A Meteor shower Next Week.

There is a certain place in the heavens
where meteors or shooting stars are
continually fving and have been for
over a thousand years. The earth in its
orbit passes through this space once in
33 years. BY reason of its dIurnal revo-
luton they are sometimes seen In
Europe and sometimes In America. In
1893 we have report of them from
London. Many accounts were published
of their appearance Nov. 10, 1893. \
Pennsylvania paper says; "From -
o'clock to the dawn of day the air was
filled with innumerable luminous meteors
or falling stars of various sizes and
darting apparently from different
heights The sky was streaked with
flashes of meteoric fire, necessarily re-
peated in every quarter. Hundreds of
thousands of brilliant bodies might be
seen flying at every moment, all having
the same general direction, sloping
towards the earth and resembling flashes
of fire. 1t might be literally called a
rain of fire." The meteoric shower pre-
dicted for 1866, though unobserved In
America, was of extraordinary brilliancy
meteOrs at the rate of considerably more
than $500 per hour. In fact for one
hour 1t was impossible to count them.
At gross approximation only it may be
stated that about o'clock the stars fell
at the rate of $3.50 per hour. The earth
passes through this vast body of meteors
next Thursday night, Nov. 16, between
II o'clock and daylight. If it should be
a clear night and the wanderers appear
In full splendor, it will be In order for
