PROF. RICHARD A. PROCTOR main
tains that most of the meteor streams
with which the earth comes in contact
are derived from the earth itself-that
is, thrown off by vol anic action at a
time when the internal forces of our
| planet were sufficiently active to give
them the initial velocity re Iuisite to
carry them beyond the earth's attrac-
tion-some twelve miles second.
Comets, which he regards as the par
ents of meteor streams, he thinks may
have originated outside our solar sys-
tom. Most of the comets whose orbits
belong to our system he thinks origi-
mated in the larger planets. The sun
is now perhaps giving birth frequently
to comets, which probably pass beyond
the limits of its attraction.
