The NEXT MErEoRs.-The public interest excited
by the great meteor of the Goth ut., will be likely
to be reawakened, in a measure, by the recurrence
of another and more remarkable season of such
displays which is at hand. Shooting stars are
seen every month of the year, but there are some
half dozen periods during which they are very
abundant. These are April 1925, July 17-2G-du-
ring which the late meteor appeared-August Oil,
Oct 1918, Nov. 12-l4, Nov. 27-29, Dec 6l2. Jan
uary is mentioned as having frequently brilliant
displays, but the day is not stationary. The Au-
gust epoch seems to have been the richest of late
years. 1t hardly ever fails to bring very album
dant harvest of meteors.
The track of the great of July is being gradu.
ally traced out Detroit, Michigan, was the arthest
point West at which it was first noticed according
to the Cambridge astronomers. 1t, however, ap-
peared still farther West, we learn from cor
respondent of the Albany Journal, of the End inst,
writing from Sycamore, De Kalb county, Illinois,
who describes it as ga shooting STAR crossing about
one-half of the Southern sky, from West to East
moving slowly, and leaving large track like a
comet" Sycamore is within hundred miles of
the Mississippi river, and no doubt further nforma-
tion from the West will prove that this ferv trav
eler in the armament first struck the earths orbit
on or the Pacific coast. Its fight has already
been traced three hundred miles eastward to the
Atlantic Ocean, and ships vet to come in will prob
ably give us further accounts of its course

RAILROAD ACCIDENr-ONE MAN KILLED.-A shock
ing accident occurred Friday morning on the
Long Island Railroad, as the train was emerging
from the cut on the descending grade between East
New York and Bedford. A COW had lain down on
the track, and was not seen by the engineer until
it was impossible to stop the train. As it pressed
over the body of the animal, the locomotive, bag
gage and milk cars, and one of the passenger cars,
were turned off the track and overthrown. The
locomotive turned "bOttom up" and one of
the fremen, named James Lynch, was crushed to
death beneath it. The engineer and conductor
were also badly injured. Considering the nature
of the accident, it is quite wonderful that the re-
suit was not more tragical.
