Slavery survived in England much
later than is generally supposed. The
word bondage in northumberland
still means female farm servant. The
coolies and Salters-i O., salt miners-of
East Lothian were actually slaves till
1915, If they deserted their Service, any
one harboring them was liable to a pen
atty of 50 if he did not restore them in

SHOOTING STARS.
How These Odd and Erratic Baby Planet,
Blaze and Darken

The shooting star is an oddly Of tho
very oldest kind, 1t is q world Of itself
"A miniature planet probably not
larger than the papier mache globe ON
your study table or the rubber ball
with which the schoolboys play 'thre6T
cornered cat, )" but it is a world Just the
same. These baby planets are hot al
ways round, as planets are generally
supposed to be, but are known TO be in
all sorts OF queer shapes. Some are
square, others octagonal; some irregu-
lar and many cornered, while one is o.
casionally met with which is smooth
as brick or a cement paving stone.
Probably you have never heard Of
man Cor woman either, for that matterl
meeting with" a shooting star in any
OF his wanderings. Let us see how suck
a thing might be possible.
The shooting star is originally a min.
iature world, revolving around the sun
with as much regularity az the earth,
Jupiter, Venus or Mars 1t keeps up
this unerring flight thousands or even

limit OF its existence. Suddenly and
perhaps without any visible cause it
shoots of at tangent 1t il now a

other stars are Let us see what will

body that we are talking about shot of
from its orbit in the direction Of our
earth. Its speed is not less than 90
miles a second, probably five times that.
In the great outer sea Of space il en-
counters no resistance TO its headlonQ
flight. But wait. 1t is nearing the en-
velope OF atmosphere which surrounds

enough to instantly raise the tempera-

stratum of 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
tiers IN the stone. There is an instanta-
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
lthwart the heavens will not appear to
be more than "A few hundred feet long.
