man found himself housed the other
day.
His bedroom was clean and comfort
able; all the toilet requisites were pres
ent in plain but essential quality. The
price was moderate, and ut first inspec-

himself fortunate.

however, the crippled man hunted up
the landlady, and presented complaint.
"Mrs. Brisque, he began, "I like to

is right except my bed. The mattress is
soft, springs all right, and all that, but

The shooting star is an oddly of tho
very oldest kind. 1t is world Of itself
"a miniature planet probably not
larger than the papier mache globe on
your study table or the rubber ball
with which tho schoolboys play "threo
cornered cat. but it is a world just the
same. These baby planets are not al
ways round, as planets are generally
supposed to be, but are known to be in
all sorts Of queer shapes. Some nre
square, others octagonal; some irregu-
lar and many cornered, while one is oc-
caslonally met with which Is smooth
as brick or cement paving stone.
Probably you have mover heard Of q
man <or woman either, for that master)
meeting with" a shooting star in any
of his wanderings. Let us see how such
q thing might be possible.
The shooting star is originally min
iature world, revolving around the sun
with as much regularity as the earth,
Jupiter, Venus or Mars. 1t keeps up
this unerring fight thousands or even
millions of years Finally it reaches the
limit of its existence. Suddenly and
perhaps without any visible cause it
shoots off Mt tangent. 1t is now
shooting star. F." Formerly it was q
world, but even now it is not bright as
other stars are. Let us see what will
cause it to "fame up like a gigantic
torch in the heavens. This particular
body that we are talking about shot off

miles second, probably five times that.
In the great outer sea Of space it en-
counters no resistance to its headlong
flight. But wait. 1t is nearing the en-
velope OF atmosphere which surrounds
our globe. What will be the result when
it comes In contact with "the mir we
breathe?" The first stratum it strikes
Is 20 attenuated that its resistance is
very slight. Yet the friction is great
enough to instantly raise the tempera-
ture Of the falling world. Within the
hundredth part Of q second the dense
stratumof atmosphere has been encoun-
tered. The flight Of the little world is
now perceptibly checked, the result be-
ing sudden firing Of the mineral mat

neous burst Of light, and then we see
the doomed representative Of the minia-
ture planets in all its meteoric splendor.
Possibly the streak of fire it leaves
athwart tho heavens will not appear to
be more than few hundred feet long.
Certainly it will be thin and short if
the little world was not larger than a
football-because it will be almost in
stantly consumed as soon Us it strikes
the denser portions of the atmosphere.

Has SO suddenly como to an end was as
