SAW NO METEORS IN THE EASTERN STATES CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—Chicago and the Mississippi Valley went to bed this morn- ing without catching a glimpse of the star-shower of Leonids for which they have waited a third of a century. From Davenport east to New York, according to the dispatches recelved by the Weather Bureau, the sky was overcast to a degree which blotted out all the stars and made satisfactory observation of the meteoric shower an impossibility.
