HALLEY'S COMET.
THE EARTH IN DANGER. AUSTRALIAN ASTRONOMER'S IDEAS. By Cable —Press Association—Copyright. Received May 4, 0.20 a.m. Sydney, Last Night. Mr. John Tebbutt, astronomer, of Windsor, estimates that the tail of Halley's comet measures ten million miles, and says that it is very probable that the visible part of the tail will extend as far as the earth on the 19th. The earth, even if it is not enveloped, will have a very narrow escape. He asks observers to record their experiences regarding atmospheric, meteoric, and electrical phenomena on that date.
