ME1E0RS.
Their Origin .and Cause Where to
Look for Them-Illatorlcal Notices
of meteorites.
. Almost any clear night when the
moon Is absent, a low meteors may bo
itccn shootlmr about through tho sky.
Thoy look like stars, and, with good
reason, are often called shooting stars.
It should be admitted that the real stars
are at very great and mostly unknown
distances, and in general, nevor appear
to move with renpect to each other;
whilo meteors, or shooting stnrs, are
never seen outside of our atmosphore.
lhit they originally exist entirely out
side; being small solid bodies of metal
lic or stony matter tloating through
space, in orbits around tho sun, like
planets. In this original form they are
called mcteoroids. And when the earth
-meets or passes near them they are at
tracted by tho earth with great force
and enter tho atmosphere with amaz
ing velocity, which develops heat so in
tcuso as to set them on iiro, and they
burn with a most brilliant light, thus
giving them a stiir-liko appearance.
They generally burn up and vanish
whilo thev are yet high up In tho sky.
Their visfblo paths are often only a few
degrees long. Indeed ouo is occasion
ally seen without any apparent motion,
because it moves right towards us.
&nio of tho larger ones burn longer,
with greater light, and loavo a reddish
train behind them, which Is tho red-hot
ashes left streaming through the air,
and gradually disappears on cooling.
Others, still larger, with a brilliant
light, nearly reneh tho earth, and are
called lire-balls. Bomo of these
bodies probably of still greater size
fall to tho earth and penetrate tlia
noil without being entirely consumed.
8uch bodies havo been seen to fall and
taken up whilo they wero still hot.
Others havo been heard and found be
fore they got cold. Such bodies are
called meteorites meteoric stonos, and
sometimes aerolitesstones from tho
air. Somo are much smaller titan one's
hand, others as largo as a good-sized
rock, weighing several hundred pounds.
A very singular meteorite was found
many years ago near tho villngo of Tuo
koii, Arizona. It was removed to the
Smithsonian Institution, at Washington,
in November, lKO.'l. Its form is that of a
ring, about four feet in diameter. Ono
Bide is much thicker and heavier than
tho other. Its weight is about fourteen
hundred pounds. Meteoric stones have
thus been deposited in many of tho
world's museums, and aro valuablo
seientilio curiosities.
These minute planetary bodies wan
dering through spaco around tho sun,
aro much more numerous in. some
places than others, occasionally form
lug a collective ring, in some parte of
which great numbers aro met with.
And this accounts for the extraordinary
meteoric showers on record. I suppose
nearly everybody has heard of tho won
derful meteoric, shower which occurred
early in tho morning of November 13,
181):!. It seemed like all tho stars of
heaven were lnereasod in brightness
and falling to tho earth. . Tho alarm
which it caused was very great Wonder
how mnny people would be seared by
such an exhibit lou In these latter days!
A simihtr show, though not so great,
was witnessed In 179'J just thirty-four
j ears before; and another still less,
though very considerable. In exactly
thirty-throo years afterwards, viz: No
vember 13, lHliO. Hut it was much
more prominent in England than la
America.
Sometimes a largo metcorold strikes
the atmosphere with such violeuco as to
explode with a loud noise, and break in
several pieces, which fly along In their
feparntu tracks. A noted example of
tins kind was seen by many persons In
this State at nine o'clock in tho evening
of December 21, 1876. When meteor
ites aro annlvzed and examined with a
microscope, they aro found to be com
posed largely of iron, mixed with other
substances, all of which aro known to
exist ou tho earth, but in different pro
portions of combinations. So that a
meteorite, as a mass, is different from
any other body wo know of, although
of "tho samo materials differently put to
gether. llcsiuVs tho group of meteor-
oius which tho earth passes, or pene
trates, near tho middle of November
each year, there Is another which we
pass about tho 10th of August, when we
may expec t that shooting stars will bo
woro numerous than liu-y are in orui
nary clear niuhts.
Observations for a number of years
show that the August meteors generally
move In a direction from north to south,
and by extending their paths northerly
they seem to meet in the constellation
rcrseus, near the northeastern horizon.
This Is called the radiant point, and the
August meteors are called rcrselds.
' The November meteors are called
Leonids, because their radiant point is In
Leo, A Chinese record indicates the
fall of a great meteorite on January 14,
613 U. C, which "broke several chariots
mid killed ten men." Another chronicle
"informs us thut in tho year 944 A. D.,
globes of lire traversed tho atmosphere
ami burnt foveral houses." A shower
of stones fell at Home In 343 Li. C
Perhaps no other single meteorite
ever caused so great a sensation.
or created so much interest in several
wnys, as one seen to fall about noon in a
wheat-Held noarEiisishclm, Germany, on
