Scientific paper

I OBSERVED a most beautiful star-shower on the night of the 5th inst., at about a quarter to nine o'clock. It crossed the ``tail'' of Ursa Major in a direction almost easterly, and slanting towards the earth at about an angle of 30°. At first the phenomenon resembled the flight of a flock of wild geese, but after a little the nearer stars inclined towards the earth more than those farthest away, so that in all I could see about thirty stars. I write to you as the period of recorded star-showers mentioned in Prof. Ansted's Physical Geography, is from Dec. 6th to 13th, and I observed this star-shower on the 5th December.
