Brilliant Meteor
May Be Forerunner
Of November Swarm
Reports from many observers that
they saw a great meteor with a greenish
light sweep across the heavens Sunday
night -indicate that the earth may be
nearlng the path of the Leonids, which
do not usually appear until mid-November.
The Leonids are a swarm of
meteors, so named because they appear
to have their point-of origin -in -the
constellation ' Leo, astronomers say. It
was this stream which produced the
great star showers,, of 1&S3 and 1866.
They are described as growing fainter
every year because of the dissipating
effect f-other bodies. - - - " - ' -
The earth recently passed through the
Perseids, or August meteors.
It is regarded aa probable that the
meteor witnessed . Sunday- night may
have been a tardy or early display from
one of these two celestial streams.

It was said by street railway officials
today, that It- would be necessary to es

periods of the day while the foundation
