As the earth crosses the orbits of certain somete, shooting stars oppour, indisting that streams of frigmants are following in the wake of the cometa - Mr. W. F. fisnning the British astronomer, has lately suggested that meteors radiating from the constellation Aquirits during the first week in May are in the orbit of the famous Haley's comet, the 75-year visitor now being so eagerly awaited, and as these meteors are visible nearly every year, the comet dust must form an immense elliptical ring reaching from near the sup to a point beyond Neptune's orbit. The streaza being densest just behind the comet, a great shower may come near the perihelion passage probably in May, 1910.

The great size of Jupiter, its mass being greater than all other planets combined and 213 times that of the earth, gives it great possible infuence upon stick wanderers from space & comete.

The phonograph is suggested by a French photographer as a means of timing when a clook cannot be watched. He has fitted his machine with a cylinder counting from 1 to 240 with intervals of one second between the numbers.

The electric hydroscope of J. Panchon, as described to the Paris Academy of Sciences, is so extremely sensitive that it indicates the variations in motet vapor emanated from differ ent parts of the hand, the back of the hand at half an inch from the instrument causing the spot of light indicator to be deflected about two inches on the scale, while the end of the finger gives much stronger action.
