Taa Ap pnoAOHiNa Comet. The
comet now muking its way towards
the earth itt known as Jiielu s comet,
and lias on several occusions puwsoil
near enough to the earth to be seen.
Ihe elements 01 its orbit and the pa
riod of its reo!ution around the sun
were calculated by M- Biela in 1826
The putt) ot this comet passes very
near tbat of the earth so near that
the matter of the comet includes a
rart of the earth's crbit at one time,
t was predicted that this comet would
collide with the earth in 1832, and
that our planot would be blotted out
of -the solar system, but the comet
crossed our oibit on the 29 ih day of
ot October, and the earth did not ar
rive at the point where the collision
was to have occurred until 32 days
after Just 52 millions of miles behind
time. This comet makes its revolu
tion around tbo sun in about six and
throe-fourths years. It may now be
seen with tbo aid of an ordinary glass,
and will be visiblo to the naked eye
in a short lime. On the first of No
vember it will, on its way to its peri.
Iielion, approach the bright star Mar
hub, (Alpha Paa,) one of the four
bright stars that form the equure of
Pegasus. Then pursuing a southerly
course, it will cross the Celestial equa
tor about the midJle of December,
cross its old path of 1846, near where
it separated into two comets, and the
end of February, its presumed nearest
approach, its distance from the earth
will bo something less than twenty
millions of miles. The above siato
inents are lounde 1 on scientific author1
ity. Those visitors have over been a
terror to the superstitious, and their
approach has been looked upon as a
sign ot war, postilenco and famine. It
is held by some that these bodies even
tually lull into the sun and become a
part of that luminary. Whence they
come and their destination, as well as
the nature of their physical organiza
tions and their uses, are inquiries
which surpass the limited power of
tbo human mind. Time and science
may in the future unyeil the mystery
in which these strange bodies are en
veloped. New Mincral. A new mineral of
load has been disnovored in Chili, con
taining ton per cont of iodine. Iodine
has lately became very valuable, on
account of its extensive use in photo
graphy, and of the discovery, by Dr.
lloffman, of a new dye, having this
element amongst its constituents. It
Is said that one cargo of this now min
eral will represent a fortune. As a
further illustration of tho progress
that mining, advonture is making in
Southern Amoricu, a mine of bismuth
has ruconlly boon oponed in Bolivia,
about two-thirds of tho way up the
highest of ail the peaks of the An
desthe Iljampu Mountain. Bismuth,
has lately insreused in value; and
fifteen thousand feet above the level
of tho ocean, only slightly beneath
ibe lino ot perpetual snow, men aro
setting to work to obtain it.
Look to Your Black Sand. The
black sand from placer tailings, some
times, contains goJd (auriferous sul
phurots). It would be well or miners
to ascertain if they have such sand in
their tailings. A mining company at
North Sum J uan, Nevada oounty, are
saving the black sand, having ascer
tained that it contains about halt tho
gold in their claim. They have now
put up pans lor grinding and amalga
mation the sand, and expect to save
all the gold.
