COMETTOHING Not Been Seen Since 1835 Will Be Brightest in May mem J. A. JOHNSON It Washington, Aug. 24. "If yon "live until next spring you will witness one of the most magnificent sights the heavens have ever disclosed," mid one of the well known members of the astronomical force at the United States Naval observatory today to the Ulolie Democrat correspondent. "Halloy's comet comes only once in a lifetime, and many are l»orn, live and die with out ever catching a glimpse of it in its dash across the skies. It was last seen in iw i&. and few poisons now alive can say they have seen it." The astronomer explained that ^the entire Astronomical world is now*%on the qui vive and that hnge refracting telescopes, as well as reflecting ones, are being trained upon the heavens from every important strategic point of observation in an effort to locate the comet, which is approaching the earth at a rate that would make the swiftest express train look like a snail. With every advantage aa the result of tlM put three-quarter* if a century of development in astronomical science, at their command, all of the leading observatories are engaged now in friendly rivalry to see which will be the tiist to sight the comet. The moineut this is done the news will travel as fast as cable and wireless can carry the announcement, and the following-night telescopes in the live continents will be trained like big guns toward the domain of the new comer in the heavens. "The coming of this comet will be by far the most important astronomical event of recent years We hava cal cnlated that Hal ley's comet is now within the orbit of the plane,Jupiter," said the astronomer, ''and is rushing toward the orbit of the earth at the rate of a million miles a day. As a faint nebulous objwt in the constella tion Orion it will ao doubt be sighted in a few weeks. In fact celestial pho tography has it already located iu lim itless space far beyond the vision of the most delicate telescopic research. As the comet enteis into the orbit of our solar system it will grow brighter every day until it becomes visible to the naked eye. Aside from this it lias an interesting place in classical, as well aa astronomical literature. When it was last seen it was a year before the birth of Simon Newcornh, the great American astronomer, who has just died, but whose splendid mathematical mind had long since lo cated its wherealoiits in ihe far away realms of infinite Bpace. There will be no danger of 'a colli sion. When closest it will be about 20,000,000 miles away. It should be brightest about next May. After al)out July it will gradually pass away arid early in 1911 disappear into a night of impenetrable darkness, to be seen no more until the close of the present century.
