LOOK OUT FOR Motors.
astronomers Expect the Leonids
About November 1916.

People who took so much interest
in the expected big shower Of meteors
three years ago which failed to ma
teriaiize. may get ready for something
to happen the latter part Of next
week when astronomers all over the
country will be on the lookout again
for these celestial visitors which have
so far failed to put in their appear
ance.
The possibility exists that they
may still put in an appearance in CON
siderable numbers, but if there should
be a great display this year the ma
iority Of astronomers would be as
much surprised as they were by the
total failure of the expected shower
in 1899. At the same time nobody
whose business it is to watch celestial
phenomena will Care to neglect the
vigil next week because of the bare
possibility that the meteorS may come
after all.
If they do, there will be great
scramble to revise the calculations
by which the failures Of 1899, 1900
and 1891 have been explained. The
belief now is that Jupiter and Saturn
drew the main swarm Of the meteors
aside from their previous path some
time between the last showers in 1866
and 1867 and the end Of the nineteen
century. But there may possibly be
another swarm travelling in parallel
path. which will meet the earth this
year. One unfortunate circumstance
is that the full moon will be shining
at the time when meteors are due, If
they come at all. This would make
the faint ones invisible. On the other
hand. many Of the November meteors
are large and bright, and these would
not be much observed by the moon
light. The time to be on the watch
for them is after midnight on Thurs
day. Friday and Saturday next week.
The direction to look is toward the
northeast. the apparent center from
which the meteorS radiate when they
appear in number, being the sickle
shaped figure marked out by principal
stars in the constellation Lion.

CHAPTER XIV.
THE POWER OE LAW.


The minister Of police was so aston
ished by the sudden action on the part
Of his nephew. that he was for few
moments unable to speak.
His anger. struggled for the mastery
with his surprise, and aS De Naudrey
saw the deep red flush mantling his
uncle:s face. he well knew what pOr-
tended. lie held the leaf upon which
was written the secret Of the countess
but how long he might be permitted
TO retain it was still an open question.
De Naudrey knew that the count
would not hesitate to call upon the
police, and order them to wreSt the
paper from him, and he deemed II the
wiSest course to leave the room while
his uncle was yet Stupetied, as it were.
at his conduct.
With a low bow to the now
thoroughly angry count, the chcvaller
left the room, and proceeded directly
TO the apartments OF the countess.
Meeting a servant as he went
through the lofty halls, he directed
him to wait on the Count de LiniereS:
for De Naudrey had serious fears that.
upon one OF his uncle'S temperament,
the passion which had control Of him
might prove fatal.
His first movement, as he entered
the antechamber of his aunt's apart
mentS. was to commit the paper he
had torn from the book to the flames:
and not until he had seen the last
SmOldering veStige of it reduced TO
ashes. did he seek the presence OF the
| countess.
De Iaudrey treated the interview
with the count in his conversation
with the countess, as nothing serious:
and assured her. without relating any
of the particulars that her secret was
safe.
Indeed. so moved was the countess
by the chevalier,S argument in favor OF
tie girl whom he loved. that, terrible
as she believed would be the con-
sequences if her secret was made
known to her husband, She hardly
! thought Of what she had said, and
consequently believed that the counts
order for his nephew to return TO him
after eScorting his aunt to her apart
ments. referred only to the question Of
the marriage which the king desired.
1t was an exceedingly simple task
for the cheyalier now to induce the
Countess de Liniercs TO call upon the
young girl he loved. and after giving
! her iienriette'S address. and receiving
her assurance that she would visit the
young girl on her return from church.
the chevalier took his departure. lear-
! ing the countess to wander back in
the dark and terrible lnazcs Of the
pasV, while he should seek Hcnrictte's
society, and be happy as lie basked in
the sunlight OF the loved ones smiles.
The servant whom De Naudrey lad
sent 10 the assistance Of the count.
found that gentleman in the greatest
state Of excitement. consequent upon
the behavior Of bis nephew.
Send the chief clerk to me-, said
! De LinieTtS TO the servant.
When the clerk entered, he found
| his chief in more quiet frame OF
mind: but from his manner OF speak
! ing, the clerk knew that his superior
was in 10 cnyiabie mood.

The Penguin,s Bump Of Locality.


On shore the penguin IS an awkward
creature. Water is its element. When
hunted on the ice foes, the birds gen.;
orally try to run away in an uprghfi
position, but just as the hunter thinks!
he has got one the bird lies down on itsi
white belly and paddles along over the
snow very quickly, the hard, smooth.
quills slipping over the snow crystals:
almost without friction. a remarkable
characteristic Of the penguin Is his
bump Of locality. Both on shore and
in the water he never loses his way.
To human eyes one ice foe is precisely
like another, but under that roof OF
similar ice foes have seen a penguin
of the larger species find its mate on
foe after diving and swimming for q
full mile under water.-Leslie's.
