NOVEMBER SHOOTING STARS
They Are Dus ronsshs and Are Known
As Leonids.

The November shooting stars are, OF
course, recognized Institution, and are
due on November Is and IA each year
They are known as the Leonids. from the
position Of their central poiut in the con-
stsilation OF the Lion, and the numpef
seen In ordinary years would range from
fifty or one hundred 10 eight hundred or
one thousand. Ths Harvard Observatory
noted some eight hundred, for example,
last November. Bat what was expecteu
last year, ana Ia hoped for tonight, is
recurrence Of the magnificent displays
which were seen In 1893, 1888 and 1900,
when not hundreds but thousands and
tens of thousands shot into the earth .
In 1888 q oompetent observer
in Boston calculated that the number
amounted to gao, 600. seeming to the eye
to fall as tnickly az the fakes In q snow
storm. Il may easily be sssn how suoh a
display would rank with total eclipse
Of the sun as tine most spectacular Of the
phenomena.
The interval between thess great
neteoric showers is thirfy-three years.
But the nature of the shooting stars Is
such that they are peculiarly liable to
perturbations, socaiisd, caused by the at
traction of the planets. Within the last
1901 years, indeed, they have swung out
of one orbit and into another by the In.
nuence of the planet Uranus, During the
last period of thirty-ihree years, 1t seems.
they have been especially liable to pertur-
baton, and some astronomers who look
Cor the great shower to take place this
week ascribe the delay to this cause.

ICE JAM IN THE DELAWARE
STEAMER TWILIGHT AND TUGS
THOUGHT TO BIZ SAFE.

The well-known steamer Twilight,
about the safety Of which there has
been so much anxiety ever since she
became ice-bound in the Delaware river
near Trenton, n j., is now eaid by
several well-known rivermen to be be-
yond danger. She lies aground be-
tween two steamboat wharves, and is
held firmly in position by strong iron
cables.
The four Philadelphia tugs which
have been working two weeks to liber-
ate the Twilight are in safe position
and It is believed that the FIVE boats
will escape further injury. The Twi-
light has lost her starboard rail, and
has two holes broken in her starboard
wheelhouse The tugs have been dam
aged to some extent by contact with
the ice. AS soon as the river is clear
the boats will be removed for repairs.
The heavy downpour of rain on
Thursday afternoon and night turned
the Delaware river into a raging flood
The thick ice has been broken and
driven down the stream at a terrific
rate, and IN some places has formed
a great jam. The water in the Brandy
wine and Christiana creek was extra
high yesterday, and much small ice
was forced up the streams.
