Scientific paper

ON the evening of November 27, Prof. Tingley, of Asbury University, Greencastle, Indiana, observed a remarkable shower of falling stars. The number counted in 40 minutes, from 7h. 15m. to 7h. 55m., was 110. This would give 165 per hour for one observer. But according to Prof. Newton (Slliman's Journal, for January 1868, p. 80), the whole number visible at any station, when the sky is entirely clear, is five times the number seen by a single observer. The enumeration by Prof. Tingley accordingly indicates an actual fall of 825 per hour.
