BROOKS COMET
GROWS BRIGHTER

Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamil-
ton, Calif.-Brooks' comet con-
tnues to increase in brightness and
is now a brilliant object in the
morning sky. Last Monday MORN
ing the head OF the comet was
about % degrees northeast of the
of Venus. the morning star, and
the tail could be plainly traced
with the naked eye through nearly
70 degrees. AS always in comets,
the tail extends almost directly
away from the sun and hence in
this case, to the northwest from
the head of the comet.
The photographs taken at the
Lick observatory show that the
forces which produce the tail are
being greatly stimulated by the
comets approach to the sun and
that rapid changes are taking place
in the material and in the form of
the tail. In this respect Brooks
comet lis the most interesting one
observed since 1908. far surprising
Halley's. The head of the comet
was photographed on large scale
with the Crossley reflector Sunday
morning, October %. and the tail
was photographed at the same time

The former shows clearly the
many jets and streamers original.
ing in the nucleus and driven out
to form the tail by the repulsive
forces emanating from the sun.
The later shows long, narrow,
straight, streamer tail, probably
formed of light gases, and
broader. twisted and curved tail,
composed of many strands and
formed, probably, from heavier
gases.
SpectroscOpe observatins secured
m Sunday morning show that the
tail like that ''of Comet Morehouse,
in 1908 consists of large extent
of carbon monoxide gas. In the
head of the comet the bands of
sodium vapor as well as the usual
hyro-carbon and cyanogen vapor
band are present. There are also
other lines and bands which have
not yet been identified.
At present the comet is about IL
600, 900 miles fom the earth, and
is tavtling away from US at a rate
Of 100000 miles day. In spite
Of this fact it will probably con-
tinue to increase in brightness for
several days, for it is still ap-
preaching the sun, reaching it's
point of. greatest proximity, about
466, coo, 900 miles, On October 27.
The actual length of the tail at
present exceeds 30, 100000 miles.
The best time to see the comet
is at S o'clock in the morning.

his wife fell victims.
Part of the bequest to the university
included a magnificent country place,
consisting of beautiful house and
1900 acres of land at Marwah, N. j..
in the Ramapo mountains, with all ap-
purtenances.
1t was in the basement of this house
that the enormous collection of fine
cigars were discovered. They were
found in a specially constructed vault
of large dimensions, built into the
side wall of the basement. The CT
gars are of rare quality, having been
made especially for Mr.. Croker
who was a great lover of the weed.
Most of the cigars are stamped with
the monogram of Mr.. Crocker, and
the markings on the boxes show that
they were made in the leading factor
