known sky pilot was trying out. and
there were other conjectures as to
its identity, some perhaps asserting
it was a spark from a meteor. which
never fell, in Sussex county. Learned
astronomers now decide that it is
the planet Jupiter but the laity d.
not adopt the belief. and yet watch
1t with bated, or some other kind OF
breath.
