The pre.-tnt Prof. Hall, who is a graduate of Harard and a Ph. D. of Yale, held the chair if astronomy at the University of Miehgan before being called to take the ank of professor of astronomy which his ate father held here at the Naval Obervatory a generation ago. It was by i3 courtesy that I vtas enabled to see he various steps of the observatory's tudy of the comet, and ho went to coniderable trouble in explaining the various listruinents to me.

This p is effected by a very clever bit.of mech- tl anisnt which will interest you, and this Is p how it works: 0 r n * u * Tiii- telescope is aimed at the western sky, where the comet now appears, and earth is, as always, rolling us back- c ward toward the east, which makes the r: stars in the nest appear to he falling, si Thus if you look through a fixed tele- u scope the heavenly bodies arc seen to p pass duwnwa d across its field in a con- e tinttal procession. But this telescope lfj attached to a clock-work motor which '' drops it as fast ai earth raises it above a star, and so exact is the adjustment that tl the star's image can he kept in the ten- u ter of the eyepiece. In other words, the big tube is timed to follow the stars. tl But cite comet Is a law unto Itself and p no une can inrtke a^. telescope which will I u f<4- i\v its irregular path. So Mr. Peters j does the riert best thing. He aims the ii telescope at u rtsr next to the comet-- li one perhaps shining through the tail.and w the instrument follows faithfully. He j; knows how fast the comet i.-^ movir.ff a away from the star nt this particular time and In what direction. So by twirling a couple of wheels lie keeps steering tl trie telescope so that It is uimed at the y] coiner. It is a very delicate operati -n t< and one demanding a sure hand. p On the wall is an odd clock which h loudly ticks seconds, but once every min- w lite you note that it hesitate*: and skips a it tick. Mr. Peters listens for this gap and it H a signal for him to correct hi* aim. », Thus he keeps the comet always cover- v. cl. for «.< let the telescope rlrap would » u al;e a blur upon the attached cameras, tl There arc two of these cameras, and with their tubes arranged aide by s'.de tl the> look tike a pair of giant opera i> glasses, bolted to the telescope's barrel b ami turning with It.

The lenses ot' the .cameras are six inc hes i diameter, and each focuses the comet aek through a tube a little over a yard 11 length and having a square clamp ot he rear. Into the3c clamps he puts hla air of plate holders, each containing nly one plate and therefore having but single slide. * Tiie plates used are labeled "insumtannus" and are the kind which phologaphers use for quick snapshot work, uch as street scenes on rainy days. They re four by live inches in size. Having ut the loaded plate holders In the catnras and taken out the slides, Mr. Pe.crs jIIm a pair of cords which open the siiutsrs over the lenses.

Desiring delicate negatives full of detail. he uses a weak hydrokinone developer, with plenty of bromide, which holds hack the sky fog due to twilight or moonlight. Gradually the comet's head and part of the tail appear on the plate, and when the developing is over they show up about live times as large as seen by the naked eye. The h< ad, it is hoped, will show up on the plate about the size of a pea when it is nearest earth. 4. * * As to how large the comet will appear at its best, no astronomer can yet predict. At its last visit, in it was described as measuring, from head to tip of tail, a third of the distance from the horizon to the zenith or point of the sky directly overhead, while at the previous visitation, in 175!>, it is recorded to have covered more than half this distance between horizon and zenith. This means so many million miles through tne heavens mat astronomers hate to think of it. Suva bodies seem to have gathered more material before one visit to our neighborhood than before another, ami their spun of the heavenly dome cannot be predicted until they spread to their maximum, as this comet will d<> May 21. As to how its head will compare on that date with the stars which we already know, it is difficult to predict. Some of the government astronomers teli ino that they expect it to be brighter than Sirius, the brightest star of the heavens, wuile others merely say it w'll be brighter than the comet of the past winter, and still others will make ro prediction whatever. It will be compared with all sorts of famihar objects within the next tow weeks.

Tiii- telescope is aimed at the westernsky, where the comet now appears,and earth is, as always, rolling us back- cward toward the east, which makes the r:stars in the nest appear to he falling, siThus if you look through a fixed tele- uscope the heavenly bodies arc seen to ppass duwnwa d across its field in a con- etinttal procession. But this telescope lfjattached to a clock-work motor which ''drops it as fast ai earth raises it above astar, and so exact is the adjustment that tlthe star's image can he kept in the ten- uter of the eyepiece. In other words, thebig tube is timed to follow the stars. tlBut cite comet Is a law unto Itself and p
