Al Tempting Position. Bgt One That car
gries Hith 10 NaHy Penalties.
To be the mistress of the white
house is altogether tempting and it
Is o position of almost uneQualed social
mower and influence. which has tested
and proved the tact, good sense and
true womanhood of most of those who
have reached the distinction In ordl-
nary times the white house is the CEN
ter of social life which centers popular
attention; the movements there are
matters of the widest public interest,
and many of them are of such charac-
ter that the people in general feel as
if they themselves We're the partici-
pants. In all the history of our country
this social life in the white house has
been Of that simple and unpretentous
character so becoming to the repub-
lican tastes and habits of the people at
large.
With all this temptation TO ostentiouS
and gaudy display and personal eXclu-
siveness it has always been maintain
ed apart from these The wives of
the presidents like the presidents them
selves, have come from the people, and
have taken the simple but sufficient
social forus of the country into the
most conspicuous social position of the
daddy of the white house. Under al
most no administration has the presi-
dent himself been more firmly fixed in
the hearts of the American people than
the lady who has directed the social life
Of the executive residence during his
term. And the names of many Of
these ladies-the Philadelphia Press de-
olares them to be the best types Of Am
erican womanhood-stan out almost as
prominently even as the names Of the
presidents
But the position has It's penalties
The exactions have been too much for
seine of those upon whom the respon-
sibility has ben thrown. Even those
whose physical strength has proved
sufficient to all the emergencies have
found much in the never-ceasing so
cial attentions that are extremely un.
desirable, even burdensome. The SELL
public character of the daily life Of al
the members of the white house family
is sadly destructive of true domestic liv-
ing A partial if not complete relief
is suggested in the entire separa-
ton of the family residence from the
house in which the executive business
Of the whole nation is transacted.
That would certainly admit of a greater
degree Of privacy and quiet, while in
no sense detracting from the social life
in the administrative circle. The white
house in its present condition is mt suit
ed as it should be to family life. It is
not desirable to destroy the building,
for it has historical associations that en-
dear it to the American people; but it
might be added to so that there shall be
q practically separate place for family
life It is desirable and proper.

SHOOTING ST.IRS.


Scieace Regayds Tbem as F,ogmcnts Of
SHjyeTcd comets.
The shooting stars are small bodies
weighing, ut most, few pounds, and
consisting mainly Of iron and carbon.
They traverse space in sWarms, and
also reyolve around the sun in long
elliptical courses like the comets
When these little bodies enter the
Carths orbit, they are DETECTED toward
the earth, and great numbers arc seen
in u single night Their brightness
is due to the heat engendered by the
energy of their motion Their speed
is enormous. viz: - IL kilometers a
second, while the speed Of the earth
on its orbit is only p kilometers a
second, forward. Consequently when
q shower of them approaches the
earth in the direction opposite to its
course, the initial speed is - Eilometers
"a second; when they follow ON its
course they gain 16, II kilometers a
second on it, Their mean rateof ap-
proach being 30 to 40 Hlometers Il sec
Oud. The friction engenders a tempera-
ture Of 800 degrees Celsius subject TO
they burst into into flame Thunder
these conditions their substance is not
yaporized, they pass throughand be
yond the upper strata Of our atmosphere
and pursue their proper course around
the sun; but as a rule they are vapor-
lied, in which case the yapOr mingles
with the atmosphere, to fall later as
meteoric dust. In this manner we come
in contact annually with 146 milliards
Of shooting stars, which add consider
ably to the eartb's substance.
Every year shooting stars present
the most interesting spectacle on the
night Of August 10th, and frequently
also on the two following nights. If
the night is clear, and the observation
is not disturbed by the moonlight one
may count hundreds and even thou
sands of falling stars during these three
nights, all coming from apparently
the same quarter Of the heavens the
constellation of Perseus. The fact that
the earth takes three days TO pass
through the shower of shooting stars
affords a measure of the enormous
space they occupy, the more so that
they cross our orbit ut right angles 20
the earth's course. Their orbit Is n
long one and corresponds with that Of
The great comet of 1862, which reaches
a distance of 7,1O4OO0,OOO kilometers
from the sun. approaching it at intervals
of III years. This immense orbit
appears to be fun Of shooting stars
Another date equally interesting for the
observation of shooting stars is Novem-
Der 18th On this date they are even
more numerous than on August 10th
At intervals Of thirty-three years they
fan ON this date as thick as snowaalles.
Two hundred and forty thousand are
estimated to have fallen on November
IA, 1893: the phenomena repeated
itself in 1866, and we look forward to
its recurrence in 1899. The November
shooting stars appear to come out Of the
constellation Leo The course of this
group corresponds TO that Of the comet
II 1896, near the orbit of Uranus at
q distance Of 2,S40 kilometers from the
sun, which It approaches every thirty
three years. In the year 125 A. y.
