near enough tci per mit viewing it with the naked eye this comet has absolutely nothing to do with tho hk'tenric display whadii is due next yeae or with any possible meteoric display we may have on the night of the kith hist dr brooke has not been able to learn much abomt it hhttsew but i see that perlne one of the assistants in the lick observatory believes he has identified it with thooamet of 1881 if this be so it will prove to he one of the 17 year comets till the orbil tff this comet has been computed which is a work requiring great labor and time it eann.it lie definitely classilioc'l when we have learned its orbit the next step will ho to examine the record nf the orbitfi of utber comete<discovered if th orbit of the new comet cones ponds with the orbit of any comet already discovered berth are identical far no two comets have the same orbit i'youn present indications however it is mot lit all likely that brooke a 	 t will furnish anything in the nature of a very
