Assiduous observation has given a list of tiourly 100 sued showers in the course of a year, each of which may be expected on a certain date from a certain part of tho heuvens. ' Particular showers have characteris tic features; that is, some meteors are very swift; others rather slow. Some vanish and leave nu trace, whilo others are accompanied by tails and leave streaks after tho nucleus has disap peared.

"How do you account for these mete oric, showers coming at regular periods?" was asked. "All that we can say is that the coles li.il spaces are thinly populated in every direction with tin-si' i cattered fragments, which uro verituhle miniature pianola traveling in di.Tcrcrit orbits around the um in many instances, and serving as messengers from ono star to another in others.
