August Meteors.

uilWduhec utih
OF course, o shooting star is not. ia fact, q
star. A star is a fixed sun. often larger than
our own sun. The shooting star is a body, NOV
ing in space. which strikes the earth's atmos-
phsre. and is burned up by the heat arising
from friction with the atmosphere. Space is
full of such bodies of all sizes. Occasionally one
is so larfe that it is not entirely consumed in
passing through our atmosphere, and it is able
to reach the earth; but mostly they are con-
sumed before they approach within fifty miles Of
the earth's surface.
There are two meteor streams well known to
US. Both streams move in the orbits of comets
around the sun. The path of the November
meieors extends to the orbit OF Uranus, and
about the thirteenth Of November the earth
crosses this path. This meteoric swarm is
bunched-that is to say they move mostly In a
group. Every tiirty-three years this group
reaches that point in its path where the earth
crosses il in November. and then there are
msteoric showers. The last shower
was in 1866. observable only In
Europe. But the group has q tendency to scat
ter along the path, some particles moving faster
than others. Consequently every November. as
the earth crosses the path of the meteors, there
are some shooting stars seen. After q while the
group will be scattered pretty evenly along the
whole path and then there will be no great
showers. This is what has taken place in the
case of the August meteors. the path Of these
meteors 10 much longer than thar OF the No
vember group. passing far out beyond Neptune.
the outermost known planet OF our system. The
August meteors have been moving in their orbit
longer than the others and have become scat
tered all along the path. Consequently We have
no sho wers of meteors, such as come from large
groups, but on the nights of the 9th. 10th
and llth of August, as we cross their path. a
good many meteoroids ia. into our atmos-
phere and are consumed If there should still
be a particular group following the comet in
whose path they move. the earth and the group
would come together about once in one hundred
and twenty-four years.

Materialism In America.

DR.. Lyman Abbott. in August Century.
LIDO not ask that men of wealth shall give
more money to the church, which 10 often
stronger when it 10 poor than when 1t is rich;
nor to the poor and thriftless, whom unearned
money only keeps IN poverty. / urge that the
power to make money, like any other power, is
a trust bestowed on the possessor for humanity.
The preacher who breaches for his salary, not
for the spiritual well-being of his parishoners,
is a mercenary; the physician who practices for
his fees. not to cure the sick, is a mercenary;
the lawyer who pleads for his honorarium, not
for justice, isa mercenary; the politician who
euacts laws for what he can make. not for the
community. il q mercenary; no less the manu-
~facturer, the merchant, the trader, the man on
change, VINO transacts his business to make
money, not to give the community its meat in
due season, is . mercenary. In the history of
the nineteenth century the doctrine that wealth
is a trust must stand by the side of the doctrine
that labor Is an honor and liberty is an obedi-
ence. The materialism that threatens the
American church is not the materialism of
Herbert Spencer. IL 10 the matsrialism of the
railroad. the factory, the shop; the materialism
thai puts thinchood above manhood; that does
not know that things were made for man, not
man for things-:hst God gives US, not Irish
men to build our railroads. but railroads to
build Irishmsn; not Hungarisns TO dig our
mines. but mines to develop manhood in Hun
gArians.

A Grea Thunderstorm In Russia.

On the night Of July 10. from 9 o'clock p. NJ.
till o'clock 10 the morning. the university city
of Kharkoff was visited by a thunderstorm
which for violence and destructiveness beats the
record Of sixty years. Immense trees were torn
ND by the roots and whirled away for hundreds
Of yards. the roofs were lifted clean off many OF
the houses, numberlees windows were puiver-
izec, stone walls blown away. etc. Pa,ek's
museum of wax-works was scattered to the
winds. Some buildings have been so utterly de-
molished that literally q stone is not left upon a
stone. At present the streets of Kharkoff are
other tokens of the violence of the storm. The
gardens and orchards of the city are desolate:
NOT o fruit. nor even . leaf Is visible. and the
forest Of Osnova. peopled with tall. bare, leaf
less trees, closely resembles . study in copper
plate.

An Insidious Way.

TOPIC.


'Catarrh steals, In an insidious way, it's
marches on his victims" says an eminent au-
thority. However simple in character and
short in duration the FIRST attacks may be-. they
dispose the mucous membrane to fresh attacks;
each attack involves a larger extent Of surface
than its predecessor; when once the complaint
has reached the finer ramifcations of the bronchi
it Turks there etill-even after the larger tubes
have been restored to temporary health-every
