CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor op the Evening Mail. Sir —In the Colonist of this morniog is a paragraph in which the writer writes neither wisely nor well. He ridicules the idea of the comet being visible in the south-east in the morning because he got up at 5 o'clock yesterday morning and could not ccc it, but your correspondent saw it. The writer, in order to prove that he was right and your correspondent was wrong, concludes with a clincher. " I no not wonder," Bays he, " why I could not see it in an easterly direction, # ♦ • * * because it is plainly visible, after dark in a south-westerly direction." I may simply tell him that the comet he enw last night was the same which I saw in a south-easterly direction in tha morning. I might show him the why and the wherefore of this, but enough. I am, &c, W. H. Nelson, August 1, 1874.
