Extraordinary Meteoric Display

From the Philadelphia Bulletin, Aug %. I
AT about 1880 0 clock last evening very
unusual celestial display was observed hy
people who happened at the time to be gag
Ing skyward. A large meteor shot from
the northwest toward the north, taking a
course slightly dc INWARD and then inward
IN sort OF serpent form. Starting like
ball OF brilliant hight, it gradually increased
as 1t sped along, leaving bright, lustrous
tan after 1t, very much like that of comet,
and finally bursting like a rocke sea. crlng
jets OF light from every portion of its cir
cuniferencc like what the pyrotechnists call
a pin>wheel What was somew hat remark
able about this phenomenon was the fact
that long after what appeared to be the
body OF the meteor itself had disappeared
the monstrous tail remained now lpcreas>
ing aud now Diminishing In brilliance, for at
least ten minutes, when it commenced to
gradually fade away The time occupied
between the commencement of the DISPLAY
aud the bursting As il seemed, of the meteor
must have been at least twelve or fifteen
seconds, and the whole time up to the dis
appearance of the tail covered some twenty
minutes. The phenomenon gave quite a
lively excitement. The people who wit.
messed it gave various opinions as to its
cause, some holding that 1T was really the
expected comet which astronomers had de-
clared would be invisible to the naked eve,
and others contending that it was merely
one OF those occasional luminous nebulous
displays which are known to occur at this
season of the year, and which have liule
Importance in the estimation of scientific
folks.
Three or four hours later, at about
o clock, another strange light was seen
shooting across the heavens 1t was in
The form of a bow Strengthened out, broad.
est IN the middle, and tapering toward each
end, being about two degrees in the widest
part. 1t stretched from near the north
western horizon considerably beyond the
zenith IN the southeast about fifty degrees.
1t seems to be composed of mass Of thin
vapor, appearing at one moment intensely
bright, and in the next fading away, only
to reappear more brilliantly than ever. 1t
appeared to proceed from the same spot as
the more brilliant meteor earlier in the
evening In about half an hour it had en-,
tirely disappeared.
