FACTS ABOUT THE EARTH
Atmosphere Now Believed by sclen-
lists TO Have Three Fairly
Distinct Strata.

The eartb's atmosphere Is now be-
iieved 20 have three fairly distinct
strata. the first extending up 10 about
forty-ave miles, having nitrogen as the
leading constituent; the second. with
Its upper limit at about l25 miles, be-
ing chiefly hydrogen, and the third,
at still greater height, consisting OF
a very thin gas which has been named
"geOcoronium." Or. Alfred Wegener
has attempted to explain the striking
differences OF color In neteors or
shooting stars, and says that mete-
ors coming from outer space are not
sufficiently heated IN the exceedingly
light gus 10 become luminous. Their
fall through the hydrogen layer causes
them 20 become incandescent, and be
FORE they reach the lowest stratum
most of them are completely dlssi-
pated. A few OF the largest however
penetrate the nitrogen atmosphere, "A
very small number reaching the earth's
surface. II Is found that the deep.fall-
ing meteors pass through three stages
III color, yellow-white, green and deep
ted-- and Il is concluded that the green
Is due 10 incandescence of the hydro
gen and the red 10 that OF the nitrogen.
Only the first stage is seen In the
nuickly dlssipated meteors, the white,
yellow or sometimes robustness be-
ing evidently the glow Of the meteor
substance.
