DE[AVAN COMET IS
WEE BIT OF THING

Professor Delavan ought to take his
funny little comet out somewhere and
trade 1t off for a soft-boiled egg or
something useful. He would be money
ahead That Is II the comet Is doing
the best 1t can to smear Itself into
the limelight.
The anemic little fellow was visible
last night between 10:45 and 11:20
during a period when the cloud banks
shuffled their murky bulks off the
southern sky. but 1t was no sight to
brag about. The waxing moon helped
to diminish the yellowish glow of the
exotic stranger so that 1t was only
with considerable difficulty that tho
comet could be distinguished from
some Of the neighboring fixed stars.
The comet. at the hour mentioned,
was several degrees west of due south
and approximately 25 degrees above
the horizon. 1t is also little distance
higher UP in the heavens than the
guide star Zeta Eridani, which has
been used as n finder" by the astron-
omers during the past two weeks. The
faint suspicion of a tail scarcely pre-
ceptible because of the moonlight and
barely the same length as the nucleus
of head of the comet seemed like a
mere haze or glowing blur In the wake
Of the interesting sky wanderer
As previously remarked, the comet
looks stunted and underfed. II some-
body who understands cometic hy-
giene and dietetics would give 1t a
nursing bottle or handful of pre-
dirested sawdust or something 1t
would materially aid those who yearn
soulfully for a glimpse OF the heavenly
nomad
Those who have already seen 1t are
figuring on notifying the health de.
rar,ment to see II something can't DO
done for the pathetic little mite.
