the meteoric bodies composing the Leonids
revolve around the sun in about thirty
three and one-fourth years in an ellipu-
cal orbit whose nearest approach to the
sun is about the same as that of the. earth,
and extending into space somewhat beyond
the orbit of Uranus. Indeed, there is very
good grounds for thinking that the planet
Uranus is responsible for the presence Of
these meteors in our system now. In the
year 126 A. D., Uranus was in that part
of it's orbit then intersected by the orbit
of the meteor stream entering our system
then perhaps for the first time. The great
mass of the planets exerted such a pull
upon the meteor stream as to change its
orbit from a parabola TO an ellpse, and to
change the direction of the meteors around
the sun from the direct to the retrograde.
They were thus captured BIZ Uranus, and
ever since they have been held in bondage
by the lordly sun.
If these meteors ever were a compact
cometary mass sufficient time has not yet
elapsed TO permit the tidal effect Of the
suns attraction 90 distribute the particles
uniformly around the orbit as in the case
of the August meteors, but the meteor
swarm is stin confined in extent not ex-
ceeding one-tenth the length of the whole
orbit. This accounts for The fact that the
earth encounters the meteors in great num-
bers only once in thirty-three years. The
earth does indeed pass through the orbit
Of the motors every year about Nov %,
but unless the gem of the ring" as the
densest part Of the meteor swarm is called
passes this intersection point az the same
time with the earth, but few meteors are
seen. In fact for two or three years pre-
ceding and following the passage Of the
main body of meteors more ttlan the usual
number Of meteors Is seen, proving that
the meteor swarm is extended some dis

of eighteen miles a second, and the Leonid
meleors move at the rate Of twentysix
miles a second in their orbit. But tho
earth and the motors move in opposite
directions, and hence the relative veloc-
uy with which the Leonids Will strike our
earth is forty-four miles second. This
Is about 100 times as fast as the swiftest

laws Of physics that the heat developed by
a body impinging upon our atmosphere,
even in It's higher and rarer regions, with
such a great velocity Is more than suffi-
Client TO met any substance known. The
average hight at which they appear in our
atmosphere Is seventy-four miles, and the
hiaht at which they disappear Is abou,
fifty miles. Aside from any special occa-
sions. as the dates Of meteoric showers
the daily fall of meteors upon the earth is
very great On the average one observer
can see from four to eight meteors every
hour on any night, and several observers
can see about thirty every hour from the
same station. This gives per day for the
whole world about 100000 visible to the
naked eye. The number which enter our
atmosphere invisible 90 The naked eye must

Twenty-four of the known chemical ele-
ments have been found in meteorites, and
what is very significant, not a single new
element has been discovered in them
Just where they come from or what is
their origin is not known. Certain 1t is
that they belong to the great ocean of
space in which moves the visible uni
verse.
One of the most important astronomical
discoveries of the present century is that
which Identifies the orbits of meteoric
streams with the orbits of lost comets.
This would seem to indicate that comets
are but aggregations OF meteors which are
gradually separated by the tidal effect or
the suns attraction and scattered in time
along the entire orbit
According to this theory, the meteors
which are soon to be seen were once
comet in a closely compacted mass revolv-
ing around the sun in an orbit whose peril
helion was near the earth's orbit. This
comet gradually became dis.ntegrated, and
the small particles constituting the mass of
the comet became scattered along the or
