An Escape in The Sky.

Once in whilt meteor piung
ing into the atmosphere of the
earth is neither consumed by the
heat developed through friction
nor precipitated upon the surface
of the globe. but pursues its way
out into open space again.
Its briei career within human
ken may be compared to that
OF comet travelling IN para
bolic orbit. which. as IT yielding
to a headlong curiosity. almost
plunges into the sun and then
hastens away again
In July, 1892. one OF these es
Gaping meteors was seen in Aus
tria and Italy. Careful computa-
tions based upon the observations
which were made IN various
places have shown that it was
visible along a track. IN the upper
air. about six hundred and eight
miles in length. When at its
nearest point to the earth it was
elevated forty-two miles above
the surface.
From this point II receded from
the earth, its elevation when last
seen being no less than ninety
eight miles.
Although the resistance of the
atmosphere was not sufficient to
destroy the motion of this strange
visitor. which contented itself
with so briet glimpse of our
globe, yet it carried the effects of
that resistance out into space with
it, and can never shake them off.
No matter what its previous
course may have been, the retard-
alton that it suffered during its
passage through the air sufficed
to turn it in a different direction.
and to send it along another path
than that which it had been fol.
lowing. Exchange.

There is a theory that God Sc

These men. whose deposits

You like 10 persuade a man that

A PANAMA SCANDAL.


]. II. Collins, inspector, who has
Just returned from the Panama canal
zone, makes startling revelations OF
alleged immortality, favoritism, graft
and extravagant living against high
government officials.
Some OF the most startling accusa-
tions which Collins brought before
Secretary Wright are these:
That a clique headed by Col. Goe-
thals now controls the canal zone by
methods as despotic as those Of gov
ernor-general OF Russian province.
That by means of spies 1t brings
trumped-up charges; brings about
punishment of all employees who dare
complain.
That in the case of Collins, though
he was not charged with committing
any offense, he was summary ar
rested, condemned for "trespassing"
and ordered on the zone.
That officeholders whom this clique
keeps in power have been charged
with grave Offenses that are never in
vestigated. Instead, these men have
been promoted to positions OF greater
responsibility and higher salary.
That federal officials, at the expense
OF the government, are indulging in
luxuries far SURPRISING the most ex-
travagant flights of the French.
