What are Shooting Stars :

What do We know as certain facts With
regard to shooting stars?
/. They are vastly more numerous
than any one has an idea of who has not
watched them continuously for many
nights. Astronomers who have kept 8
record for many years assured us that the
average number seen by one observer at
one place on clear, moonless night is
fourteen per hour, which is shown by
calculation to be equivalent to 20, 100000
daily for the whole earth.
2. They are not terrestrial phenomena,
moving in the lower atmosphere, but
celestial bodies moving in orbits, and
with velocities comparable to those Of
planets and comets. Their velocities
are seldom under ten miles a second or
oyer fifty, and average about thirty, the
velocity of the earth in its orbit around
the sun being eighteen.
8. They are of various compositions,
comprising both a large majority of
smaller particles which are set on fire by
the resistance of the earth's atmosphere,
and are entirely burned up aud resolved
into vapors long before they reach its
surface, and few larger ones known as
meteors. which are only partly fused or
glazed by heat, and reach the earth in
the form of stony masses.
4. They are not uniformly distributed
through space, but collected in meteoric
swarms, or streams, two at least Of which
revolve around the sun in closed rings,
which are intersected by the earth's orbit,
causing the magnificent displays oi
shooting stars which are seen in August
and November.
S. They are connected with comets, il
having been demonstrated by Sciaparelll
that the orbit of the comet of 1865 is
identical with the August swarm Of
meteors known as the Perseids, and con.
nection between Genet and meteor
streams have been found 10 at least three
other cases. The fact is generally
believed that comets are nothing but q
condensation of meteorites rendered
incandescent by the heat generated by
their mutual collision when brought into
close proximity.
6. Their composition, as inferred from
the larger meteors which reach the earth,
is identical, or nearly so, with that OF
matter brought up from great depths by
volcanic eruptions. In each case they
consist of two classes, one composed
mainly of native iron alloyed with nickle,
the other of stony matter, consisting
mainly of compounds of silicon and
magnetism. Most meteorites consist of
compounds of the two classes, in which
the stony parts seem to have broken into
fragments by violent collision, and
become imbedded in iron which has been
fused by heat into plastic or pasty condi-
ion.-Conteoporary Review.

A Peculiar Election Bet.

A very original bot was made at the
West End between two we'll known
business men of New York, one
wealthy contractor, Who did considerable
work on the aqueduct when twas begun.
The other is a prominent banker and 8
member of the New York stock ex-

In case Of Cleveland's election, the
banker is to wear straw hat with red
bandana band during the entire months
of December and January. BE is to
have the privilege of purchasing new
hat as often as he sees 6t, but he is to
wear the hat during the transactions OF
his usual business. In the event of Har.
rison's election, the contractor, who is a
Democrat and member of Tammany
hall, is to occupy one of the bathing
houses on the beach in front of Lelaud's
hotel, during the months of February
and March. he may furnish it with a
folding cot, one chair, two kerosene
lamps, a cooking stove, and is to cook
his own meals.
he can spend two hours each day at
any place he chooses in Long Branch,
but he is not to go to New York, except
in case of his own sickness or that of
some member of his family, which sick

We arrived at the large and substantial
buildings used for dairy purposes, con-

the dairy proper, most of them Of recent

buildings and yards looked beautifully
clean and bright. In. front of the dairy
is an oval plat of ground filled with

were many pretty young Jersey calves

From the Ne,cbery Observer.

