COMET VISIBLE TO THE EYE

Look to the Southwest Horizon Just After Sunset New York, May 28. —A new comet which is flying through space toward the sun at the rate of many million miles a minute may be seen with the naked eye just after sunset any evening on the southwest horizon, according to statements by Edward Fairfax Naulty, an astronomer. Because of the direction of its flight and the relative position of the earth, Its head is not visible. Its tail, which is several million miles long, can be clearly seen.
