The most interesting fact in connec-
ton with the August meteors remains
to be stated. Formerly they were sup
posed to have had their origin within the
solar system, and to move about the
sun as an orbit nearly circular, and with
a velocity approximating that of the
earth. It's now known that they move
very rapidly, their velocity being up
ward of thirty eight miles second, or
double the velocity of the earth in its
orbit, and that they were introduced
into our system by the attraction of
Neptune, or of a planet still more re-
mote. Prof. Schiaparelli of Milan, COM
puted the orbit ofthis stream, and found
its elements to be nearly identical with
those of comet of 1862. In fact,
there could be no doubt that the comet
belonged to the stream, that it was, in
fact, an August meteor, result which
opens up a new field of speculation in
regard TO these mysterious wanderers OF
the sky. Boston Herald.
