FoRBIDS SHOOTING STARS"
But Lovers May Still be Blind to me-
teor's" Claims.

II Is hardly necessary to say that the
shooting-stars are not stars at all, as
the name seems to indicate. and as
people sometimes think. This was the
mistake Of the sailor on British naval
vessel, who had been set on watch dur
ing the star-shower OF 1866 to count all
the meteors he could see In a given
fifteen minutes. When his time was up
he begged to be allowed a minute
longer, because" said he. Il has my
eye on star that wiggles awful, and
can't hold on much longer"
Shooting-stars are only little masses
Of matter-bits of rock or metal, or
coudlets Of dust and gas-which are
flying unresisted through space Just
as planets and comets do, in paths
which, within the limits Of our solar
system, are controlled by the attrac-
ton OF the sun. They move with a
speed of several miles second, far ex-
