Astronomers estimate that about
15O,OOO.OOo,OOO of shooting stars reach
this earth in the form Of meteorites or
dust every year. Of course shooting
stars in reality are not stars at all;
they are little cosmic particles, often
weighing much less than one ounce
and composed mostly Of iron and car
bon. Most of them travel around the
sun in the same fashion that comets
do, following very 6attened elliptcai
trajectories. Sometimes 1t happens
that the trajectory Of some of these
bodies cross the trajectory Of our own
earth. If the little meteOrite and the
earth get to that point at the same
time they naturally collide. These
planetoids are not luminous In them
selves. So long as they fly through
ether (Which is utter nOthingness) there
is no friction; therefore no heat and no
light. But as soon as they enter the
atmosphere with which our globe is
surrounded their speed is so great that
the friction against the air immediate
ly lights and volatilizes them.-New

Diversions of Earlier Georgia.

Micajah Williamson kept a licensed
tavern in the town of Washington. In
front of this tavern was large picture
Of George Washington hanging as a
swinging sign. John Clarke governor
1S19-23) used to come to town and,
like most men Of his day. get drunk.
They all did not ''cut up" however, as
he did on such occasions. He went
into stores and smashed things gener-
ally, as tradition says, but he always
came back and paid for them like a
gentleman. Once he came into town
intoxicated and galloped down Court
street and fired through the picture Of
General Washington before the tavern
door. This was brought up against
him later when he was a candidate for
governor. but his friends denied it

A Detective Story.

like detective stories; read them.
l write them, but l do not believe
them. The bones and structure Of a
good detective story are so old and
we'll known that it may seem banal to
state them even in outline. A police
man, stupid, but sweet tempered, and
always weakly erring on the side Of
mercy, walks along the street. and In
the course of his ordinary business
finds a man in Bulgarian uniform kill
ed with an Australian boomerang In
a Brompton milk shop. Having set
free all the most suspicious persons In
the story. he then appeals to the bull
dog professional detective, who ap-
peals to the hawklike amateur detec-
tive. The latter finds near the corpse
a boot lace. button boot, d French
newspaper and a return ticket from
the Hebrides, and so relentlessly, link
by link, brings the crime home to the
archbishop of Canterbury.-T. K. Ches-
terton In Illustrated London News.

"Impossiblep'

game broke up In row there and
