The Paris Exposition just closed drew over fifty million attendees by some counts, though ticket-based tallies likely inflated figures.

Observers disappointed as the anticipated meteoric shower did not occur on schedule. Drs Downing and Stoney explain the Leonid dense core was deflected by Jupiter on its return, preventing expected spectacle for skywatchers.
A late 19th century report notes Leonid meteor displays, recalling past showers in years like 1833 and 1860, predicting such brilliant spectacles may not recur due to the swarm’s elongated path. Experts warn future encounters could differ greatly and sometimes miss Earth.
The piece argues that Kruger’s retreat from his troops and harsh self storytelling undermine his credibility. It contends he betrayed his cause by fleeing to France, undermining any charge he makes about enemy wartime conduct. Roberts is praised for discipline while Kruger is labeled a deserter and weakling.

A reader in Butte appeals to the Inter Mountain to protest the quality of illumination from the local electric light company. He cites underlit rooms, dim street lights, and a perception of overtaxed machinery, urging better service and earlier curfews to avoid darkness after sunset. He contrasts kerosene against the company’s output and quotes a biblical expectation of light.
The writer recalls Lord Russell’s deep love for racing and his prodigious memory for winners, weights, margins, and defeated horses. They shared early morning strolls on the heath, and the topic often returned to racing lore and details familiar to seasoned trainers.
