The most important astronomical vents of Novotnbo? nro the annular eclipse of the nn on the 21st and the meteoric shower on tllb 14th. The first of these phenomena is' of little interest to Americans, since it kea placo when our sido of tho earth is turned awav from the sun. he path of annular eclipse lies liefly in the Indian Ocean, but crosses South Africa at onij end nnd Western Australia at the other. he duration of the annular phase quite long, varying from five to nearly seven minutes.

Ami there are so verm causes, any one or which, if fully operative. would prevent our Booing a conspic uous display. Jtn the first place, it has boon shown that the orbit of that liar of the meteor swarm which gave rise to tne shower or 1867 has been so changed by tho attraction of Jupiter and Saturn that it no longer exactly intersects that of tho earth. If this hange ig groat enough to keep even the outer parts of the meteor swarm way from tho earth s orbit, there will bo no more Leonid showers un less at some future time their orbit is changed back again by some fav orable planetary action. But it is by no means certain that, the actual enange in tne oruit is as groat as this. Secondly. The great showers of Leonids recorded in recent, times it will be but a few years when the imperative demand will be for wo manly counsel in our Nutonal legisla tion.

Mercury is evening star until 19t.l, the when he passes inferior con junction and boootnea morning star. At this time he is very nearly in line between the earth and sun. In fact, if tho conjunction took place but one day earlier, be would tran sit, the sun's disk. He will be too near the sun throughout the month to be well seen with the naked eye. Venus is the morning star in Vir o, rising at about 8 :30 a. m. on the 1st and 4 :30 on the 30th. She is re- coding from the oarth and is grow ing fainter, but is still much the brightest object in the morning sky. Mars is in Leo, not very far from the meteor radiant, and rises about midnight in the middle of tha month Jupiter is evening star in Sco.pio, but is so low in the west at sunset that he will not be easy to see after the middle of the month Saturn is also evening star in Sag ittarius, setting about an hour and half later than Jupiter . Uranus is in Scorpio near Jupiter, hut too near tho sun to be visible. Neptune is in Taurus, invisible to the naked eye. TUB MOON. Full moon occurs on the after noon of the 6th, last quarter on that if the 13th, new moon at the time if the eclipse on the 21st, and first piarter near noon on the 29th. The noon is nearest the earth on the 5t,h and most remote on tho 17th. She passes Neptune on the evening of the 8th Mars at noon on the 14th, Venus on the evening of the 18th, Morcnry on that of the 21st, Uranus on the night of the 22d, Jtipiternear noon of the 23d, and Saturn on the Scientiflo Princoton, October 19, 1900. were in 1799, 1833, aud 1806, 1867 and 1868. Taking the middle of the Lfternoon of tlie 24lh last three as tne main showor, the American interval between showers comes out 34 years, instead of the previously supposed 33, and the uext great shower is due in 1901, with perhaps smaller ones in 1900 and 1902. This theory, which is due to Pro fessor w. H. Pickering, seems to tho writer of the prosont note to be the most probable explanation of the fuilure of the expected shower in 1898. Thirdly. Even if the shower oo curs, it may be that tho impressive prt of it, which lasts but' a few hours, may be visible only in the Eastern Hemisphere, and that we may thus miss it. In spite of all this uncertainty, it will be well worth while to watch the sky on the nights of tho 14th and 15th. For the groat shower, if jler ipn9 Why Girls Should be Thankful. Fifty years ago the life of the av erage girl. was commonplace and dreary to the last degree. She was allowed very little education and was encouraged to be delicate be cause it was considered laayime. Her one aim and object in life was to get married, and if she failed in that she was deeply disgraced and marked for shame and contempt as an "old maid." Today she has the high privilege and blessed right of earning her own living. This makes her inde pendent, and she can remain single until love prompts her marry. If she never marries, no one despises sorry if you are dead for it may make consideration $2050.

But even so, should nywiy of them apioar, the divergance of these paths in all directions from the radiant point" inside the sickle of Leo will be conspicuous, and will afford one of the finest natural ex amples of perspective effect. At 9 p. m. on November 15 the most brillant part of the sky is near the eastern horizon. Just south ot east is Orion The line of his belt is almost vertical, and the still bright er stars Betelgeux (ou the lof() and Rigel (on the right) afford a strik ing contrast in color, the former bo. ing a strong red, and the latter pure white. North of east and also low down is Gemini, marked bv the twin stars Castor and Pollux, of nearly the first magnitude, south from which extend two lines of stars in which a little imagination sees the Twins themsolvos. Above Orin, Aldebaran and the Pleiades mark the position or laurus, anu to the north, over Gemini, is Capella, the brightest stai of Auriga. The great square of Pegasus is a little past the meridian uous row of bright stars extends from its northeast corner Androm eda and Perseus toward Auriga: The huge extent of Cetus fills most the southeastern sky, and Aries is higher up. In the southwest the only conspicuous star is Formalhaut. Vega and Altair are well down in the west, aud Cyguus is higher up. Cassiopeia is almost above the pol i, and the dipper is opposite, skirting the northern horizon.
