FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19, 1881.
The Bombardment of the Earth.
N. Y. Sun.
"It's lucky for us that the earth has
such a geed bombproof en the skyward
side," said the astronomer en Wednesday
morning last as he steed ceatlcss and bare
headed en the reef watching the August
meteors.
" Why ?" asked the reporter, pautiug as
he clambered up through the scuttle
hole.
" You'd have seen reason enough if you
had been up here with me the last two
hours," said the astronomer. " Why, the
earth has been undergoing a regular bom
bardment. It's net ever yet. Loek at
that fellow, hew he skims ! Yeu would
call it a sheeting star. Well, there's as
much reason for calling it a celestial shell.
If these British artillerists could give their
projectiles a velocity like that, they might
plant their guns en the Welsh mountains
and shell every troublesome teuent in Ire
land out of his hut. That metcoreid was
moving twenty or thirty miles a second ;
yet it could net get thieugh the bomb
proof that protects the earth."
" Where is the bomb-proof ?"
" Why right under your nose ; all around
you.; it's the atmosphere. When the
mctcoreids strike the air that surround
the earth the heat produced iu consequence
of their terrible velocity runs up a million
degrees or mero a second, and iu a twiuk
ling they are changed te vapor. If tlicy
could get through the atmosphere they
would make it lively for us. Ne man
could tell at what instaut he might be
struckjdewn by a shot from the sky, for
mcteoreids are plunging into the attnos attnes attnos
plicre all the time at the rate of .several
millions a day for the whole earth. At
certain times, as about the 10th of August
and the leth of November, tlicy come in
showers and fairly bombard the earth.
The soft air that fans the cheek is te most of
these projectiles from space as impenetra
ble as a wall of steel. Seme of them,
however, .ire able te penetrate te the earth,
but they are comparatively very few in
number. When a metcoreid strikes the
earth it is called au aerelite Ne geed
museum of mineralogy is without ene or
mere specimens of these black-crusted,
iren-like bodies. Humboldt tells of two
monks who were killed by them, one at
C'rcma in 1511, the ether at Milan, in 1630.
He also relates that two Swedish sailors
were killed by au aerelite en beard their
ship in 1074. The thatched reefs of houses
have becn set en fire by aerolites, and sheep
and ether animals have been struck dead
in the field by thorn. Sume think it was a
shower of aerolites that overwhelmed the
Ameritcs after they had been whipped by
Jeshua, as described iu the Uiblc."
"But these are rather ancient instances."
' Well, thcie arc modern instances
enough. We aic no safer than our fore
fathers. Hardly a year passes without
ene or mero masses of meteoric stene fall
ing in the neighborhood of human habita
tions. Iu 1875 a German farmer was shot
through the arm by a small aerelite,
which made a hole like a bullet. In 1878
a boy at Hanau had a pieee of his thumb
clipped off by a burning stene that fell
from the sky. About two years age a boy
at Patterson, N. J., was said te have been
hit in the leg by an aerelite. His story
was doubted, but I believe it was never
disproved, and certainly it was net im
possible. A man is iu mere danger of be
ing killed by lightning than by an aerelite,
but it would net be se if the air did net
protect him.
" If you will notice the diiectieu of the
mctcoreids new falling you will sec that
they all seem te ceme from ene point in
the constellation Perseus. That is a pecu
liarity of all regular swarms of meteoroids.
The radiant point shows the direction iu
which the mcteoreids are moving with re
spect te the earth's eibit. If you watch
the heavens en the nights of Nev. 13 and
i: you will sce meteoroids all seeming te
come from a point in the constellation Lee.
This November swarm is the most famous
of all. Seme of the mcteoreids belonging
te it appear every year, but once iu about
thirty-three years they fall in perfect
showers. They were seen by llumbelt iu
Seuth America in 1799 ; in 1803 they ap
peared iu the United States, and in 18GU in
Europe. They ate due again in about
eighteen years. The shower iu 183!) is
very famous. It caused mero terror than
the most frightful comet ever did. There
is a description by a Seuth Carolina
planter that has been ficqucntly quoted in
astronomical works, but never loses its
interest :
" I was suddenly awakened by the most
distressing cries that ever fell en my eats.
Shrieks of horror nnd cries for mercy I
could hear from most of the negrees of
three plantations, amounting in all te
six. or eight hundred. While earnestly
listening for the cause 1 heard a faint voice
near the deer calling my name. I arose,
and taking my sword steed at the deer.
