rleteor Seen In DAYLIGHT

A remarkable phenomenon, that
OF n meteor seen In daylight, was
observed In different localities In
the northwest Of Germany on the
10th of December last. According
to the indications furnished by
Das Wcttcr, the meteor was OBJ
served about 4 40 p. IN. near ~ de-
grccs above the horizon, In the
direction southeast. II appeared
under the form of n large mass of
n brilliant and rather violet hue.
II moved In an arc which was
somewhat injected toward the ho-
rizon, In the direction southwest.
The meteor disappeared at or near
the horizon. according to the diff
fcrcnt reports. The light was
intense. as may be remarked from
the fact that even in daylight tho
phenomenon was mistaken for
that of lightning. The meteor in
its passage through the atmos-
phcrc left behind 1t a great quani-
ty of smoke or vapor, which was
visible in the form Of clouds cx-
tending nearly i've minutes OF an
arc in length behind it. These
clouds, which were visible in spite
of the rays OF the sun, which had
not set, followed the path of tn,
meteor at first, but then moved to-
ward the east in the direction OF
the wind, and gradually settled
down, this no doubt being due &c
the weight of the particles COM
posing them.

GRATEFUL FOR AMERICAN SYMPATHY.
LONDON NEWSPAPERS ON THE REGARD
SHOWN FOR THE QUEEN

London Jan. 24.-England continues to evil
6cnce that she is profoundly touched by the uni
versal sympathy. especially that of America ex-
pressed on the death Of Queen Victoria, and
newspapers like The st. Jamess Gazette and
THE Globe by no means noted for their friend
illness to the United States, have been among the
first TO evince gratitude. The ST. James's Ca
zette' returns to the subject again to-day and
says:
In particular grateful to our kindred in
America. The American press is in every way
popular press. It knows and responds to popu-
lar feeling and popular Will, and it is unanimous
in its tributes OF sorrow and recognition of the
greatness and goodness or Queen Victoria Nor
have her public men been backward Mr. White
law Reid, whom we rememb ber in London as the
Special Envoy of the United States at the Dia-
mond Jubilee. has pointed out that the Queen
has been referred to for more than a generation
in America as simply the Queen" That alone
is enough TO show how Americans regarded her
All this is WELL and should touch us profoundly;
but IL need not surprise us. The nearness of
blood and community OF language are not wisely
counted on in political way; but when simple
over which no controversy can exist then near
ness of blood and community of language will
surely tell. Beneath the differences of Govern
plent, the differences OF place and many other
differences OF association. there Is between the
Americans and ourselves great common herit-

Washington is part OF it, What Englishman

American people have placed Qusen Victoria on

When Colonel Towse recently went to Windsor

wife, toward the Queen, tears poured down her

victims of the war. Every defeat, every unsuc-

scarlet liveries OF the outriders flashed out Of
sight from Pan Mall but from the Mall, where
great crowds had been waiting in silence for
hours there rose distant roar OF cheering as
the King went on toward Buckingham Palace
and the Victoria Station on his way TO Osborne.
When he was out OF sight royal salute was

Guards Parade. The Victorian Era and the
Guelph or Hanoyerian Dynasty had ended. There
was new King OF the Saxe-Coburg line; for.
while the name Albert had been discarded for
Edward, the Sovereign, by virtue Of his fathers
blood and every tradition Of primoSeniture had
begun what was virtually new dynasty.
The proceedings Of Parliament have remained
