What is a fixed star? 6. What does an astronomer mean by a binary system? Answers to these questions in Monday's Star. The Leonids. The most splendid display of me- teors is that of the Leonids, which occurs in the Fall of the year, every vear, as the orbit of the earth cuts through the orbit of the meteors, and the meéteors, heated by friction with the earth’s atméphere, burst into flame for a few seconds. But what long puzzled astronomers was why every 33 years there was a larger dis- play of them than ordinary, often so bright as to seem like the bursting of rockets, even in daytime. For three years fogether there would be this dazzling display, then 30 years of cnly a moderate numbar of meteors. At last somebody suggested the {dea (really very simple once somebody thought of it) that the long ring of meteors was thicker at one end of its chain and the earth in three succes- sive vears came back to meét this dense mob of meteors, like a 1ong fro | cesston passing by.
