet in 1892
some one started the report that there
would be such an encounter and In con-
sequence there was a panic in southern
France, the first OF the since numerous
comet scares." At this time the comet
passed the critical point about month
