New York, Aug. : (P-A hundred blazing meteors an hour are due to Lombard the upper air the night of August 11-without the probability ot one recorded hit on earth.
 They are the Perseids. the annual August shower of shooting stars that demonstrate the effective pro- lection of the armor belt of atmo- sphere high above earth. Paradoxi- cally. the faster the meteors fly the less their chance of penetrating the air.
 The Perseids come from the northeast any time between August and 15. but are most likely to make their mass attack on the night O. August II. and to be seen best after midnight.
 Some astronomers say the Per soids ignite at probably about 70 miles elevation. from friction, and that they burn up by the time they drop to about } miles Thence they may descend as meteoric dust so light that it floats with air cur rents.
 Their size appears 10 be an i'm portant factor in lack Of hits. While astronomical opinion differs. they are said to average not much big ger than heads of pins or perhaps ! peas.
 ] An iron pea dropping 7O miles might do damage. but any pea-sized , Perseid is travelling SO fast at i speeds estimated from 25 10 35 n, les a second that even in rare fled air at 70 miles high it burns in q flash.
 Unless it's size is great-at least several pounds, say astronomers the faster a meteor travels the less its chance of hitting, on account of increased friction. The chances equal the inverse square of the velocity.
 These speedy Perseids are esti- mated to burn at 1000 degrees. an intensity which accounts for the gain of dust sized flash being visi- blc for perhaps hundreds of miles~
 If a big meteor dropped in the front yard the finder might get enough iron to make anything from skillet to a couple of autos. He also might find aluminium, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, nickel. phosphor- ous and numerous other elements common to earth.
 The latest discovered is arsenic, found recently at Cornell university by Dr. Jacob Papish. But only the
 iron would have possible com
 mercial value, because the other
 elements are present mostly in microscopial amounts, ! Perseids often have been counted at the rate of several hundred an hour, and 1oo is a common average, i but seeing them requires an unusu- ally clear night far from any city.

They estimated at least 1000 applications for benefits under the new World War disability allowance have been filed in each of the 54 regional of fees of the Veterans Bureau.
