In a few Weeks it faded from, the sky. only to return in 1194 and 619 B. C. The year that Julius Caesar died—44 B. C.—it came again, returning in 531 and 1106 A. D. The last time it was seen was in 1681. when Sir Isaac Newton beheld it and discovered that comets. are kept in their orbits by the sun. the same as the earth and the other planets. Over two and a ‘quarter _centuries have now passed since the comet dis- appeared. ‘Even if it has been travel mg no more rapidly than the earth goes around the sun its enormous bulk has been shooting through space at the rate of about 1,500,000 miles a day.
