 The meteOroids are dark bodies, and 1t is only when they pass into the earth's atmosphere that they are ig nited by friction and ccome visible for a few seconds. The stream makes a revolution around the sun in about thir- ty-three and one-fourth years and by consequence the earth passes through 1t in 8 new place each year The length of the swarm is so enormous that al- though at perihelion it moves at the rate of nearly twenty-five miles a sec ond, yet 1t takes it two years to pass the earth, so that when its hinder part Is still with us its advancing side will have reached the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. Notwithstanding this extent 1t Is but fraction of the entire orbit Prof. Swift says: ''This great cluster will reach the earth's orbit about June 1, 1899, but the earth will not have ar rived there then, but will be due nearly six months later, when our planet will plunge into the swarming mass and for at least five hours we shall experience a literal rain of fire."-Baltimore Sun.

STARS WILL SHOWER DOWN.
Astronomers Expect a Rain of Fire
 in Two Years.

in Two Years.
 The astronomers look for the next great meteoric shower on the morning of Nov. 15, 1899. They calculate that the earth will then pass again through the center of an immense swarm of me teoroids, as they are called before con- bustion. These great "Leonide star showers" as they are called, occur at intervals of every thirty-three years and one day. The great shower of 1799 occurred on Nov. 12; that of 1883 on Nov. 13, that of 1866 on Nov. IA, and consequently repetition of the next wonderful phenomena is expected on the morning of Nov. 15, 1899.
 Tn the meanwhile, however, as the aggregation of meteoroids Is of i'm mense length one end of it will encoun- ter the earth in 1898 and the other in 1900, making, as Prof. Lewis Smith, the distinguished astronomer of Koch ester, N. r., says, considerable show CTS in those years also. Not only this, but it is stated on the same authority that many forerunners of the great shower may be expected to come with in the earth's atmosphere on Nov. 14, 1897, because many of the meteoroids are always considerably in advance of the main cluster. Prof. Swift says "the thickness of the meteoroidal stream is 100000 miles and the dura- ton of the sho- CT is equal to the time of the diagonal passage of the earth through it usually from midnight to dawn He adds: AS tIera is a light eh0we~cf Lelllles gEuIy November Te

The American Farmer is sincere In
what IL says and whenever It endorses
an article, be II machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want Dur readers TO believe that what
we say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For a year or more
there have been endorsements OF the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us TO
know il this company is responsible,
and IL its remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
STA, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc, real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis TO our former
endorsement of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some un~explainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But IL is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is a gentleman OF character and
personal integrity, and. we believe,
would no more attempt TO deceive the
public than the writer of this article.
They still offer 70 send a sample bot
tie OF "5 Drops" for Csc or a large
bottle. 500 doses, for 81, prepaid by
