RE-DISCOVERED

COMET.

WILL 1925 BREAK THE RECORD?

In 1813 the late M. Faye; of tho Paris Observatory, discovered a comet the period of revolution. round the sun of which was found to be seven and a half yours. Faye's Comot, as it was called, [punctually made its reappearance overy seven and a half yours until the spring of 1896. Its noxt in tho appearance was duo autumn of 1903, but nothing was scon of it, which was attributed to the fact, pointed out by Dr. Strongron, that after its appear- ance in 1896 it passed close to the big planet Jupiter, the attact- ion of which considerably chang ed its previous orbit, so much indeed that its visit to the earth in 1903 took place in the summer instead of the autumn, and it slipped past unobserved because no one was then looking for it.

of

The new orbit deduced by Dr. Stromgren showed that it should turn up again at the end of 1910, and in November of that year it was rediscovered by an Italian astronomer at Toramo, thus con- firming Dr. Stromgren's theory concerning the influenco Jupiter. In 1918, when it was

ominent SOTIO mathematicians re-calculated its elements in the hope of tracking it down this year. One of those why tackled the problem with. special reference to the Jupiter perturbations, was Mr. Cripps, a member of the British As- tronomical Assccation, and it is very creditable to his mathom- atical skill that Dr. Baudo, of the Hamburg Observatory, has just succeeded in rediscovering the comet almost in the exact place indicated by Mr. Cripps. Thin region of the sky through which it has been passing has been several times photographed at Hamburg this your, and since its rediscovery those plates have, been examined, and the comet has boon found on one takon as early as August 20,
