A Description of IA shower.
Sir Robert S. Ban of England has de-
scribed his view as follows:
The night was fine; the moon was alb
sent. The meteors were distinguished not
only by their enormous multitude but
by their intrinsic magnihcence. ! shall

duty, at that time, of observing nebula

spectacle so soon 10 be unfOlded 1t was
about 10 O'Clock at night when an excla-
nation from an attendant by my side
made me look up from the telescope, just
In time to see fine meteor dash across the
sky. 1t was presently followed by another,
and then again by others in two and
threes, which showed that the prediction
of a great shower was likely TO be verified.
Al this time the Earl of Rose Chen Lord
OXmantown) joined rae at the telescope,
and, after a brief Interval, we decided to
cease our observations of the nebula and
ascend to the top of the wall OF the great
telescope, from whence a clear view OF the
whole hemisphere of the heavens could be
obtained. There for the next two or three
hours we witnessed a spectacle which can
never fade from my memory The shoot
ing stars gradually increased in numbers
untn sometimes several were seen at once
Sometimes they swept over our heads,
sometimes to the right. sometimes to the
left, but they all diverged from the east.
AS the night wore on the constellation OF
Leo assembled above the horizon, and then
the remarkable character of the shower
was disclosed. All the tracks of the me-
teors radiated from Leo. Occasionally
luminous trains would linger on for many
minutes after the meteor had flashed
across, but the great majority of the trains
in this shower were evanescent. 1t would

OF meteors were seen, each one of which

chicago. Oct. 13.-The Chicago School
BOARD has begun an innovation which may
hiring about sweeping reforms in the whole
American school system. Not satisfied
with watching the mental development Of
the children in its charge, it has gone
,hout the study of their physical develop
rnant with minute care, in the belief that
brain growth in school children is much
more strongly influenced by their physical
condition than has hitherto been realized
II the plan works out as it at present
seems likely to, the grading of pupils and
f,e matter of co-education in public school
will be greatly affected. Many children
now accepted as students villa be sent TO
their homes for physical care, and many
who are now regarded as being stupid in
their studies will, through the co-opera-
ton of the scientific school examiners and
the pupils own family physicians, be
brought to a condition where their minds

VINO are not in good shape physically, and
il has been found in practice that the ergo
graph at once reveals the nervous child,
the child of highstrNlg temperament and
the child with irregular capacity for
work. Thus the ergograph is supposed to
indicate nerve power rather than muscu-
lar strength. Singlar as it may seem,
the results obtained appear 10 bear out
this notion, since it is not at all unusual
for a person of delicate physique and with
a comparatively undeveloped muscular
system to make better showing than a
far more muscular individual.

All through each school day an inter

years of age passes into the library from
the various grades while another process
sion moves constantly away. No one OF
the children remains in the library long,
but, while there, each is measured and
weighed and tested in half a dozen ways,
thus unconsciously playing a highly i'm
portant part in one of the most interesting
after day developments in the science of
education. The measuring and Weighing
and testing are all parts of carefully
thought out scheme For the time being
the little library is the laboratory of the
new department of child study and peda-

New York, Oct lS.-If the predictions
OF astronomers prove to be correct. the
heavens on the evenings of the 14th and
18th of November will present an inspir
ing and dazzling display of meteors. AS
tronomers are looking forward to the
event with great interest, and many prep
arations are being made in the observa-
tories of the world with view to secur-
ing more complete knowledge of this pc

telescope observations and elaborate pho

many new things about these strange ce-
lestial visitors from the, unknown realms
of space into the atmosphere of the planet
on which we live. No such display as is
expected In November has been seen since

why and Wherefore.
Similar study of children has been car
ried or in the past in many places and by
many investigators, but never before I'M
der the auspices of a municipality or state
as part of the regular educational system
or in conditions making II poss bic to study
a large number of children by exactly the
same methods of a considerable period. The
establishment of the department in con-
necton with the Chicago school system
was brought about by the efforts of DR.. w.
S. Christopher a member of the Chicago
School Board whose speciality as a ply
stefan is the treatment of children, ana
who has been convinced for years that the
efficiency of the public schools everywhere
could be increased vastly, were careful
and scientific scheme of child study TO De
inaugurated.
DIR. Christopher's view, shared by many
eminent educators by the way, Is not
that the measuring and testing are or
value in themselves 10 the school depart
ment but that considered in relation 10
age and class standing, they may be mace
the basis of deductions which will suggest
highly useful changes In the grading OF
the children and in the school courses
themselves. This view seems borne out
with special force by the records obtained
in one of Chicagos ungraded schools. only
pupils who are backward in their men
tai development are sent to this school.
Hitherto their low standing has been at
tributed to obstinacy and viciousness in
MANY instances. but the records show
clearly that backwardness may be, and
frequently is. due to physical causes, the
low mental status of the child being ac-
