THE EXPECTED METEORIC SHOWER
IN NOVEMBER.
from the National Intelliseneer..

From the National Iutelligencer.l
Professor FERGERsoN, of the National
Observatory in this city, is making arrange
ments 70 take scientific observations on the
expected meteoric display in November.
The appearance of shooting stars is quite
common but in the months of August and
November of each year they are seen in
greater numbers, generally about the 10th
of August and 18th Of November. The
great meteoric shower Of 1893 seems to have
drawn the attention Of astronomers more par
ticularly to this subject, and from that time
TO the recurrence Of the meteoric showers in
1888, and up 70 the present day, they have
been endeavoring 20 refer the different phases
and characteristics Of the phenomenon to
known laws, and 10 establish the exact ami
versary Of its appearance
Thus far the more brilliant Of the meteor
ic showers have occurred at intervals Of
thirty-three years that in 1888 was espcci-
ally distinguished for the immense number
of moving meteors TO be seen at once, and
for the remarkable size and splendor Of
many Of them. Among the myriads Of
blazing meteors visible on that occasion, one
was seen at several places on this continent.
Il was recognized by several observers by
its extraordinary size and brilliancy, as well
as by the length Of time its train remained
visible, which was about ten minutes. The
luminous train seemed 20 follow the meteor
in n scrpcntine course, and finally disap-
pearcd IN a vast nebulous cloud, many times
larger than the moon, and wiCh continued TO
move onward with velocity greater than
the clouds.
The meteoric displays Of 1899 and 1888
were characterized by the fall of meteoriies,
which, rushing towards the surface Of the
earth with loud noise, penetrated beneath
it several feet. The periodicity Of these
starry showersis not so definitely ascertained
with regard to the day as the year. They
have occurred 10 greater or less degree in
the months Of August and November, from
1888 TO 1899; but the most remarkable Of
them have appeared on the 18th Of Novem-
Der, or between that day and the 18th
The next appearance Of the meteoric phe-
nomena, therefore, is expected on or about
the 18th Of this month. The observations Of
astronomers have demonstrated that the
shooting stars are more numerous between
midnight and sunrise, and a majority OF
them agree in fixing the radiant point-that
point in which the lines described by the
meteo-s in their fight centre-in Che con-
stellation Leo. limiting the area Of radiation
10 the immediate vicinity Of Regulus, in the
neck Of the Lion. Others assign che Aldiant
point 10 the constellation Orion.

The theory most generally accepted in &C
count for the regular occurrence of meteo-
ric showers is that an unusual aggregation
Of these asteroids exist in the plane which
is reached by the earth at that point of its
orbit, and through which the earth is several
hours in passing, although observations have
not been sufficiently numerous to establish
the exact period of the earth's arrival at
this part of its orbit. During the fight of
meteors in November, 1888, much appre-
hension was manifested from the fear that
one or more Of these asteroids Mould come into
collision Nth the earth; bat hitherto no disas-
trOus consequences hare easued from this grand
celestial display and although there is some
reason 10 betieUe that an epeat Of this kind Is
possible scientific men unite in the opinion
that such a calamity is not within the bounds
of probability.

productive Of no end of misunderstanding
on the part Of EDglishmen.
