should ever tile, writes M. J. Savage Iu

Tlio Idle of a rilioollii HI nr.
A small body, perhaps as large ns a
pavlng-stono or larger more often,
perhaps, not as large as a ninrhln Is
moving around tlio sun. Just as a
mighty planet revolves in an ellipse,
so tills small object will move round
tinil round in tin ellipse, with the sun
in tlio focus. Thorn are at the present
moment inconceivable myriad of such
meteor moving in tills manner. They
nro too small, and too ili-tnut for our
telescopes, anil wo can never see them
except under extraordinary circum
stances. At the time we see the me
teor It is usually moving with enor
mous velocity, so that il often traverses
adlstaneo of more than twenty miles
in a second of time. Such a velocity is
almost impossible near the earth's sur
face, the resistance of the air would
prevent it. Aloft In the cnipilnuss of
space thoro Is no air to resist the me
teor. It may have been moving round
and round l liu sun for thousands, per
haps for millions, of years without lot
or lilnduraiico; but the supremo mo
ment arrives, and the meteor perishes
In a streak of splendor. In Ibe course
of Us wanderings the body comes near
the earth, and within n few hundred
miles of tlie surface, of course, begins
to encounter the surface of the iitmos
liherowilli which tlie earth is inclosed.
To a body moving with the appalling
velocity of a meteor a plunge into the
atmosphere is usually fatal. Even
though the upper layers of the air are
excessively attenuated, yet they sud
denly check the velocity, nlmost us a
rille bullet would bo cheeked when
fired Into water. As the meteor rushes
through the atmosphere the friction of
tlie air warms Its surface, lirmlimlly
it becomes red hot, then while hot, and
Is finally driven oil' into vapor with a
brilliant light, while we on the earth,
100 or iiOO miles below, exclaim:
