On Thursday evening, Of last week,
about half past 8 o'clock. a remarkable
meteor made its appearance in the sky,
first, in Kansas, having been observed at
Fort Scott and at Lawrence in that state.
Nearly all the statements concur in de-
scribing its direction as from the south
west to the northeast Central Missouri
seems to have been directly beneath its
line of movement, and it passed over
Kansas. Missouri, Illinois. Indiana and
part of Ohio, preserving its compactness
along this journey of one thousand miles
to the neighborhood of Bucyrus, Ohio,
where it exhibited itself only in the shaps
of several meteors' '-fragments, no
doubt of the original body. 1t must have
moved at considerable height above the
earth. notwithstanding its apparent near
ness, as it was seen distinctly as far north
Of the line of movement as Iowa, and as
far south as Misunderstanding to the base
of the angle Of observation length which,
| it is estimated, would make its height
above the earth fifty or seventy-fve miles.
At some points it was seen as a single
luminous body, with brilliant train; at
others as two bodies, one Immediately
following the other, At Mendoza. Iii.
nois, the meteor was not seen at all; but
there was startling illumination OF the
sky, about the time of its passage, At
Garrett, Indiana, it was not seen. but a
loud explosion in the heavens was heard,
| followed by an illumination and rumbling
noise. Those who saw it are unanimous
in the statement that it was the most won.
