That agriculture and grazing are su.
preceding mining as the leading indus
try of Nevada, is fact Of which the
outside world is entirely ignorant, and
which the citizens of this State are slow
to comprehend. John Sparks estimates
that 300, 900 head OF cattle were shipped
from Nevada last year These alone
were worth as much as all OF the gold,
silver. copper and lead produced in the
State during the same period, without
taking into consideration the wool,
sheep, grain, hay, potatoes and butter
which our ranches produced and sold.
Yet the industry is practically in its
infancy. There are still thousands Of
ncres OF fertile land that can be brought
under water and cultivated, there are
still thousands OF acres already under
IRRITATION that can be made to produce
double v hat they do at present. To &C
complish the former, storage reservoirs
and the more economical use OF water
nre necessary. There is much talk OF
late about a Federal reservoir system
for the arid States, but much can be ac-
in this direction without
aid. The ranchers ofCar.
son valley and of Lovelock valley have
already taken the preliminary steps TO-

press censorship at Manila, sent by the
American correspondents a couple Of
weeks ago to President Mckinley:

The Colorado legislature, at It's last
session, passed a law prohibiting the
use of scrub bulls on the ranges. and
limiting the Use OF grades to half breeds
or higher grades OF the Hereford, An
gus or Shorthorn breeds, and further
limits their number in proportion to
the COWS. This Is a step In the right
direction and might well be emulated
by Nevada. A few progressive ranch.
ers have already seen the Importance
of breeding up their stock and have
imported thoroughbred bulls for that
purpose. After getting a good start.
however. they are compelled TO keep
their cattle under fence during the
breeding season, or run the risk Of
having their herds deteriorate again.
through the agency of their neighbors
scrub bulls running loose on the range,
while the neighbors' cattle, just as like
~ as not, get the benefit of the thor
oughbreds. A law like that in Colora-
do would be just to all, burdensome to
none, and in a few years would make a
marked improvement in the grade OIL
Nevada cattle.

NOVEMBER'S CELESTIAL DISPLAY

I American astronomer estimated the
number of Leonides with which our up
| per atm osphere was ablaze as quar-
| ter of a million.
AS the November meteors all
radiate from the pale yellow star
| Gamma in the constellation of Leo and
are otherwise distinguishable from 9TH
er shooting stars, the interest of the
spectators during the coming grand
display is not likely to flag. Those ap-
pearing near the radiant seem to be
stationary or to have very short tails,
while those further from Leo blaze out
in long paths, ana, as Professor Young
has pointed out, the Leonides are char
acterized by their great swiftness and
by greenish or blush tint, with vivid
and persistent trains.
But the most promising observation
of the phenomenon will be that which
preserves it ineffaceably in photo
gra phs. The recent application of
photography to the trails of light left
by shooting stars has already yielded
some very remarkable results. On
June IS. 1897, while the telescope Of
Arequipa was at work photographing
stars in the constellation Telescopium,
a brilliant meteor flashed across the sky
ana the lines OF It's spectrum (HlOSLly
lines due to hydrogen and resembling
those of stars having bright line spec
tra) were distinctly registered upon the
Photographic plate. Such photographs
and others that will be taken Of the
trails made by the Leonids appearing
this year will probably make it possible
to determine more accurately the i'm
mense orbit of the great meteor stream
around the sun.
w. F. Denning, the English astrono-
mer and the highest authority on this
meteoric display, points out in a recent
article irf Nature that perturbations
(due to the influence of Jupiter and
Saturn since the last shower of Leonid
fireballs in 1860 seem to have increas-
ed the node to the extent Of one and
quarter degrees; SO that the greatest in
tensity Of the display must be awaited
on the morning Of November 16, in the
twilight preceding sunrise" He is con-
fident that the earth will encounter
one of the richest regions of the orbit"
of the Leonid stream. though the exact
the brilliance of the spectacle will de-
pend on the hour of the collision. AS
astronomers all over the world will be
vigilantly watching for the missiles
from the great meteor-cloud from the
18th to the morning of the 18th, there is
no chance for bad weather to wholly
prevent observation.

Both in 1899 and 1900 the earth in
mld-November will plunge through the
richest section of the great ring of Leo
mid meteors, circling in an enormous
elllptical orbit around the sun, SO that
each particular meteor moving indie
pendently, and every part of the ring
completes its revolution in very nearly

est part of the ring cannot be less than
100000 miles wide, and is so extended
that, despite its very high velocity of
Al miles per second, it takes more than

II may seem as if this inconceivably
vast train, made up of small stony bod
les, is useless appendage of the solar
system. Unlike the planets and stars
which give light by night, that serve to
guide the mariner at sea, and are big
perhaps with possibilities of affordin3
habitation for future races of intelli-
gent beings, the meteor stream ordl-
narily emits no perceptible light, and
repeats for countless centuries it's ap-
parently aimless journey around the
sun. The meteors are opaque, being too
small to reflect any appreciate amount
of solar light, and only become visible
when ignited by friction with our upper
atmosphere. But when the swift Leo
mid stream interposes in the earth's
path that portion of its huge coil in
which the meteors are most thickly
aggregated Called 1.-The Gem of the

out with the vivid combustion of thou
sands of radiant shooting stars, and the
INDISPENSABLE illumination Of the skies
serves at least the one practicable pur-
pose Of signaling to the world that an
other third of century has taken its
flight.
The first great and well recorded dis
ply Of these fiery meteors was in 1883,
though astronomical literature traces
their fall upon our planet as far back
as the tenth century. The second took
place in 1866, and was serenely viewed
along our entire Atlantic seaboard
from p. m. of November - to a. m.
of the 14th. 1t was also well observed
in England, Sir Robert Ball reporting
