The following, by the school children,
were given the HERALD for publication
some time since, but have been crowded
over for want of space:
METEORS AND METEORITES.
Meteors are small bodies of iron and
stone travelling through space around
the sun. They travel at the rate OF
forty miles per second. It takes them
thirty-three years to make the circuit.
They are visible almost every night.
Sometimes they are as numerous as
twenty or twenty-five. They are some
times called shooting stars" and sire
balls.'
The meteors meet with the earth
about every thirty-three years, in No
vember, and then we have our mete-
ORIG showers. We had one in 1888
which was the grandest sight ever seen.
We had one in 1866. There was sup
posed to have been shower in 1899 but
as we think that the earth passed only
through the first part and that we will
have our shower next year. So you
may look for the shower next year in
November.
Meteorites are larger bodies of stone
and iron passing through space. When
they fall they generally reach the
earth not whole, of course, because they
are burning when they fall. Did you
ever think that when you see meteor
fall that it was star falling? And that
there was one star less in the sky? O.,
no, there will be just as many tonight
as there was two thousand years ago,
and there probably never will be any
born.

Stearns county, 1t was as large as d

Stars do not fall, if they should the
world would burn up. The meteors
look like falling stars as they go
through the sky every night.
The meteorites do not fall every
night. The meteorites are large rocks
with iron in them. 1t is thought that
they come from volcanoes or the
planets.
Meteors travel twenty to forty miles
a second.
When the meteorites reach the earth
they break in pieces. The one saw
was a meteorite. 1t weighed twenty
seven pounds.

METEOR AND METEORITE.

A meteor is as large as a marble
and meteorite is very much larger.
They travel forty miles second. We
should not call the meteorite and mete-
or shooting stars, because they are
not shooting stars. If star should
fall it would cover the earth and the
world would come to an end; that is
why they never fall. A meteor burns
up forty miles above us and SO it does
not reach the earth.
A meueorite is made of iron and steel.
We saw a meteorite yesterday in our
school; it fell ten miles out of town. 1t
dug hole two feet in the ground; it
did not cover itself over but it threw
the earth right off of it on each side.

METEoRs AND METEoRlTEs.

They are supposed to be parts of
comets or something out of the vol
canoes in the moon.
A small meteor is as large as a mar
BILE. If they fall to the earth they are
larger. The difference between met
cor and meteorite il that q meteor
is q great deal smaller than mete-
orite.
They travel about forty miles a
second. When they reach the earth
they have white glow, and the inside
is very cold while the outside is very
hot, because while they are passing SO
swiftly through the atmosphere the
outside is melted.
The earth has certain path and
the meteors have q certain path which
is larger, and when they meet we see
the meteors and meteorites, We see
showers of them every thirty-three
years. About one hundred thousand
fall every night.
A star Is sun like our sun, but
some stars are q great deal larger
than Others. If a star should fall and
reach the earth, the earth would be
burned up in second. Mr.. Stanton
brought a meteorite into our room
Yesterday. 1t was found by Mr.. Can r
and another man on Mr.. Baldwin g
farm. The meteorite spread the earth
around where it lay, so the men put
their hands under it and lifted it out,
The State University wants it. It
weighed twenty-nine pounds.

The Modern "Junius Letters"

San American Mother will con-
ceal the identity of one of the most
prominent women of the day in the
authorship of a series of singularly
FRANK articles about to begin in the
The Ladies' Home Journal. The arti-
cles will deal with the vital questions
entering into modern American wom-
anhood, and the directness of their
character is in way revealed in the
title of the first article, "Have Women
Robbed Men of Their Religion?"
which the writer boldly answers in the
affirmative. The series will then go
on and deal with the exact conditions
prevailing in girls colleges, reveal
ing an unusually keen insight, and
drawing some emphatic deductions
which will awaken unusual interest.

A METEORITE.

Mr.. Stanton brought a meteorite in
our room. 1t was up in the sky. 1t
fell down on the ground. twas heavy
and looked like iron. When it fell it
made big hole in the ground. 1t
was big enough for two boys to get in
it. 1t fell very fast to the ground.
When it got here it was very hot.

COUNTY HOMES FOR THE lNCURA-

Philadelphia Inquirer.

Philadelphia Inquirer:
The Inquirer has already called atten-
tion to DR., Detwller's paper read before
The Pennsylvania Medical Society show
ing the need for prohibiting by law the
marriage of the insane. The interest of
the paper is not confined to this sugges-
ton. made important by the facts with
which It was supported. From It we
learn that the insane population of the
Pennsylvania state hospitals Is 61i2
about 1880 above their capacity, and that
the Increase of the Insane at the observed
rate of 200 to 500 annually will fill large
hospital every three years.
Here we are face to face with most
serious problem. Are we to build new
hospital for the insane every three years
Shall we crowd them into existing hos
pitals? What are we to do? Today some
1880 insane In the state of Pennsylvania
are stored In iails. poor houses and other
unsuitable places because the state hos
pitfalls are already full to overhowing.
The last legislature undertook to meet
the situation by providing for county
homes. that is, by authorizing each
county to erect suitable buildings for the
shelter OF the insane poor and making a
per capita appropriation for their sup
port. These county homes are only for
insurable cases. Dr. Detwller says Of
his own knowledge as an official visitor
