HEAVENS FULL OF
SHOOTING STARS

The earth is passing through a sea
of meteors known as the Perseids. To-
day and on Tuesday and Wednesday,
the centre of the path of the meteors
will be crossed by the earth, and the
sky will be full Of shooting stars. The
display win diminish gradually until
August %. when the earth will pass
out of the path.
During early August the daily num-
Der Of shooting stars which the earth
meets or overtakes in spaces in many
times multiplied. AT the height OF the
phenomenon, August 10, IL and II, the
heavens are full Of flying points of
light.
Science has shown that the meteor
and the shooting star are the same ex-
cept in point of size. A meteor is a
body which falls upon the earth COM
ing from outer space. Until they
reach the earth's atmosphere they are
invisible. but as they enter ii they
blaze forth and sometimes explode
with a report which is heard for thou
sands Of miles. The pieces Of strange
minerals which fall from them are
called meteorites, aerolites, or simply
meteoric stones.
1t is believed that the Perseids are a
part Of the tail Of the famous comet OF
