THE SHOOTING STARS.
Works To- Night---W What Was
seen Last Night.


Last night was beautiful, and those
who turned their faces upwards in hopes
of seeing meteoric display before mid
night, were disappointed. The appear
ance of the heavens during the evening
though, was grand. They were so clear
in fact that the stars were scarcely visi =
BILE at all, but on toward morning the
shower of meteOrs came, and continued
at intervals until dsybreak. The cause OF
this is eXplaiId in the fact that the earth
is now entering the November mete0ric
belt, and those who are curious enough
to observe the heavens after midnight or
possibly an hour before. will witness the
spectacle. This brilliant display of ma
lures fire works has been observed for
centuries, aud it has been noticed that
the meteOric shower falls back two days
during each century, and in 902 A. d.
the shower occurred in October. Once
in thirty three wears the shower of shoot>
ing stars becomes wonderful. Humboldt,

other IF these great storms which was
observed in this country and in 1866 one
which was only seen in Europe. At
Malta il was estimated that the stars
were falling at the rate OF 30 900 au hour
Il WAS not until Il ouly few years ago that
;lec of this annually occurring display
became known. Many were the theories
prOp1unded. They were generated in
the atmosphere, said some; but when a
large one came into tue earth's
atmosphere. aud, bursting into fragments,
fell to the ground, people said they CANE

been cast off in some great volcanic erup-
tons IN the moon. The interplan-

men to be free from matter; but little by
little it dawned upon them that it was
full of matter. In 1888 an astrono-
mer suggested that in November showers

this suggestion was found to be
fact, and the orbit of the belt of meteors
was computed. People who wish to
view the display must be on hand tonight
and part of Sunday night. They will
see enough shooting stars to reward their
vigil. The greatest part of the display
does not occur until after midnight,
though usually by II p, N. the display
will become brilliant.
