saws that the mass of ordinary shooting
stars does not exceed one grain; that
is. $50 of them would weigh only one

come from and why it presents such d
brilliant appearance? Answer: The
earth travels at the rate of eighteen
miles per second, plunging into a mass
of bodies whose velocity when enter
ing our atmosphere is of thirty miles
per second. Its motion is arrested by
the friction of that atmosphere, which
puts a brake on it, as it were, and it
becomes hot. just as the wheel of
tender gets hot under similar Circum-
stances or a cannon ball when the tar
gel impedes its further flight. So hot
does it get that il becomes visible. it
