HALLEY'S COMET
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright
(Received January 9, 6 p.hi.) LONDON, January 8.
■ The authorities at Greenwich Observatory estimate that Halley's comet will make the transit of the sun on May 19th. It will be visible in Australia and Asia, but not in Europe. Though it is improbable that, the comet will be of sufficient density •to be seen silhouetted on the sun's disc, a spectroscope or a speotroheliograph may detect its presance.