At this moment I heard the same voice
still beseeching me te rise, atid saying, ' O
mv Ged, the world is en lire !' I then
opened the deer, and it is difficult te say
which excited me most, the awlulucss el
of the scene or the distressed cries of the
negrees. Up waul of-euc hundred lay pros pres pros
trate en the ground some speechless and
seme with the bitterest cries, but most
with their hands raised, imploring Ged te
save the world and them. The scene was
awful, for never did rain fall much thicker
than the meteors fell toward the earth :
east, west, ueith ami south it was the
same."
" There are many elhcr rcceids el great
meteoric showers, and in several instances
the earth has been covered with a deposit
of black or red dust after them. Most of
these mcteoreids are small bodies, some,
perhaps, net larger thau peas. Others are
very large, being several feet, or even seve
ral yards, in diameter. It is believed that
a shower of huge aerolites roust have fallen
at seme time in northern Mexico, for the
ground has bcen found strewn with masses
of meteoric iron. A very famous aerelite
fell at iEges Potames about 409 years be
fore Christ. It was said te be as large as
two mill-stones. Humboldt, who say3 that
the stone suspended ever the tomb of Mo
hammed is an aerelite, never gave up the
hope that medern travellers might yet fmd
the .Egos Potames stone.
" Big aerolites make a great display of
light as they rush .through the air. As
they strike the denser portion of the at
mosphere they often seem te explode,
sometimes making a loud detonation, and
are scattered in showers of many colored
fragments. A beautiful specimen of this
kind of aerelite was seen by many per
sons in and about New Yerk seme three
weeks age. As it appeared te burst like a
rocket, its substauce probably reached the
earth in very small fragments, or in the
form of dust. '
" Meteors fellow iu the track of comets.
With a little stretch of the imagination we
may fancy a comet, like a celestial man of
war, sailing by and pouring a broadside
into the earth, whose atmosphere, like a
breastwork of cotton bales, swallows up
the projectiles without damage te its de
fenders. There is something very sugges
tive in Dr. Draper's idea that comets may
contain the remains of organic life. If
the comets contain such remains, then
aerolites de ; and when you pick up one of
these bodies in a museum, you held in
your hand what may, ages befere Eve was
tempted by the serpent, have formed the
body of a living being in some ether world
lighted by some ether sun."
TJieMnrtjr Oarsmen.
New "i eik Times.
The 'Cernell crew is still wandering ever
the face et Europe seeking opportunities
te show hew nobly American oarsmen can
bear defeat. It had been generally be
lieved that when an American oarsman
found himself matched against a dangerous
antagonist he always had a timely accident
happen te himself or te his beat.- Thus
by falling ill en the eve of the race, or by
having his beat sawed in two, he could es
cape the iuisfortune of being publicly out
rowed. The Cernell men determined te
show that this was net the universal
American custom, and there are Americans
who can be beaten in scores of successive
beat-races and still preserve the integrity
of their stomachs aud their beats. Iu pur
suance of this patriotic and self-sacrificing
plan they went te England aud submitted
with the utmost cucerlulncss te a scucs et
defeats which would have induced any
ether crew te buru their beat and te study
for the ministry. Then they went te
Vienna, and proved that they could be
beaten even by a German crew and still
retain the courage te leek at themselves
in a hotel mirror. Aud new, with a perse
verance iu seeking aquatic martyrdom,
which ought te entitle them te rank as
saints in some future racing calendar, they
have hunted up an ebscure Germau crew in
au improbable German village, with whom
they have arranged te undergo a new do de
feat at an early day.
When the motive which induced the
Cernell men te go abroad is understood, it
is at once seen that they have been won
derfully successful. Their true friends
were at ene time seiieusly alarmed lest
they should accidentally win a race. WLen
they announced that they were going te
Vienna it was feared that there would be
no crew there te beat them. Eminent as
the Germans are in beer drinking and
philosophic matches, it Was net thought
possible that they could row. Neverthe
less, the coufidence of the Cernell oarsmen
iu their own ability te keep astern of any
crew that ever pulled an ear was justified
by the event of the Vicuna races, and they
were beaten iu a way that must have been
perfectly satisfactory te thcin. Whether,
after having been beaten by the ebscure
crew of the imprebable village whom they
are next te re w, the Cernell men will return
home remains te be seen. It certainly
seems as if they had sufficiently proved
that American earsmau cau be fairly
beaten, and unless they intend te spend
the test of their lives in rowing matches
with the eleven thousand European crews
that are their superiors as oarsmen they
had better ceme home without further do de
lay. Their proud fellow-countrymen long
te yive them au enthusiastic reception,
aud it is understood that at least two
Custom-house officers will be detailed te
meet them en the arrival of their steamer.
