Many of our readers will remember the
great meteroic shower of November, 1888,
which was visible through North America.
These meteroic showers are said by as
tronomers to be periodical, returning at
intervals of about thirty-three years. Pro-
fessor Newton, of Yale Collage, who has
devoted much time to the investigation of
the subject, states that similar phenome-
non will probably occur about the 18th or
i4th of November next, and so confident
are astronomers that it will then appear,
that extensive preparations are being made
by scientific men in Europe to observe it
But thirteen neteoric showers are record
ed since the year 500.
