November MeteorIc Showers.

In Chicago and elsewhere in the
United States, persons interested in
astronomy are looking forward with
the greatest possible interest to the
meteoric shower of November. Prep
arations are completed in number of
private and other observatories for
elaborate observations. This will be
the second and greatest year of the
period during which tie earth
passes three times through or near
the Leonid shower, and il the condi-
tons are favorable it ID expected that
the observations will give result OF
great value to astronomical science.
Last year when the earth passed
through the front end of the comet,
many observation we're handicapped
by cloudy weather on the best night,
some only obtaining impressions OF
about 400 meteors. At Harvard how
ever, the results were satisfactory,
over 800 being obtained. This year

Of the comet and on the principal

night which will be that of the 18th,
the meteoric shower will present u

up until after midnight to watch for
it. Before midnight there will not
be much to reward the watcher. The
Harvard observatory is sending out
a circular with blank forms on which
to record the time, brllliancy, color,
etc, OF the meteors observed by the
astronomers and others all over the
country.-Chicago Chronicle.

A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
Willie Grlmn's Disobedience Nav
Cost Him His Life.

Cost Him His Life.
Willie Griffin, the 13-year-old son
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Griffin of
Garlic, met with an accident Sunday
evening that has already cost him
his loft foot and may cost him the
other, If not his life. From the in.
formation given ue, it seems that
Willie made practice of jumping on
and off the cars while liz motion in
the Carin yard. He had been re-
peatedly warned of the danger by his
father and others, but it had no effect.
Sunday evening about 6:3O, as the
yard engine was switching freight
cars. Willie followed his favorite pas
time and fell under the wheels of a
moving car. His left foot was caught
by the wheels and every bone crut he'd
so badly that the flesh chung to the
shoe when taken off. The wheels
passed over the heel Of the right foot.
crushing the bones and breaking
both bones Of the leg between the
ankle and the knee. In addition to
this his skull is crushed. His little
brother was with him at the time and
remained with him nearly an hour
until he was found by some OF the
yard men. Willie was unconscious
all this time, but when the men who
found him wanted to carry him home
he told them to take him to Mr.. Rut-
lodges as his father would severely
punish him for his disobedience if he
was taken home. He was taken to
MIR. Rutledge's and his parents mott
fed. DR.. Hood was sent for and
went down on freight train Sunday
night. When he got there he had the
boy removed TO his home and made
him as comfortable as possible. Yes
terday he amputated the left foot at
the ankle. The shock to the boys
system is 80 great that it is doubtful
if he RECEIVERS from his injuries and
the effects Of the operation. He may
yet lose his right foot, as the heel is
80 badly crushed that it is doubtful
il it can be saved.
We have given the particulars fully
i'll the hope that the boys of Elko
who make practice of jumping on
and off moving trains, will read it and
profit by the misfortune and suffering
that have befallen poor Willie Griffin.
Ii he lives he must endure months of
suffering and be a hopeless cripple
all his life. When giving us the par
ticulars this morning DR.. Hood asked
us to write them up fully and remark
ed: "lf you could only write it up as
l saw it yesterday the boys of Elko
would never jump on and off moving
trains again." We have endeavored
to carry out the Dr.'e wishes and
hope the boys will heed the lesson.
There is no blame attaching to the
railroad company on account OF the
accident. The boys father and the
trainmen had repeatedly warned him
OF the danger he was running. Had
he obeyed he would not now be hov-
ering between life and death.
He passed. fairly good night last
night and was still alive this fore.
