Tue shower of meteors predicted 10y
astronomers to be seen on the 18th and
14th did not appear. A few stray ones
fell III different parts of the country.
Another shower has been predicted
for the 9th and 2Sth, call the andre
NEEDS because they shoot from the direc-
tion of a point near the star Gamma, in
the constellation Andromeda. These
meteors are thought to be the debris OF
the ''lost" comet of Biela, which was
last seen in 1852. The orbit Of Ills
comet passed very close to that of the
earth, and annually when the earth
crosses it, near the end of November,
meteors are encountered, which at inter-
walls OF six or seven years-in the years
in which the comet is due, according to
calculation-are remarkably numerous.
The last shower" of the Andromeds
occurred in 1892. The next is due this
year. On November 81, ADdromeda Is
nearly overhead at 0 p. M. Meteors be-
longing To this system, seen at about
that hour, will appear TO drop from a
