If more leonids show up than on November IS last year, when about 10 per hoar were counted for three hours at the Blue Hill observatory sear Boston, It will be taken as a sign that the "big show" Is possibly beaded this way. If there is no in crease in numbers it may mean they are off the track the earth intersects. A request for amateurs to tarn oat between midnight and daylight Saturday and Sunday mornings to assist in counting was issued today by Dr. Charles P. Oliver, director of lower astronomical dbserratory of the University of Pennsylvania. The meteors should be looked for In the eastern part of the sky. A quarter moon will interfere with seeing the fainter ones. One of the most brilliant visits of these meteors was a century ago in 1833, when an observer at Augusta, Oa., wrote: "Stars descended like snowfall to the earth." In all their history there Is no record of a leonld reaching earth. This is attributed to their high ve locity, calculated at 44 miles a second, which causes them to burn up in the air. MRS. McM.
