f Hel lelberg University, on September
12. Is advancing rapidly tovard
the earth. At that time it was
22 million kilometirs front us; this
istance has been reduced to 226
illlon, which is about the distance
jf the orbit of Mars to the sun
'he comet then has come about three
hunlred million kilometers closer to
is In seventy-six days, which gives
t an average speed of 3,890,000
cllometero, or very nearly four mil
ion kilometers a day. Truly a pretty
fair speol! That speed, too, will
?o on Increasing according as the
omet draws nearer to the sun.
Just now the comet's path la dlected
toward both the sun and the
earth. After the mid lie of Decern'>er,
while still speeding onward
toward the bud, it will draw away
from our planet. Later on, however,
it will again move toward the i
earth through the combination of
Its elliptic orbit with thV almost
Ircular path which the terrestrial
globe describes every year around
the radiant heat center of the solar
system.
As a pale nebula. Invisible even
by means of the most powerful In- i
-trumcnta, perceptible only by the
ohotograpblc eye, the comet pass

the 17th to the 16th magnitude. Rv
the mid lie of October It ha I reach
ed the 15th, nnd at the beglnnlrg
of November the 14th. It has now
"eached the 13th magnitude, and Its
movements are followed punctually
by the powerful Instruments of the
tbservatorlea. Even Its spectral
tnalysls already has been commenc
ed.
The comet shouM oil April 20
reach the point of Its nearest aporcach
to the sun. Its peiihelion 90.000,000
klloineteis from the silar
sphero. Its speed Is then 54,000
meters a second, 5,240 kilometers u
minute, or 1 94.4 44 kilometers an
hour. Bathing in the eflluvia of the
lecfrlc, calorific, luminous radiation
of the sun. It becomes lmpreg
nated with Its rays, un'ergolng In
Its whole being fantastic transformations
which len 1 It prodigious
glory, develop It by multiplying, ten
tltnes. a hundred times, its volume
lengthening it to millions and mil
lions of kilometem by a kind of
phosphorescence which always Is extended
away from the sun an l gives
rise to the forml lable talis which
filled with terror the souls of our
mcostors.
Thenceforth the wnnlerer's path i
taken it away from the ardent cuter
to sink into the deserts of <
lmmens ty, gradually diminishing In i
size, becoming a sort of lnvlslb.e <
bubble, an 1 finally to find again the <
night of Its aphelion In which for t
vears and years it Is lost to the eyci I
of astronomers on the earth. It
gees away to a dl?tanre of five thou
and million kilometers, Into the
ultra Neptunian night, In which Its
apeed Is gradually decreased to loss
than a kilometer per second Die

After leaving its perihelion ih.?

iguln approaches the terrestrial or

perihelion ?that Is,until April 20 It
will t>e a morning star, visible *n

becomes an evening star after th-*
perihelion uui will be visible In ibe

It will bo then very remarkable, as

This time possibly It Is to gut
us a surprise on the after effects
of which It Is difficult to theorlre.
According to the calculations of several
astronomers who are now occupied
by the Bpecla! orbit of the
comet during its present opposition,
tt may pass before the sun about May
18. Mr. Crommelln. In Hngland,
and Mr. Soarlo. In America, agree
with the calculations of others on
this position. At that date the head
of the comet will be twenty-six million

Virginia May Infuse to Let Statues '

Vnless Congress Accepts the Former
Promptly in the Spirit in Which
It Is Offered. I
A Washington dispatch to Th<^

that Immediately after the holidays

by the governy^nit or returned t .

er. It Is an :erstooJ, will be force

A member of the Virginia commission
charged with the duty o:
arranging ooth for the preparation '
>f the Lee statue and for Its pre
entaticn to the government on be
half of the State of Virgin'n
A'edties lay stated In most enaphat '
lc lurms that the Oil Dominion
would not let the question be fore
ed, neither the acceptance of tht 1
tatue, together with that of Gen
A'ashington, by the government.
"As a member of the commission,'
'e salt, "an 1 a citizen of Vlrzln'n,
will do my best to have the statue- 1
>??th of Lee and Washington re
| toved at once from Statuary Hall in
| he capital and carried to Richmon 1 i
l loss congress shall agree to accept I i
hem both, not only pleasantly bu*
j n the best of spirit. Virginia, yoi
iay he sure, is not anxious to fore*
| -engross or any other body to recog- '
! ilze Lee in Statuary Hall. In fact
i fe--l almost Justified In saying thn
| he matter has gone too far already
he grin 1 old State of Virginia, nnl '
n 'eed. the entire South, has beer
nsulte 1 by the very thought of re
-ting the I.ee statue.
"If congress will not accept It Ihe
spirit In which it is oflVre"
hen I feel safe In saying that r
litre will be found not only for thl '
statue?the I.ee statue?but for that
>f Washington also in the State cap

only of Virginia, but of the entln i
South would bo glad to see both
\VflshIn?tnn nnrl T no In th** i
Richmond. But I hope sincerely
that ho more will be said In a wa>
that will make the Virginia peopl
'eel that they wotild have to taki
such action as might some day Ik

It is learned here that there Is r
"nnsldernble amount of ill feeling
1 r.eondore I by the placing of thes' '
statues In the capitol. The ottlclal '

One of these guides was asked
vhat the tourists thought of the mat- |
r?irrespective of who they wen
or where they came from. He re j
diei that his business had lncreas
wonderfully since Lee was place
*i the canltol. that many ha 1 view j

A few days a?o the press dispatch
es announced the protest of th"
Michigan Loyal Legion against the
acceptance by congress of Gen. Rob

the statue of George Washington,
the two being the contribution of

'hat the Washlngtons anl the Lees
