GARRETT P. SERVISS ON METEOR
PHENOMENA
In November the Heavens Weep Tears Of Fire,
and Possess Two Great Showers.

much larger bodies, perhaps OF
similar, perhaps of different ORR
gin, which, because OF their mas.
siyeness, are able to survive the
fiery passage and fall upon the
earth. Almost every large mu-
scum of natural history now pos
sesses specimens OF these.l
The general belief with regard
to the origin Of the small me-
teors that come in showers is
that they are the scattered de-
bris of comets which have been
gradually destroyed in passing
many times around the sun.
The magnificent swarm that
made so wonderful a spectacle
In November, 1898. travels in the
orbit Of an ancient comet, with a
period OF about thirty three years.
In November, 1866, they appeared
again, but were much less nu-
merous than In 1888. The date
OF their appearance had adj
vanced to the night of November
1914. Some were also seen on
the same date in 1867, showing
that the swarm had stretched out
so far along its orbit that 1t re-
tAAtbu - year 10 pass
through the meeting point of it's
orbit with the orbit Of the earth.
On November Is, 1899, another
return OF the great shower was
expected, but only a few meteors
appeared, for the reason, as as
tronomers soon discovered, that
the swarm had been diverted
somewhat by the attraction Of
the two largest planets of the
solar system. This expected re-
turn was employed by the proph-
cts of doom to spread a belief
In the Immediately coming end of
the world; but the prophets had
neglected to consult Jupiter and
Saturn.
However, the swarm Is 50 wide
ly scattered that some of its me-
teors are annually seen about the
18th or 18th of November. They
radiate from the constellation
Leo, from within the curve of the
sickle formed by it's stars. Leo
rises. on that date about mid
night. These meteors, called
"the Leonids," are very swift in
their motions, leaving "streaks
of fire." and they often show a
greenish or blush color, They
move SO fast because they meet
the earth in it's course.
The other great meteor shower
of November, that of ''the andre
medes," occurs about the 23d or
oath, radiating from the constella-
ton Andromeda, which is over
head between eight and nine
o'clock in the evening Unlike
the 'Leonids" the "Andromedes"
are relatively slow in their move
ments, because they overtake the
earth in it's orbital motion, and
they often exhibit a. beautiful red
dish color.

DRESS
FOR BRIDE
MS. CorneIius Beeckman

NEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
am to be married at the
priests house about noon. Would
1t be proper for the bride to wear
a travelling dress. as the groom
lis wearing business suit?
Should the maid of honor and tho
bridesmaids also wear suits?
~ Al says 1t is proper to ask
the bridesmaids parents, although
they are not related; b says it Is
not proper. Which is right? You
see, we are just having a little
lunch and are inviting only the
parents of both families.
(3y, Where should the luncheon
be held at the bridegroom home
or the brides home?
"a / have two very dear girl
friends and / do not know which
to choose for my attendant. Would
1t be proper, at a small wedding,
to have one girl friend as maid Of
honor and the other as brides
maid? The brother Of. the groom
would be best man and a friend
of his usher.
(5) Should the bride and brides
maids carry large bouquets or
just small ones?" Who pays for
the flowers?
NJ. w.
ID It would be most appropriate
for the bride and her attendants
to wear suits.
(2) 1t is proper to ask the par
ents of the bridesmaids, but since
your list of wedding guests is
to be SO limited it would not, in
your case, be necessary.
81 The wedding luncheon should
be held at the home of the bride.
It is not at all correct to have it
at the home of the groom, since
the parents of the bride are the
hosts of the wedding.
az Usually. at such a very
small wedding. both the bride
and the groom have only one at
tendant, the bride a maid of hon.
or and the groom best man.
(5) A rather small eorsage
is the most appropriate kind of
bouquet for the bride and the
maid of honor to wear with suits.
However, If the bride wishes a
larger bouquet, 1t is proper for
her to have it. The groom sends
the bridal bouquet to his bride,
and usually the bride or her par
ents send the bouquets to the at
PENDANTS of the pride. However,
if he wishes to send the bou-
quets to the attendants, it 10 COR
rect also for the groom to do
this.

He is sure that much human
misery could be averted IL people
would be more careful about their
bodies. And he thinks it's q par
ticular low idea to bring a child
into the world with q heritage
Of bad blood. OF course. he was
strong for putting things ship
shape before his marriage. So
he decided to bring Daisy up
to par.
Right there the trouble started.
Daisy 10 pink and plump, pretty
and popular. She was much
amazed at the idea that she
needed to be brought up to par.
And her family were outraged.
What on earth did he mean?
He must be crazy!
Then Bert quite reasonably
pointed out that, though Daisy
was adorable, her physical condi-
ton left much to be desired. She
was over weight and rapidly be-
coming more so. She was lazy.
She stayed in bed too long In the
morning and rarely went to bed
before midnight. She ate every
thing she pleased at any time
she wished. She took no regu-
lar exercise. She had headaches
and bilious spells. And Nerves.
She cried and sulked-always
charmingly-but 1t was apt to
grow monotonous.
Moreover, what did she know
of the physical history of the
family? Nothing at all. Their
physical history might make or
mar his and Daisy's children.
Had Daisy had blood test made!
ANY X-ray plates? Was there
insanity in the family. Or blood
faint?
When he mentioned that Mrs.
Winslow went into Mysteries,
Daisy tainted and Papa WinsloW

Noted Astronomer and Writer on
Scientific Topics OF Popular
Interest

TN November the heavens weep
i tears Of fire. Some are shed
in other months, particularly Aug
ust but November is above all en-
titled to be called the month OF
meteors, for 1t possesses two great
Showers" which at times have
been so spectacular as to startle,
and even to terrify, the world. On
the night OF November 1918, 1893,
the sky over the United States
was so filled with fiery meteors
that it appeared "as full of them
as it ever is of snowflakes in a
storm
For five or six hours they con-
tinued to fall at the rate of about
200 600 per hour, 1: e., more than
fifty per second. They radiated
in streams from a point nearly
overhead, appearing to some per-
sons like an umbrella of fire COW
ering the celestial dome.
What are these flying sparks
and rushing balls of fire? Not
falling stars" or shooting stars"
as many call them. The stars do
not fall, or leave their places in
space If a star could fall, 1t would
be countless thousands Of years en-
the way, and when it arrived 1t
would swallow our sun and all it's
planets in an Overwhelming con-
flagration.
Astronomers call them "meteors."
Look up the word in the die
tionary. They consist OF solid
particles, averaging in size per.
haps not larger than grains Of
sand or the smallest pebbles. They
come from space outside the earth,
where they must travel in swarms
around the sun; and all their fire
Is produced by friction after they
get inside the shell of the atmos-
phere Before encounteriag the
earth their speed, 1t Is calculated,
averages about twenty-six miles
per second. That is sufficient to
produce, when they enter the air,
q temperature high enough to
fuse the most refractory substance
known.
In consequence the meteors are
entirely consumed in the atmos-
phere. There is no known in.
stance of meteor striking the
surface of the earth. (This state
ment does not apply to meteor
