ENCKE'S COMET
MAY Be HERALD
OF END or WAR
Visitor FIamed in Sky
al Caesars Death,

WASHINGTON, d. Gust about
three and third years ago a famous
comet appeared within our solar sys-
TEN. interesting for lis history and the
great names identified with il. At
about that time the world was %eleclri-
fled by the news OF a world conflict.
Today that same comet is reappear-
ing, and talk Of peace Is in The air.
Governments are telling the world
through their representatives what their
aims and objects in the war are-all
for the benefit of the enemy countries
Encke Learned Orbit.
The comet is Encke's, named after
the German scientist, Johann Franz
Encke.
Encke's comet is supposed to have
appeared, among many other fines,
about the time Of Julius Caesars death
(B. {. AZ, and furnished HALEY with
the opportunity to prove that comets
revolye around the sun in comic sec
tions and arc controlled by the same
force that controls planets. II is named
after Encke because this astronomer
determined its orbit. Backlund later
discovered that Its speed wa slightly
accelerated at each revolution or that
there must be some resisting medium
in OUT solar system.
"Encke's comet" said Prof. A. Hall
Of the United States Naval obScrva-
tory will be nearest the sun on March
Is OF this year. I'VE will watch it with
great interest because Of the theory
that it carries a resisting medium with
it as outlined by Encke upon its dis
covcry in 1919 by Pons, Its last ap-
p%carance was in September, 1914
Many Of the large observatories prob
ably will photograph it, II is a famous
body.
Due Again In 1872.
"Encke's comet" said Prof. Hall.
appears about every three and a half
years, and since the original deter
mination of its orbit by Encke, in 1870,
it has appeared and been noted by as
tronomers who followed Encke's cal
c~lations. 1t is supposed to he the ia
nous comet Of 1896. Encke's comics.
ture as to the orbit was that this come
appeared in 1885, l7oS and 1905 am
that it would appear again in 1922
His figures proved to be correct t
within a few hours"
, The comet cannot be seen with tn,
naked eve unless under exceptions
, circumstances, according to Prof. Hall
and was first seen on Dec. 20, Of 1917
, in right ascension p hours 50 min
, ute' g seconds dcclination north
. degrees II minutes and 81 seconds.
