The meteors that flash across

usually burn out in the upper air,
but occasionally a meteoric mass
lasts long enough to reach the
earth. One fell on May IS, 1900,
at Felix, Ala. Meteors were seen
on the occasion referred to and
sundry explosions We're heard,
while later on mass of meteoric
substance weighing seven pounds
was discovered imbedded in soft
