The expert examiner of mutilated and
burned money has a lense on the re-

positively-as has been done before un-

the poor widow
For there is the case of the widows

And when the pig was cut open, the

nomination determined without much
much trouble.
So nothing is impossible to this ex-

grees long, respectively.
Some astronomers contend that this
comet has similar elements to tho
great comet OF 1S4s. and computations
are now being made to test the posi-
bility of the identity of the two.
The latest computations show that its
perihelion passage will occur July Il.
at distance almost equal to that OF
the earth from the sun at the same
time. Its predicted positions in the
heavens from April 80 to May - have
been estimated at $4,000. 900 miles from
the earth on April so: 42.ooo.ooo miles

Sagittarius about ten degrees east OF

best be seen about 1 am. During the
early part of June this comet may be
fine object for southern observers. as it
will come within 35,00O.000 miles of the
earth. 1t will be at its brightest about
June 1912. when 1t will pass over the
smaller Magellantc cloud, and be q

AS 1t recedes from the sun the orbit
of the Mellish comet will be parallel
with the neighboring part of the
earth's orbit, SO that the earth follows
it for some time at a gradually in-
creasing distance. 1t will probably be
easily vesible to southern observers for
many months. 1t will, in all events.
also become telescopically observable
again in northern latitudes before it
fades away in the distance from our
