The most extensive meteorc shower seen In IN liz

10 any part OF the heavens without discerning on
more brilliant trains. The general point of radiation
seemed to be In the northeast, but the meteors
moved In almost every direction, but generally due
south or due west from the point OF radiation. Most
OF them were or fiery red color, and In moving
across the sky left long trains Of pale green light,
some OF which were visible for one or two minutes.
The mcteors were universally bright, many appear
