GASES FROM A METEORrrE--Professo
\. w. Wright has been investigating still
farther the curious subject of the occult
gases i'm meteoritcs. He finds the gases of
a stony meteorite which fell in Iowa, Feb
ruary l2th, of the present year. to be car
bonic di-oxide or carbonic acid. carbonlc
oxide. and hydrogen. As the carbon dl-
oxide is largely in excess, it shows
marked difference i'll composition between
the iron and the stony materials. for IN the
former hydrogen is the principal gas. The
spectrum of these gases is precisely the
same rs that observed in some of the COM

the same but their relative intensity From
these results Professor Wright gives the
following conclusion: The amount of the
gases contained in large meteorite, or

honey began to oozc out. and soon tubs
