METEORIC SHOW
IN NOVEMBER
Francisco

Washington, Oct. 28.-Most meteors
appear In the fall and the later halt
of November Is q particularly favor
able time to watch for meteoric dis
plays
Three periodic swarms OF meteors
scheduled to appear yearly IN
November. These are the TauridA,
the Leonids and the .Andromedes,
named in each instance for the con-
s%teiiation in which the radiant point
is located. This is the point from
which the paths Of the various mem
bers OF the swarm appear to radtate.
The Taurids are likely to appear
any time in November but their great
est display is scheduled for November
Fl. The Leonids appear any time pc
tween November 9 and 20 but are
seen in greatest number, on the 14th
and 18th. The Andromedes appear
between November 20 and 80 u
their greatest display is between the
goth ~ands23rd. 1t is believed these
are the remains of Biela's Lost Comet.
When q swarmNof meteors is quite
evenly distributed around its orbit the
displays are equally great every year
and occur when the earth's path IN
tersects the path of the swarm.
The Leonids appear before sunrise.
SO the earth meets them head on"
and they are remarkable for their
rapid flights as well as for their long
vivid trails and intense blue or green
ish Light. The Andromedes appear
early at night and have to overtake
the earth. They are reddish in color
with short trails that soon. disappear.
The Taurids are visible around mid
night.
On clear nights when the moon Is
absent one usually may see two or
three meteors.
Meteors or shooting stars travelling
In swarms are believed to be in every
instance the result Of tho disintegra-
ton of. comets, that is, they are mere
cometary dust. They are entirely
distinct in origin and nature from the
freballs or meteorites that strike the
earth's surface and whose advent
usually Is heralded with a binding
flash of light and a deafening explo-
sion.. Only in m or two instances
has a mete0rite appeared with a
warm Of meteOrs.

MASON COUNTY IS
ENTIRELY CLEAR OF
ALL BONDED DEBT
Last Bonds Against the County Paid
on Today by Treasurer Leaving
Mason County In Unique
Position In State.

Mason county does not owe one dol
lar In bonded debt today. The last
bonds against the county were paid
of today by County Treasurer, the
county Board Of Commissioners in
their monthly meeting held on Tues
day having. ordered the last block of
turnpike bands taken up.
This places Mason county in very
enviable position among the counties
Of the state OF Kentucky as, so far as
Is known, there are no other counties
in the state entirely free of debt and
so far as is known there are very few
counties in the whole of the United
States who can boast of having no
bonded debt.
Those who have had to do with the
management Of fiscal affairs in such
manner as to lift all the weight of
debt from the county are to be heart
lily congratulated and in this connec-
tion. 1t might not be amiss to say that
the county is now in splendid condi-
tion for some extensive improvement
to roads and they are not more badly
needed in any other county in the
Bluegrass or on its border.
