INTERESTING CATALOGUE OF
METEORS.
Lives That Have Been Lost by
the Aerial Missiles.

Mr.. Charles U. Shepard, of New
| Haven, Conn, writes to the Journal
| for fuller information concerning the
alleged meteoric stone of recent no
toriety, and expresses an earnest de-
sire to procure piece OF 1t to add
to his collection. Mr.. Shepard says
he has accumulated the largest col
lection of meteoric stone in the
United States, if not in the world.
He forwards catalogue of his col
lection, showing the number OF
stones, aud the date and locality of
their fall. The collection embraces
more than five hundred meteoric
stones and meteoric irons. The total
weight of the collection is about
1000 pounds. The largest iron, pro-
cured from Colorado, weighs 43S
pounds, and the smallest, frolh OF
sego county, New York, weighs half
an ounce. The largest entire stone,
procured from Muskingum county.
Ohio, weighs fifty-six pounds, and
the smallest one. from Sweden,
weighs less than fifty grains. The
specimens have been gathered from
all parts of the known world. The
catalogue begins with one which fell
November I, 1902, in Alsace, and
ends with one which fell February
12, 1875. in Iowa county. Iowa.
There are none between 1899 and
1853, but most of the years since the
latter date are represented and some
years by several specimens. Nearly
every county in the known world is
in the list. The entire
collection is in one of the buildings
of Amherst College. Mr.. Shepard
makes one statement !" hich will sur
prise most persons. He says: "There
have been several instances of deaths
by meteoric stones. Two
monks in different places were thus
killed in Italy and two sailors on
in Sweden" -Indianapo-
