First authentic calculations as to the dis tance tho tall of Halloy's comet will extend beyond the earth when the sphere passea through It on May 18 was mado public today at tho Stu dent Observatory, University of California. Tho length of the tail is estimated at 15,000,000 miles. The earth will pass through tho tail at a distance of 14,000,000 miles from tho comet and therefore will 'bisect tho tail with approximately ,a million miles of it to spare. Photographs of tho comet and tall taken regularly every morning Indi cate that tho tall is -15 degrees long, which corresponds to 15,000,000 miles. ' For a few days from now on, the comot will be at lta best, before In ferior conjunction on May 18. The comet is being photographed regu larly at tho students' observatory when the weather conditions aro fa vorable. Yesterday morning W. F. Meyer, students' assistant, estimated the length of the tall in spite of tho slight haze to bo 10 degrees to the naked eye. On a plato secured by Meyer, the tall extends to the edge of the plate which makes its length on the plato 12 degrees. This shows fits real length Is at least 15 degrees, which corresponds to about 15,000, 000 miles. Tho tall will therefore undoubtedly, extend beyond tho earth on May 18 at inferior conjunction. faint YFS wmc, zti tft.tc i:k ro i unst c si ro r - mermm a AIW "a" mS A A SALE IS STILL ON AT Just step in and see the crowds and you'll realize that the entire community has confidence in our .statement when we say that we are selling everything in the store without a single exception at 20 per cent discount, We sliall give you at least two days' notice in the daily papers before closing tills sale HUNDREDS WERE KILLED.
