would have been impossible TO detect even the
few meteors mentioned in the cable dispatches
A somewhat obscure statement comes from Nus
STA about the panic which was created In sew
eral villages by the meteorlc display. Crlucaliy
examined, some weak spots can be found In that
story and inasmuch as it is not corroborated by
definite tldings OF genuine shower elsewhere
in Europe and as it is asserted on recognized
authority that nothing whatever was seen IN
India Il is excusable to entertain little sceph-
cism in regard to the abundance of the meteors
which caused the alleged panic If the earth
really entered the densest part of the Leonid
swarm at all practically one-half of the globe
would be bombarded. and not merely a small
patch.
4 number Of theories have been advanced 10
explain the very limited character OF the display
this year Perhaps the most reasonable OF them
is that the swarm was not fully due at the time
when the earth crossed the orbit or the Leonlds.
The period of this famous celestial dust cloud is
officially put at thrty-three and quarter years
and II was a rather sanguine expectation per
haps. that anticipated the arrival OF the densest
part Of it this fall precisely sixty-sx years AFTER
the encounter Of 1888. However, the predic-
lions which the astronomers have made in re-
gard 10 the event were put IOT"dIu WIN Cdu'Ioh
and with reservations Nothing positive was
promised, though much was hoped for. The
movements Of the moon have been watched so
long and with such care that II is feasible 10
predict within a minute or even a second when
II will pass between the earth and the sun, and
TO say lust how much of the solar surface VIII
thus be obscured But 1t Is much more difi1cult
TO obtain the data wherewth to forecast a
meteor shower.
The chief scientific value of a meteor shower IS
the chance which it offers for studying the depth
OF the earth's atmosphere. meteor Is merely
n tiny bit of mineral matter, invisible and meal
culably cold, flying through space. AS soon as
It enters the aerial envelope Of the globe friction
almost instantly raises It TO incandescence. The
velocity of the Leonids Is greater than tEht OF
some other meteors. They have their own mo-
ton through space, and they meet the earth al
most head on" Hence the speed with when
they fly through the air is the result of the COM
bination of their motion and the earth's, and
they take fire at a little greater altitude than
other aerotes incidentally, something would
probably have been learned about velocities, TOO,
if there had been good display this year. Per-
haps these hopes may be realized. after ALL
only year hence.

THE MISSING LEONID SHOWER.

The failure Of the expected Leonid shower TO
appear in America last week was the source Of
much disappointment both to the astronomers
and to that portion Of the general public which
had become interested in the matter. For three
successive mornings In some part OF this country
or Canada few meteors were seen, but not all
OF them were Leonids. Some OF them proceeded
from other radiant points than the Sickle. The
display was only trlhe more brilliant than that
OF the average clear night in any other month Of
the year Nor was II essentially more impress
sive than the show Of last November. when
merely the advance guard OF the Leonids was
looked for.
European observers Jared but little better than
American. In England. France, Austria and
Germany n sharp watch was maintained and
the weather seems to have been fully as favora.

THE HORSE SHOW.

1t was evident at various times In the week
just closed that the Horse Show Of 1899 would
not excel the exhibitions of some former years
in glitter, distinction and brave array The
truth is that ii did not wholly equal in striking
features the best achievements Of some earlier
seasons, although its popularity was still eX-
tensive, and In several ways il was highly sue
cessfu Many Of the exhibitors boxhOlders
and spectators Of other days were absent be-
cause Of bereavements and there were con-
spicuous gaps in the ranks Of those who had
borne themselves gayly and been active In
making the week a series Of joyous afternoons
and evenings. Colonel Kip his death
bed while the show for which he had done so
much was in progress, and the thoughts Of his
associates were saddened. For various reasons
a greater number of well known New Workers
was missing from Madison Square than in the
Novembers when the Horse Show was the
most enjoyable gathering Of autumn life in the
city. but the society of the metropolis is not
yet weary Of these affairs, and the boxes in
1900 and IN succeeding years are likely 10 be
as well tenanted as they were five years ago.
Nevertheless, II must be admitted that the ex-
IRENE craze which at one time inspired so sharp
q competition for the choice OF boxes has mod
Grated. II has given place to a comparatively
quiet and well bred understanding that the
Horse Show is to be properly supported as one
Of the things which New-York ought TO keep up
for its own benefit and diversion, and for the
advantage and entertainment OF visitors to the
town.
