METEOR SHOWER
 SPARKLED OVER
 NORTHERN OHIO
Group of Scientists in Cleveland Witnessed It and Many Good Ph0t0- graphs Were Secured

Cleveland, O., Nov 16-A shower of meteors, one of the most spec tacular of the century, sparkled across the early morning sky of Northern Ohio today. A little group of scientists. headed by Dr J. J. Nassau took photographs of the display from the local observatory of Case school of applied science. A clear sky gave the scientists an unimpaired view of the shower of Leanides, as the meteors are called. They fall approximately once every 35 years.
 Some of the fallen meteors were as beautiful and spectacular as any have seen," Dr Nassau said. "One streaked across the sky with Q long tail and was visible for about 15 seconds, phenomally long time." Dr Nassau said he and his assistant, Sidney McCuskey, made approximately 100 photo- graphs of the meteoric fireworks which first showed shortly after midnight. They continued until dawn. The case astrologist said his photographers were all made without the aid of telescope equip- ment. The picture thus shows the display just as It appeared to the naked eye.

GAS USE GAINS
 IN CONNECTICUT
Commodity Now Being Used By S5 Per Cent
 of Residents
BOTTLED CAS- IN RURAL

Eighty-five percent of the entihe population of Connecticut is now being served with manufactured gas by the public utility companies figures compiled by the American in this state, according to the latest Gas association. The statistics, compiled as of the first of the cur- rent year, show that part of Con- necticut's population receiving gas service totals 1862, 400, leaving only 244,5O3 people, according to the 1880 census figure, which are not connected with the mains and who therefore do not enjoy manufac- tured gas service.
 The fifteen percent of the total Connecticut residents who are not connected with the public utility distribution systems are not neces- sarily without gas service, however, Recent developments in science have produced fuels known as bu- tame and propane which are read lily liquifed and gasified, so that they may be placed in tanks under pressure and sold for use in rural homes where manufactured gas service is not available. By the use of this bottled gas," the rural home is now able to enjoy the use of gas appliances just as if they were connected with the city and nter-city systems except for the inconvenience of obtaining and re- placing the tanks.
 Customers of Connecticut's man. ufactured gas utilities now consume close to eleven billion cubic feet of gas each year. Last year, the total gas used in this state amounted to 10, ,779, ,300O,000 cubic feet, a sub- stantial increase over the preceding years figures despite the unfavor- able conditions which prevailed in the industrial and commercial util- ization of gas heat. The number of public utility company customers which used this gas was 310,570 and through these customers the percent of the total pop ulation was reached.

 The street car and the expense suggestions aroused the most ire.