If this expression of popular enthusiasm
should seem somewhat ever-zealous, it
should be remembered that never befere
have four Americana devoted a whole
summer te shewiug Europeans hew easily
au American ' university" crew cau be
oulrewcd.
Of ceuisy, like all ether men engaged iu
a great .'.elf-wicrilicing and philanthropic
task, the Cernell oarsmen have been mis
understood and maligned. There are peo
ple who have believed, or pretended te be
lieve, that the Cernell crew went te Europe
with the intention of winning races, and
have denounced their failure te wiu as a
disgrace te the American name. These are
the men who are actively endeavoring te
create a popular sentiment which will
feice the Senate at its next session te iu iu
sert in the treaties with England and Ger
many a clause providing for the extradition
of American " University " oarsmen. They
asscit that when several young men who
cannot row visit Europe, and, after
loudly proclaiming that they are
representative American college oarsmen,
are beaten by every crew that can be in
duced te take the trouble te row away
from them, they should be held te be guilty
of au offense against the dignity of the
United States, and should be brought
home, with their wrists tied behind them
with thread, and afterwards soundly pun
ished by an able-bodied schoolmistress with
a large aud effective slipper. It is te be
hoped that the Cernell men will bear this
misapprehension of their neble mission
with the same cheerfulness with which
they bear defeats. Ne such misapprehen
sion can long cudure, for the momeut the
Cernell crew is seen in the act of rowing
the absurdity of supposing that they ever
intended te wiu a race is mauifest.
Equally unfounded is another popular
delusion, te the cllcct that the Cernell
men have bound themselves by .a vow te
row until they finally win a race. These
who held this view anticipate that the
Cernell four will devote about ten years te
rowing " scratch" crews of Germans,
Spaniards, and Russians, and will then
move en through Syria and Egypt te In
dia, rowing casual Turks and Arabs by
the way. It is thought possible that in
India they may find a crew of feeble Hin
dus who have never previously seen a beat
or heard of au ear whom they may con
trive te beat. If net, they will pursue
their journey te China and Japan, return
ing te the United States by way of San
Francisce, and then visiting the Seuth
Americau republics, where. there is really
reason te hope that they may at last find
four degenerate cx-presidents whom they
cau mauage te outrew.
This is all wrong. The Cernell men
went abroad te be beaten. They have
been splendidly successful aud will return
in the course of a few months flushed with
defeat. Let us give them a hearty wel
come and spare their lives. When next
four American university oarsmen an
nounce their intention of going abroad te
row English and German crews, it will be
time enough te kill them when they de
finitely engage their passages in au out
ward bound steamer.
Hew Peanuts are Prepared for Market.
Southern Farmer's Monthly.
Peanuts, te be prepared for the market,
are placed iu a large cylinder, from which
they enter the brushes, where every nut re
ceives fifteen feet of a brushing before it be
comes free. Then they are dropped en an
endless belt, passing along at the rate of
four miles au hour. On each side of the
belt stands girls, and as the nuts fall en
the belt, the girls, with a quick motion of
the hand, pick out all the 'peer-looking
nuts, allowing only the best te pass the
crucible. These that de pass drop into
bags en the fleer below. When the bag is
filled it is sewed up and branded as "cocks,"
with the figure of the rooster prom
inent en its sides, The peas caught up by
the girls are thrown te ene side, again
picked ever and the best singled out, bag
ged and branded as "ships." These are
as fins a nut as the first for eating, but iu
shape and color de net compare with the
" cocks." The third grade is branded as
" eagles." These are picked out of the
callings of the " cocks" and " ships."
The cullings that are lelt from the
" eagles" are bagged, sent te the top story
and what little meat is in them it shaken

this new process,
in bags blew, free
from dust or dirt,
of any kind, aud is
then shipped in 200-pound sacks te the
North, where it is bought by the coniec ceniec coniec
tieners for the purpose of making taffy or
peanut candy. It may be here stated that
a peculiar kind of oil is extracted from the
meat of the nut, and in this specialty a
large trade is done among the wholesale
druscists. There is nothing wasted, for
even the shells are made useful. They are
packed in sacks and sold te stable keepers
for horse bedding, and a very healthy bed
they make.
