COMET BRIGHTER
OBSERVATIONS AT HAMILTON. (Per Press Association — Copyright.) AUCKLAND, July 17. The comet discovered by Mr M. Geddes, of Otago, has been observed on nine evenings during the past fortnight by Mr A'. Bryce, of Hamilton, who states that it has become brighter, although it is ■’still not visible to the naked''eye. From Mr ’Bryce’s observations, the comet’s path’ will take. it very close to Alpha Crucr'is, the bright star forming the foot or south point of the Southern Cross. It will be nearest this star on Sunday, when the two objects will be less than a degree of arc apart, rendering its location comparatively easy even with a, telescope of moderate power. During the coming week the comet will traverse the length of' the South, eru Cross, and at the week-end will be very close to Gamma Crucis, tile nortk point of the constellation. From then onward its path through the constellation of the Centaur will follow fairly closely that of the comet discovered last April. I
