Height Of MeteorS,

Meteors, or shooting stars, are
email solid bodies that fall through
1pace. become incandescent in the at.
mosphere of the earth and usually dis.
appear in the form OF gas or dust. If
Two observers stationed several miles
apart see the same shooting star and
note the point in the sky where it an
pearea they can construct a hypo.
thetical triangle, the apex of which is
the point OF appearance of the meteor,
and thus obtain the approximate
height Of the shooting star when It
hrst became visible. For a long period
OF years, it appears, German observer
employed this method of estimating
The height Of shooting stars. From
careful observations of no less than
lO2 meteors he found that the mean
height at which shooting stars first be.
come visible Is 81 miles. The mean
height of the point at which they dis
appear is about SO miles, and the Az.
erage length Of their visible path a
niles.

Personality.

What widespread and far-rea ching
effect personality has in the affairs Of
men. We hear 1t given as wide &
range of definition as there are kinds
of people. An agreeable personality
and vice versa; personality that is
stupid or Intelligent; gracious or churl
fish overbearing or yielding; self-willed
and oblivious of the rights of Others
or tolerant and reasonable; selfish OF
unselfsh; conceited or modest i.
thoughtful or unthinking; these and
many others are samples of vast va.
riety Of habits Of mind and manner
from which every person may choose
as they desire. But every person
should remember that their personal
bearing toward their fellows has
vast deal to do with their success in
life. We rise or fall very often &C.
cording to the estimate given to on,
personality by those about us. What
is called tact" which is but an abbre
Walton Of the word contact, is the out.
come of our personality. We mold
ard shape our personality very much
by the amount of contact we have With
our fellow beings.-JeffersOn County
Union.

Story Of Atlantis Island.

Plato tells the story OF the great
island of Atlantis and puts it's exis-
tence 1000 years before his time. His
location Of 1t is about half way be.
tween the western projection Of Africa
and the Gulf OF Mexico. Its civiliza-
ton was supposed to be very advanced
and it's powerful armies were said to
have penetrated Africa as far as
Egypt. The whole island, according
to this legend, was engulfed by the sea
IN a day and a night. Another story
says that great earthquake destroyed
the island. The legend was ascribed
20 Egyptian priests, and on some old
Italian maps Atlantis is placed to the
westward Of the Azores. Among some
tribes Of South and Central America
there is the legend Of vast cataclysm
which engulfed a great extent of'land.
Eminent scientists have found moth
fng impossible In the existence at some
time of great Atlantic island, but the
story Of Atlantis Is generally regarded
as a myth.
