COMETS AND MEIEORS.

Professor Daniel KirkwoOd has an interesting
article in the last number of Science, in which he
traces the connection between the first comet of
1861 and the meteor showers of April 20---the
Lyriads. This comet was discovered by
Thatcher on April 4. TWAS visible to the naked
eye and had q tail three degrees long. It's
period Is 41525 years, and its orbit intersecis
that of the earths in longitude 2100, the point
passed by the earth ut the epoch OF tho great
meteorlc shower OK April 20, 1903. From the
tScS Professor thinks that
space before entering the solar domain that
the orbits were transformed into ellipses by
planetary perturbations and that this transfer.

genius, was passionate admrer of Carlyle, and at
one time went tour Of the country ecturinR on
Carlyle and his writings. His professional engage

bold to cali the sage at his house In Chelsea On
ringing the bell, Carlyle himself came TO the door.
"Who ara your be said. in the gruff, abrupt way

IL is but fair to two such distinguished men to add
that Carlyle was thus rude through ignorance Of the
worth aud genius Of his visitor. and though for
many q long day sfterward the name Of Thomas
Carlyle much less lecture on him, never crossed
Gilhlan's lips the matter subsequently settled
through Che intervention of friends, and the authors
OF "Sartor Resartusn and "Ths Bonds OF the
Bible became ultimately the best OF friends.

He WOuItI Exeep Uu,


 The late lamented Lveryman Ladd, of Wolcottville, was noted for striking pecu- iarity. He almost invariably offered eau tion against fast driving to whomsoever he let horse. No matter who the party was, no sooner was the animal hitched up than MT. Ladd would put in an appearance, with the remark, 'ENow, go easy; don't drive. fast; bring her in dry" On one occasion an Irish- man applied for team to attend funeral MT. Ladd brought out the worst. looking nag in Wolcottville, and his man harnessed up while Pat stood by in amazement and full of wonder as to whether the animal had really strength enough left to carry him to the graveyard. When the harnessing was com- pleted MT. Ladd was true to himself and the horse, and came forward, batting the animal gently as usual and uttering his stereotyped refrain: '.Now, go easy don't drive fast i; bring her in dry. Pat was by this time ''all aboard" with the ribbons in his hands and looking very solemn. ''On right, Misther Ladd,'' said he, 'Tll keep up wid de corpse if have to kick the d-d haste every shtip of the way !''- Waterbury Anerican.
