An Advantage
Joe was visiting at grandmother's
house and was being pur to bed when
he recalled that he had almost for
gotten to say his prayers. He then
said them at grandmother's knee —
his usual "Now I lay me," ending by
asking a special blessing for father,
mother and his two little sisters.
At its close he realized he had not
remembered his grandmother. "Why.
I forgot you, grandma," he said and
then smiled encouragingly "but don't
you mind that. Pretty soon I'll be hig
enough to make my own prayers and
then I can pray for everybody."
Long Meteor Flight.
Numerous observations of the bril

of October 21, 1919, show that it had
the long horizontal flight of 335 miles
from over a point 20 miles northeast
of York. England, to 30 miles sauth
west of St. Valery, France. It trav
eled at a speed of about 33 miles a
second and its average altitude was
74 miles. Its radiant point and speed

Prof. A. S. Herschel for the meteors
from the comet of 1739. —Scientific
