ELEVATORS FOR COURT HOUSE.
Progress Of Movement Inaugurated

In connection with the movement inau-
Rurated by Register of Wills Tanner for
the installation of elevator service In the
court house of this city, Mr.. Tanner sent a
communication to the members OF the
committees on appropriation of the two
Houses of Congress, in answer to which ne
received a score Of responses some en-
Enthusiastically in favor of the proposition,
some expressing great surprise to learn
that there was no such service In the court
house, some promising to give the matter
careful consideration when the details as
to costs. etc. should be known. but none in
opposition thereto.
Mr.. Elliott Woods. the superintendent Of
Capitol building and grounds, under whose
supervision the court house is. looked care
fully into the matter, expressed himself as.
cordially in favor thereof. and procured
data from the various firms who manufac-
ture elevators. and making estimates as to
the cost, has recommended to the Attorney:
General an appropriation of $4,000 for the
installation of two elevators. The Aftor-
ney General has recommended the same

MERELY A MASTERPIECE.
Not Message" in Lovely Diction for
the Junior Manager.

From the Lyceumite.
A man who wanted to lecture called at a
bureau presided over by two managers.
He aroused their interest with lecturers
art, but unfortunately the senior member
was just starting on a trip and would not
return for at least month.
The senior partner called. the young man
to one side and exacted a solemn promise
that he would not visit another bureau nor
read his lecture to anybody until after he
had given. this particular manager a read

The interest Of the junior member. how
ever was at white heat, and he kept send
ing for the young lecturer, insisting that
lecture. The young man refused with as
much tact as possible, but this only in
creased the anxiety Of the Junior.
At last the young man told of the prom
quieting the junior manager. the announce
ment made him only the more anxious, and
finally the young man consented.
The reading ended. the junior partner
said: -..s.......
Now. your doing this has saved us all
much valuable time. I'll tell you frankly,
my boy, 1t won't do There's no message
in 1t. it's loosely cons .ructed, the diction is
poor. 1t won't do. Burn 1t and try again."
When the senior partner returned he
called up the young lecturer and soundly
berated him for breaking faith.
How do I know you have not been to
every bureau In town? You promised me
on your honor you would read the lecture
to nobody-not even to my partner"
The young man protested that he had
not done SO.
.'Why!' exclaimed the senior manager.
''of course you have. He tells me that you

The Meteors are Due Again.

The people of this vicinity are due to
view beautiful display of meteoric
lights on the night of Nov. A., if the
skies are not clouded The earth will
then pass through the pathway of an
interesting group of small heavenly
bodies, which roam through the outer
space in a direct course.
One of the authorities on things as
Economical gives the following account
of the display:
The notion commonly entertained
about space as being empty is certainly
very erroneous. The case is far other
wise. Innumerable small bodies, dark
and cold, traverse that part of space in
which the solar system is now in every
directions. Those in our neighborhood
revolve about the sun, which is as care
specks of matter as upon the planets
themselves, each has it's own curve, and
obeys the universal law of gravitation.
These small bodies are called meteors,
or shooting stars. One can hardly
watch the sky for fifteen minutes on a
clear and moonless night, without see
ing at least one of these bodies flash
and vanish.
But there are certain nights in the
year on which they are more numerous
than on others, and come down in regu-
lar showers. lnnumerable of these
quick flashing lights. following one
another upon us and look as if all the
stars had suddenly left their places in
the armament, dashed swiftly across a
portion of the sky and then vanished.
One of these grand and magnificent

displays may be looked for on the night

displays may be looked for on the night
of November IA.
On the two nights Immediately pre-
ceedjng and succeeding this date there
will be more meteors seen than ordi-
narily, but on the 14th the main
showers are to come.
The reason for this will easily appear
from very simple illustration: Sup
around a circular grass plot upon
which spray of water is being thrown
from without. Just as often as he
passes the spot where the stream of
water plays he is besprinkled. Now let
us replace the man by the earth and the
stream of water by mighty river of
meteoric matter, which flows by a
certain spot in the earth's orbit.
Whenever the earth passes by that
spot, as it does at a given time of every
year, it is besprayed with meteors.
This is exactly what is to happen on
the night of the 18th Of November. The
earth, in her annual flight along her
orbit, will encounter meteorc ring
and cut through it; hence the shower
This shower emanates from the con-
stellation Lea, and the meteors there
fore are called "Leonids."
Generally the display is not at all
times very brilliant but once in every
33 years it is of wonderful splendor
This is due to the fact that this me-
teoric ring has a period of 80 years
and, although the whole circumference
of the ring is thickly bespotted with
meteors, the main body of them reach
the earth's orbit only once in 80 years
The years 1888, 1866 and 1899 are re.
corded as having witnessed the most

brilliant and magnificent display of
meteoric showers ever seen before.
The years 1892 is the time predicted
for the next display.
AS regards the number of bodies in
the richer part Of the November me-
teor-system, Richard A. Proctor, has
this to say: I'VE may fairly assume
that, taking the average of the four
displays of the years 1860 they en-
countered more than one meteor per
minute as she swept successfully
through the system, or conveniently
for our purpose, that an average dis
lance of 1000 miles separates meteor
from meteor throughout the gem of
the ring Now, the length of the great
cluster is at least 1,000,O0O,O0O miles,
its thickness may be fairly assumed as
averaging 100000 miles, and it's width
can hardly be less than ten times it's
thickness, since the forces acting in
the system tend much more largely to
affect it's width than it's thickness
Thus, we find that the cluster cannot
contain less than Q,000,0 ,000) or
one hundred thousand million numbers. -
-"Other worlds than ours" Page 217.
There is also ring of meteors
through which the earth passes in the
latter part of November of each year
Their radient point is in the constella-
ton Andromeda, and their period is
only nine years.
This shower comes generally on the
9th or 2Sth of November. 1t derives
special interest from it's supposed con-
nection with the lost Biela's comet.
The meteors pursue the same orbit
as the lost comet, and it is possible
that they are the products of it's dis
Indignation.
In 1892 they came on the 23rd, instead
of the 9th of November, their usua
date. This was due to disturbance
Of the orbit by the attraction of the
planet Jupiter which happened to be
near it.
There are other instances of a con
nection between a meteor shower anc
comet. The orbit of the August me
teors is identical with that of the
bright comet of 1862, and is supposed
to have period Of 142 years.
