HOW A COMET CAME BACK
Returning Astral Visitor Expected to
Be Visible to the Naked Eye About
Christmas Time.

It Is with a sense Cf relief that as
tronomers have heard of the safe re-
turn Of Enckes comet, which has lust
been located in the constellation Of
Perseus by a Russian astronomer in
the Crimca. This comet was due to
appear on one of its periodical visits
early in 1908, but TO the bewilderment
OF the astronomical world two comets
turned up In the predicted place
within few weeks of each other. A
Subsequent lnathema teal inYestiga,
ion identified the second Of these two
as the genuine Encke, but the sugges-
ton was put forth that the other
comet was, perhaps. bit OF the Encke
comet, which had been broken off as
the result of collision with some I'M
seen body.
As this particular comet is not built
on massive lines it was feared that it
would not survive another celestial
collision. Happily IL stlll survives TO
give astronomers another chance Of
solving the mystery OF its steady ap-
proach to the sun. dangerous habit
which no other member Of the solar
system has yet copied Ii all goes
well the comet should be visible to the
naked eye about Christmas.-Pall Mall
