They have found piece of fallen
meteor in Iowa. The meteor struck
upon the snow and ice, making a very
slight indention in the ground, and
bounded northwest a distance of thirty
feet or more, up slight declivity. and
came TO rest upon the snow. 1t was ap-
parently warm when it fell, for when
found it was adherent to the ice and
snow underneath, so that it required q
smart rap to loosen it. The specific
gravity of the specimen appears to be
near $50, it's structure strong, with some
| admiXture of iron. The face of the frag-
ment which formed part OF the origi-
nal body, is covered with a compara-
lively thick black coating, not perfectly
SMOOTH while that face by which the
fragment was Joined to the main body is
coated in like manner, but in less de-
gree. The outer surface has the pitted
appearance characteristic of such bod
les.

Why need working women care to make
fools of themselves by pursuing such a
worthless and frui(less chase?
