attached to the free-lance Of the skies,

science as the comet Of the war OF
1914. Although when Delevan discov-

the direct result Of worriment over the
great slaughter. On August Fl there
was an eclipse of the sun, total over
a part Of Russia and other European
territory where war Is raging. The
coming Of a great comet might by
the ignorant be construed as an omen.
When Delevan first saw the comet.
on December II, 1918, 1t was 10000
miles from the sun. and was not very
clear even with the telescope. AT
present it is about 220,O00.000 miles
from the sun, and may be seen with
opera glasses in the northeast part of
the sky, late at night, and early In
the morning Scientists have said that
the Delevan comet will be visible with
telescopes for a period stretching over
about six years.
It will come nearest to the earth In
October. when 1t will be not more
than 147.OOO,OOO miles from the orbit
of this globe.
Although the atmosphere in most
cities makes photography OF the sky
extremely difficult, some excellent re-
salts have been obtained in several
cities Of the United States by those
who have attempted to take pictures Of
the new wanderer of the heavens.
