Have Been Pulled Out Of Path by
Other Planets.

| Astronomers in various parts of the
country win be tonight in. expectancy
watching the heavens for the magni-
fcent shower Of leonids which they
say is due.
This is the most absorbing astro-
nomical question of the year, and the
meteoric display, If 1t should come,
would be truly magnificent thing.
There have been some magnificent dis
plays of these shooting stars in the
past, but not all men of science look
for the display with any degree of
enthusiasm, as they are very liable
to disappointment.
At Harvard university, Cambridge,
Mass. Prof. Pickering and a corps of
assistants know no such word as doubt,
and they have made elaborate plans to
photograph the shower.
The three years in which the great
meteoric displays are recorded are
1893, 1888 and 1866, and in each Of
these years the display came in No
vember. 1t is said that in 1888 the
number of these leonids which de-
scended to the earth was 100000.
From this it will be appreciated that
the display, If it should come, would
be wonderfully brilliant spectacle,
equaling almost total eclipse of the
sun.
In Cleveland John N. Stockwell is
looked upon as the most thoroughly
versed man in astronomical affairs In
the city. Mr.. Stockwell Is not much
enthused over the prospects of this
brilliant spectacular effect as some of
the astronomers in the east. What
he says Of the display in the past and
the possibilities for one in the future
is here given.
"In 1903 Humbold saw a display of
the leonids in South America In 1882
and 1888, as we'll as 1885, they were
seen in the United States and Europe.
Since then they have been promised
for 1897, 1898 and 1899, but none of
these years witnessed the shower.
There are, however, few nights but
what the individual meteors may be
seen some place in the sky.
"The great showers have visited the
earth on but three occasions and feel
that the great source of supply has
been exhausted. The way they ac,
count for the showers is that they are
the fragments of comet. In 1887
famous comet approached very near
to the earth's orbit. In 1881, 1882 and
1888 there were an unusual number
of meteors. The greatest shower was
on Nov. IS, 1888.
IF the meteors were produced by
the revolutions Of a comet around the
sun it would seem to have period
of about thirty-three years. Hence
they were expected to appear in 1890,
but they failed, Because Of the failure
of this splendid display promised as,
tronomers have been led to believe that
the cometary material has been ex-
hausted and that no further return of
meteors can safely be predicted.
Astronomers have reason to believe
that the cometary material has been
dissipated in space, and consequently
they lose their identity as individual
bodies after few revolutions. This
is known to be the case with Biela's
comet which appeared in 1882 as
single body, and in 1916 1t also appear
ed single when first discovered, but it
was also observed to divide itself into
two fragments, each of which pursued
an independent path through the

WHIPPING AHEAD OF THEM

From the Evening Journal.
There is feeling of uneasiness in the
Salisbury Free Silver faction in Kent
county. One week from next Saturday
the Democratic primaries will be held
down there, and the Smyrna Call makes
pathetic appeal to the voters to come
out for the occasion. 1t raises the warn
ing cry that "there are rumors ahoat that
the little Palmer and Buckner family is
remarkably active" and admonishes the
Salisbury Free Silver men that they had
''better have an understanding with
them once tor ALL" 1t says that "Nlr.
Neary's little outfit is remarkably clever
and slippery, and they rely on knocking
out hayseeds by parliamentary tactics. :"
The Call wants strong men sent to Dover
to represent the Salisbury and Free Sill
yer faction III Kent. 1t wants linen who
are familiar with parliamentary rules,
and who have mouth enough to put ur
a stiff game"
To bring the matter into concrete form
the Salisbury people see a good whip
ping ahead OF them in Kent, and they
are trying to stave it off. They see tht
lash of the Bayard- Grav-W Wolcott- Biggs
combination raised over them there, anC
they are ayerse to having it fall with New
Castle county effect.

the conference, but did not attend. He
said:-
"Far from rejoicing at what appeared
to some as a beautiful exhibition of

ancholy confession OF practical dlscord
and real variance. The spirit of those
composing the heterogeneous assembly
may have been faultless as to charity,
but there were present too many evil
dences OF determined and apparently
irreconcilable differences to enable the
spirit to atone sufficient for the grievous
wounds on the body of Christ by reason
OF their differences.
"The spectacle of so much diversity oi
preaching the Gospel and of so much
multiplicity OF organizations is not only
stumbling block in the way of Chris