November 7, 1 l'J'2. A strango and loud
n'lise was heard between eleven and
twelve in tho morning over a considera
ble portion of Southern Ucrmany ami
Switzerland, followed by a confused
roar, and the full of a great stone from
tho air. It was taken from a depth of
nearly six feet, and weighod two
hundred and sixty pounds. This mete
orite was a theme of general conversa
tion for a long time. Tho Emperor
Maximilian talked with the nobles about
It, and they decided the occurrence to
be a wonderful miracle from God. The
stone was ordered to bo hung up in the
church at Ensisheim, not to bo molested
by anyone. But tho Emperor must
have two pieces of it one for himself
and ono for the Duke of Austria. Many
peoplo camo to sco the wonder, and it
remained in the church for three
hundred years. In the turmoil of the
French devolution, 1790, it was re
moved to Col mar, for greater safety,
and afterward restored to its resting
place. A fragment of this interesting
relio has been secured and placed in
the British Museum, and one in the
Garden of Plants. Paris.
On the 27th of November. 1C27, Pierre
'Gassendi, a noted astronomer, witnessed
the fall of an aerolite surrounded by a
halo of rainbow colors. It was in the
southeast corner of Franco, and tho
stone weighed lifty-nine pounds. Ho,
with others, then supposed it to have
come from a volcano. In 1795, Decem
ber 13, afternoon, a man plowing in a
field in the County of York, England,
hoard a loud explosion, followed by a
hissing noiso. . lie looked and saw a
stone falling, which went several feet
in the ground not far from where ho
stood. Its weight was fifty-six pounds.
In Normandy, Northeastern France,
seen passing through tho air with a
about ono o'clock in the after
noon of tho 2Gth of April,
1803, a very brilliant fire-ball was
rapid motion, and soon a violent explo
sion was heard, the sound of which was
prolonged live or six minutes. Then
fell an immense number of mineral
fragments, of which about thrco thou
sand were picked up, many of them
weighing soveral pounds, but none
more than seventeen. A stone weigh
ing nearly seven hundred pounds, and
about ono thousand smaller ones, fell in
Hungary in 1806, and on April 20, 1876,
a mass of meteoric iron, nearly eight
pounds, fell at Kowton, England. The
fall of this meteorite was preceded by a
noise liko thunder, that shook the air
for mnny miles. It occurred near four
o'clock in tho afternoon, and was quite
not when dug from a depth of eighteen
inches an hour afterward. Those are
only a few of numerous meteoric phe
nomena which have been observed at
different times in many parts of tho
world. W. Dawson, in Indianapolis
Journal.
Lightning.
At this time of tho year one commonly
reads of persons struck dead, blind or
senseless by lightning; soma of the phe
nomena aro very puzzling, especially in
cases whero persons are but slightly in
jured.
tin June b, iwi, I was in the open
country near the sea between Uosport
and Southampton, in a place where
there was no shelter. Here I was sud
denly overtaken by a violent storm of
thunder, lightning and rain, licforo I
had time to think of escape, the air be
came darkened by tho pouring rain, and
to savo myself from a drenching I, per
haps foolishly, put up my umbrella: at
the same instant I saw a blaze of lire on
tho right-hand side of mv face; the thun
der burst tho same moment, and a vio
lent wrenching pain soized the lingers
of my right hand (which held the um
brella), the pain instantly traveling to
mv elbow and shoulder, whero it ceased.
it h tho exception of a strong pain in
the arm like rheumatism for the rest of
tho dav, 1 fglt no further ill effects.
There' is a blind beggar sometimes
scon about hero who carries a label stat
ing that his eyes wero destroyed by
lightning; there is no iris to either eye;
both are quito white. One day lately 1
askedJiim how ho lost his sight. Ho
said that ho was leaving a country pub
lic house during a thunder storm, and
ho received tho blow from tho lightning
at tho street door, as, ho stood on the
ton of a short llight of stono steps.
Ho could only remember seeiug tho
blaze of the lightning, and being hurled
to tho ground down tho stops Into tho
street. Ou his senses returning, ho was
blind. Ho states that ho had a little
glimmering sight at tho tlmo of recov
ery, but first ouo eyo and then tho other
soon becamo totally blind. '
A few years ago several letters ap
peared in Nature regarding tho descent
of balls of tiro in thunder storms. On
July 6, 1881, whilo watching a storm,
from my windows at 11:30 p. m., I dis
tinctly saw in tho south a ball of lire
drop from tho clouds to the earth. Tho
descent was rapid, but not comparable
with lightning, ami with an inclination
to tho east. The ball appeared large,
and about ono-half or ouo-third tho ap
parent bizo of tho moon. A carpenter
who was working for me at tho time,
Mr. George llebb, on calling upon mo a
few days after tho storm, told mo (I
had not previously mcntioued tho mat
ter to him) that ho had seen the descent
of the same ball of lire from Mildmay
park while he was walking toward the
south, It is the only example 1 have
seen. Worthington O. Smith, tit Na

