The Edds says that originally all the
stars were sparks of fire from Muspells'
helm that few about the air at random
till the gods assigned them seats and or
bits. Another item of folklore ascrihes
the shooting siars TO a trimming OF the
stars light. and afiirms that they are like
the sparks we let fall in snutling candle.
Hence there is an old German saying to the
effect that there is "Nostar so bright bat
trims itself somewhere with which may
be compared similar one found among
continental peasantry, who speak of 1.-THE
stars shutting themselves"
In Germany much importance is attached
to the appearance Of the shooting stars,
which are believed 20 he ominous. Indeed
in bygone years so much superstltious awe
WAS paid to them that on seeing them per
soas were recommended to say u prayer.
To the generous girl, says Grimm. who

with them gold pieces, AMI it is further
said that whatever wish you form willie

relating to shooting stars, 1t seems that II

And OF. before ,empestuous winds arise,

have become associated with the stars
may he mentioned one quoted by Thorpe
in his Northern Mythology" who says;
"Old minds and bachelors. according to III.
North t'risians, are curiously employed
after death. AS soon as the sun is sunk
below the horizon the old maids must cut
stars out Of it, which the old bachelors
during the night must blow up in the east,
going all the time up or down a ladder"
And then of course there was the favor

that mundane events are more or less IN
fluenced by the stars Hence it was said
that II child born under the sign of the
lion would be courageous, but one born
under the crab would not 90 forth well ia
