TIE NOVEMBER nErsoRs.

Ih0 month OF November II uKely
to be remarkable for its meteoric
showers. It is probable that q brilliant
display of the so-called "Leonids"
will occur in the early morning of
November Is and 16, and it is quite
possible that there may be second
shower on the evening Of the 23d or
oath, due to an encounter with the
meteoric swarm which follows in the
track of Biela's lost comet. Wheth-
er, However, both or either of
these will be visible in the
United States, is something which
cannot be positively predicted, even
leaving cut all consideration Of the
weather. While it is practically GER
tain that the earth will pass through
some portions of the Leonid swarm
on the 18th or 10Th of the month,
the data are not sufficient to deter
mine the precise hour OF Greenwich
time when the encounter will take
place, or how long it will last, SO
that we cannot say in just what part
of the earth the phenomenon will be
visible-whether in the Eastern or in
the Western hemisphere. On the
whole, the calculations thus far pub
lished indicate that the favored re-
gions are likely to be those that bor-
der on the Atlantic.
1t is hardly necessary to say that
the shooting-sta are not stars at all,
as the name seems to indicate, and
as people sometimes think. This
was the mistake of the sailor on
British naval vessel, who had been
set on watch during the star shower
of 1866 to count all the meteors he
could see in given fifteen minutes.
When lis time was up he begged to
be allowed minute longer, ''be-
cause" said he, 81 has my eye on
star that wiggles awful, and can't
hold on much longer"
Shooting stars are only little mas
ses of matter, bits of rock or metal,
or cloudlets of dust and gas, which
are flying unresisted though space
just as planets and comets do in
paths which, within the limits of our
solar system, are controlled by the
attraction of the sun. They move
with a speed of several miles Sec
ond, far exceeding that of any mil
itary projectile, but are too small to
be seen by us except when they enter
our atmosphere, and, become inten-
sely heated by the resistance they en-
counter, light up and burn for a mo-
ment, fer, to use Lord Kelvin's ex-
preston. body rushing through the

completely consumed in the upper
air, SO that nothing reaches the sur
face of the earth except perhaps a
little ash, setting slowly as an imper-
ceptible "smoke." Occasionally, how
ever, some mass larger than usual
survives in part the fiery ordeal, and
it's fragments fall to the ground as
specimens of the material of "other
