Meteoric stones sometimes fall in one
or two masses, and at other times in a
large number of fragments-thousands
perhaps-which arc scattered over acres
or even miles Of territory, while on some
occasions the fall takes the form Of
showers of fine dust. The quantity of
mineral matter thus falling is often very
considerable. In 1911 a shower of many
hundred stones occurred in Crema, one
Of the pieces weighing 260 pounds and
another 120. On the west coast Of
Greenland were found the largest un-
broken masses OH record, and the largest
specimen, weighing IS tons, is now in
the Royal Academy of Stockholm. A
well-foundod estimate places the number
of aerolites which reach the earth am
nnally at 5000 at least. 1t is probable
that in early geological ages the fall was
much greater than how. 1t has continued
year after year through a vast lapse of
time, furnishing good grounds for the
extending belief that the earth has
derived material additions to its sub
stance from the accumulation of meteoric
| matter.
Trans;ts of Venus across the face of
! the sun have been employed by astrono-
| mers to determine the SUMS distance
| from the earth. These transits recur at
! alternate intervals Of 8 and 1917 and 5
| and 1861 years. The tr:lnsits of 1851.
| 1863 and 1874 were observed with great
| care from various parts of the world.
| The transit of 1874 especially was IL
matter of great interest and attention, as
it was hoped that the errors from
previous observations might be corrected
Observing parties were sent out by many
| countries, and improved means OF iuves-
Fundamentally photography-were
employed. Results have not yet been
given III full, but as nearly us can at
present be Judged the distance of the
sun is about 92,000,O00 miles. The next
transit Of Venus will occur Deccmber6 Of
the present year, and will be the last for
nearly century and q quarter. The
occurrence of this phenomenon will fo.m
the astronomical event of the year.
Already observing expeditions are being
organized in various parts of the world,
and localities for observing stations are
being selected. Bad weather interferetl
seriously in 1874, and stations will be
chosen with special reference to the
probability of clear weather.

congregate here in great numbers, and
find rest and refreshment in the delights

How faithfully has it been connected with
all Of England's story! What memories

trasted past. Visions of royal splendor
and pageantry, of gay tournaments and
wedding feasts; visions Of captive kings
in weary exile, and reverend bishops re-
fusing to compromise conscience anC
truth; visions of brave men and gentle
women, aye, Of little children, too, who
have met death within these grim anf
