The Coming Comet.
The last observations of the comet dis
covered by Professor Scalberle of Anu
Arbor, Michigan, in April last, indicate
that in the course of the next week it wil1
create a sensation amoEg the star-gazers.
Its brilliancy is decreasing, because it is
plunging rapidly towards the sue, and
will soon be obscured by the powerful rays
of the great luminary. After a few dajs
it w.'ll recede, but will lemain visible
through the telescope till late in the fall
It is not now visible to the naked eye, but
with a powerful telescope it can be seen
about 11 o'clock at night to the left oi the
North star and Lalf way between it and
the western horiz ju. It appears but a mere
speck, even with the telescope, Lut can be
distinguished fioin the otmr stars by a
tiny train of Hght that follows it. The
comet is thought to be a stranger, of whose
existence there is no record.
