4 METEoRIC SHOWER EXPECTED.
Many of our readers well remember the
great meteoric shower Of November, 1888,
which was visible throughout North
America. These meteoric showers are
said by as ;ronomers to be periodical re-
turning at intervals Of about 33 years.
Professor Newton, of Yale College, who
has devoted much time to the investisa-
ton Of the subject, states that similar
phenomenon will probably occur about,
the 18th OF I4th Of November next, and
so confjeTt are astronomers generally
that ii will theu appear, that extensive
preparations are being made by scientific
men in Europe to observe it But thir-
teen appearances of meteoric showers are
recorded since the year 903.
