Number of Telescope Meteors.

Every observer notes a considerable
number of small meteors while he is
engaged in telescope observation. The
field Of view Of a telescope is a very
small fraction Of the whole surface of
the heavens. A simple proportion
based ON the number of observed me-
teors enables an estimate Of the num-
Der 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 1900, coo, 900 telescope meteors
appear in the whole sky daily. About
ten to fifteen million meteors bright
enough to be visible to the naked eye
encounter the earth daily, according
to the calculations of Prof. Newton.
Most Of them are consumed in the at
mosphere. The increment of the mass
Of the earth Is extremely small.

IN The CYCLE CLUB.
A Keen but Friendly Rivalry after
the Office of President-Elect on
Tuesday Might.

The members of the Carbondale cycle
club have been discussing for several
weeks the probabilities or the sem-an-
nual election. scheduled to take place ut
the club house tomorrow evening.
AS this is the eve of election there is
an intense interest among the clubmen.
perhaps II greater interest and activity
than have ever been manifested in Il
club election. The presidency is the
chief element of interest. The rivalry
for this office while it is between only
two candidates. Isaac Singer and Jacob
Fuchs, is keen withal the most friendly.
The club is an important factor in the
social life of Carbondale and to be at
it's head is no small honor. That the
office should stir up such a friendly
contest as is on is no small wonder. An
exceptionally large attendance is looked
for, Tomorrow evening. 1t is expected
that the abSentecs will be exceedingly
few. The retiring president. it will be
recalled, is George S. Kimball. whose
absence from the club. though not per-
manent, will be greatly felt.
Aside from the presidency. the only
office for which the cycle men will have
any choice to exercise is in the election
of the boarG of governors. For the
five places to be filled there are eight
candidates. as follows:
. President Jacob Fuchs, Isaac Singer:
vice-president, Ralph Rennie; secretary
