HOW METEORS FALL.
Move So Swiftly That Many Are
Destroyed in Passage.

teEfatiOn-SOme Notable Mes
senEsrs from the Skies.

The "Allegan meteorite," as they call
it at the National museum, is the latest
thing of its kind in the scientific world.
1t came to earth about eight o'clock one
fine morning last July, with Thomas
Hill, on the Saugatuck road, Allegan,
Mich, as its lighting place. 1t was
mixture of stone and iron, and is sup
posed to have weighed 20 pounds when
it fen. AS it is seen at the National
museum, Washington. d. c., now it is
labeled 62H pounds. Several pounds OF
it were broken or hacked off by relic
lovers before it got safely into the
scientific clutches of the museum.
Great crowds of people over in AL
legan claimed to have seen it fall, and
assert that it came with a rushing, roar
ing noise like unto distant thun-
der. They say that it came down almost
perpendicularly 1t gave blush tinge
to the atmosphere through which it
passed, but possessed no luminosity. 1t
was not so awfully hot when it fell. as is
attested by the fact that the leaves and
grass into which it fell were but very
slightly charred.
The stone as now seen at the museum
is about II inches long by II inches
thick and is rather irregular in shape.
One end of it is badly shattered. Ii is
polyhedral in outline. the larger sur
faces are convex and are covered with
a thin black crust. Prof. Writ Tassin

that the earth is frequently bombarded
by meteorites. but it is protected by the
atmosphere. which for distance of

the meteorites off. Scientists tell US

of the surface of the mass during its
passage through the air. Prof. Tas-
sin tells that in the fall of meteorites
there is no such thing as 'periodicity."

The meteorite may be of any shape or

their origin, but the only safe theory is

as if it were meant to be carried around
on the neck of an OK. There are be-
tween 300 and 400 meteorites in the Ma
tional museum of various shapes and
sizes and brought from all parts of the
world. The Hessle meteorite fell on thin
ice, but so thoroughly was it held up
by the atmospheric cushion that it did
not break the ice, and rebounded, un-
broken, itself. The Warrenton (Mo.)
meteorite, weighing 100 pounds, barely
penetrated the ground. The time of

The terrible devastation caused by
lyddite shells fred by the English
among the Beers marks the introduc-
tion of new and formidable engine
of destruction. The lyddite is packed
in a shell and fired by percussion
fuse. 1t is obtained by the fusion of
nitric acid upon phenol. Its explo-
sion creates an area of havoc far
wider than that due to the ordinary

The resulting deaths are for the most

FORTUNE ALL GONE.
millionaire Priest Leaves an Estate
of Two Dollars.
Venerable Bishop Of Burlington, VT.
Gave All His Money to Charity
During His Life-COunted
with the Orphans.

Louis de Goesbriand, bishop Of Bur-
lington, VT, died not long ago in the
Providence orphan asylum of that city,
He was the senior bishop of the Roman
Catholic hierarchy in America and was
in his youth possessed of private for
tune estimated at Sl,000,000. After his
death all that could be found of this
great wealth was S2.l2 in cash, which
reposed in a drawer of the little desk
he had been wont to use while he was an
inmate of the orphan asylum.
Bishop Goesbriand was buried with
all the beautiful ceremonies of the
church in whose service he had spent
almost all of his S3 years Of life. After
his remains were laid away in the tomb
before the episcopal residence his sue
cessor in Office. Bishop Mchaud, insti-
tuted search for the pious old mans
will. Bishop Michaud and other
friends of the dead prelate were natur-
ally anxious to attend to his last wish
es and to dispose of his estate after the
manner of his desires. But no will could
be found. a few silver and copper coins
in the good bishops desk were the only
evidence that the late prelate of Bur
lington had ever possessed penny.
After some further inquiry and
thought the investigators discovered
the truth. Bishop Goesbriand had
given away all his fortune to the poor,
to churches and to charitable institu-
tions before his death and no one but
those in charge of the foundations he
had benefited knew of his gifts. His
We're concealed from all his friends.

Bishop Goesbriand's dearest wish was
TO die a poor man and among the poor.
This is no very easy wish to CRAFTY for
a rich man who is not spendthrift.
But the bishop went about his work
with judgmen, and activity and before
he was ready TO retire into his orphan
asylum he had given away everything
to worthy religious or charitable enter
prises. The orphan asylum, which was
created by him, was his pet charity. He
solicited many of the funds which
built it. but most of them were con-
tributed from his own private fortune.
When he began to feel the stress of age
he retired into his beloved institution.
an asylum for him in every sense of the
word.
Many pretty instances are related Of
his truly Christian feeling and his great
humility. Sister Joseph he said one
day, where do you place my name in
your regular report of the inmates of
the orphanage? Am classed with the
children 2" When the sister informed
him that he was numbered among the
"old people" he replied: Hereafter
count me as among the orphans. am
one of them
''He vas the most remarkably self
sacrificing man | ever knew" said the
mother superior Of the Providence or
phan asylum to reporter During
his stay here j could not fail to notice
many little things that would illustrate
his character. His greatest desire was
to make the children happy. He was
extremely humble, and aside from me
small change he left in his desk, his
earthly possessions consisted of his
clothing, and can assure you his ward
robe was scanty and poor at that.
when his body was taken from the
asylum to the cathedral the little ones
followed it. Now that he is gone some
of them will come to me with tears in
their eyes and ask when he will come
back to them. One day Father CAM
peau, of Essex, died and left $500 to the
orphanage. When the check was
brought to the bishop he said:
Father Campeau has been very
good and there are others who will fol-
low his example, but when die | will

To Find Jones' Grave.

Perhaps few people know that the
ashes of John Paul Jones, one Of the

American resolution, are buried
somewh here in Paris. Exactly where
nobody knows. After leaving the
American service because of some
ALE gpd grievance, Jones enlisted in
the, French service, and dying short
Iy afterwards, was buried in the
French capital. Efforts to locate the
tomb of the great naval officer have
failed up to date, but with increased
vigilance it is thought that the dis
covery can be made in the course of
time by carefully inspecting the
graveyards of Paris. Recently a
Philadelphia paper has commenced
to agitate the matter by suggesting
that close search be instituted for
the grave of John Paul Jones, and
in the event the quest is successful
that the body be brought back to
this country and buried in Washing
ton, d. G. Twelve governors and
many other distinguished public
men have Endorsed the enterprise.
