GERMAN OBSERVATIONS.
(Received May 20th, 12.15 a.m.) BERLIN, May 19. Tho German newspapers are publishing columns of observatory reports on the comet. The latest Berlin calculation was to the effect that the earth entered the tail at 4.22 a.m. on thc 19th, and passed out at 5.22. German scientists did not anticipate any electrical storms. Extensive arrangements were made for chemical observations while the earth was enveloped by the tail. The Royal Prussian Meteorological Observatory at Lindenberg arranged for the ascent of balloons, all manned by competent observers, and provided with chemical, electrical, and meteorological apparatus.
