were cold. This result Of theory has
tbcen oTperimentallg proved by Sir
William Thomson, who found that a
thermometer placed in front Of a rap
idly moving body rose one degree
when The body moved through the air
at the rate Of 125 feet per second.
With higher velocities, the increase Of
temperature was proportionate to the
square Of the velocity. 7
This result is in exact accordance with
The mechanical theory Of heat, TO
find the effective temperature to which
IA meteoroid is exposed in moving
through our atmosphere, we divide its
velocity in feet per second by 125; the
square of the quotient will give the
temperature ia degrees. Let us apply
this principle to the case of the meteo-
roids. The earth moves iii its orbit at
the rate Of $4,000 feet per second; and
lie it met a meteoroid at rest, our
atmosphere would strike il with this
velocity. by the rule we have given
for the rise Of temperature the meteor
old would practically encounter q tenn
perature of nearly 100000 degrees.
This is many times any temperature
ever produced by artificial means. If,
as will be commonly the case, the met
eoroid is moving to meet the earth, the
velocity and therefore the potential
temperature will bohigber. we know
that the meteoroids which produce the.
November showers move in q direc-
ton nearly opposite that Of the earth
with q velocity of tWonty-siX miles per
second, SO that the relative velocity
with which the meteoroids meet curl
atmosphere is forty-four miles per sec
ond. by the rule we have given this
velocity corresponds to a temperature
of between three and four million de-
grees. w e do dot mean that the me-
teoEoiJg are generally heated ap to this
temperature, but chat the air acts upon
them as if it were heated up to the
point mentioned; that is, il burns orI
volatiliza8 chem in less than a second
with an enormous evolution of light
and heat, just as q furnace would I'LL
heated to a temperature of 5000, 900 de- |
grees. 1t is not ut all necessary thatI
the body should be combustible; thel
light and heat Of ordinary burning are
nothing at all compared with the de-
Migration which such a temperature
would cause by acting on the hardest
known body : < And as the
whole operation is over In a8econd, we
may imagine how intense She light

SHOOTING STARS.
WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW q

WHAT THEY ARE AND HOW THEIR
BRILLIAEcT is CAUSED.
From the recent work on popular
Astronomy" by Professor Simon New
comb, of the Naval Observatory at
Washington, we take the following ex-
PLANTATION Of the phenomenon Of shoot
ing stars 50 often observed in the
heavens:
ut is now universally conceded that
the celestial spaces are crowded with
.innumerable minute bodies moving
around the SUN in every possible kind
.of orbit. of the nature of
tae minutar bodies Of this class moth
ing is certainly known. But what
ever they may be, the earth is con
.stantly encountering them in its mo-
ton around the sun. They are barn-
ed by passing through the upper re-
.gions Of our atmosphere, and The
shooting star is simply the light Of
.tha5 burning. The question
which may be asked at this stage is
Why are these bodies burned? Espec-
Tally how can they burn SO suddenly
and with 50 intense a light as to be
visible hundreds Of miles away ,
These questions were the stumbling
block Of Investigators until thew were
answered, clearly and conclusivelv. nv
the discovery Of the mechanical theory
Of heat It is now established that
heat is only a certain form of motion
that hot air differs from cold air onlv
IN amoTe rapid vibration Of its mole
cules, and that II communicates its
heat to other bodies simply by ssrik-
ing them with it's molecules, and thus
setting their molecules Ia vibration.
Consequently; If q body moves rapidly
through the air, the impact Of the air
upon it ought to heat it, just as warm
air would, even though the.air itself

I QUESTIONS A9sw ErED Bv STATE So
PERETEzpEHT NJ. G. WHITFoRp.
Question Must an outgoing Dis
trict Treasurer carry the books, papers
and funds to the new one?
Answer new one should do
what is necessary to put himself ii 20
session Of the Office, file his bond and
obtain the books, etc. The law merely
requires the old one to "hand over"
these things, and lie cannot be coma
planned Of for any neglect unless he ro-
fuses to deliver them when called for
Question Does a Treasurer Tacate
his Office If he neglects To obtain the
books, ETC.?
Answer No, but he is subject tore
.moYal for any gross neglect Of duty.
Questi0n-Our Director ia very OBJ
.n0xious to the district for his doings
and refusal to do. Can we declare his
office vacant, and have another. one APP
pointed?
AnsWer-NO, but you cam lay y0nr
complaint before the County Judge
and ask him to remove the officer.
Question a Treasurer obliged TO
pay for wood not furnished according
TO contract?
Answer-Ii q contract has been
made lawfully by the board, and the
wood is accepted by the other two
members, that would usually be sufic-
lent. TT the Treasurer lis certain that
there is gross dishonesty in the trans
action, and that he can show 1t, he
may refuse to pay tile order.
Question What iS to be done with
the constitutions" sent to school dis
tricts?
Answer They are for advanced
scholars, to be used as textbooks; the
teacher should regulate the use, il there
are not enough to furnish one to each
pupil reciting on the subject. They
may be put IN the district library, il
there is one, when school is not in SEES
sion, and should be taken care Of like
other district property. (Section 48)
Question: Have foreign pupils a
right to the use OF the textbooks own
ed by the district, If other pupils have
free use?
Answer must be SO held. They
are admitted to the privileges Of the
school. (&oction 10, subsection l19I
If books are furnished by the district
to the pupils, it is TO ali. The tuition
Zee may reasonably be o little higher i'm
such schools, Or the board may make q
special arrangement th&o such pupils
furnish their own books.
Question Our District Clerk went
off, to be gone some months, but ap-
pointed his mother to act in his place.
Can this be considered legal?
Answer-It cannot. She might per
form certasn specific acts for him, by
bis direction, but cannot legally take
his place as Clerk, by his appointment.
Question: person teaches month
with no certificate; is there any lawful
way to pay her?
Answer The law intends to absO-I
lutely prevent the employment of I'M
qualified teachers, and their payment
ont OF any public funds. Section ~,
by chapter 101, Laws Of 1872, /
and comments, and Sections SO, 1861
and 134) If o teacher who has no
certificate has been employed. let her

REMARKABLE SUCCESS

The success Of the leading
literary paper Of the West. The
Chicago Ledger, is truly remark
able. Since its introduction to the
reading public, six years ago, the
Ledger has steadily advanced in
favor, and is now acknowledged
second to no paper of the kind in
the country. It's circulation is
national, and has been obtained
through the efforts Of its publishers
to produce a paper of high moral
character, and at the same time
sell it at a price consistent with the
present hard times. That they
have succeeded, and well, too, the
thousands Of readers Of the
Ledger scattered from Maine to
Texas and from Oregon to Florida
will scar testimony. The Chicago
Ledger is a large forty-eight
column weekly paper, which con-
tains stories both complete 4 con
tinued, in each number, written by
the best authors of the day. and a
great variety Of information in-
teresting to every one. The sub
scription price Of The Ledger is
only 81. so per year, postage paid,
and it is equal in every particular
to other papers Of the same char
acter which sell for s5 a year.
Three copies Of this valuable
paper will be sent to any one who
sends 10 cents and their address
to the Ledger, Chicago, III.
