to begin tonight has awakened great
interest everywhere. and steps are be-
Ing taken to observe It nightly 1T
thousands of points. Many Norfolk
people who have telescopes will enjoy
the spectacle and Norfolk Is fortunate
in having large telescope here at pres
ent tzon Main street. In some places
series of photographs will be taken and
the results OF the camera work Will be
very interesting and perhaps of great
scientific value.
Special efforts Will be taken in the
stretch of country from Scottsville 10
the northern bridge of Albemarlc coun-
ty This section will be covered by six
observation stations at practically equal
distance, one of which will be the Lean
Observatory. Powerful
Cameras Will be erected at these sta
tons In order 10 obtain Photographic re-
cords of the larger and brighter me-
teors.
A subsequent comparison OF these
Photographic records will be made with
q View to ascertain the height at which
they are seen when they first enter the
atmosphere that encircles our planet.
It Is hoped that a comparison Of the
records may give results that will de-
termine the thickness Of the atmos-
pheric coat of the earth
1t is expected that the brightest dis
plays Will be seen tonight and to-mor-
row night, and that the maximum, win
be reached Wednesday between mid
night and Thursday morning
