It is rapidly bright ening and observers should experience no diffloulty in detecting it several de grees southwest of the bright star Alpha Cy gui. Just now the position of the comet is suoh that lines drawn from it to the North Star and the fixed star Vega would form almost an equilateral tri angle. At ll p. m. tho oomet is nearly overhead, whoro the naked eve catches sight of it at onoe by reason or its pecu liar appearance-tint of a hazy patoh of light, or, as it bas been dosoribed, that of a hairy star. The uuoleus is visible as a bright point, and the base surround ing it ie tout imi?' Hy extending and now rese nbles a very large, bright nebula. With an opera glass tbe denser part of | the tail near the liead can be easily dis tinguished, but a telescope is needed to show the bifurcation of the oomot's tail, which is several degrees in length and growiug as the comet continues to ap proach the sun. The orbit of the oomet has been computed by Prof. Perrine. It is now in a parabole in such a way that its nearest approach to thesuu willocour on AugUBt -i ii h atadistanoe of 31,000,000 miles. Its present dlstanoe from tho earth is about 90,000,000 miles. Tho comet will continue to inoroase in bright ness, but it cannot yot bu said how bright it witt become. It is at present moving rapid i' , so that its ohange of ?laco from night tonight is very uotiooa le. Brutally Tortured.
