METEORIC SHOWER, A YEAR
LATE, MAY COME TO-NIGHT

Old earth will tonight enter the
path of the mighty trail of dust kicked
up by the sun in its eternal fight, and
the contact with myriad fragments
will occasion the phenomena popularity
called falling stars" The suns dust
trail is composed Of numberless parti-
cles. some no larger than grains of
sand, which are supposed to be frag-
ments of comets, or of a lost planet,
said by some astronomical authorities
to have been crushed to bits by an
awful convulsion OF nature.
These fragments are set ablaze by
friction when they come into contact
with the earth's atmosphere, and thus
are made visible. They are as uniform
in their course as the neon or any
planet. It takes this mighty wheel of
matter thirty-three years to describe a
complete circle. At a certain point the
dust is exceedingly dense, and when
the earth hits this densest part three
times a century there occurs the more
interesting phenOmenon-a meteoTi'
shower.
The calculations of astrono-
mers showed meteoric shower
was due to occur on the nigh
of oNvember 49, 1899, but it failed to
appear, and the elaborate preparations
that had been made to record, photo
graph and examine the display repre-
sented so much time and money lost
Some astronomers insist that tn
course of the suns dust trail must hav
varied, and those so persuaded vii
watch tonight and during three sue
cessive nights for the delayed metori
display.

,,yrpp,oR OF UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER.

Our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our natlohal
policy is to be one of territorial expan-
sion. or whether we are to remain aloor
from international complications, Is the
supreme question confronting our Con-
press. The attention of the world is d1-
rected toward us. The deliberations OF
eur Congress have come to be Of inter
national Importance.
But this consideration AFFECTS only
orr external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
US that relate only to home interests.
Chief among them is the health of our
people. Catarrh has already become
national curse. It's ravages extend from
ocean to ocean. More than one-half of
the people are affected by it. 1t has be-
come such serious matter that it has
passed the boundaries of the medical
profession and become a national ques-
ton. Senators are talking about it;
Congressman are discussing it. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease, but the
possibility of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
