The answer to the complaint in the

1t alleges that when the warrants
were issued the entire park purchase

that City Treasurer Elliott had given an

During the past week none of the really

efforts to confuse witnesses and lead
them into contradictions. The real
weighty evidence upon which the prose-
cution depends is to be furnished by
three school girls who saw Durrant on
the street car with Miss Lamont, on the
day she disappeared; Martin Quintan,
an attorney, who saw Durrant walking
towards Emanuel church about 4 o'clock

No flags waved over the buildings, as

failed to purchase any. Superintendent
Largent states that when flags are pur-
chased he will have them hoisted at ex-

the clocks being wrong will be of no

will! be made this year to secure a high

that tardy pupils would be "decapltated."

was observed in any of these cases. Or
this account it has been urged that while
meteors may not come from comets they
both may have had similar origin.
They both may have been elected BY
one OF the major planet before it had nd
vanced far in the process of cooling. The
gaseous product would form the comet
and the solid the meteors. This was the
theory of Professor Proctor To account
for the Perseids on this ground it is nee.
essary to suppose the existence Of a Planet
beyond Neptune, which threw out Tug-
ties comet and the visitors which
brighten our skies this week. This is
not an utterly improbable superstition
as for several years the existence of one
or more ultra Neptunian planets has
been regarded possible. Which of these
two views as to the origin of meteorie
showers is the correct one cannot be said,
but that comets and meteors are in some
way related is not to be doubted.
The Perseids, or rather scattered MEM
bers of the shower, have been observed
as early. as July s and as late as August
25. They were recognized, of course, by
their coming from the radiant in Perse-
us. The majority, however. may always
be expected about August 10.

THE IMPACT OF THE BICYCLE.
Few wheelmen Realize Its Terrific Force.

(F'rom the Scientific American.
The ability of bicycle rider in rapid
motion to do serious damage in collision
with another machine or with a pedes
trian is fully appreciated by few wheel
men. A man weighing $50 pounds and
moving at the rate of 10 feet a second
(Which is only about seven miles an hour)
out of the account the weight of the
wheel. This is sufficient to upset any
pedestrian with terrific force 1t has been
suggested that the pneumatic tire forms
sort of fender which would prevent SER
ious conclusion in case of collision. 1t
would undoubtedly have slight modify
ing effect, but it would be of little ac-
count. A collision between two wheels,
each with 150-pound rider, spinning
at the moderate speed of seven miles an
hour, would result in a smashup with q
force of 5000 pounds In view of the
facts, it is 10 wonder that bicycle acct
dents are often very serious.
The tractive force required to propel q
bicycle over a smooth level surface il es-
timated at O. Oh of the load; calling the
load $50 pounds, a force of 10 pound,
would be required to move the wheel for
ward, and this calls for pressure ON the
pedals of "a pounds ON wheel geared
in the usual manner When, however,
the road is rough or on an up grade, the
case is different. On grade of in 10,
for example, the rider, in addition to the
tractive force, actually lifts ITO CT His
weight and that of the machine. With a
rigid or semi-rigid tire the rider is OBJ
liged to exert sufficient force to lift him
self over every obstruction encountered
by the wheel; the descent from the OBJ
struction gives back a portion of the pow
er extended in surrounding it, but not
all of it, In the case of the pneumatic
tire, however, the small distractions are
not an opposing element of any conse-
quence, as the tire yields, in lieu of the
wheel being raised, and the result is the
wheel travels as upon smooth track.

1t is very much to be doubted if the
cause of religion derives any permanent
benefit from such transaction as that
at Old Orchard on Sunday. Indeed a
very strong argument could be made to
show that the ultimate effect is exactly
the reverse. Many of the persons who re-
sponded to the call for contributions
from DR.. Simpson were evidently in a
state of mind which utterly obscured
their judgment. Some of them were in a
condition bordering on emotional insanity,
having been wrought up by the stirring
appeals that preceded the call for the
contributions Nobody will believe that
the man and his wife who surrendered
every cent they had in the world acted
with elaboration, or even with intelli-
gence. They were the victims of an over
enthusiasm closely approaching frenzy. 1t
is perfectly legitimate to awaken an in
terest IN the cause of missions by explain
ing the need of them and setting forth
the good work that they do. But to
work on emotional natures by stir
ring appeals, supplemented with pray
e. and singing and shouting until
the judgment is dethroned and then
call for contributions is not legiti-
mate, even when the cause sought to
be aided is so good one as that of mis-
sionary work among the heather. There
can hardly be doubt that many of
the people who made such lavish pledges

THE SHOOTING STARS.
They Are Due just About This Time
Where to Look for Them.
New York Mail and Express. J

New York Mail and Express.)
Shooting stars may be seen on any clear
night in the year by diligent observer,
but they are generally not numerous
enough to attract attention. AT times,
however, they come in such numbers and
from one particular section of the heavens
as to be fairly called showers The
Leonids in November, and the Per-
seids in August, are the two most note
worthy of these showers. To see the Per-
seids it is only necessary to watch the
northwestern sky after 9 O'Clock on the
evenings Of the 9th, 10th, and 18th of
August. The new observer is sure to be
surprised at the number of these noiseless
little fire balls which seem to chase each
other across the sky. They appear to
come, when their paths are produced
back, from ii point in the constellation
Perseus, and hence their name, Perseids.
But it is not necessary to know the con-
stellation to see the meteors. They can
not be missed, no matter how little as
Economical knowledge one may possess.
The origin of meteoric showers appear
ing so regularly from year to year has
deem Un6 SuU1CU OIL III ucn discussion. That
there were swarms of meteors revolving
in regular orbits about the sun was recog.
nized as early as the great shower of 1888,
a November display. After the shower
of 1866, it was discovered that the Leonids
were moving in the same orbit as the
comet of 1866 kown as Temples comet.
About the same time calculation showed
tina the Perseids were moving in the same
path as Tuttle's comet of 1862. Biela s
comet was next connected with the An
dromds and one or two other such con-
nections seem to be pretty we'll estab-
lished. Such being the case the theory
that the meteors were really pieces of a
comet, that they were the result of a
cometary disintegration, was advanced.
That there is some connection between
the two seems probable to say the least,
but there are some things to be said
against the cometary disintegration the
DRY. Mr.. Monck has pointed out that
Lexell comet approached within !, 400,
600 miles of the earth in 1910 and
that Lexellian meteors might have been
expected, but there is no record of any
such display at that time. The great
comet of 1887 remained for four days
esriuilin 4,00O, 900 miles of the earth; the
comet of 1861, said by Sir John Herschel
to be the finest of the century, and one
of the comets of 1926, passed very close
to the earth, but no great star shower
