The Harvard Observatory yesterday received cables and telegrams verifying the discovery of a comet by Finsler of Bonn, Germany, word of which came first on Saturday in a cable announcing Finsler's discovery as a problematical comet.
A cable confirming it as a comet of the eighth magnitude reached the Observatory from Babelsburg, Germany, on September 19. Yesterday a telegram from the Lick Observatory in California gave Professor Jeffer's confirmation by observation on September 21, declaring it to be of the seventh magnitude, just beyond the range of unaided human vision, but, visible with the aid of a small telescope. If both these observations are correctly reported, the comet seems to be growing brighter.
