Dipper, and almost simultaneously yellow
one shot in the opposite direction toward
Sirius, and a moment later faint one fell
to the horizon.
Il few very beautiful meteors were seen
by different observers on the morning of the
18th. One sprang from the radiant just az
it was rising and moved with decreasing
velocity quite across the heavens, leaving a
narrow steel-blue trail throughout its en-
tire length, visible for about hall minuta
Two fine ones passed through the Dippel
about l o'clock, both leaving trains, and q
magnificent one, almost a freball, shot
across the sky through Cepheus at 1880 a.
m., also leaving vivid train. Another very
brilliant one was seen by several persons al

servers for the trouble of rising, going to
good lookout and watching for them.
My observations were made from the hill
on Grand avenue, in the glare of electric
lights. A person located in the open coun.
try could observe to much better advantage
Yet the view of the star-spangled heavens
was very impressive. AS | gazed at that
magnificent group of brillants which the
Greeks named Orion, that belted and
epauletted giant with flashing saber and
leash of dogs, who, age on age, and con on

star-tpped horns of the angry Bull, could
not but reflect that if that wonderful pan.
Drama of mighty suns were concealed from
our view for generation and then on some
grand occasion the curtain were to be torn
aside and this peerless spectacle exhibited
to our gaze, we would cheerfully undertake
long pilgrimages if necessary, to obtain a
glimpse Of the wonderful scene, and would
eagerly consume the entire night in our
vigils. But here is this superb fresco nightly
painted upon the sky. The whirling earth
beIrs us forward to a splendid view of the
entrancing picture every twenty-four hours,

STAR-GAZERS REWARDED

In view of the popular interest in the re-
cent display of Leonld meteors summary OF
some of the observations reported will prove
valuable. 1t is natural that those who did
not read the forecasts attentively, and
therefore jumped to the conclusion that a
veritable meteoric shower was expected this
year, should be disappointed if they left
their warm couchcs during the small hours
OF the morning and stood shivcring Till day
light under sky that vouchsafed them only
a few streaks at infrequent intervals. Care
less or ill-informcd writers had pictured the
glores and excitement of sky full OF shoot
ing stars, but astronomers wrote cautiously
of the event and deprecated too high expec-
tations. In an article published in The
Herald November llth, regarding the prob
ability of shower, / used the following Ian
guage:
"The question cannot be positively an
swered owing to our imperfect knowl-
edge of several factors that will enter
into the production of the next shower
OF Leond meteors.
l also stated, referring to the forer,inners
of the great thirty-three year display, that
We are in some slight doubt whether
the grand shower will occur in 1889 or
1890, consequently we are not quite sure
if this year of grace (lS9S) is the near
est preceding year
/ then warned your readers that:
1t is best, therefore, for faithful
and enthusiastic observers to indulge in
very moderate hopes, remembering that
though the unexpected may happen, on
the other hand the expected may fail to
materialize.
When we reflect that the great meteor
stream which produces the Leonid showers
cannot be examined in any portion OF its
long journey through space like other
heavenly bodies which are either self-lumi-
nous or shine by reflected light, and that
all our knowledge of it is derived from the
evanescent flashes Of such particles as hap
pen to be intercepted by the earth's atmos-
phere in its annual passage through the in.
visible stream. it is by no means strange
that our knowledge OF the length, thickness,
density and precise form of the stream is
very limited and imperfect, and must con-
tinue to be so till astronomers have had an
opportunity to observe at least one more
series of showers like those grouped around
the years 1888 and 1867
Some few Leonids were seen on the morn
ing of the 18th, rather more than the normal
annual display. Between l:5O and :l5 a. m.
| counted seventeen meteors which pro-
ceedcd from the radiant in Leo, and as
many more from other radiants. The faint
Leonids were yellowish and the brighter
ones decidedly red. Nearly all the non
Leonids were white. Some Of the Leonids
did not flash up till they reached that quar-
ter of the sky farthest from the radiant
point. None that saw that morning left
a train, and their paths were generally
short. Two beautiful white meteors dropped
from the vicinity Of Gemini, almost perpen-
die itularly to the horizon, one on either side
of the Sickle and nearly tangential to its
curved blade. Presently red Leonid
darted north toward the Pointers in the

David A. Wells, Conversion

1t may not be generally known that the
late David A. Wells was brought to take the
ground he did in favor of low tariff for
this country by his Investigations abroad,
when brought into comparison with the con-
diton of our manufacturing at home. Mr..
Wells was appointed by President Lincoln
during the civil war to go to Europe to re-
port upon manufacturing as be found it
there While employed on this mission he
became entirely convinced that a liberal
framing of their tariffs was in the interest
of the United Statcs.--Boston Herald.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
Why the Navy Succeeded

The navy cannot be filed with political
commanders taken without training from
the office, the counter and the farm. To run
one of those intricate machines called war
ships, cruisers, gunboats, ETC., requires spec
ial technical knowledge possessed only by
those trained for the business. "A man alb
solutely untitled by nature and education
for military command may get along some
how as colonel OF a regiment or even as a
brigadier general but to put the same man in
command OF ship would be almost as wise
as to build fire in the magazine.-Minne-
anolis Times.

Keep Faith With Cuba

We do not doubt that the faith reposed by
Gomez in the American government will be
justified. Men Indifferent to the honor of

ton. Already there is an organized effort in
this direction But the masses of the Ameri-
can people will insist that the United States
shall act in good faith toward Cuba and en-
able its people to establish an Independent

Insurmountable Arguments

Two great unanswerable arguments
against the protective system have been
made with constant iteration: That it is
a gross misuse of the taxing power to pass
laws that enable private corporations to
thrust their hands into the pockets of the
people every time they are visited by the
Federal tax collector upon its lawful occa-
sons, and that by excluding competition
protective tariff begets monopolies that op-
press the consumer-New York Times.
