When Dreams Came True.

An English magazine records two
dream stories. In one a lady, having
lost an important key while walking
in a wood near her house in Ireland,
dreamed that she saw it lying at the

found it there. She supposed her eye
must have seen 1t after it dropped.

METEORlC DUST.

Bomba-cls ti's Earth In an Invisible,
Never Ending Shower.
Metcorir dust particles are infinitely
finer than grains of sand. They have
an interesting origin. Meteors or shoot
ing stars have been bombarding the
world from the beginning at rate es-
tiuatcd at Cany thousands an hour,
of which, however. an average of only
Eve or six are visible to the naked eye
IN that time.
Owing to our protecting envelope of
uir few of these missiles reach us. In
weight meteors vary from a few
ounces TO many pounds. Occasionally
one is of sufficient dimensions TO sur
vive the passage of eighty to hun
dred miles through an atmosphere in.
creasing in density as the earth is ap.
preached.
The speed at which they enter the
atmosphere, calculated at not less than
thirty-tive miles a second. generates
such intense heat by friction that the
iron. of which the meteor principally
consists, is Immediately reduced TO an
incandescent vapor. which is the lumi-
nous train so frequently seen in the
heavens on clear night. The vapor
rapidly cools and condenses in the
form of these minute particles. which
assume the spherical form. as does
shot during its fall from the top of the
tower.
Finally the little spheres are scatter
ed by the winds and currents in the
upper air and gradually descend in
their millions as an invisible. never
ending shower. The perfect condition
in which these meteors are found is
due to the presence OF certain nom
corrosive elements found by analysis

law if the Shickshinny team is force
out of the league by the adoption o
the four games week schedule. CO.
ley claims his team can not play fou
