Meteor's Trail Photographed.

The most remarkable photograph OF
a meteor trail that has yet been taken.
so far as we know, was recently repro
duced In L'Astronomie The meteor
was seen from many points in South
Africa about s p. IN. on June 2, 1912.
In broad daylight, and the trail that
1t left behind remained visible until
some time after sunset, becoming
more and more conspicuous as the
daylight faded.
The photograph, which shows the
trail as an immense, serpentine ribbon
In the western sky, was taken at
Temple. Orange Free State, about an
hour after the passage of the meteor

 The child's mother died years ago. She has been living, up to the time she ceased to be an emplove of the corset factory, alone with her father There were many things which he never explained to her. According 10 the story she told the police, the Howard woman made up for this de- ticiency

 She says that Ruth Howard taught her, among other things. to steal. She told the entire story of her prog ress from the elevated station to the door of the Children's Society.
 For time, she said she lived, with the Howard woman. The woman each night rented her a dress. she declared, in which she could go forth

 When the girl was taken by the Childrens Society she told her story to Butts, who began an investigation of her case. It was during his work that he met the McGarry woman, who corroborated the child's story She had lived, it is said, in the apart ment kept by the Howard woman at the same time that Gertrude was there
 Butts then took his two witnesses to police headquarters. After hear- ing their story, Deputy Commt ssioner Dunham swore out warrants before Magistrate Murphy and had the two detectives arrested. Ruth Howard will be examined today. According to Butts. she is very wealthy. He says that he knows her to have $o0,- 900 in one bank in this city.

Girl Tells Of Short Life of Crime
 Under Apt Tutor

New York, Dec. 15.-Gertrude Hil- ten, fourteen and pretty to look at al- though she is a self-confessed pick pocket and other more dreary things sat in a room in police headquarters all last evening and told to Chief Inspector SchmittbAger and Deputy Commissioner Lawrence Durham the story of the life' to which another woman held her until her arrest.
 When the child had concluded her tale, which began with her deserting her job in a corset factory at the sug- gestion of a man she had met and ended when she was taken to the Children's Society, charged with steal ing wallet belonging to Captain Richard Verbugge, of the Dutch army detectives went out and arrested two men on the staff of Inspector Honest John" Daly, of the Tenderloin.
 The girl charged Detectives Will liam F. Loeb and Andrew Bornkessel With visiting her at an apartment on West 1O9th street during the month of October, and thereby violating Sec talon PHO of the penal law.
 Detectives Identified.
 When the two detectives were brought bfore her last night Gertrude identified them without hesitation. So did Mrs. Rowena McGarry, with whom the child had lived. The de- tectives are locked up in police head quarters for arraignment today. Loeb is married and has been on the force twelve years. Bornkessel is also married and has worn the blue for four years.
 But Gertrude's accusations are not directed primarily against the two policemen. One Ruth Howard, alias Lillian Lichtenstein, was with her that night a few weeks ago, when the little girl, it is said, stole the Dutch army officers bank roll. Ruth was arrest ed and held on a charge of abduc- tion. Yesterday she was released, at the request of Assistant District At torney Burke, and, as she was leaving the Washington Heights Court she was rearrested. The charge was not made public.

 Cherest made very evident his en- Joyment of the automobile ride and the bright, winter day on which he started his new life. He was accom- panied to the railroad station by one of the prison officers, who bought his ticket to Boston for him and saw him safely on the train--a train very diff ferent from those the former convict had known in his youth.
 Cherest is to work in a shoe factory in Boston, and live with friends in that city. He has had this position in view for some time. having learned the shoe making trade in the prison several years ago.
