Meteors This Month.
Astronomers all over the country are
looking forward to the possible brilliant
display of meteors next Saturday and
Sunday night. Once in 33 years at about
this time in November these meteors
'appear. November 12, 1833, a shower
is reported to have caused consternation
among the fgnorant negroes of the south
' while it attracted attention1 all over the
world, Descriptions ' published at the
time say that the air seemed as full of
falling stars as flakes in a snow storm. A
remarkable dieplay was witnessed in
Europe in 1866, lasting for six or seven
hours. Leonids, so-called from the
fact that they Beemed to radiate from a
point in the constellation Leo, are there
fore due to return in force in 1S99, but
the earth will doubtless meet the ad
vance guard this year or next, while the
camp followers will probably appear
in small numbers as late as 900. The
fullness of the moon will probably inter
fere somewhat with observations this
year and next, but there is a good chance
to see something spectacular if the
watch is kept up late enough, for
L?o this month does not rise until about
midnight.
Another shower due this month is the
Andromedes, from the constellation An
dromeda. This shower should be seen
. about the 27th of the month. They ap
pear every id years in nnusual nora
bers, the last two times being in '72 and
'85, so that the period will be completed
in 1898. It is not iinprobnble however
that they will appear in sufficient num
bers this year to cause comment.
Cuh In loor Check.
All countv warrants, registered prior
t) July 7, 1893, will be paid at my
office. Interest ceases after Oct. 27th,
1897. C. L. Phillips,

A GEEAT FEAT.
The Mesa Enoan tada
Last.
Explored at
After Many Year of Conjecture the
Troth Comralng the Famous ,
Roek la Xoir l'osltlrelr
Known.
For the first time in the history ol
man the celebrated Mesa has . been
mounted. The honor belongs to Prof.
William Libbey, pi Princeton universi
ty, Xcw Jersey, and the fact has been
scientifically established that the sum
mit is uninhabited, and, as far as the
party could discover, ' has ever been.
There were absolutely no traces" of ani
xal life.- r - -
' It may be thai new specimens of flora
have been found that existed in the
prehistoric v.crlJ, but sufficient exam
ination has not yet been made to de
termine this fact. The Mesa Enean
iada is caid to be the only spot on the
fuee of the globe where the flowers of
the period of long ago can exist without
the contamination and war of plant life
with the world of the present day.
Trof. .Libbey succeeded iu making his
mueh-talkcd-of ascent of theencantada
a few days ago. The trip to the summit
was fraught with great perils, and. the
result is of little value from an arch
aeological standpoint.
The party consisted of Prof. Libbey,
IT. L. Bridge niah, of Brooklyn, and the
correspondent of the Times-Herald.
Every preparation had been, made for
the uscent, there were great kites and
balloons ready for use, but it was decid
ed to throw a line across the top of the
Mesa with a gun, borrowed for the pur
pose from the United States life-saving
service. - '
The first shot was too low. The sec
ond, carrying a steel wire, went over
the summit, but took two days to draw
the cord which was attached to a long
er ropi? over the rough, rocky surface
of. the spot described by Goronado in
his report to the king of Spaiu nearly
three centuries ago as being the strong
est natural fortification in the known
world. ' :
When the ropes were made fast a
block was arranged, and a great chain
of boards, 20 feet across, was fastened
to it. A huge rock was sent to the sum
mit without tipping, and then Prof.
Libbey made the ascent. It was dan
gerous, exceedingly so. As the pro
fessor' came close to the summit he had
to bang on by one hand, while with the
other, he disengaged the ropes of the
chair, which had caught in the rough
rocks. The remainder of the party then
made the ascent, and were assisted on
the surface by. the professor.
Xext a great difficulty presented it
self in the form of a gaping chasm. This
was crossed on the ropes, and the ten
acres of the surface of the rock were ex
plored by the daring scientists.
They spent the entire : day there,
searching for the evidences of the vil
lage, said to have existed 500 years ago,
but there was nothing to indicate that
it ever had existed in reality. There
were monuments of rock, such as the
Indians built in the ages that have'
gone by, but that was all.
There were some pools of water that
had callected, but whether they were
worn .by the action of small particles
of rock carried by the windsorwhetber
they were in reality constructed by the
Acoma Indians in the centuries that
have gone down into the silence of the
past is not known. - .
Search was made for the bones of the
human beings whom the legend of the
haunted rock describes as having been
starved to death there, but they were
not found.
It is assumed by botanists that this
great rock, which rises over 700 feet
from the surface of a desert of sand.
protruded out of -the ancient sea that
covered this section of the world in the
distant past, and that the flora is the
same to-day as it was in those days,
when the world was young nnd of which
history has no account. Specimens,
such cs there were, were collected, but
whether they belong to this day and
age or to the realms of the prehistoric
world is not known.
This rock, enchanted or haunted, ns it
has been called by the Acoma Indians.
has been the center of scientific inter
est for years. Numerous attempts have
been made to mount it, only to be
doomed to failure.
The legend of the Indians is that the
summit of the rock was once reached
by a natural ladder in a pillar. .On this
place the old and decrepit were kept to
shield them from the attacks of hostile
foes, while the men were in the valley
at work.t Once a great torrential rain
crime, like a cloudburst, and ate away
the sandy foundations of the pillar,
which fell, and the inhabitants on the
rock, several hundred in , number,
starved to death.. ' ,
It has even been asserted that the
place was inhabited,- and the ascent by
the Libbey party was made to set at
rest the rumors and determine once and
for all whether or not the stories as
told were true. Chicago Times-Herald.
Rich and Poor In India.
Our standard of civilization is per-
! sonal comfort luxury, a thing abso-
llltdlv nntnnu'n in. nolir. Trwllo TV,
is scarcely any difference in the mode of
living between the rich and the poor.
If you go into the house of a rajah, there
Ms the same bare floor, and only a simple
platter to eat from, such as is seen in the
home of the poorest. To put it crudely,
there will probably not be even the
luxury of a wash basin and towel, for
the rich man, like his poor brother, he
washes in the open and dries himself
in the sun. -Such is the extreme sim
plicity of life that wealth is still buried
in India; a man may spehd it on jewels
for his wife, bnt not on pleasure or per
sonal comfort. This simple life, which
fostered no distinctions 'of class," has
been preserved for 3,000 years by In
dian civilization, but oura will destroy it
in 50 years. Humanitarian. '
