AN INDIANA METEOR.

Professor Daniel Kirkwood. of Bloomington,
Ind. gives SONS interesting particulars OF a
brilliant meteor which was observed i'll Indiana
and Northern Illinois on the evening of the 81
inst. The meteor before entering the atm0s-
phere, was moving in an hyperbola about the
sun, its motion being retrograde or III the op-
posite direction to that of the earth in it's orbit
The point of its first appearance was vertical
over Grant County, Ind, not far from Marion,
at an elevation of eighty-fOur miles above the
earth's surface. The direction OF its motion
was nearly west. or, more accurately, ). II w:
When directly north of Bloomington Its height
was fifty two miles. It's path, which passed
almost exactly over Kobomo, Ind, and Dan
Vile III terminated over the iot, southern st.td
at an altitude of thirty-two miles. No sound
followed the explosion and if any meteor &c
stones reached the earth's surface they have
not vet been found. +. E. Hunter, of Bloom-
ington, describes the meteor when first seen as
not larger than a star of the second magnitude
1t rapidly increased in briliancy, and When
Immediately below the pole star its size was
about one third that of the full moon. It's light
was such that persons could be readily recOS-
nized across the street.
