TIE study Of ueteors, requiring no teles-
cope nor extensive equipment. Is above
- ali adapted to the amateur. The only
things necessary are q good star map, q
lantern, ruler, recording sheet and 3 pencil.
To these simple things there should be added
considerable patience for the meteor to
come and then some rather quick work in
getting its path accurately plotted Accu-
racy OF course increases greatly with prac-
tice. but even from the first any intelligent
person. whether q student Of astronomy or
not, can do something well worth while and
actually aid in the Increase OF our knowl-
me value and Importance OF this work Is
shown by the connection between comets and
meteors, and that our knowledge OF the
movements In the upper atmosphere Of the
earth, and how high this atmosphere ex-
tends depends largely upon the DRIFT OF
meteor trains and the calculation OF the
heights at which they appear. Hence for
the meteorologist this study is OF immense
Theory Of Evolution
One OF the principal theories Of evolution
depends upon meteoric matter Tor its basis
The absorption Of light in space must take
meteors into account Further, small
amount OF the suns heat is received from
this source We need 70 know how much
this Is with more certainty. The constitu-
uon OF the zodlacal ngnt anc the gegen-
schein IS supposed TO be Of meteoric nature.
Whether the curious behavior OF Encke's
comet whose period Of three and a half
each successive return by about two hours
and q half. can be attributed TO the resisting
medium OF meteors offers most interesting
field OF investigation Again the fan OF
meteoric matter upon the earth brings 10 US
from outer space our only actual specimens
Of the elements which exist there. Their
chemical and geological study forms
branch OF science TO itself It IS the astr0no-
mer's duty, however, to be able TO answer
the questions TO their orbits and hence
from what part Of space they came 10 US
principally whether they had their origin
stellar space.
There are other points, but these should
suffice TO prove chat the study Of meteors
IS a branch OF astronomy well worth devel-
oping-
Society Is Formed.
It IS obvious that only by the cooperation
OF a large number Of observers can definite
results be obtained With this object IN
view the American Meteor society has been
formed, which IS composed OF amateurs and
professionals and II is hoped that the So
ciety will have a largely increased member
the country. ANY one desiring TO participate
in the work can obtain the necessary infor-
nation by writing TO professor Charles P
oliver, Of the Leander Mccormick Observa-
tory, University Of Virginia, who will be
very glad TO advise them as TO what Is re-
blanks, directions for their use. and COM

made for the maps. but all other materials
are furnished free Of cost
The work IS not At all difficult and will af-

SPEED LAW VIOLATION
WORKS HARM, HE SAYS
William F. Peabody, in Address,
Points Out It Sets Bad Ex-
ample to Children.

That autoists who violate the laws
work harm in two ways was pointed
out by William f. Peabody, president
of the Washington Safety First Asso-
citation, in an address before the Spe
cial Child Study Club at the Public Lii
brary last evening. Mr.. Peabody said
that not only did such violator en-
danger lives, but that he set bad ex-
ample to the young folks by his disre-
gard of the law.
When an autoist is arrested for
speeding and tries to excuse his viola
tion to the policeman making the ar
rest, said Mr.. Peabody, children who
usually gather around often are moral
ly injured by the example of the man
trying to excuse himself out of his vio-
lation.
The more plausible the excuse of tie
have. the more harmful is the effect.
That kid is litening to the speeder
bluff. the policeman, and stores all the
conversation in his mind for future
use. Then, if he is ever arrested, he
tries to reason out why they let the
rich speeder go when he himself is
punished"
Mr. Peabody said that statistics show
that about rs per cent of the autoists
are arrested in Washington for traffic
whereas other arrests total
about only II per cent of the popuIa-
tion.

of the Juvenile Court, Mrs. ]. p. S. Ne
