Memories Of HALEY comet in 1910
and the bright one that preceded 1t
in the same year may be revived
during the next few weeks if Wilk's
comet, discovered on Friday by a
Polish astronomer, continues to be-
come brighter.
When discovered, it was Of the
seventh magnitude. Saturday 1t
was estimated to be of the sixth
magnitude, just at the limit OF
naked eye visibility. Photographs
made Sunday morning at the Har-
ward observatory here showed an
embryonic tail that was not report

emily developing.
AS comet approaches the sun, it
increases in activity and brilliance
usually growing tail if it becomes
very bright. The new visitor may
become the first bright naked eye
comet seen in the northern hemis
phere for years. SkjellerUp's comet,
discovered two years ago by an Aus

reached naked eye br-lliance, but
failed to become conspicuous except
in southern countries.

Besides the Harvard observations,
the comet was seen Sunday from the
Johns Hopkins university obServa-
tory at Baltimore by DR.. R. L. Wa
ferfeld, who estimated its brilliance
as the sixth magnitude. With three
separate observations at different
times, astronomers can calculate the
path in which the comet is moving,
and then can tell whether or not
It is likely to become much brighter.

though nation wide unification of

Sion'S agreement on a recommended

fore all of the proposed changes are
accomplished.
There is nothing compulsory
about, nor even any assurance that
authority will be sought to carry
out the consultations which it pro-
poses" Commissioner Joseph East

There are now pending before the
commission four applications for

enCes. The commission refused
heretofore to authorize hearings on
these applications pending compile
ton of its law, but it is expected
now that hearings will be held early
in the new year.
In the eastern territory, the most
vigorous fight is expected over the
proposal to convert the Wabash
into a fifth competitive system, ex-
tending from Omaha to Kansas
City, via Toledo, Cleveland, Pitts
burgh and Buffalo to Baltimore and
to New York.
The Wabash was given the Sea-

awarded the Lehigh Valley which,

controlled by the Pennsylvania.
