Paying it's third visit in little more
than a century, the Pons- Winnecke
comet tomorrow night, by coming
within 100000 miles, will make its
closest contact with the earth.
Although naval astronomers here
and other observers throughout the
country are planning extensive
studies at this range, the comet itself
may not be the only interesting
phenomenon. for according to Charles
p. oliver, professor of astronomy at
the University of Virginia, there may
be a shower of meteors as a result
of this approach to the, earth.
1.-THE earth may pass through some
of the debris of the comets nucleus,
in which case there will be a meteor
shower of more or less intensity"

quire the last four parcels of land
necessary to the completion of its $751;
100000 water-power plant at Como
wingo. Md, was upheld yesterday in

of James G. Colgate, New York stock
broker, owner of the land, for an in
junction to restrain the public serv.
ice commissioner and the Water and
Power Resources Board of Pennsyl-
vania from authorizing the electric
company to seize the lots under the
right Of eminent domain.
The court ruled that the Pennsyl-
vania authorities had the power to
grant the right of eminent domain
for any project affecting the welfare
of the people Of the commonwealth,
despite the fact that the engineering
problems of the project made it neces-
sary to place the dam and the actual
power plant across the State line in
Maryland.
