-It Is to be regretted that clouds
obscure Comet A 1910 those past
fow evenings. Only a few evenings
sinco this comet could have been
seen by our people in our county had
the fdey been clear. The comet is
now about 00,000,000 miles from tho
earth, traveling, according to tho
latosl calculations about forty-ono
miles a second. It passed porlillion,
or nearest point to tho sun, on Jan.
17th at a distance of a little less
than 4,000,000 miles, and by tho
end of February will bo soma 120,
000,000 miles from the sun and
1 or., 000, 000 miles from tho earth.
The comet Is now In tho constella
tion Pegasus, or tho Flying Horse;
and sots about 7 p. in., that is, for
tho head, the tall, of course point
ing up, romalns above tho horizon
a longer time. This comet must not
bo confounded with Halloy's, which
is keeping closo to its appointed
path, and will keep Its appointment
with the sun on April 19th next. It
will be nearost tho earth about tho
middle of May, the head of tho com
et bolng only boiiio 13,000,000 miles
from us, so that wo nro likely to
bo Involved In Its tall. It Is now in
tho constellation Pisces, or tho
Fishes, Is on tho morldlnn about 4
p. in., and sets about 10:30 p, in.,
and is more than 100,000,000 miles
distant from tho earth. So far as
known tho new comet cannot bo
identified with any other comet that
has over visited us, and It lu likely
that It is moving in a parabola,
which Is an open curvo that does
not return into itself. It is ono of
the tramp family of celestial wand
erers, and seems to havo had no
special discoverer, but was discover
ed by about everybody,
