A NEW MEMcAN METEOR.


Found ON Analysis TO BE Composed Chiefly
OF Iron.
The American journal Of Science gives
Rn account by Warren NJ. Foote of Fhila-
delphia of the recent finding OF a mcteorite
which fell in 1876 in the Sacramento
mountains of New Mexico and was seen at
its fall by Mr.. NJ. Bartlett of Florence,
A L. The metcorite passed through the
heavens i'm "a southerly direction and fell
with n report like a cannon. The facts
were reported by Mr.. Bartlett TO Mr.. @.
r. Biederman, who began an invostiga-
ton, which was fruitlcss until, by chance,
a small sample of iron found by shepherd
of the region proved to be meteoric and led
TO the locating of the mass, which had fall
en- on the top of II limestone hill, where it
was partly buried Mr.. Bicderman and
his party with much labor dragged it six
miles over the desert to wagon road. No
pieces were found near it, and it is COM
plete except for two pieces, weighing to-
gether about five pounds, which have been
broken or sawed from the mass.
The new found meteorite is a typical eX-
ample of the class of siderites, weighing
about 521 pounds, and about 80 inches
long, "a inches broad and inches thick
1t has the characteristic thumb marks,
and on flat side it has two cup shaped
pits from TO inches in diameter, which
are q remarkable feature AT the point
where the fragments were removed the oc-
tahedral cleavage and lines of crystalliza-
ton are noticeable to degree rarely seen
in iron. 1t is however, on the etched sur
face, prepared through treating q polished
slab with diluted nitric acid in the usual
manner, that the beauty of the crystalline
structure is best seen. In this respect it
ranks among the finest of recorded irons,
the Widmannstatten figures being excep-
tionally regular and distinct The broad
bands of kamacite are symmetrical, the
prominence of the interlacing of shining
white threads of the niccoliferous iron be-
ing especially remarkable, and distinguish
ing it from the El Captain meteoric iron,
found in 1898 about 80 miles north of Sac
ramento range In the latter iron the per
centage of iron is less and nickel greater,
phosphorus also being present. A quaint
tative analysis shows the following results
with very small remainder undeter
mined: Iron, 80 per cent; nickel, 7.ot
per cent; cobalt, .52 per cent; total, 99. q
per cent
The mass is perfectly preserved, there be
ing no sign of disintegration or exudatior
of lawrencite. The saving shows it to b'
quite soft and generally homogeneous. Th'
entire lack of surface alteration proves tina
it fell at q comparatively recent date ant
leads to the conclusion that it is the meteor
seen to fall by Mr.. Bartlett, whose accoun
led to the discovery. New York Press.

SCRIPTURE READING. PROV. iv. IS.

SCRIPTURE READING. Prov. Nv. 49,
Life is often compared to q journey.
The Bible speaks in many places of right
eous living as of the nature of travelling
on well kept highway from which
stones have been carefully picked and
en- which no beasts are allowed to come.
In this passage the path of the just or
godly is described as thoroughly lighted.
This to an oriental is a most striking
popularity. No eastern city in ancient
time and few in modern days have any
system of street illumination by night.
Few people venture upon the streets
after dark, and all who do so must 90
provided with lanterns in the hand or
attendants with torches. The streets are
full Of holes and stones. Mud, filth,
dogs and robbers are all sources Of an
noyance and often Of danger. Such Is
the life path of the ungodly. 1.-THE way
of the wicked is as darkness; they know
not at what they stumble
He who does right and means to be
right has no cause to fear failure. He
may not be able to see beyond all the
turns in the path, but he can be assured
that no chasm yawns across the road
into which he may step before he knows
Of its existence. No overhanging rock
shall fall unseen upon him and crush
the life out. The honest and true life
has dangers and trials of patience and
endurance and calls into exercise every
manly quality of soul. But these are
all open and can be calculated. Half
the difficulty is removed if we can see
clearly the opposition to be overcome.
Ignorance of the extent Of danger
magnifles it, awakens fear and humans

In the world We shall have tribula-
tion," is the promise Of the Master, but
we are of good cheer since He has over
come the world. No follower of Christ
need fear TO walk the path He trod, foi
since His feet passed over it all il
bright. It is not the light of day dawr
when the cast Pushes with the first rec
tints of morning; it is rather the full
day when the sun rides toward higl
noon.
1t is safe to be true and good. "Tht
path Of the just is as the shining ligh
that shineth more and more unto the
