SHOOTING STARS HARMLESS.
They Burn Out Before Reaching the
Earth's Surface.

From tho New York Sun.
The interval between great meteoric
showers is thirty-three years. But the
nature of the shooting stars is such
that they are peculiarly liable to per-
turbations, so called, caused by the
attraction of the planets. Within the
last 1900 years, indeed, they have
swung out of one orbit and into another
by the influence of the planet Uranus.
During the last period of thirty-three
years. it seems, they have been espec-
tally liable to perturbation.
1t Is necessary to understand the
Leonids as a stream of small particles,
no larger than grainst of sand-the
debris, perhaps, of a comet-fowing
continuously in a mighty orbit, which
annually, in the middle of November,
intersects the orbit of the earth.
Throught most of the length of this
belt the particles are only sparsely
scattered, but in one place they are
congregated in a vast swarm, with
relation to which the others may be
regarded only as stragglers. The
Leonids complete their orbit in thirty
three years time, and once in thirty
three years, therefore, when we enter
the part of the great swarm, We may
look for such display as that of 1888
or 1866. In other years we see merely
the stragglers. In time, of course
the particles will be scattered more
evenly through their orbit, since the
outer ones take more time to complete
the circuit than the inner ones, and
tend constantly to fall behind in the
race. But this is a matter of millions
of years, like so many other operations
in astronomy.
In passing through the orbit of the
Leonids We see only the particles
which are ignited by entering the
earth's atmosphere, some 100 or 200
miles distant. No Leonids were ever
known To reach the earth, the terrific
heat to which they are subjected burn
ing them out before they have ap-
preached nearer than fifty or sixty
miles. They are to be distinguished
entirely from the sporadic meteorites
which from time to time appear as
fireballs in the sky, and sometimes fall
to the earth before they are burnt out
in masses weighing thousands of pounds.
A shower of such as these would be
disastrous, while the Leonids are quite
harmless.

CONDITION OF The
NATIVES OF HAWAII
Decrease of the Race Has Been Stead
lily Growing for Several Years.
Annexation Will Probably
Have Favorable influence.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Washington, Nov. 19.-The decrease
of the Hawaiian race has been steadily
growing less rapid for the past severa
decades especially the female popula
tiOn, according to the annual report OF
eX-President Sanford B. Dole. cover.
nor of Hawaii. The increase of part
Hawaiians tends to keep down the
number of pure Hawaians. While the
figures show race progress, the census
reports as to surviving children are
discouraging. In both the censuses OF
1890 and 1896 the pure Hawaiian per-
centage of survivors was the lowest OF
all nationalities represented in the
islands. An encouraging outlook for
the Hawaiians exists In the fact that
out of 6327 owners of real estate in
1896, 1896 were pure Hawaiians and 72s
part Hawaiians. The facts are signifi-
cant as showing the ownership of hold
ings by so large n number of pure
Hawaiians, and the evident tendency of
the race to acquire hOmesteads. The
eX-president reports that there Is rea-
son to expect that annexation Is going
to influence Hawaiian character very
favorably through the changed condi-
tions effected. Their old dependence on
their chiefs has ceased and they are
forced to rely more on their own ef-
forts. The political privileges they en-
joy in common with other American
citizens. he says, will tend to educate
them in public affairs. The total valu-
alton OF real and personal property in
Hawaii subject to ad valorem assess
ment in 1900 is $07, ,491 ,5S4. The receipts
from taxes are estimated at S1,34l $50,
The commerce of Hawaii is shown for
the period between January and June
II. 1900, as follows
Imports, sl0,6ss,5l6; exports, $l4,49O,
4S6; customs revenue, s597S97. With
the exception of the production of
sugar, rice, firewood, fertilizers and
live stock and the promotion of irriga-
tion. the development of the natural
resources of the Hawaiian Islands is
stated to have scarcely begun. Rec
concentrations are submitted for legis-
lation thoroughly revising the Ha-
waiian corporation laws in view of
some deficiencies and questionable
features In the same and new condi-
tions since annexation; legislation for
appointment of various commissioners
for the protection of food fish: pro-
visions for education of children un-
able to pass the required medical ex-
aminations; for irrigation legislation
and for a general act covering muni-
cipal systems. The report says the

During the war with Spain, for
which our preparations were hur

p,ained that our transport service
was inferior, and their sympathy
for the soldiers was permitted 10
work overtime. Bat a few days
ago a democratic member of con-
grcss from New York took the
floor to complain that eXtrava-
ganoe was being practiced in the
construction and equipment Of our
army transports. The democratic
donkey doesn't stay hitched TO one
