ASTRONOMICAL FIGURES.
The Number of Meteorltes Failing in the
Earth's Atmosphere Daily.

The Number Of Meteorltes Failing in the
Earth's Atmosphere Daily.
Observations of falling stars have been
used to determine roughly the average
number Of meteorites which attempt to
pierce the earth's atmosphere during each
twenty-four hours. DR.. Schmidt, of Athens,
from observations made during seventeen
wears, found that the mean hourly number
of luminous meteors visible on clear
moonless night by one observer was four
teen, taking the time Of observation from
midnight to one a. m.
1t has been further eXperimentally shown
that large group of observers who might
include the whole horizon in their ob'erva-
tions would see about six times as many
as are visible to one eye. Prof. b. A.
Newton and others have calculated that,
making all proper corrections the number
which might be visible over the whole
earth would be little greater than 10000
times as many as could be seen at one place
From this we gather that no less than 20
U0J,0O0 luminous meteors fall upon our
planet daily, each of which in the dark
clear night would present Us with the we'll
known phenomenon of a shooting-star.
This number, however, by no means repre-
sents the total anmber Of minute meteorites
that enter our atmosphere, because many
entirely invisible to the naked eye are
often seen in telescopes. 1t has been calcu-
lated that the number of meteorites, If
these were included. would be increased at
least twenty fold; this would give US 400.

atmosphere daily. Norman Lockyer, in

Detective Skill and Blunders.

Detectives are oftener over than under
rated. The detective business is like any
other calling 1t requires application aud
constant push and energy. 1t is not 80
much keenness as bulldog tenacity that
goes far toward making the successful de-
tective. The day has long since passed
when a detective is regarded as sort OF
supernatural being with an all-seeine eye,
from whom it is impossible for the culprit
to escape The fact of the matter IS, that
the commission CT crime nowadays rarely
goes unpublished owing in great measure
to the system employed in tracing criminals
and the joint action Of the authorities all
over the coun try, or, one might say, the
world Crime generally leaves its stain
somewhere, and give any faithful officer a
clue and he will in the majority Of cases.

What Answer!

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
the leading Republican organ of Ohio,
edited by a man whom President Harrl-
son recently nominated for Minister to
Germany, "opens the record of the Re
publican Senator'S who voted against his
confirmation.
Of Senator Evarts it says that as Sec
retary of State he threatened the Diaz
government in Mexico with non-recog-
milton at the hands of the United States
unless Gen. Diaz would agree that GER
tain railroad grants that had been made
by the Juarez government to railroad
friends of Mr. Evarts in New York
should be confirmed to them. 1t further
charges that "the knowledge of the
methods by which the Republican eau
Gus IN New York was said to have been
purchased to support Mr.. Evarts's elec,
ton to the Senate was held over bis head
bv Coal-Oil Democrats to compel him to
vote. as he did, IN opposition to an IN
vestigation of the Payne corruption.

extract from report of committee OF
the Forty-third Congress duplicating
him, when a provost marshal in the
army, in the robbery Of citizen of
Missouri of live stock, billed at $3.50,
but for which he was to receive only

terms of which they will each keep but
one war vessel at Samoa pending the

The vessel to be sent there by the United

AT THE MERCY OF THE WAVES.
Terrific Experience Of the Steamer Chat
tahoochee OF the Voyage from Savan-
nah to New York.


nah to New York.
New YORK, April 1O.-Thc steamer
Chattahoochee arrived from Savannah
to-day. The vessel was three days over
due, and came up to her pier in bat
tered condition. One. hundred and
thirty-fve passengers quickly quilted
the vessel, glad to once more reach terra
fama. While off Body Island Saturday
morning, twenty-four hours after leaI-
ing Savannah, the Chattahoochee en-
countered the heavy gale which proved
so disastrous in Southern ports. y hail
storm was met and the deck was at one
time covered with pieces Of ice to a
depth Of two feet. The gale ragged all
day with increasing violence. On Sun
day morning at 500, while the pas
sengers were rocking in their berthS,
giant wave broke over the deck, carry
ing away Il section of the bulwarkS and
smashing in the side of the saloon. An
other and another wave followed, flood
ing the saloon and the long tier OF sleep
ing berths The passengers awoke,
panic-stricken. to find themselves in
several feet OF water and more pouring
in. Women and men rushed from their
staterooms. crying. Many ran around
like maniacS. Others made rush for
the life preservers and tried to make
their way on deck. Captain Daggett
and his officers tried to calm the pasSen-
gers, but with small success. For two
days many Of the passengers were on
their knees in prayer.
The captain stopped the engines Sun
day, and the vessel was allowed to drift
for forty-eight hours. lie used all the
oil on board in an effort to break the
combingS of the waves. 1t was not IN
til Monday at 10 o'clock that the engines
were again started. The ship had
drifted 900 miles cut of her course.
The vessel has several holes in her
bow and part of the bridge is carried
away. The port side, from stem to
stern. is splintered and washed.
Great damage was done below. Five
of the state rooms are completely de
molished. Nearly all of the crockery and
glassware was smashed, and six big mir
rors were ruined. The waves were so
high as to reach up to and break the
thick glass ventilators on the upper
deck and pour down the smokestack.
Captain Daggett says that It
was the worst gale he ever
experienced, and that during the whole
two days his vessel was in the utmost
peril. His officers and crew worked TO
repair the damage done and protect the
passengers. There were eighty-six cabin
and forty-nine steerage passengers,
thirty of whom were women. They
were in badly exhausted condition
when landed, many being unable to
walk. One lady was unconscious and
was taken away in the cab.
The Chattahoochee was to have sailed
again for Savannah tomorrow, but will
have to go into dock for repairs, and
the City of Savannah will take her place.
After the gale the Chattahoochee
passed dismasted brig and bark, both
IN distress. Late Monday night she
came across a lightship adrift. She
steamed around the latter four times
and offered assistance, but it was re-
fused.
