I am very glad to learn that our somewhat meagre supply of comets has been augmented by the recent discovery of a new one by an astronomer in the Transvaal. What bothers me, though, is: how does the discoveror know its a Dew comet? How does he know it isn't an old one done up, or u complete forgery? I know what the books say.

They tell you that the orbits of all the known comets have been carefully calcu lated, and that the time and place of the re-appearance of them are known to the oxset minute and yard. Consequently if a comet is observed bimbling round the heavens at any other time or place it must ipso facto be a new comet. But I am not satisfiod. Supposing in the course of its journey through space a coniet slipped off its orbit in a fog? Supposing it lost its speed and had to become a fixed star?

I think the only satisfactory mothod of dealing with the diffi- culty is to borrow a hint from the owners of racing pigeons' and attach a zinc identify-disc to the tail of every comet. Then if one we could easily decide whether suddenly popped us unexpectedly it was 1 brand-new one merely an old one gone wrong.
