SHOOTING STARS.
Millions to be Seen During This
Month.

Greatest Showers on the Night OF the

nificent Sight.
The sky will be ablaze with mete-
ors this month, especially during the
few days preceding and followi
November IA.
Hundreds Of persons who admire
ne various phenomena OF the heavens
are waiting impatiently for the COM
ng OF the November shower of stars,
Which, this year, will be OF surpass-
Lg beauty. Annually between the
9TH and 10th of November there are
occurrences OF these starry showers of
various degrees of spectacular attrac-
iiveness, but this time, according to
all signs, the heavens will take on a
degree Of wondrous beauty, outrival-
ing anything seen before.
Sometime between midnight and
dawn on November IA the myriad of
neteorites that make up the Leonids
will cross the orbit of the earth, and,
becoming ignited by the awful heat
generated in their fight through the
atmosphere of the earth, will sweep
through the sky, leaving a long lumi-
nous trail. Millions Of them will be
consumed in this flight and will leave
a lurid trail as they speed towards the
earth. The fact that they will be en-
tirely consumed before reaching this
earth saves the inhabitants from dire
consequences. Falling stars or the
wandering tramps of the universe, as
they are called, are familiar sights to
people. They come from no one
knows where, and go to the same
place, without aim, object or orbit.
But with the Leonids science is fami-
liar as with most of the heavenly
bodies. They travel in a definite or
bit around the sun and their coming
is prophesied with the same accuracy
that marks that of an eclipse OF the
sun. The Leonids take their name
from the fact that they enter earth's
atmosphere from the constellation
Leno, which, during the most bril-
liant part of the shower, will be
directly overhead.
The Leonids are believed to have
been at one time united body that
moved through space in the same or
bit now followed By the comet. The
theory generally accepted is that the
original body was disintegrated by
the heat developed in its course
through the sky. There was an ex-
plosion at sometime, which must
have startled entire space. The body,
it is thought, broke into millions of
fragments which still obey the mys-
FERROUS forces that held the body to a
certain course, and hence they fell
into line to become the mighty comet
soon to dazzle observers the world

GOOD PROGRESS.
Month of October Shows a Sat
isfactory Amount Of
Work Done
On Lock Number ten-More Progress
Expected Next Year-Improvements
will be Finished with Celerity-Lock
Five Still C.osed-Lock Valves for
Number Zen Ordered-O Other News.

Number Ten Ordered-Other News
The work on the lock here during
the>month OF October has been very
good and their estimate for the month
is several hundred dollars in advance
OF that of the same month last year.
This year it was considerably more
than seven thousand dollars. The
contractor is doing great deal OF
work and the conereting of the second
section OF the dam is going forward
as fast as the weather will permit.
Ii had to be stopped during the
rain however as the specifications do
not allow it to be done while the rain
is falling. The engineer in charge
expresses himself as well satisfied
with what was done last month.
However he intimates that next
year will see great speed made on all
Of the dams between this place and
Fairmont and the probabilities that
the improvements will be completed
To Fairmont soon are better than they
have been since the work began.
Moves are on foot that will result ia
the locks and dams being finished
sooner than they have been expected
to be completed even by the authori-
ties under the present way of doing
things.
The lock valves for number ten
were selected during recent visit TO
'Pittsburg and they will be shipped as
soon as they can be gotten through to
this place. They will be set as soon
as they arrive. They are immense
affairs weighing four tons each. The
large masses of steel and iron will be
very hard to get into place and it will
take some time to set them properly.
They cannot be gotten up the river
until Lock 8 is again opened. This
lock has been closed To navigation for
several days and everything is being
transferred at that point. 1t will be
opened again shortly and this delay
will be obviatcd.
1t was reported in town that the
Woodward was sunk at this lock but
no details have been received and in
quiry fails to show that any thing of
the kind has taken place and the ru-
NOR Is without foundation as far as
can be learned.

