SKIKS FILLED WITH METEORS.
Savannah Star-gazers Have to
Late Hours to See Them.
Last right and to-night were the nights
for the great meteor showers which as
tronomers have been predicting. There is
scarcely a clear night when the watchful
observer of the heavens may not see a me
t. or two; but there are special seasons
and years when these wanderers from out
er space stray Into the earth's atmosphere
in much greater abundance.
The most magnificent displays of this
, ~i-s now on record were those of Novem
ber, hB3 and 18R6. A recurrence of the
phenomenon, In Its fullest glory, is not
looked for by astronomers until 1899. But
tnc advance guard was visible In 1831 and
JB.y. and again in 1864 and 1865, There is
a reasonable chance, therefore, that if the
w , i;her is fine at Just the right time this
year something out of the ordinary will be
witnessed.
It is now generally ■believed that meteor
ites are the wreckage of comets. The
greatest swarms of these bodies now
Known have been found to move through
vast elliptical orbits identical with those
of comets that have gone to pieces. The
particular system here considered, known
u. the Leonids, require over thirty-three
j, ar? to make a complete circuit, and,
therefore, it is only at such intervals that
the maximum number of particles in the
loose aggregation reach that point in their
journey where they cross the earth’s path.
But the procession is becoming gradually
strung out somehow, so that a few of the
tiny, cold, Invisible bodies constituting the
swarm get to the meeting-place a year or
two ahead of time. Such as become ser
liously entangled in the earth’s atmos
phere never get out again; for by friction
they are heated to incandescence—they
shine for a few seconds while being con
sumed,and then leave only a trace of smoke
and dust. Bttt so enormous is the num
ber composing the main system that this
robbery, even to the extent of millions,
seems to make no sensible reduction in the
quantity that is left.
The schedule time for the earth’s arri
val at the cross roads was last night and
to-night. W. F. Denning, one of the
great English authorities on meteor show
ers, says that a watch should be main
tained on the two following days also. The
stream is wide as well as long, and, though
the meteorites are widely separated, there
is a possibility of seeing some of them for
about four days. The spot in the skies
from which these meteors seem to proceed
is in the constellation Leo. Every ama
teur star-gazer is familiar with the sickle
shaped combination of stars in this group.
What is called the "radiant point" is in
side the hook of the sickle. Leo does not
i ise until midnight at this season. For
this and for other reasons the hours just
before dawn are more favorable to obser
vation of Leonids. One should scan the
northeastern heavens for this purpose.
In order to enable one to decide whether
any meteor which he sees belongs to the
thirty-three-year system, or some other,
it is desirable to note from what region
in the skies it seems to start. It has been
suggested that amateur observers will find
it helpful to have a light, straight wand
within easy reach, if not actually in hand.
At the Instant a meteor is seen this wand
is held up against the sky to mark the
path approximately, and serves as a guide
to the eye after the luminous streak has
disappeared.
The chances are that the visible starting
point will not be very close to the celestial
sickle; but If the line along which it
moves, being extended backward In im
agination, intersects Leo, then the meteor
may be safely regarded as a true Leonid,
no matter in what direction It travels—up
ward, downward, sideways or slantwise
Another test may be found In the color
of the shooting star. Leonids are usually
blue or green, though not invariably. An
other set of meteors, seen in July and
August, and called Perseids, because they
appear to come from the constellation Per
seus, ore usually yellowish.
SAM DAVIS.
NgSam Davis is one of the most heroic
Azures in the history of the Lost Cause.
He was taken prisoner by the federate and
tried by courtmartial upon the charge of
being a spy. The youth’s magnificent
bearing won the admiration of the fed
erals, and he was offered his life if he
would give certain desired information
His reply was. ‘lf I had a thousand lives
I would give them all before I would be
tray iny friends.” The sentence of the
courtmartial was then carried out, and
young 'Sam Davis was hanged. The fol
lowing poem, written by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox for the Confederate Veteran, is
in honor of the hero:)
When the Lord calls up earth’s heroes
To stand before his face,
Oh, many a name unknown to fame
Shall ring from that high place!
And out of a grave in the Southland,
At the just God’s call and beck,
Shall one man rise with fearless eyes
And a rope about his neck. i
For men have swung from gallows
Whose souls were white as snow.
Hot how they die nor where, but why,
Is what God's records show.
And on that mighty ledger
Is writ Sam Davis' name—
For honor’s sake he would not make
A compromise with shame.
The great world lay before him,
For he was in his youth,
With love of life young hearts are rife,
Hut better he loved truth.
He fought for his convictions,
And when he stood at bay
He would not flinch or stir one inch
From honor's narrow way.
They offered life and freedom
If he would speak the word;
In silent pride he gazed aside
As one who had not heard.
They argued, pleaded, threatened—
H was but wasted breath.
Tai come what must, I keep my trust,"
He said, and laughed at death.
He would not sell his manhood
To purchase priceless hope;
T here kings drag down a name and crown
He dignified a rope.
Ah , grave! where was your triumph?
Ah. death! where was your sting?
, showed you how a man could bow
To doom and stay a king.
And God, who loves the loyal
Because they are like him,
doubt not yet that soul shall set
Among his cherubim.
•Southland! fling your laurels;
And add your wreath, O North!
h’lory claim .the hero’s name,
And tell the world his worth.

CHEATING O.V BEER.
Healers Who Sell All Sorts of Adul
terated StiilT.
From the New York Tribune.
The growing popularity of beer as a
beverage manifests Itself In the United
States by the Increase In the number of
breweries, and the fact that beer drink
ers are becoming fastidious about the qual
ity of their beer is shown by the Increase
In the Importations from Austria and Ger
many.
Many popular beer places make imported
beer a specialty, and charge twice as much
lor It as for the domestic article. The
shape of the glass and the color of the
beer usually Indicate the particular kind
of beer, and a man takes It for granted
that, when he asks for a certain kind of
beer, and it cornea in the properly shaped
glasa and has the correct shade of brown,
he has been properly served.
His Inference Is correct bo far as some
places are concerned, but there are others
where the eredullty of the customer and
hts inability to detect a well-planned fraud
give the unscrupulous beer seller an op
portunity to swindle his customer, and he
does.
A man sat near “the tap” In a down
town beer place recently, where a great
many people go “because the imported
beer Is straight,” and saw his glass come
from under the counter half full before
It was held under the faucet from which
the beer was drawn. He Investigated, and
saw the beer butcher fill other glasses
with slops and left-overs through an in
strument like a tea strainer, and then
complete the measure by drawing beer
with a head from the genuine barrel,
'Mixing flat with good beer Is a practice
of dally occurrence in some of the im
ported places, and others go so far as to
use domestic brews of the same color for
adulterating purposes.
Occasionally the trick comes to the sur
face, as in the case where the barkeeper
was discovered In the act of using dregs
as a foundation for the expensive drink
and people remain away from the fraud
shop, and the erafty saloonkeeper won
ders why his business in imported beer
has fallen off;
5
