No prophecy can be bas- ed upon their visit It is simply the obedience of terrestial bodies to the immutable laws of gravity that bind together Into one innseparable family every atom of matter that travels the unpiatted paths of space.
 The display of meteors this year will be less brilliant than in former years since the Earth will cut through the swarm at It's thinnest point and for this reason the number of failing stars will be less by far than that of 1893 when their numbers startled the world end of the Earth to be at hand.
 The periods of the coming of these Waifs of space corresponds roughly to tho generations of human life or three times in the century. The great dis play of 1893 was repeated in lesser mxgnificance in 1sss and the meteors