HARyARD'S ELECTIVES.
Athenaeum is Mistaken About The Mat
ter Says DR.. Turner.

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
In the current issue of the "Athe-
naeum" the following occurs:
''The West Virginia University,
following in the wake Of Indiana,
Cornell, Leland Stamford, Jr. and
Harvard, has adopted the elective
system to its fullest extent"
In another place in the same num-
Der it is said, "The elective system as
it prevails in the West Virginia Uni
versity is not purely or wholly cleo
tive."
The first of the above statements,
in so far as it relates to Harvard Col
lege is not true. Nor is it true as to
the Lawrence Scientific school of
Harvard University The facts are as
follows:
l. Harvard College has not abol-
ished the distinction between the de-
grees of A. b. and B. S. They con-
tinue the same as heretofore
III. Harvard College has not ssthrown
down the bars" in regard to its ad-
mission requirements. After a dis
c,tssion in the faculty lasting too years
during which the subject was gone
over In the most careful manner, the
following scheme was recently adopt
ed as the requirements for admission
to Harvard College and the A. b.
course.
a. The total value of all admis-
sion requirements is placed at 20
points; of these, are required of all
candidates for admission, namely,
English (4) Elementary Algebra (2).
(2) All students must present one an
Gent language(either elementary Greek
or elementary Latin) points; one
modern language (either elementary
French or elementary Germany 4
points; either plane Geometry (2) or
Geometry with some solid Geometry
(3); History (either ancient or English
and American) q; an observational
science or sciences elementary
physics ~, or chemistry ~; or phys
Biography, or Anatomy, Physiology and
Hygiene) 2 points. In all IL points.
81 Besides the above prescribed
studies and prescribed alternatives,
the candidate must present optional
SUBJECTS amounting TO points. tour
o ac'''ch must ee adpaaced subjects.
-four OF these eight must be chosen
from the alternative prescribed studies
with the ADDITION OF botany counting
2 points); and the other four from the
courses in these subjects,
with the addition 81 Astronomy and
Meteorology.
Ii any OF your readers will take the
trouble to compare the above with the
prospectus recently published by the
West Virginia University they will
see that there is very wide differ
ence in the two requirements, not
merely as to amount OF work but es-
pecially in the fundamental ideas on
which the requirements are founded.
III. The same general principles
are applied In the new requirements
for admission to the Lawrence Scien-
title School, which grants the degree

Things to Remember.

Never forget that women are made
out OF girls and that men are made
out of boys; that If you are worth
less girl you are a worthless woman,
and If you are worthless boy you will
be a worthless man, and the best edu-
Gated men and women once did not
know "a, B, C,' that all the things
which you are learning had to be
learned by them; that the efforts
spent in making Others happy will in
some way add to your own happiness;
that life of usefulness and helpful
ness is worth many times more than a
life of pleasure.

Another Glass factory is reported on
foot tor Morgantown. Local men are
said to be behind the movement but
when questioned they have nothing
to say for publication. They state
that there has been some talk done
about it but that nothing definite
has been accomplished.
On the other hand Others who
claim to be informed say that the
factory is sure go. That it will
employ two hundred hands and that
the money is raised to make it 60.
The location is given as just above
the Seneca plant on Beechurst. 9th.
er interesting details are given hut
these are denied by those who are
said to be on the inside
Be that as it may there is I'M
doubtedly something in the air and
we may before long have the desired
factory in full blast. 1t is stated
that the men who are behind it are
the same people who organized by
getting charter last year but they
will get together ssee.i.eess this time for keeps.
They will make pressed ware.
There is an opening for this kind
of factory here and the claim is
made that they have the needed
money subscribed. For some reason
or other they want nothing said about
their plans or the names of those who
are doing the work. They will do a
great deal for the town in case they
get the plans matured as they hope

may meet with the success that 1t
should meet with. The people of the

to advance the interests of the city
and they can be counted on to make
good any demands that may be made
on them.
