Tue August shower of meteors may be expected
to occur on some or all Of the evenings Of August
9th, 10th or 18th. high astronomical authority
has recently estimated the number OF these me-
teors which fall within the atmosphere of the
earth every year at three hundred millions, and
their size from an ounce or less in weight up to
several tons each. The same authority says they
come with velocity Of from sixteen to forty
miles a second, which causes them to be set on
fire by friction as they pass through the earths
atmosphere, and that large proportion of them
thus become dissipated in the form OF vapor be-
fore they reach earth itself.
