Show Meteor Shower! - EV- by on Winnecke at March 8, 1858, which wu found to Hlptla orbit around the moT la can in a period ot fire and a half years. It was shown by Winnecke to be identical with a comet dlscoTered by Pons at Marseille!, France, on June 12, 1819. This cdmet hai occasionally but been called astronomers ' generally jive It the same of Wlnnecke'i comet There Is nothing of special interest about it as a comet, lor it does not attain to naaea Syevlslhulty. Tne one urns mat is interesting about it is the fact' that it makes a very close approach to the earth's orbit; on rare occasions it i.uuu.wo miiea ot may come within - -the earth. It has been mown xor some ume that comets and meteors are closely connected, and that comets are grad ually and slowly disrupted into a stream or meteone matter wmcn is distributed along the orbit behind, the comet like a stream of dost These main particles spread out from the orbit,, and if the orbit lies near that of the earth, the earth may pass through part of the swarm. When this happens the individual particles, traveling at the rate of torty-tlv- e "miles per second, rush into lie earth's atmoenhere. where tney are instantly burned up, producing what is called a meteoric shower. Winnecke's comet during Its. pres ent apparition was discovered by Pro fessor Barnard at the Terkes observa tory on April 10. ny photography from 0 LtTS Bonn, '. t ... f -- J i J TOMORROW OR A LOWS 2.'

The comet passes closest to the earth's orbit, at a distance of 10,' 000,000 miles, on June 12, a position which the earth will attain on June 27, and there is a strong probability-tha- t we will have a meteor shower on the - nights of June 25, 26 and 27.-One of the most - notable meteor showers occurred on the night of November 27, 1885, A veritable rain of shooting stars fell from the sky, visible as soon as darkness set In over the whole earth during all ol the twenty-fou- r hours, and all apparently radiating from a common- point 'near the bright star Gamma Andromeaa, They fell in long lines of fire almost vertically, 'wlthdaj3liiuctahe--jx- . "Tight and with silent explosions, call lng to mind those of rockets. It was the remains of Blela's comet, which was discovered" in 1826 and which comes so close to the earth's orbit that ifthe comet and the earth were to arrive at the same time a collision would occur and the earth would pass through the comet s head. A- - piece of this comet was laree neough to resist the intense tempera' ture engendered by its Impact with our." atmosphere, -- which was - high enough to fuse the outer crust of Falling at Mazapil, Mexico, the ap pearance of this piece of meteoric Iron testified loudly to the experience through which it passed on Its way to the earth.
