On awakening one morning at his
hotel in Vienna, Paganini, the celebrat-
ed violinist, was informed that the
cabman whom the previous evening he
had employed to drive him to the con-
cert hall where he was playing was
waiting to see him. On being admit
ted to his presence the man, after hay
ing advanced poverty and large fam
lily as an excuse for the request that
he was about to make, prayed the
great musician to make his fortune

two words, 'Paganini's Cab was the

together satisfactory results.

A Constant Rain of Missiles Upon the
Worlds Atmosphere.
The regions of space beyond our
planet are filed with flying fragments.
Some meet the earth in its onward
rush; others, having attained incon-
ceivable velocity. overtake and crash
into the whirling sphere with loud det-
onation and ominous glare, finding de-
struction in it's molecular armor or
perhaps ricochetting from it again into
the unknown. Some come singly, va
grant fragments from the infnity of
space; others fall in showers, like gold
en- rain, all constituting a lombard
ment appalling in its magnitude.
1t has been estimated that every
twenty-four hours the earth or its at
mosphere is struck by 4OO,O00O00 mis-
siles Of iron or stone, ranging from an
ounce up to tons in weight Every
month there rush upon the flying globe
at least 12,0O0,O00,O0O iron and stone
fragments, which, with lurid accompa-
niment crash into the circumambient
atmosphere.
Owing to the resistance offered by
the air few of these solid shots strike
the earth. They move out Of space
with a possible velocity Of thirty or
forty miles per second and, like moths.
plunge into the revolving globe, lured
to their destruction by its fatal attrac-
ton. The moment they enter our at
mosphere they ignite, and the air is
piled up and compressed ahead of them
with uncomfortable force, the resultant
friction producing an immediate rise in
temperature, and the shooting star, the
meteor Of popular parlance, is the re-
suit.

No ACT of Governor Fort created more
surprise than his failure to reappoint Hon.
David Baird, of Camden, to the State
Board of Assessors. 1t was generally
conceded that the Camden leader was to
have the position without any special eff
fort ON his part, and the paper containing
the list of nominations showed that Mr..
Baird's name had been put on it, but that
line had been drawn through it, thus
leaving the place practically blank. 1t is
thought that the Governor will later send
in the name Of Mr.. Baird as an ad interim
appointment. Generally in such course
the appointment holds until the meeting
Of the next Legislature. Mr.. Baird's term
does not expire until next month and
If we read the law correctly he remains in
Office until his successor Is appointed. If
the Governor should reappoint him or
give the Office to another man the Senate
must be called to confirm the act as the
appointee cannot qualify until he has been
confirmed, and the Board must consist of
four members. This ground is taken
after reading the Revised Statutes on the
subject. By the law approved March II,
1891, it is provided that "all property of
any railroad and OF any canal company
used for railroad and canal purposes shall
be assessed by State Board of Assessors,
which shall consist of four members, and
shall be appointed by the Governor, by
and with the advice and consent of the
Senate; no person shall be qualified or
authorized to act as q member of said
Board unless his appointment shall have
been confirmed by the Senate" Then the
law provides that "all appointments shall
be for four years and until the appoint
ment of successor" If the above law is
of any value David Baird will be mem
Der of the Board of Assessors until his
successor has been confirmed by the Sen
ate. The ad interim appointment of Mr.
Baird or any other gentleman will not re-
lieve the situation as the appointment
must be confirmed by the Senate, and If
that is not done the present incumbent
will still hold on to the Office.
