Comets Visit Over Odd Mother Whartie 1 Apes Without A Scratch
Reports from West that sun spots were located on Sunday add to curiosity about the great crowd spectacle. The earth passed through the comet tail without suffocation from cyanogen, and observers found daylight hours more interesting than the comet's approach. At Chicago and Williams Bay the Yerkes telescope observations were valued for both negative and positive results. Earth's passage through the tail occurred between 10 and 11 PM, with the comet speed about 46 miles per second and tail breadth near 1,000,000 miles.