Some persons claim that separate
agricultural college can be established
and maintained without increasing the
taxes. They attempt to prove this by
figures, and no doubt do prove it to their
own satisfaction. In other words, they
are honest in what they say they believe
that the establishment and maintenance
of the college would not increase the
taxes.
The figures given by those who claim
that no additional tax will be required
are these:

thousands year of the world when Christ
should come again and the restitution OF
all things should be accomplished.
Six thousand years had been given to re.
deem mankind. When the seven thou.
Bandth year was ended, then would
come the millennium. Some of their
learned men, he said, state that there are
only fourteen years more, but he was not
after fixing the time. The signs of this
were to be seen in every direction.
The first step would be the burning up
of the material world, and God would
burn the wicked up with it. The world
had to be made over again.
The next work was to create new
heaven and new earth. Then up from
the tombs of death would come those
who died in the Lord. Hehoped to come
up. He hoped all his hearers would
come up. Oh, wouldn't that be happy
time!
Then men would live thousand years.
They shall build houses and live in them
themselves, plant and enjoy the fruits

There would be no black and no white.

THINGS ARE MIXED.
some Good with tho Bad and Woe Yer


Things are strangely mixed in this
aublunary world. There is some bad
with most avery good and some good
with avery bad. Rowlan says the corn
needs rain, though it amt q sufsrin',
but the cotton has had most too much.
Rain isa blessed thing for the farmers,
but it5hardly ever comes just at the right
time or in the proper quantity. Some.
times when We need q. good fair season it
comes down in . waterspont or q trash
litter, and takes up things ssscanlous, " as
;Cobe says. Plenty Of corn is q good
thing, but when every body makes . big
crop the price is. so Low it would hardly
pay for hauling. Fire is good thing
but geta loose sometimes and destroys
without mercy. It is ever SO nice TO have
a fne house and fine furniture, but it
takes alI the more work to keep it nice,
and q man don't know whether he is
built for the house or the house built for
him: "a fne dinner Is q good thing but
ffit takes all the evening to wash the
dishes and clean up after it. Plenty Of
money is q good thing git is apt to makes
man proud and his wife stuck up, and
spoils his children. Solomon says 1He
that gettsths 8 wife getteth q good thing
from the Lord, and that's so know, but
they do work a man mighty hard some-:
times. Mrs. Arp made me take every

tohunt5 for q rat that she declared WAS in,
there ard it:took me an honr to not find
the rat and i let fall . dish cover and
broke It and the rest Of that story is too;
tedious to mention.
But then, on the other hand, there isl
some good mixed sup with every bad,
though We can't see it very plain on all
occasions. Alexander Stephens said he

Another Bad Invention.

A patent has been granted to one
Joseph Daily of Madison, Indiana, for
the manufacture of maple sugar by
mixing an extract of hickory with any
ordinary sirup, such as cane sugar
sirup and sorghum. We are indebted
to the Scientific American for this in
teresting fact, which says: If the
patentee's statement is correct, it is no
longer necessary to go through the
tedious and exhausting labors of tree
tapping and sirup-boiling in order to
obtain maple sugar. If it should be
proved that the patent process will con-
vert into maple sirup a solution of the
newly discovered chemical sweet known
as saccharine,' which is said to be
three hundred times sweeter than cane
sugar, or the more recent artificial
sugar of Drs. Fischer and Tafel, then
the acme of transformation will have
been reached and the interposition of
congress will be necessary to save the
genuine maple sugar industry from
going to destruction" That journal
adds, sarcastically: "This would only
be in keeping with the action of con-
gress last year in its efforts to sup
press the oleomargarine butter indus
try because the popular taste pre-
ferred it to the rancid and dirty stuff
called genuine butter which is found in
our markets." This remark is not a just
one. The best of the oleomargarine
may be more wholesome than much
of the poor butter, but the chief COM
plants against the bogus butter were
that it was too generally manufactured
from materials that were deleterious
and put on the market and sold for
genuine butter. This was a fraud upon
the public which rightfully demanded a
remedy. The inventor of the "patent
maple sugar" claims that he has dis
covered that the hickory tree will pro-
duce the precise flavor of the maple.
If his claim is well founded then his
invention may prove bad one, not
only for the producers of maple sugar
but for the public, as it may be used to
defraud people who want only genuine
maple sirup and sugar. If the bogus
substitute should be imposed upon the
public in the same way as oleomargar-
]
become a matter for Legislative action.
