Has any one ever thought, he asked, of the gnat number of these meteors which visit our earth -t 'u out cn a clear evening when there is no ...ooo, ned you will not see the same number of meteors every hour, but the year round the greatest number will bo teeu towards sunrise —the average being seven an hour. The num bers sis-* differ tu the different months—more being visible in July and August than in any other months—mo»t in August. lie proceed ed t» say that, as the orbit of the earth in its r v lut. .. around the suu is an ellipse, it is of course much nearer at er e point than at the others. This point is called its perihelion, and occurs in Winter, the earth being 3,Out),000 miles newer the sun in January than in July, when it is at its aphelion cr furthest point frotn t •. sun. The reason of the colder weath er when nearer to the suu is that the rays cf heat fill oblnpaely on the earth instead of in a straight line as vi Summer. Iu Summer, hen fartht st from the sun we pass through i: re meteors, the number grow ing less from .f inu uv t » May, begins to increase and bc e j-ncs greater until August. As tbs earth re volves ou its axis, as it turns t w ards the sun, t wards su .rise the number is greater than at any • '.her tinio iu the twenty-four hours.— T.i.y g. in ail directions—pass by the earth, • .ne towards us, their orlits are as multiplex os the l dies themselves—yet they a'l have it), .r • rb.s, in which they n ve as surely a> the other heavenly l dies, and if we could see then thr ..0h the day d ultlcts there would fe many more than in the evening.

The one predicted in 1866 was but partially seen from Yale—from Greenwich at the rate of 120 per minute. I ere we only came into the edge of the shower—at Greenwich 'they were irr the thickest of it.

The old idta that they show which way the wind will blow to-morrow is enplodcd—they are far out of the atmosphere, not phenomena iu it only as they enter it and are burnt up by the collision. There are many accounts of comets having gone to pieces— perhaps they may become meteors, perhaps matter thrown elf from otlur planets— frag ments lying around in space, as earth draws near are attracted to its surface; space is infi nite, and there are millions of them iu it.
