Comet Seen the West A New One Called Comet A 1910.

Many residents of Rensselaer and vicinity have seen a small comet during clear evenings for several days past, and have thought it to be Halley’s great comet. This, however, is not the case, as the Halley comet will not be visible until about the first of April or a little later. The new comet is called Comet A 1910. It is probably recoding and will be visible to the naked eye only a few more evenings and not as brightly as it shown Tuesday evening. Halley’s comet is to be visible just at sun rise in the east. The study of comets would prove very interesting at this time and an article about them may be printed in an early issue of the Republican.
