SHOOTING STARS.
Have been AscertAIned by
Astronomer.

The present state OF science does
not admit yet Of our knowing whether
The contact of the shooting stars and
serolites has had any effect at all on
the earth's motion. But we can as
sumo that in the process Of time the
amount Of shooting stars and meteors
viii decrease. For any given group OF
the former il is almost certain that il
was once more conspicuous than II is
to-day and that 1t is growing less as
the periodic returns pass on. or course
in this assumption we must take into
account variations OF density at differ
ent parts Of the steadily moving cur
rent variations which can produce
showers that are now more dense and
now more sparse. For this reason the
constant enumeration Of shooting stars
becomes quite important, since this
alone viii teach us in the long run
whether or not the phenomenon is re-
ally losing In richness, and IL il is 10
what degree and under the sway Of
what laws.
When shooting star breaks into
lame In our atmosphere, the residuum
OF the combustion remains in the air.
and can be found in what is known as
atmospheric dust The virgin snow Of
the polar regions was often seen 10
be spotted with traces Of dust which
contained particles Of iron. Like parti.
Giles are found on church towers and
elsewhere. Among the minute bodies
that dance In the suns rays there are
certainly particles OF shooting stars.
The sands Of the African deserts when
examined by a microscope present
traces OF very small iron particles
which seem to have been subjected to a
high temperature. and the Challenger
on it's remarkable trip in the Atlantic
found at times in its drag-net frap-
ments Of magnetic iron which we have
every reason TO believe fell from the
sky. Sir William Thompson Iord Ke.-
VIM and Richter have even seen in the
aerolites the disseminators Of the
germs Of life throughout the universe

ARMY SIGNAL CORPS.
General Greely's Official Report of
Service of His Department
He BIames Gen. shafter for the Fall
ure of the War Balloons at santi-
ago-How Cervera's Fleet
Was Found.

Brig. Gen. A. W. Greedy, chief signal
officer, has presented TO Secretary
Alger his report of the operations OF
the signal corps during the recent war
with Spain. In the first section of his
report Gen. Greedy devotes particular
attention to the organization of the sig
nal corps for the war.
Gen. Greedy discusses at length the
physical difficulties of maintaining
communication by wire in Cuba during
the Santiago campaign, but points out
that at all critical periods of the cam
paign Gen. Shafter was kept in direct
communication by telephone with his
subordinate commanders, the lines be-
ing uninterruptedly maintained under
an almost constant fire of the enemy.
Special stress is laid upon the value of
the signal corps facilities in directing
the fire of the naval vessels. Gen.
Greedy then says:
Concerning this telegraphic and tel
ephonic service, which did not fall with
in the plans of the major general com
manding the Fifth army corps, and
for which he made no provision, the
chief signal officer of the army feels
IL incumbent upon him to point out
its absolute military necessity and
value, and to indicate the extraor-
binary risks which any general com
manding a detached army, especially
one serving on foreign soil, assumes
when he leaves himself unprovided
with telegraphic and telephone facil-
tiles"
Gen. Greedy strongly commends the
use OF the war balloon, and declares
that its utility was thoroughly dem
onstrated. Concerning the criticism
made of the balloon operations at San
tiago, he says;
"The forcing of the signal corps bal
loon TO the sldrmish line, where its po-
sition is reported TO have caused Sc
rious loss to the troops by disclosing

At length, as II his soul could bear

opened the door, and looked all around

times he called out

CHAPTER XIV.

And so, as he grew in years, drink
ing became a confirmed habit in him.
Byand-by he found it was almost
necessity. Until he had stimulated him
self for the day he was wretched and
almost incapable of attending to his
duties. By night he was generally in
toxicated; and on such a night, while
sleeping off the fumes of his intem-
pei dnce, he had fallen a victim 10 that
horrible accusation.
The noise of the men in the huts
had ceased. great stiffness seemed
to have set in, and the very silence
yet to go to bed.
Having piled more wood upon the
fire he proceeded to make himself COM
Portable for the night Upon the
wooden bunk or bedstead, which had
been made with rough planks and up
rights driven into the earth, there was
an ample supply of dry fern and heath
er which had served as a mattress for
the previous occupants of the hut This
Luke had proceeded to shake up, so
as to render it more comfortable, for
it was hard and closely pressed from
being in use for some time.
In doing so. he suddenly starte 1

the bed? A snake?
/ Selling a stick, he advanced care

4 Taking 1t up, he carefully examined it;
and. upon the inside, he beheld, plainly
marked in ink" r. L." the initials OF
his brother.
How had 1t come there? Bob Luke
had been in the hut then, and the belt

DAUDET'S CHILDLIkE NATURE.

Passionate Desire to Live, Act and Enjoy
Without Intermission.
| beg to insist for a moment upon the
childlike nature of Daudet's character
says Pail Mall Gazette. 1t is true that
everything seems to have been said in
praise of Daudet. All the forms of
eulogy have been exhausted in emu
merating his great and luminous quail
tiles But l have not seen noted in
any of the studies of the novelist this
striking feature of his character. Dau-
Diet was child, a marvellous child, eX-
ceptionally gifted and possessing all
the beautiful and adorable qualities of
confidence, generosity, fe-
verish imagination and a passionate
desire to live, to act, to enjoy, with
out intermisson or cessation. And to
the end of his life, although riveted
to his armchair, Daudet gave the best
advice, showed us how ardent was his
passion for justice and humility, and
made us share with him the joy of liv-
ing by ideas. If | insist upon this
childlike nature of Daudet's character
1t is because l assign to this trait the
place of honor; it is to the artless ma
lures, to children and to enthusiasts
that we owe all great progress, splen-
did ideas. marvellous inventions, gener-
GUS and charitable impulses.

the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth Of

seems to have become fixed in the minds OF
strangers, crowding out all know edge of
her wonderfully fertile soil Little thought
is ever given to the 12,e09 miles of irriga-
cation canals that have been constructed,
and the 2, 900, 600 acres of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eightyoue special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds of fruit
and produce The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached 81 900, 900
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in the output of
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth handsome and pro-
