Absent for seventy-five years, its return has already been detected by the camera and large telescopes, and in December we shall begin to see it with the naked eye. Nightly it will brighten and increase in bulk and length, until at its most brilliant development the Comet will possibly stretch across one third of the sky, reaching as far as a line of sixty full moons. Not before late summer will it vanish from view, to be seen no more by mortals for another three-quarters of a century. It goes without saying that abclutely nothing w),ll so win popular attention and excite popular interest for the next few months as Halley’s Comet. THE AUTHOR. The writer of these articles is Dr. Frederick Campbell, President of the De partment of Astionomy in the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Dr. Campbell has long been a popular lecturer, chiefly on Astronomy, and for more than twenty years a writer for the press. His articles for upward of seven years were published monthly by the Brooklyn Eagle. THE SERIES. The first article deal with the appearance, dimensions and distance of the Comet. The second wi h the dates when it will be at certain important points in its course. The third will deal more specifically with the course of the Comet, helping the re'ader to a clear conception of its performances. The fourth article will handle the remarkable history of this Comet, reaching back to the times before Christ. The fifth will be a study of the nature of this and other comets. The sixth and last article will discuss the question of the possi bility of collisions between this Comet and other comets, and the earth. t COPYRIGHTED.
