DUST FELL SEVERAL TIMES
 FROM METEORIC BODIES

Inquiring into matters connected with meteors and shooting stars show that dust similar to that which fell on Nome last week has fallen in sev- eral other places and has been proven to be a residium of meteors or shoot ing stars in combustion.
 In Burritt's Geography of the Heav- ems the following paragraph appears
 "A shower of stars took place in Canada between the 3rd and 4th of Ju- ly. 1874. and another at Montreal in 1919. In all these cases residuum or black dust, was deposited on the surface of the waters, upon the roofs of buildings and other objects.
 "In the year 1S1O infiamed sub stances, it is said, fell into and around Lake Van, in Armenia which stained the water of a blood color. and cleft the earth in various places, On the t5h of September, 1879, q like phenomenon was seen in Moravia. History fur nishes many more instances of mete-  oric showers, depositing a red dust in some places, so plentiful as to admit of chemical analysis"
 The showers of stars alluded to in the above are described as brilliant lights which rushed through the heav- ems and performed such gyrations and were so awful in appearance that the more simple of the population were stricken with terror.
 In one case the lights made noun tain to appear on fire, and this fact, taken in conjunction with the story of the natives in Candle, in connection with our own phenomenon. is. perhaps. significant.
