NOT long ago Ignatius DOnnelly
gave the world Il book in which he
aimed to show that the greater part
of the world was once destroyed by a
visitor from the heavens above us
This comet, or whatever it was, caused
the drift period and all its train OF at.
tendants. His book furnished food
for laughter rather than for solid
thought. But now, according to Il
dispatch from Williams Ranch.
Texas, wherever that may be. a
meteor fell last Sunday in that place
which covers an acre of ground.
killed family Of seven, and shattered
all the windows in town. THIS is Il
big story. or would seem so If it Were
not for "rhc Ragnarok'' of Donnelly,
and will hardly be credited on the
mere report of an unknown jenkins.
II is safe to say that if it is true we
shall hear all about il in due course
of time.
