THEDIECK'S SIDNEY, Department OHIO Store Largest Mere antile House in Western Ohio TO SNAP HALLEY'S COMET. Special Camera Set Up to Picture It as It Crosses the Sun.
A special astronomical camera has been set up at Honolulu which is expected to catch some interesting pictures of Halley's comet when on. Stay 18 it completes its 3,100,000,000 trip around the sun and begins a simflar journey all over again. Dr. John H. Brashear, who told recently at Pittsburg of providing the camera, said that on May 18 the head of the comet would cross the solar disk and the phenomenon would be plainly visible in the Pacific ocean.
It will take the comet but fifty-eight minutes, he said, to cross the sun's face, and at that time it will be possible to determine how much solid matter is in the comet's nucleus, for all solid: portions over' ten miles in diameter will be indicated by shadowed spots: against the suu's background. The comet on that day will be only 000 miles away from the earth and: cousequently will be brighter than at any other time. The experiments 1n Honolulu are being made by the American Astronomical and Astrophysical society. Portieres are doubly. ornamental if made to correspond with the furnishings and hangings of- the room.
