One of the most important showers"
Of meteOrs, or shooting stars, occurs
on the 10th and 18th of August. Its
center of radiation is from. the constel
lation of Perseus. which rises in the
northeast about 10 p. m. They are
called ''Perseides" and are also known
as the Tears Of St. Lawrence" One
should watch until midnight for these
meteors, and an attentive observer is
sure to see several, and perhaps many
in the course of an hour.
The generally accepted theory re-
garding meteors is that they were
originally parts Of comets that have
become disintegrated and are moving
about IL space in orbits of every con-
direction. These enter the at
enveIcping the earth with
more or less frequency, and are ignit-
ed by friction as they pass through 1t,
and in the main are burned up, but
occasionally one passes through and
reaches the earth. Many interesting
specimens are to be found in the pri1-
ciple museums Of the world.
The atmosphere enveloping the earth
is estimated to reach a height of 100
miles. MeteOrs are seen first it is eS-
timated at height of 15 miles and
isappear at a height of 55 miles.
