APP•ARLINT:IN by way of reviving public
interest in its proceedings, the comet has
it is said, divided itself into two parts. It
scums to us that Wasan improvident thing
of the comet to do.' If it hail been three
or four times the size- it is,: the coma
might have afforded 'that kind of diver
sion, but there really was not enough of
it to make a decent appearance of..,iiinte
unity, and if 'it ix going to waste its sub
stabco by su,bdivision and disintergmtion
it will very soon become imperceptible.
Besides, there is no . chance of its regain
ing its original popularity by any such
device. It and the astronomers between
them have disappointed a confiding and
imaginative public in a way which is not
to be forgiven. We were told
:when it
first put in an- -appearance that it was to
grow brighter and brighter until the-:mid
night sky was made resplendent by its
luminous glory. Instead of that, it has
steadily waned away, and now it has gone
to pieces. From a Spectacular point of
view its career has been an ignomious
failure.
