A SHOWER.

If the nights of the 14th and
18th of November shall be clear
one or perhaps both of them VIII
reveal a splendid spectacle. AS
tronomers have calculated that at
that time the earth will pass
through a meteoric belt, and that
a greater shower of aerolites will
be seen where the conditions are
favorable.
There are several theories of
meteors and their fall.
One is that they are fragments
of comets which have been
wrecked. They shoot through
space at a speed of abouttwenty-
five miles a second, and this
great velocity cause them to
ignite, as they are not beyond
the volume of air which SUR
rounds the earth. Meteors fres
quently fall to the earth, in rare
instances in solid mass, but usus
ally in a fine powder which is
left from their combustion in the
air, There is always an album
dance of meteors in our ats
mosphere. the number which
traverse it being millions every
day. But on November IA and Is
the metaoric procession will be
far thicker than usual, and 1.-THE
astronomers have predicted cors
rectly we shall see multitudes of
them rushing and blazing above
US.
This is the season for meteors
and on any fair night half a
dozen or more may be seen by
those who have the patience TO
watch for them. But next month
we will have a gorgeous display
In the heavens, and nobody should
forget the dates set for if.

sue a special supplement cover
ing the industrial progress to

will deal broadly with the found
alton of natural resources on
which Southern development
rests. We believe that this sup

the interest of the South,s mater

to cover as briefly but as compre-

telling facts regarding what has
been accomplished and what the
prospect for the future. in order
that the busy man may grasp the
whole subject without wading
through au undigested mass of
uninteresting articles.

u
nation. and it is obvious that
such decisions could only be
rendered by wise aud astute
jurists. Well, is this great law
making editice in which we have
assembled this evening worthy
of it's motto; "Sdlus populi su-
prema ieXesto.' If the supreme
law is the safety of the people,
then | say Missourians, we are
in the Vanguard state of the
Union. Missouri has always
been an asylum for the citizens
of her sister states. A few DAYS
ago when the precious blood Of
human iaborers was flowing
through the streets of Virden,
Missouri, on hearing of this
great crime and insult to JUS
tice and humanity, spoke in the
language which has always
characterized her and said: "All
of you who are able may come
unto me and [ will care for you"
Then that great municipality of
st. Louis lowered them with
her strong arm of protection
and gave them food and shell
ter, and the Chief Magistrate of
Missouri said they should not
leave Missouri's soil until after
having been properly cared for.
This brings to our minds the
beautiful and patriotic language
of Hon. j. S. Rollins, who so
ably represented Missouri, in
the National House of Repre-
sentatives and who Wien refer
ring to Missouri said: "Oh! let
ours be the chosen land where
the weary wauderer shall di.
rect his footsteps and where he
can enjoy the blessings of peace
and freedom" Just as the hills
of ancient Greece SO beautifully
decorated by nature, inspired
the poets of that age, just SO do
the laws of Missouri inspire
good citizenship. Missouri has
the best school laws OF any
state in the Union and for that
reason has the largest cash pub
lie school fund of any state in
the Union. This is based upon
the clause of MisSouri's Consti
tuition which says: "a general
diffusion of intelligence is es,
sential to the rights and safety
of her citizens" What intelli,
