...Harvard University Golf Association, organized last spring, has now a membership of 130, and the tournaments held this fall show the great interest that members of the University are taking in golf.

This instrument can evolve a spark fifty inches in length and in doing so gives...

Most of the plates, which were taken, have been developed, but they show only one prominent meteor of the first magnitude. In all, forty or fifty meteors were counted, which were small, with few exceptions. Bright meteors were scarce, and their trails short for the most part.
