Number Of Telescope Meteors.

Every observer notes considerable
number of small meteors while ne Ia
engaged In tlescopic observation. The
field of view Of telescope Is very
small fraction OF the whole surface OF
the heavens. A simple proportion has
ed on the number Of observed meteors
enables an estimate Of the number OF
meteors In the whole sky to be made.
This estimate has been made by DR.,
See of the Naval Observatory at
Washington, who concludes that about
100, 100000 telescope meteors APP
pear In the whole sky daily About
ten 20 fifteen million meteors bright
enough to be visible to the naked eye
encounter the earth daily. according ia
the calculations OF Prof. Newton. Most
of them are consumed in the atmo
sphere. The increment Of the mass oil

Street Isakir.

A street fakir did good business In
this place selling spoons Friday evening.
He advertised free show aud not quite
all the small boys In town were present
to see the performances but the only
show there was about IL was large
amount OF cheek and the fakir's ability
to sell spoons. The fellow put on bold
front to intimidate any person that
might have had an inclination to dis
turb him during the evening. He
flourished large revolver, blowed
about his skill as marksman and
promised to give an exhibition In that
line during the evening, but he failed to
do so. The fellow claimed to be travel
ing through the country advertising
goods for large silver firm and prom
ised to give every person spoon free,
and just as he was ready to throw
spoons TO the crowd he pretended he
heard some person say he could give
the spoons away, but could not sell them.
He was saucy about the (supposedl fell
low sticking his nose into other peoples
business, and just to show him that he
could sell the spoons he got half dozen
or more fellows to buy half dozen of
spoons apiece, with a promise that he
would make 1t all right with them, and
he did so by giving them back their
money. This was bait and it worked
successfully. While trying to sell more
