VANGUARD OF THE LEoNIDs.
Four MeteOrs Observed at the Yerkes
Observatory.

WILLIAMS BAY, Wis, Nov. 12.-Prof
Barnard, who is constantly on watch at the
Yerkes Observatory, last night reported the
appearance Of four meteors, which he con-
sfdered as belonging to the Leonid group
without doubt, they being the first heralds
of the army soon to appear.
Prof. Barnard received yesterday from J.
A. Brashear, of Allegheny, Pa, three four
inch portrait lenses. to be used in the
Photographic telescope, by means of which
it is confidently expected the Leonid me-
teors can be photographed, and a most
satisfactory result is confidently antici-
pated. Prof. Barnard has also completed
a camera of his own invention which has a
remarkably quick action with which he
hopes to photograph some of the fastest
meteors in the approaching shower.

The Island of Tutuila, in the Samoan
group, which is to fall to our share in
the division with Germany, is small, but
not too small to point the moral and adorn
the tail of our horrible territorial aggres-
sions upon the soil of the footstool. We
are too far committed in the matter Of
Pago Pago Bay to withdraw from it. but as
to the rest of the islet, there is yet time
for the Boston junta to get up a small re-
bellion, and demand its surrender to the
amiable but down -trodden natives, who
cannot be otherwise than intelligent good
and capable Of government, when we
come to consider them in the light of their
fondness for missionaries-the chicken fed
kind. not addicted to tobacco, preferred.
As an illustration Of the irresistible con-
centrative race movement of the age, it is
instructive to observe that there is a Sc
rious proposition. apparently emanating
from Holland, to incorporate that State
in the German Empire. 1t is reported that
there were several conferences on this sub
ject during the recent visit OF Queen Viii
helmina TO Berlin, and that it is now under
consideration by the Cabinets Of the two
countries. 1t has become painfully evident
to the small and weak nations that the day
Of their safety, and perhaps usefulness, is
about at an end, and the coming years will
witness more than one definite movement
of the kind in question.

many, We are afraid that people as well as
pigs in other countries might adopt the
policy of imitation, which is the sincerest
nattery, as everybody knows.
American pigs and people might suddenly
become patriotic, and abandon the use Of
the escuIent horse in the shape of imported
sausage, and the zephyrous Neufchatel and
Limberger might knock at our doors in
vain. Even the pleasant vintages Of Cali
fornia, New York, and Ohio. after an in
vigorating trip across and back over the
AtlanticaI wave, and a taste of schnapps
in the Hamburg vinegar factories. might
be refused re-entry under a new Chinese
exclusion act. On the whole, We do not
fancy that the Kaiser viii feel like decoTat-
ing the pigs of Eidelstadt or that their cult
viii have much of a propaganda in the
Faderlaud
After all, there is word to say in kind
ness for the patriotism of the pigs. Al
though expressed in an humble and the
only way possible to their kind, in principle
it is patriotism after a manner, At least
it stands out in agreeable contrast with
the views and practices of the pigs in this
country who greediIy devour the dirt of
treason, and would tear up and swallow
their flag if they did not know that its
stars would stick in their throats and cut
them.
