The Meteors Of the Dog Days.

The August metcors made u fnc display
this year, and attracted much attention.
even from those who ordinarily care little
for star gazing On Thursday and Friday
nights the meteors fell probably at the
rate Of hundred in an hour. Many were
so small that they seemed, as they darted
across the sky, to be mere lines cf light.
A large number left phosphorcsccnt trails
which were seen to curl, break up, and
gradually fade several seconds after the
meteors han disappeared. One, seen in
the eastern heavens at ten o'clock on
Thursday night, appears to have been of
extraordinary size and briliancy. 1t is
described as looking as large as the full
moon on the horizon. II was heart shap-
ed, and the broader end appeared to
spread out into flames, in which blue and
red hues were conspicuous. 1t seemed to
fall straight downward, but this was un-
questionably an effect of perspective. No
explosion was Witnessed and no noise
heard.
No one who watched the mcteors long
could fail to notice how their paths radiat-
cd from "A common centre in the constelln-
ton Perseus- During the five days that
the earth occupies in traversing the meteor
stream, which is IN some places about 81
900, 900 miles broad, the number of these
bodies that entered our atmosphere, aud
were consumed by the intense heat deve-
loped by friction against the particles of
the air, must have been enormous. If they
were not thus consumed, a shower of me-
teors would be menace to human life.
The amount of debris they leave floating
in the air, in the shape of meteoric dust
and other products of combustion, is COM
paratlvely insignificant, and yet yet not too
small to be perceptible. Meteoric dust is
continually finding its way slowly down to
the earths surface and it is found even in
the ooze of the sea bottom. A plate, coat
ed with some sticky substance, and expos
ed to the air at considerable elevation,
and in localities where ordinary dust is not
likely to be found, will collect particles of
meteoric iron, especially after the earth has
puSsCu tuiouSh SllCdii iiNC thol vi 'hO
August or November meteors.
1t is fact of great interest that mcteors
are probably bodies which have been cx-
PEELED from the stars as well as from our
own sun. Thus we are able to put our
hands upon substances which have actually
come from the sidereal universe, and have
been vaporous constituents il the whirling
furnace of n sum- Y Sun.

invitation.

Strangers are invited to visit
Our store, when in Philadel-
phia, to leave packages there,
and to make a convenience
Of it generally. 1t is a handy
place, right by the new City
Hall, at the very center of the
city. 1t answers our purpose
to welcome you, and to pro-
vide for such of your wants
as we can.
The store is about twice
as large as it was two or
three years ago; made so by
digging under ground and
building overhead, and by ex-
tension on Chestnut street.
Parts Of the store are about
as comfortable as any place
can be; and one of the most
comfortable parts is now be-
ing got ready for the rest and
rcircshmcnt of strangers.
One Of the pleasant things
about the store always has
been the fact that you can
walk all over it, either alone
or with a guide, without ever
being asked to buy a thing.
We know v"ry well that most
Of you come to us for a good
share of your supplies; why
should we spoil your visit by
intrud'ng goods upon your
attention, when you come to
Sc the place
But perhaps you are not
coming to Philadelphia just
now. Very well; take a cool
er time. It's cool enough in
the store, when you get here.
You can write for any goods
that you may happen to
want; and get them, proba-
bly,, just as well as if you
were Oh the spot. Any how,
you know, you can return
whatever you get that you
don't like.
We sell more sorts of
things than we can put into
an advertisement. So, what
. ever you want, suppose you
drop us a line. Well help
you if we can.

Remember, they give only one entertain
ment so if you wish an evening of enjoy
ment be sure and attend. The following
taken from the Serantdn Daily Times gives
short description of their acting;
The entertainment given in Music Hall
last evening by the Agnes Villa Company
was patronized by the people of Pittston
better than any other dramatic perform
ance given here this season; in fact, the
hall was almost packed to such an extent
as to be uncomfortable, The play opened
with Sam b. and Little Lucie in the drama
of "Miss Mutton" and from the moment
the curtain raised until the close of the
| fifth act, the performance was watched
with the deepest interest. AS Sarah Mutton,
Agnes W. Villa created genuine admira-
tion, and furnished ample proof that she ID
leading star in her profession. Through,
out the play she was ably supported, Sam

comedian, as was fully demonstrated in
the laughable after-piece, in three scenes
entitled III, r. II. Pocahontas." The
burlesque was the most enjoyable we have
witnessed on the boards of Music Hal
this season, and was highly appreciated
by the audience, -lSeranton (Pa,) Dali!
