A RAIN OF FIRE.
The Great Meteorie Shower That
Scared Folks In 1888.

The Great Meteorio Shower That
Scared Folks In 1888.
In Scharf's Chronicles OF Baltimore"
there is vivid description of the star
~ hailStorm, the fiery meteoric show
er, of 1888, and old files of newspapers
are made luminous at that date with
the impressions of editors and contrib
utors. One writer said 1t was the
grandest and most charming sight ever
presented to the vision of man. Awak-
ened from sleep, he sprang to the win
dow, thinking the house was on fire,
but when he looked out he beheld
stars, or fiery bodies. descending like
torrents" The shed lin the adjoin-
ing yard to my own" he wrote, was
covered with stars, as l supposed, dur
ing the whole time" Professor Ohm
stead of Yale college thought that the
exhibition was the finest display of
celestial fireworks that had been wit
messed since the creation of the world.
although he, too, while knowing its
character was sufficiently imbued
with the theological spirit of the time
to believe that it was a solemn portent
that carried a divine warning.
One editor whose comment upon this
phenomenon was probably more quoted
than any other be ever made said:
I'VE pronounce the raining fire which
we saw ON Wednesday morning an
awful type. a forerunner, merciful
sign. of that great and dreadful day
which the Inhabitants of the earth will
witness when the sixth seal will be
opened. Many things occurring in the
earth tend to convince US that we are
now in the latter days.

DEATHWATCH BEETLES.
Their Tapping Stands For Courtship
and Not For Warning.

Their Tapping Stands For Courtship
and Not For Warning.
Much mental anguish could have
been saved to past generations and
some not so very far past If people
had known that the mysterious tap
ping OF the "deathwatch" stood for
courtship and not death. A writer in
the Scientific American explains that
the various species of the beetle anobi-
um and their bigger relatives of the
genus xeStobiun not only attack furni-
ture, but so completely riddle the
whole woodwork Of old houses by their
borings as to render the structures IN
safe. Indeed, a beam that has been
tenanted by these insects for a num-
Der of years is little better than an
outer shell containing a mass OF wood
dust The xestobium is the common
deathwatch, while the anobium also
is in the habit of making a tapping
sound.
The nocturnal tappings OF these in
sectS, distinctly audible in a room
where there is an otherwise complete
absence of noise, has for many centu-
ries been regarded by the supersti-
tious as a warning Of the approach of
death. This uncanny Interpretation of
a mysterious sound is scarcely surpris-
ing when it is remembered that only
in recent years have naturalists dis
covered its true cause.
The little beetle has been found in
some secluded spot, jerking its hard
head at regular intervals upon the SUI
face Of the wood beneath it. So far
as can be told, its rappings constitute
a kind of courtship ritual. Obviously
they have no connection with the lat
ter end OF mankind.
