HALLEY'S COMET
Its Disappearance For Two Months
Likely to Be Visible to the
Chicago.?Minus Its tail, its lustre
dimmed to a point below the light of
a sixth magnitude star, but rushing
earthward at the exact place its schedule
prescribed. Halley's comet returned
to the ken of astronomers, and
for more than half an hour before
dawn was watched from Yerkes Observatory
at Williams Bay, Wis., by
Professors Frost and Bernard, working
independently. That the spectrum
may show what has happened to
the apparently lost tail of Halley's
comet is the belief held by Professor
Frost.
"It is worth noting that when it
was here before in 1S35 the tail disappeared
two days before the perihelion,
and was not seen pgain for two
months," he said. "Halley's is the
only comet ever known to behave like
this. It is probable that the tail is
there, but is so dispersed that it is
net bright enough to be seen.

Washington, D. C. ? \Villi3 L.
Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau,
issued a statement that will brin&
peace of mind to folks who arc worrying
about a possible collision with
Halley's comet. Here is what Chief
Moore has to say:
"Popular apprehension regarding
harm to the earth and its inhabitants
during the impending visit of Halley's
comet to this portion of the universe
is unfounded. The result of a collision
between the earth and a comet
would depend upon the mass of the
comet, the velocity of the bodies and
the angle of impact. A collision in
the present case will be impossible
owing to a safety margin between the
tracks of the earth and the comet of
some 13,000,000 miles. The tail of
the comet through which the earth
will probably pass will be noticeable
only as an absolutely harmless luminous
gas or dust, and may produce
electrical and magnetic effects that
can be detected only by self-recording
instruments. A source of possible

Burlington, Iowa.?Representative
Frank O. Lowden, of Illinois, a former
Burlington resident, has taken
up the prosecution of a historical project
of interest to Western Illinois
and to this part of Iowa. By the donation
of a sum of money he has furthered
the project of setting up permanent
markers to outline the march
which Abraham Lincoln took up in
the Black Hawk war. Only the oldest
inhabitants in those regions now have
any memory of the course of that
campaign, which is not adequately
outlined in history.
The object of the markers will be
to fix permanently the line of march
and the camping grounds planned by
the martyr President. The way led
across the prairies of Illinois to the
Mississippi River at a point near Burlington,
then known as Flint Hills.
The march was made from Beardstown,
111., to Oquawka, then known
as the Yellow Banks on account of
the peculiar coloringof the river shore
line. From Oquawka the route was
laid to the mouth of the Rock River.
There were two expeditions in the
Black Hawk war, one in 1831, when
Black Hawk escaped from the pursuers
and crossed the Mississippi, and
the second in the following year, when
Black Hawk returned to the Illinois
shore with the determination to re
main.
Lincoln was made captain of one of
the companies which took up the campaign
against tiie Indians. The expedition
gave several names to the localities
along the route which are
still borne. It is interesting to note

"The theory of its being foreshortened
or the head being between us
and the tail is altogether untenable.
A comet's tail always points away
from the sun, and if there have been f
any pictures printed in which this was e
not the case they are incorrect. Some- t
times a second tall appears, and this
freak tail may point toward the sun,
but the main tail always points n
away. d
"If the tail is there and Is merely u
invisible to our eyes the spectroscope t
might show it. There was, of course, t
no such instrument when the comet
was here in 1S35. We hope to be "
able to use the spectroscope on it in a
short, time, and may prove that the
tail is present by this means. The
fact that the spectroscope did not reveal
its presence would not necessarily
mean that the tail is not there,

danger or discomfort to the earth attending
cometary visits would be the
falling into the sun of a comet. As
the leaBt distance between Halley's
comet and the sun in the present instance
will be more than 54,000,000
miles the possibility of discomfort
from solar excitations will not exist."
Halley's comet was sighted by Professor
Asaph Hall, U. S. N., at the Naval
Observatory through a powerful
telescope. At 4.50 o'clock in the
morning Professor Hall saw the dim
outlines of the approaching comet.
Its position was one hour and forty
miniftes west of the sun. The comet
should have been visible during the
past week, but its approach was obscured
by cloudy weather. This was
the first time the comet has been
sighted in this city. On May 19 next
the earth will pass through its tail,
and after that date the comet will be
visible only in the evening. It will
then be leaving the earth, not to reappear
again for about seventy-five
years.