A bright little fellow about eight
years of ago was very anxious to go to

latter, "you can't go; you'ro too little."
"Oh, no, papa," he said stoutly, "I'm a
big boy." -All right," said his father,
"come along." On tho way home the
little fellow becamo tired and wanted
his father to carry him. "I thought
you were a olg boy," said his lather,
pretending to sneer. "I was a big boy
when I started out," he said, "but
I'm a little boy now." He was carried
tho rest of the way. Boston Glob.

Immense Shrinkage of Real Estate.
I havo for a long timo felt that we
must look for a simple and natural
explanation cf earthquakes. I never
felt much favor for tho hypothesis, onco
so popular, that earthquakes aro duo to
electrical disturbances, though they are
often attendod by electrical or magnetic
phenomena. Tho latter I should regard
as tho effect rather than tho cause of
tho quaking. It is very probable the
earth is shrinking, and tins contraction
has lirst a tendency to consolidate and
then to wrinkle tho crusts, as it wero.
Geologists tell us that the Atlantio
coast in these latitudes is slowly subsid
ing. The samo phenomenon lias been
noticed elsewhere on tho globe.- Now
ono can easily see that if the interior of
tho earth is molten cither In tho mass,
or in separate masses divided by solidi
fied matter, ns is more probable, thoso
molten parts must bo radiating heat
and consequently contracting all the
while. Tho globo will bo growing
smaller all the while, and tho outside
shell or crust will get too largo for tho
kernel within, and must shrink, too
forced down by its weight. At lirst
there would be a condensation of mat
ter. Strains would bo created, until
finally the shell would givo way at some
weak point; there would bean upucaval
or wrinkling of tho earth's crust or an
earthquake along the lino of least resist
ance, rossibiy the mountains were
formed in this way; and this hypothesis
furnishes a verv neeeotable explanation
of the faults and displacements of strata
which geologists have observed. In
fact, I rather thiuk that geologists have
used this hypothesis but x have not the
data at baud to verify mv impression.
A complicated theory, involving fissures
In the earth s crust, cavities containing
molten matter, and sudden precipita-
uon oi water into mese cavities who
generation of steam under enormous
pressure, lias also been advanced to ac
count for earthquakes. But the idea
that earthquakes are simply tho result
of the gradual contraction of the earth
that is going on all the while seems to
me both natural and logical. iro,

