Celestial Observations.
As the moon has now left the even
ing sky, the comet discovered by Brooks
on February 23d has again been ob
served. It is fading visibly, but i3
much higher up i-n tho sky, being now
near the Pleiades, and moving so ra
pidly that in watching at intervals
through tho tolescope one can seen it
changing its position among the sur
rounding stars. (The great comet of
last year is also still seen, but it is too
faint for any but a practiced eye to obf
serve. There is also now to be seen iri
the western sky on any clear, dark
evening what is known as the zodiacal
light, a lenticular-shaped column of
light, rising up from near the sunset
point and extending about forty-five de
gress toward the south. Many theories
are given to account for it, but none
are really satisfactory. Future discov
erics and labor ate yet needed to put
our knowledge of this wonderful ap
pendage on a sound basi3. The total
solar eclipse of May Gth may give us
some new light on this subjecfc, and as
tronomers are hopefully waiting its re
sults. I
