SHOOTING STARS
will Bc With Us In Proiusion the Nights Of
Nov. 13 and ~.

On the night between November Is
sky furrowed with numerous shooting
stars coming from space. and appear
ing to emanate from the constellation
Leo. not far from the star Zeta. This
shower of stars will be repeated more
abundantly next year. and even more
still in 1898. and will attain
it's maximum in 1899. Here is the ex-
PLANTATION of the phenomena:
A swarm of millards of meteoric
corpuscles circulates round the sun
along a very elongated orbit, which ex-
tends as far as Uranus. and takes about
33 years to travel. This immense celes-
tial highway is strongly inclined upon
the track which the earth follows in its
yearly travel round the sun. but cuts
our terrestrial orbit at the spot where
our planet passes on November IA.
We only expect to encounter this
swarm every 33 years. But it is dis
seminated along it's orbit over a vast
extent of hundreds of millions of
kilametres, SO that the passage
of these migratory birds of the
heavens lasts many years, almost
during the same period. for every
year more shooting stars are OBJ
served coming from this point of ema-
nation than from the other regions of
space. There appear to be also other
centres of condensation.
The main body of this celestial army
will reach us in 1899. Nevertheless as
tronomers are preparing to study with
the greatest attention on November IA
next. what passes through the sky. so
as to complete their knowledge of one
of the newest and most curious chap
ters of contemporary astrOnomy-the
relations existing between comets and
stars.

purchased by the Cincinnati club from
Chris Won der Abe Of the st. Louis
Browns, for cool $4,000.
Like the famous Mike Kelley, who
when the national game was in its
prime, was shinging light on the
base ball diamond, ,Breitenstien is called
the $4,000 beaut.''
"Breitenstien is great twirler." said
Mr.. Cross to Kennebec Journal re-
porter at the Cony house, last night.
He has the greatest curves and best
speed of any man that l ever saw. He
is a marvel. and his puzzling delivery
is something stupendous?"
when did you first see this famous
twirler ? asked the reporter.

You caught Breitenstien behind the
bat one time. did you not. Mr.. Cross?
Yes, when he first began his base
ball career was the receiving end OF
the battery. l encouraged the youns
fellow very much and told him to stay
by the ship and some day he would
surely be in league company if he
would only pay attention to business
In 'S7, SO, 80 and 81 Breitenstier

began his professional career in the box
