ASTRONOMERS TALK OF AN OVERDOSE OF METEORS Thty are Supposed to be Getting Between the Earth and the (on aad Elding Ms of the Sun's Kays-Frost in the Northwest Toronto, June 1. The local astronomers are at present busily engaged in finding out the cause of the continued chilliness out of the --atmosphere. Amateur astronomers and weather prophets of the old school attribute tbe cold snap to the fact that the May 'moon Inaugurated a spell of dams and chilly weather, which will last until the June moon arrives. Astronomers of advanced characteristics, however, do not pay much attention to the is too near at hand and familiarity bas bred contempt. They look abroad for their causes and have found one.

The heavens are suffering from an overdose of meteors; these meteors have attracted considerable attention of late and are Increasing in number. Some are visible to the naked eye, but others are not. The theory Is that they get between the earth and the sun and phut out a portion of his rays, thus materially lowering our temperature. It is expected that there will be more meteors this year and that toward the end of 1833 the sky will nightly resemble a pyrotechnic display. Frost in the Northwest.
