corporation; wilson I. King. OF the Jones

kinds OF steel products; Charles Bailey.
Of the Reliance Tube Works Of Tarentum.
Pa; s. NJ. FELTON,. president OF the Penn
sylvsnis Steel company, and President
Stackhouse OF the Cambria Iron and Steel
company. These men were examined chief
ly concerning the cost Of production and
the relative rates Of duty that should be
assessed against the different products in
comparison with the various metals used
in their manufacture.
Judge Gary went over the PAYNE bill
and recommended cuts in the duties on
some articles and increases in others. This
was done to illustrate a complaint made
by the steel men tina the various duties
on related articles are not properly pro-
p%ortloned m the Payne bill. Before enter
ing the committee room. Mr.. Bailey de-
clared that II the Payne bill is passed,
cutting the duty on certain kinds OF tub
ing in half, his concern would be compelled
to go out OF business. He expressed sat
isfaction with the rates on tubing unuder
the Dingley act. No opportunity was given
him, however. to present these views to
the committee. All the persons here were
present by invitation.
The metal schedules will be considered
more fully at some time when the com
mittee is ready to incorporate its recon-
mendations as to rates. These schedules
were laid aside today in order that the
committee may examine tomorrow certain
experts in relation to silk schedules.

More About the Meteor.


 Regarding the splendid meteor obs served throughout this section on Sat- urday night, your paper of today quotes MT. Smyth, Director of the Weather Bureau as saying The velocity of the meteor was So great that it was proba- earth's atmosphere" The reporter doubtless misunderstood MT. Smytn, as 1t was necessary for the aerolite to penetrate deeply into the atmosphere before 1t became incandescent, it's neat ton. Previous to striking the atmos- phere of the earth. the body probably had been circling as planetoid or sat- elite m space through countless ages, perhaps as long or longer than the astronomer royal of England, has a very plausible theory that the earth had its origin in meteoric accrettons. Certain 1t is that the earth is still growing as 1t receives from space hun dreds or thousands of meteors every day.
 The writer's attention was called to the meteor as 1t crossed the heavens, and he calculated from the luminous trail which remained plainly visible for several minutes. that 1t passed l5 or Is degrees west of the zenith of Troy. The Advertisers statement that 1t passed immediately over Montgomery, added to this and the fact that its di- rection was due south, makes the alti- tude of the meteor approximately sev- enty miles when west of Troy.
 The statement of the gentleman that the meteor appeared to be eight or ten inches in diameter" Is meaningless un- less he had said how far 1t seemed to be from him, as ten inches at 100 yards distance Is as great as ten feet 1,20o yards away.