The Mechanic.
A man who is thorough master of a
trade carries his capital in his head.
Ho is independent, and should bo self
reliant. a his servicos will always be In
requisition, uf.less, perchance, Jio has
drifted Into seme soction of tho world
whoro trado and manufactures aro in a
state of decadence. It may be an ex
cellent thing to endow a youth with a
splendid education, but often we find
such young men failures In a business
way. But tlwro is no excuse for a tirst
class mochanlo or engineer ever being
fouud in such an unfortunate plight.
The man possessing a good seientilio or
mechanical education who can not
make his way successfully through life
must bo composed of very poor materi
al. The good mechanic needs no gold
en ladder to aid him in rising to success,
nor Is there occasion for his reliance on
social standing, or on the good ollices
of influential frionds to open a path to
fortune. Indeed, instead of Booking for
fr ends they will seek him. An expert
gal vanizer a fow weeks since was thrown
out of employment, and scarcely had
the doors of his mill boon closed ero
there came a telegram from a mill 1,000
m les awny urgontly requesting bisserv
ices there. A representative of an
extensive manufactory, in speaking of
good mechanics recently, said: "We
still have diliculty in obtaining all the
export help we need. This matter
sometimes assumes a serious aspoct, and
we fear often that we can not run our
works to their best advantage for lack of
tho proper assistance."
We here speik of the higher grade of
workmen of men who aro proficient
and who have mastered their calling;
but mechanics who have not risen to
eminence, but havo acquired a good
rcputatiqn, are in most favorable posi
tions, far better than the hordo of ill
paid clerks, salesmen and collectors,
who havo chosen a calling that will
save them from begriming their hands
with dirt and permitting them to Wear
good clothes. Tho Boston Commercial
llullelinM speaking of the importance
of tho position of the mechanic, very
forcibly remarks:
"Each ensuing day makes more
prominent tho fact that we have come
upon tho time when tho mechanic is
master. We havo crowded professions
and ill-filled trades. A chance to fill
the position of sub-assistant clork in a
wholesale house is eagerly grasped at
by a hundred applicants, though tho
wages received bo scarcely more than
'a chance to loam the business.' Lot
a master workman try to obtain an ap
prentice at three times tho salary offered
the clerk, and his applicants will bo
poor alike in quantity and quality. A
skilled workman in any trado need
never want for hire; ho is eagerly sought
after by a hundred employers; ho is inde
pendent of tho condition of tho market;
the skill and cunning of his hand and
cyo are too valuable to loso, and must
be paid whothor the products are slow
ly or rapidly consumed. If business
ceases, the master hand is eagerly soized
by somo rival house, which knows and
values the product of his skill. He who
would crush down the obstacles to suc
cess in our own days must have as
well as the wit .to see the crevico, tho
strength to deal the blow. This is an
ago of the steam-engine, and it is tho
engineer, not tho conductor, who is
mastor."
The men who can do a piece of exact
mechanical work, or who can invent a
successful working machine or plan its
erection, is a valuable memborof society.
Ho. is a producer, and tho world is both
richer and bettor for his presence. lEs
calling demands a lino development of
intellectual thought, and, although the
mental conception requisite to do a lino
bit of mechanical work may not bo of
tho same high order as that requ'red of
a sculptor or pmnto , vet it is of a high
degree of merit, and mny equal, in
special circumstances, the etforts of tho
best artist in any of tho various schools.
It is a narrow-minded man who de
spises tho mechanic because of the sur
roundings of his labor. Those who
look down on him are generally men of
inforior intelligence, who possess a poor
conception of what Is worthy ot ad mi
ration, and whose esteem would be of
little credit to any one Jeweler Jour
nal. His Suspicions Here Continued.
A mild-mannered, athletic-looking
young man stepped up to a stranger at
tho corner of Milk and Devonshire
streets yesterday aud pullod a twenty
dollar bill out ot his vo; t po.-ket. "I sus
peot," said ho, confidentially, that thai
is a counter eiL Can you tell mo if it

