Cleveland. July 3l.-By a roundabout
way, news has been received by friends
and relatives in this city of the recent
movements of David r. Paige. the most
conspicuous American fugitive in South
America. Not for day has there been
a cessation OF efforts being made TO meet
the forged paper he put in circulation to
bolster up his big New York aqueduct
contract. The amount of the paper
bearing the forged name Of John Hunt
mgton was originally 100000, and, ii is
said. that only $4,000 is now outstand-
Ing. Paige is eager to return to the
United States. and has been living
mostly in the suburbs of Buenos Ayres.
Recently, however. he has been in Lon
don. in consultation, 1t is believed. with
Attorney Kellogg of New York, and 1t is
thought also that he has been in Paris
and Canada. There are certain things
also which indicate that he was in New
York for a few days.

The country has experienced enough
political cyclones this year without
wishing for any more disturbances.
Nevertheless keep your eye open for a
comet is coming.
1t is due on November 4, the day after
election.
This one was discovered on July 6, 1889,
by Mr.. w. y. Brooks of Geneva, New
York. After few observations the as
tronomers were able by a mathematical
problem of great length to determine the
time of its revolution. This they found
TO be about seven years. Mr.. Z. l.. Poor
fixed Nov. 4, 1896, for the time when II
would come nearest to the sun. 1t was
expected that the comet might be picked
up before it reached its nearest point to
the sun. This expectation has been fully
realized, for the comet was sighted on
the night of June 20 by Mr. Javelle using
the 80 inch refractor OF tho observatory of
Nice. Its place was almost identical with
that given in the calculations or ephemeris
of the astronomers. When an astronomer
can tell to hair the exact place in the
heavens W here a comet will be seen six
years from now it may be regarded as q
pretty good demonstration of the value
OF mathmntical astronomy. The comet
will be visible to observers throughout
the present summer and autumn. 1t
may possibly be seen by the naked eye
In November when its perihelion occurs.
1t will then probably be nearest the
earth. The facts about meteors and
comets were CLEANED by a NEws repre-
sentative during a conversation wit h
Mr.. Frank Il. Seagravo OF 1i9 Benetit
street, VINO is deeply interested In all
matters pertaining to astronomy.

Showers of Luminous
Bodies Are Expected.
Are Fragments Of Comets and
Can Be Plainly Seen.
Big Comet Will Also Make Its Ap-
pearance in the Heavens.

Probably every one has seen stars.
under peculiar circumstances. There is
the story OF the man who thought he
could observe the stars more advantage
ously II he were at the bottom of we'll.
Accordingly, in pursuance of this idea,
he got friend who put a rope around
well. This particular well was a very
old one, and when the observer was half
way down couple of bricks, having
been loosened at the top, following the
law Of gravitation. alighted on the
would be star gazer's head. When
hauled up he reports having seen not
only stars but perfect shower OF me-
teors and comets. However this may
be, to any peIsJn who remains out after
dark any clear evening in August will be
given the opportunity, II ne will cast his
eye toward the heavens, to see those
sparks OF light known as meteors. The
best time to see them will be any clear
night from the 9th TO the 18th of August,
because the moon liz out OF the way. They
come from the northeast and will be
seen In the constellation known as Per-
seus.
Once in about 33 years the earth, NOV
ing at its terrific speed about the sun,
passes through a great number OF these
meteors, many Of which fall to the
earth. In 1888 they fell as thick as snow
flakes. Again in 1886 there was a shower of
them, while the next batch is expected in
1899. The question now arises why
should they be so plain in 1896? 10 ex-
plain this 1t is necessary to go back and
see from what motors originate. Meteors
are fragments OF comets. In fact comets
are not solid bodies, but are composed
of great mass of fragments, held to-
gether by attraction. AS the comets spin
around the sun at terrific rate, the ir-
resistible force OF this motion overcomes
the force OF attraction, and these frag-
ments fly of from the comet, and are
called meteors. There is a comet known
by the name of Biela, which makes its
years, six times as long as 1t takes the
earth to GO round, because the comet has
10 no SO much further than the earth. A
number OF years ago Biela's comet, when
il came round near the earth was found
to be broken, that is the fragments were
more widely scattered, chiefly in two
divisions. Since that time fragments have
kept dropping off so now there is only
part of the original Biela left. When
every six years this part comes round the
earth's orbit and passes through it, there
is a shower of meteors or fragments. In
1872 a lot of fragments from this comet
fell, and six years later the earth received
a shower, in 1873 and SO on in 81, 80
and '96. That is the reason meteors may
be seen so plainly this year.

Is, however, well to remem ber that many
discoveries did not, in their early stages,

pose that, In the future, il may not
prove of the highest value.

know IL Mount Hercules is the highest
mountain In the world. According TO
recent claims made for 1t, Mount Her
culef, which is In Papua, is 33, 900 feet in
height. IL this measurement Is correct
the Himaiayas, which have hereto
fore been regarded as the highest noun :
taips In the world have TO take second
place. So far as authentic in formation
goe-, the summit OF Mount Everest is
%, 002 feet above the sea level; Kinching-

of Mount. Everest. Ii is believed that
there are over hundred peaks in the

gard 10 Mount Hercules the leading
