METEORs BY THE MILLION.

The Earth Now Undergoing Fierce
BOmbardment by the Stray Shells of
Space.
The earth is now passing through the
stream OF August meteors, generally
seen in the northwestern sky after mid
night, says the Boston Herald. A single
observer under favorable circumstances
sees from six to eight meteOrs an hour.
But he sees only one-ffth or one-sixth of
those visible above his horizon. The to-
tai number, therefore, visible in an hour
at a given station is about thirty-five. If
we should multiply this by twenty-four
We should get over 500 as the
number visible at a given point Of
the earth's surface in an entire day.
provided that clouds or sunlight did not
Interfere with the observation. From a
single point on the earth's surface, how
ever, we see only a small portion of the
/ atmospheric envelope, and it is within
this atmospheric envelope that the mete-
ors become visible. The total number
visible over the whole earth in a day
would be upward of 10000 times the num-
Der visible at a single station, or 10000
multiplied by 500 equals 100000 as the
number OF meteors falling every day to
the earth, which would, in the absence OF
the sun, moon and clouds, be visible to
| the naked eye.
Fortunately for US, these bodies are not
very large. and a protective atmosphere
! interposes between US and their tumultu-
/ Gus assault. Were it otherwise every
! thing on the surface Of the earth would be
/ battered down to a common level. For
| the most part these bodies are dissolved
| in the upper regions of the atmosphere,
and 6ascand imnprcpDtibly as meteOriC
/ dust. a deposit Of which has sometimes
/ been found upon the tops Of mountains.
| The August meteOrs are usually OF an
/ orange color, move very rapidly, and
/ commonly leave streaks which last fol
/ one or more seconds. These streaks are
/ highly useful in enabling US tO-fx the IA
/ dlant point with precision.

PIERCE-CHAMBERs.
The Benefit Performance by the Fords
Tomorrow Night.

The Benefit Performance by the Fords
Tomorrow Night.
The rehearsals Of Miss Pierce's new
play to be presented by the Fords to-mor-
row night at the Pierce-Cham benefit
assure a performance equal TO any that
the association has ever given. The
MORNING News gave the plot of the play
yesterday. It is a farcical comedy in
three acts, after the order of "Freaks" and
"a Bunch of Keys" with opportunities
for the display Of a variety Of specially
acting. The cast includes Miss Pierce
and Miss Chambers in the leading roles,
supported by nearly the entire strength
of the association. The sale of seats
already indicates that the Opera House
will be packed.
Miss Pierce, during her two seasons en-
gagement with the FOrds, has deservedly
become a favOrite with the Savannah
amusement public. OF her acting it is
unnecessary TO speak. The public has
had every opportunity 10 judge for itself.
Miss Chambers, although she has been
engaged but a part Of the season, has re-
ceived more favor, probably, than any
actress ever received here n so short a
time.
The performance tomorrow night
affords the citizens an opportunity TO
show their appreciation of the services
that both ladies have rendered the Fords
and the entertainment they have afforded
the musemeDt public

THE nrRLoN QuEsTIoN.
How Many will the North Need IL IT
Takes All the south Can Send?

Editor Morning NecS. The Hartford
Conn., Times SAYS: "All the people Of
the North are willing to take all the
melons the South viii send, and at fair
rates. In the North there are nearly
100000 of people. Let us say that one
fourth of them, including our patrons of
the border Southern States, viii buy just
one melon each every day for one month
at the opening of our early melon season.
This would require 100000 per day, or
800 zoe, COO for that one month. What
proportion u this supply does
Southern Georgia raise? The late
crops of that section was planted for the
aggregate Of "three thousand ear loads"
1t fell short ''One-half," they say, but sup
pose the crops have been fun. A car
load is 1000 melons, which would have
made the crop 100000, or less than one
third of one days supply. In other
words, all Southern Georgia. if they had
made a full crop, would not have fur
ished one melon each for ORe-f0Hrtb Of
their Northern customers. Does this look
like OUefSt0ckiDQ the market? Why. there
are millions of people in the North who
have not yet seen a Southern melon, and
would not know they came there but for
the city journals. / think it safe to say
that all the Georgia and Florida melon
growers combined do not ship during
the season single days supply for one
fourth of their customers North, to say
nothing of the large number TO be sup
piled before they get there. And vet we
have been talking about the melon trade
as being a tremendous thing.''
Only think of it. If we were to produce
one days ration for one-fourth Of the
Northern people all our railroads COM
bined could not furnish ears enough to
transport the crop. What would we do
then with thirty days TatiOns, or 300,-
100000? Georgia is the Empire State of
the South, with a little over $1,000, 600
acres of land, and it would require her
TO be turned into one vast watermelon
farm. Shall we get disguised and Quit
the business?
But what do these things suggest To
my mind, that we have scarcely made
a beginning in the melon and truck farm
business. If we think it has grown great
because we see half a dozen steamships
loading at our Wharyes and two or three
railroads pushed for rolling stock for a
short season, what will we think when
whole fleets come down in the early
spring, and the railroads are obliged to
keep thousands Of extra cars on hand TO
accommodate this single trade? All OBJ
stacles must and viii be removed speed
ily, because il is the interest +
of all parties to cooperate and build up
trade that promises to enrich the whole
country. If the Northern dealers Will
not handle our produce without ruinous
commissions we must cooperate and
send men up there to do the handling, as
they will be sure to send men down here
to do the growing in case we neglect it. /
There will soon be $4,000, 900 of people in /
the North alone, and ''enterprising /
Yankees" are not likely to do without i
early fruits and vegetables when they can
be grown so close at hand.

All the food is prepared in superior

has been in the Home fGF number OF
years, and keeps the storeroOm, kitchen
and other rooms as clean "as
wax" Since the Home was erected it has
had but four or five matrOns, a fact which
signifies that the ladies who have held the
Office for such long terms satisfactorily
discharged their duties, the rule being
that when matr0n cannot MI the posi-
ton properly another shall succeed her.
Some of the inmates have selected the
institution as a home, not from necessity
but fr ON choice, but all are obliged TO OBJ
serve the rules. Those who are too feeble
to take their meals in the diningroOm are
served in their own apartments by the
