WEATHER, Earth To At B ; y ROBERT H. BAKER - (ty Asnvelated Presay URBANA, IIl., Oct.¢ 25.—No- vember 14 is a red letter day on; the astronomer’s: calendar. On this date the earth passes near or across the orbit of the swarm of} Leonid meteors. If the swarm is at the crossing ; point when the earth arrives, we shpll plunge through it and collide with multitudes of these meteors. There are no traffic regulations at | celestial intersections. The conse- quence of such collisions would be! a fine display of shooting stars. Moderate Shower Last Year It must be understood that. as- tronomers are not definitely pre-} dicting a spectacular meteoric shower on this date. No one can say in advance whether the earth shall encounter. a” congésted re- gion of the swarm Or. merely some of the stragglers. ' That- remains} to be seen, ‘ The Leonid. swarm _ travels around the sun once in 33 years in an elongated orbit. At inter- vals of 33 years the eafth passes near or through this rather long; swarm for two or three. years in succession. Last year, in the mid- dle of November, the earth col- lied with enough of it to produce a moderate shower of meteors. Leonid showers have occurred over more than a thousand years. A record of one of the early displays} reports that “the stars fell like rain.” . The meteoric. showers in. November, 1883 and.1866, were so brilliant that superstitious persons feared the-world was about to end. INQUIRIES: MADE OFNILES ABOUT ENSLOW SAWYER CHIEF OF POLICE IN WISCON- SIN TOWN ASKS INFORMA.)
