Campbell of the | Lick Observatory: The faint periodic comet discovered by Pro- fessor Brooks of Geneva, N. Y., in 189, ap- peared again in 1886, and its second return was predicted for this vear. Dr. Aitken found this morning with the 36-inch equatorial, bout five minutes of arc from its predicted place. It s of the fourteenth magnitude and therefore requires a telescope 12 inches or more in_diameter to see it. The new star discovered by Turner of Oxford in the constellation Gemini last March was systematically observed here and elsewhere | until in May, when the sun reached the part of the sky in which it is situated. The sun having now passed to the eastward sufficlently to permit observations to be resumed, Dr. Curtis reobserved the star this morning and found it to be of the tent magnitude. The spectroscoplc observations made in the spring showed that the spectrum of the star was gradually changing and assuming the character of the spectrum of & nebula. This morning’s observations show that the change to the nebula state is complete. P s S 20D 0 2 S NOTICE Holders of G. A R. Tickets.

Prepare to Leave Chicago. atch to The Call, CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—Rand, McNally & Co., one of the largest publishing houses in the country, employing more than 1000 people, is preparing to move its two big plants from Chicago at once to escape labor troubles. For some time the com- pany has had several sites under con- templation, one In Waukegan meeting with most favor. Officlals of the company said to-day they had decided to get away from Chi- cago. They assert it is impossible to maintain a plant like the Rand-McNally concern in Chicago and meet the demands of unions and compete with the jobbing trade. This decision of the big map publishing company follows in the wake of other publishing houses that have left Chicago for the same reason. Poole Bros., railroad printers, have established a branch house at Holland, Mich., and the W. B. Con- key Company are alSo erecting a branch there.
