One of the oldest theories and the one that
is, perhaps most consistent with known facts
and laws, is that meteorites are bodies NOV
ing round the sun, which occasionally enter
our atmosphere, and are either frittered into
dust or reach the earth as aerolites. In 9TH
er words, they are abnormally large fragments
of comets. Small fragments are dissipated
in the higher regions Of the air by the intense
heat produced by friction, and give rise to the
phenomenon Of shooting stars. Larger pieces
appear as fire balls, and very large masses
fall through the air in state of combustion,
which il not, however, sufficiently intense to
consume their volume before reaching the
ground. This idea of a celestial origin seems
to have originated among the Greeks Plutarch
says: Failing stars are, according to the
opinion of some physicists, not eruptions of
the ethereal fire extinguished in the air i'm
mediately after its ignition, nor yet an in
flammatory combustion of the air, which is
dissolved in large quantities in the upper re-
gions Of space but these meteors are rather
fall of celestial bodies, which, in consequence
OF certain intermission in the rotatory force,
and by the impulse Of some irregular move
ment have been hurled down not only to the
inhabited portions of the EARTH but also be-
yond it into the great ocean, where we can
not find them" The vie VS. of Diogenes of
Apollonia are expressed thus ''Stars that are
invisible, and consequently have no name,
move in space together with those that are
visible. These invisible stars frequently fall
TO the earth and are extinguished, as the
stony star which fell burning at Egos
Potamos" Ohladni, as the result of his in
vestigations, advanced the opinion that me-
teors are bodies moving in space, being eth
er accumulations of matter as originally Great
ed, or fragments separated from a larger
mass of similar nature. Sir H. Davy Of
fered the same explanation in the "Philo-
sophical Transactions" for 1917. These views
or rather modification of them suited to our
increased knowledge of cosmical ways and
means, have their modern advocate in Prof

ANOrweeian village.

Vossevangen is little farming hamlet on
the west shore of beautiful lake. The reg
ion is one of the best agricultural districts in
Western Norway the 'Vos" farmers are
held to be fortunate and well to do, and their
butter and cheese always bring high prices
in market.
AS we drove into the village we met the
peasants going home from church the wo-
men in short green or black gowns, with gay
jackets and white handkerchiefs made into
flying -buttress sort of head-dress on their
heads the men with knee -breeches, short
vests, and jackets thick trimmed with silver
buttons. Every man bowed, and every wo-
man courtesed as we passed. To pass any
human being on the highway without sign
or token of greeting would be considered in
Norway the height of i'll manners any child
seen to do itwould be sharply reproved. Prob
ably few things would astonish the rural Nor
wegan more than to be told that among the
highly civilized it is considered a mark of
good breeding, if you chance to meet fell
low-man on the highway, to go by him with
no more recognition of his presence than you
would give to a tree or a stone wall.
1t is an odd thing that man should be
keeping the Vossevangen Hotel to day who
served in Americas civil war, was for two
years in one of the New York regiments, and
saw good deal of active service. He was
called Dack 10 Norway Dy the deatn OF MS
father, which made it necessary for him to
take charge of the family estate in Vosse-
vangen. He has married Vossevangen
woman, and is likely to end his days there,
but he bankers for Chicago and always will.
He keeps fairly good little hotel on the
shores OF the lake, with a row of willow trees
in front; dwarf apple-trees, gooseberry and
currant bushes, and thickets of rhubarb in
his front yard; roses, too, besides larkspur
and phlox, but the rhubarb has the place of
honor. The dining-room and the parlor
were like those at Eide, adorned with ivies
and towering plants oleanders in the win
dows, and potted carnations on the table. In
one corner of the dining-room was a large
round table covered with old silver for sale
tanlrards, chains, belts, buttons, coins, rings,
buckles, brooches, ornaments of all kinds
hundreds of dollars worth of things. There
they lay, day and night, open to all who
came and they had done this, the landlady
said for years, and not single article had
ever been stolen from which It is plain that
not only is the Norwegian honest himself,
there must be a contagion in his honesty,
which spreads it to all travellers in his coun-
try.-H H. in July Atlantic.

Mr.. Editor: 1t has become a common
practice, especially among those living in
cities, OF going into the country to spend a
portion of the hot days of summer among
their friends, and, as the saying is, have a
good time generally That is all well enough
unless it is carried too far by staying SO long
and causing so much work to wait upon them
as to make those whom they visit twice glad.
But surely no one that is human will object
to seeing his friends and will try to make it
pleasant for them for a reasonable length of
time, say for one week or SO but, ON the
other hand, let those who go for a visit be
human also, and remember that it is the
busiest part of the year with the farmer, and
those doing work in the house have enough
to do without being overburdened with visit
ors, as is often the case, on account of some
old acquaintance, or cousin or uncle or aunt.
For surely one week is enough for any one to
stay in one place. and then, to see one or
more arrive with monumental trunk large
enough for tenement packed full of cloth
ing, one may as well make up his mind that
he has q summers job on his hands if he
is able to live through it. We have often
seen hints of this kind thrown out in the pa
pers, but many seem to think it was not in
tended for them and surely it is not, for on
ly those who intend going to stay long enough
to wear out those who have the job of wait
ing upon them, and when they come TO leave
will say ''Well, Aunty, we have had good
time and hope to come again another sum
mer and have another just as good" Now
what we have to say is, go and stay long
enough to make a good visit and then go
home or somewhere else, so that your friends
will not think you will never come again, as
the prospect is you will never leave.-COr.

are there in their play costumes and painted

trebled-two or three manage to pass up wa
ter from the stage to the Presidents box, 9TH

In the midst of all this the Presidents
guard, with others suddenly drawn to the
scene, burst in, some two hundred altogeth-

tiers, especially the upper ones, infamed
with fury, literally charged the audience with

with terrible oaths, "Clear out! clear OUT"

THE CosT OF VISIT TO EUROPE -Proba-
bly, few men live who do not hope some day
to see Europe but they think it cannot be till
the golden summer when we are all to get rich
But it is not half so expensive an undertaking
as most people think. The Traveller says ma
ny of the most interesting cities can be seen
comfortably and intelligently for $500, and
it gives the details of one such trip. In the
first place the ocean passage, out and home,
need not cost more than 500, by buying a
round trip ticket, unless the voyager cares
more for fashion than comfort. In the same
way the traveller eau save money on the other
side and journey as pleasantly by taking sec
Ond-class railway carriages The journey
laid down by the Traveller, and which includes
fares between the points, is as follows, the
places to be visited in this order London,
six days, $50 Antwerp, eday, $40 Ghent
and Bruges, one day, $l5 Brussels, two
days, SIS; Paris, six days, $780, Rouen, one
day, $40; Dieppe, one day, $40; Southamp-
ton, one day, $40. This leaves $50 for ex-
tras and expenses to and from Liverpool, and
includes all needful outlay, even servants
fees at the rate they are given by Europeans
themselves. But of course it allows nothing
for costly presents or high priced wines, and
it presupposes that very little baggage will
be taken. In fact, little is needed the
changes in weather are not so great in Eu-
rope as here, so that the same changes of
clothing are not needed. A small trunk is
all-suffcient, and many a man has travelled
comfortably with handbag, and saved port
ers' fees by it, too. The Travellers figures
seem small, but the trip can doubtless be ca
silly made for that, while an economical man
who is SO fortunate as to get posted bit be-
fore starting can, by taking third-class car
riages and putting up in cheap hotels little
out of the way, see the same places for even
less
