Meteorite Observations.

Preparations have been made to photograph from the University Observatory the shower of meteorites which is expected to occur this week. In 1833 and 1867 the meteoric displays were of extraordinary brilliance; in the fall of 1899 it was expected that a shower as extraordinary as in those two years would be visible, and although to unusual display appeared, astronomers look again this year for an exceptionally brilliant shower. Those marked display seem to occur after periods roughly averaging about thirty-three years. November 13 is the day believed the most likely date for the display this fall.