Tho strangor looked tho bill over and

tell himself whether it was bad or not,
but if the mild-mannered, athletic-

Tho young man cros-ed over and pro

word "counterfeit'' was cut across it in

"Why, you poor thing," said the
young man, "you havo spoiled it! What
are you going to give mo in place of it?
I can't pass that tiling now."
"Lucky thing for you," said the

British u'lilnna Forests.
In tho Quiet rcachos of tho rivor be
tween tho cataracts tho scenery was
extremely beautiful, but tho thickness
of tho fore (t mado it impossible, except
when vory near the shore, to distin
guish thj picturesque kinds of vegeta
tion peculiar to the tropics from the
vast wall of green which nodgod us in.
It was only when taking our miuuay
rcst.orat our camps for tho night, that!
was able to study the tlora around mo and
note the beauty and profusonoss of iti
forms. Orchids were abundant enough,
and. although I saw no species of
great rarity, ye', s sveral kinds which
were in llower at me lime were very
lovely. Bromclias and tillandsias grew
in thousands, and the immense leaves
of the pothos were seen everywhore. In
one or two places I noticed the rare and
beautiful climbing palm (desmoncus),
and in the open parts of the forest were
great numbers of calad urns, the vari-
" . . l , I . ,,!
colored leaves oi wniou are so inmniur
in our hothouses.
Animal life was in noway prominent.
although there could bo no doubt that
the forest was thickly peopled, for at
night as wo sat around the camp-tiro or
lay in our hammocks many were the
weird sounds that came from tho thick
jungle noar by. Tho nightly concert
was usually started by tho bo'sun, a
largo cicada, who sat in the trco tops
and blow a tremulous whistle which
could bo heard to a great distance. He
was followed by the hylas, or tree
toads, who gave vent to every conceiv
able sound, from that of the sawing of
wood to tho clanking of many chains,
and wero accompanied in their vo:al
efforts by their relations in the marshes,
who kept up a deep and not unmusical
bass. . All night long the goatsuckers
nover desisted from their melancholy
moaning, aud once in awhile a strange.
mouruful wail camo from the forest,
causing us to start and shivor as we
heard it. It was the note of tho
bird called lost soul. Once or twico
tho loud, deep roar of the jaguar was
heard, and it never ailod to cause a
nanio among the Indians, who invaria
bly moved their hammock-poles nearer
the water or raised the hammocks high
er in tho trees to bo out of the tiger's
reach should he pass our way. Out of
all the appalling, blood-curdling sounds
that were heard in those tropical woods
nono could equal the noise that came
from the throat of tho red-coated,
black-faced, howling monkey (mycotes
seniculusi, tho "baboon of the colony,
Occasionally some of these baboons fa
vored us with a little rehearsal during
the night, but it was towards morning
that the concert itself began, and then,
until I became accustomed to it, there
was no more sleep for me. Words are
inadequate to describe the sound which
these animals produce. It is something
between a howl and a roar, with an oo
caslonal grunt thrown in, tho whole be
ing delivered with about the intensity
of a fog-wh'stlo, and the concei t being
participated in by baboons for mUes
around, n lien an uiese icuows aro at
tending strictly to business the result in
the way of a noise may be imagined.
Tracks of the tapir were soveral times
seen in marshy places near the river
bank, and I sometimes got a Ehot at

river. Iguanas ca'led "Waimueka ' by
tho Indians, frequently tumbled from
tho branches into tno stream wnen we
paddled near the sho.e, aud on two
occasion? somo of our men brought in
peearios, or bush-hogs, which they
had shot with their arrows near our
camp, and which proved a most wel
come addition to our larder, notwith
standing their rankuoss; but visible
gamo was scarce, and a man would
havo had a poor living who depended
on his gun for support. Cor. Chicago

SICK HEADACHE.

suffer periodical tortures. In our admin
