THE GREAT METEOR.

ACCOUNTS FROM DIFFERENT POINTS OF ITS
MOVEMENT AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
AND MISCONCEPTIONS OF ITS POSITION.
1t Is believed by astronomers that space between
the earth and the great stellar groups is filed with
small of matter which either the debris o.
exploded planets a2gregatons Of substances which
derived from combinations of the elementary
gases that constitute the foundation Of everything in
nature. The position Of these errant chunks of the
stars that shed the light Of other nights In the
vast expanse OF space is stated to be due TO
the counerpoise Of attraction exercised by the various
planetary bodies other and all that inter-
between them. II is, therefore, matter Of easy
comprehension to determine the nature Of what
termed meteors acrontcs aud shooting stars which
may be any clear night flashing through tho
start vault Of the heavens like fiery messengers pass
lag from planet to planet
When these detached masses pass through our
atmosphere-whch by the way, is expanded during
the summer heat to greater elevation than in winter
tme--the friction OF the air aone is sufficient to
deveope intense heat and rapid combustion in tho
flying matter, and We consequently their courses
marked at night by streaks OF FIRE across the sky.
When tho is small and the atmosphere
through which 1t passes is dense combustion
is the rapid, and the matter becomes
when the volume is large falling toward the
carth's surface under the influence OF gravitation IL
passes with accelerated velocity through strata Of
air Of different denses, and the heat being thus rap
idly increased explosion is the result which is
frequently accompanied by the phenomenon Of coored
lights, due solely 10 the combustion OF the various
mineral constituents OF the aeroite.
Aerolitcs sometimes OF great magnitude. and
travel with extraordinary velocity One which passed
within twenty five miles OF the earth estimated to
weigh GOO TONS and eed The of twenty
miles per second.
On tho morning OF the 18th OF November, 1899,
thousands OF shooting stars mixed with large neteors
illuminated the heavens many hours the whole
Continent Of America from Brazil to Labrador and
oven extended to Europe. In 1891 and 1882, during
the night of November lS prodigIous mullitudcs OF
shooting stars and meteortcs fell In the Red sea- in

shaking them frequently to prevent
sprouts from growing. Remarks-The
at this season Of the year is just what
thousands of farmers aud others need TO
know. We have sprouted potatoes in
this way for many years. Our plan
for keeping table potatoes from April
TO July Is 20 put about bushel in each
barrel and have one extra empty barrel.
About once week begin ut one end Of
the row and pour the potatoes from the
first barrel into the empty one. and the
aud the next into that, aud so on till
the potatoes have all been changed into
different barrel. As - rolling stone
gathers no moss. SO n moving potatoe
makes no sprouts. This method will
not only save much dissgreeable labor.
but also keep the potatoes i'll much bet

The growth of sprouts will destroy the
value of the potato in short time.
