Astronomers Look for Skjellerup by Tonight, Tomorrow or Christmas New Haven, Dec, 20.-"The Skjel- lerup comet has not come up yet in our skies," said Professor Frank Schlesinger, director of the Yale astronomical observatory. last night. We have taken observations daily for three days. although we have not fully expected the comet until to- morrow.
 Tonight sky conditions were not perfectly clear, but we are satis- fled that the comet is not visible either to the telescope or to the nak- ed eye. We shall continue our ob- servations and fully expect to see the comet before long. There is un- certainty about the brightness with which a comet will shine. They flare up and fade away. but we feel little doubt that the comet will be visible when 1t is fully due here.'
