MAIN SHOWER OF METEORS NOT DUE

Miscalculation as to the Time of the
Earth's Collision with the Thick
Part of the Trail.

WASHINGTON, Nov 1.-THE shower Of
leonids will not occur this season. The
brilliant spectacle has been announced one
year too soon" This announcement has
just been made by Dr. p. j. See, one of the
most advanced astronomers in the govern
ment's service. DIR. See has charge of the
twentysix-inch equatorial telescope at the
Naval Observatory. He intimated that he
will be able to reach a conclusion concern
ing the leonids based upon careful astro-
nomical calculations that would not har-
monize with the views heretofore held by
astronomers. He states with great posi-
tiveness that the meteoric display, which
has been mere sputter this year, will be
repeated at about this date in November
next year with brilliancy quite equal, If
not superior, TO any of the tri-century dis
plays with which the modern world has been
startled.
Astronomical calculations have not erred
as to the periodicity of the leonids" said
DR.. See, but the generally accepted conclu-
sion as to the time it takes the leonids to
pass the earths orbit has been wrong. After
the most careful observations made with the
best instruments in the service of the gov
eminent. and after the most unerrng calcu-
lations in strict conformity to astronomical
laws. L am thoroughly convinced that the
period of passage is two years instead of
one year, heretofore believed The
leonids have been within the earth's orbit
for year now, and will remain with us
for another twelve months. The meteoric
shower has not been heavy this time as
there was good scientific reason for believ-
Ing II would be. That is because We have
not yet struck the thick part of the trail
BY my calculations this collision will occur
In the middle of November, 1900 Then the
