METEOR SEEN BY DAYLIGHT.
Shot Across Sky From West to East
Near Sundown.

Near Sundown.
The first meteor New York ever saw
by daylight visited the city at exactly
$50 o'clock on March 80. Though not
as brilliant as nocturnal fliers, 1t was
beautiful and startling because of its
size, and as the twilight was descend
ing the train of the meteor shone, spar
kled, scintillated and glowed I'm the
full pride of its mightiness. It's head
was easily remindful of what AZ cen
timeter shell should look like as it goes
flying through the air.
The meteor shot across the sky from
west to east as one saw it from the
financial district. II was visible for
about twenty degrees, and its train re-
mained in sight for a couple of seconds.
The head seemed about twenty times
the size of Venus. 1t was chiefly
glowing white with a blush gray bor-
der. The train did not spread out like
that Of a comet, but graduated to mar
rover proportions and evanesced into
atmospheric nothingness.
II looked to observers as If it were
too big to burn out before reaching the
earth. 1t shot through the sky at an
angle of about twelve degrees and was
about fifteen degrees above the earth
when its fascinating brilliancy disap-
peared

Animal Etiquette.

No one who is at all Observant Of
the ways Of animals can have failed
to notice how gentle large dogs, like
the ST Bernard and the Great Dane,
are to their smaller canine fellows. 1t
is rare that a big dog turns upon one
Of the little fellows, no matter how
,aggravating and snappy the latter may
be. Instead, he invariably treats the
small dogs antics with unruffied and
dignifed tolerance For there is a
recognized code Of etiquette among
animals, if you please. quite as much
as there is among human beings. IN
truth, there are not d few respects in
which the animals can give points on
politeness and good behavior to man
himself.
