MeteOrs.
A fall of meteors, more or less extensive In num-
Der as the case may be, takes place annually from
the fifteenth to the twentieth of November-the
present time. The greatest fall of meteors ever
known in 1883. Upon that occasion the en-
tire heavens appeared to be blaze of light, and
the mcteors shot wildly through the skv, leaving
blood red trains behind them. In 1866 there was
another grand display, and no doubt many of our
readers will remember the beautiful appearance
Of the heavens upon November evening of that
year. Many different ideas have been advanced as
TO the probable cause of this beautiful and wonder
full phenomenon, but it still remains to be fully and
satisfactorily explained. One theory is that the
meteors are the product of comets gradual disso-
luton. But of course there is not much of GER
isinty in this idea; though to many it appears to
be very probable one. But whatever is the
cause of these brilliant displays, we are all a.
perfect liberty to witness them when they make
their appearance, to drink in the beauty of Of
natures grandest spectacles-to behold the won
derful workings Of the Creator.
