FIERY TRAvELER or NEAvEMa
SEEN OVER NEBRASKA
AND IOWA,

AND IOWA..
A dead comet, or perhaps a
miscreant planetoid, after travel
ing recklessly at the rate of forty
miles a second through infinite
space for seons of time, touched
gently on the outer edge of the
earth's atmosphere over central
northwestern Iowa at 1854 Thurs
day evening, tore westward and
downward to Nebraska through
the fresh night air, glowed red
with warmth and left fiery tail
to mark its path, until, worn thin
through making red-hot dust for,
its brilliant appendage, it van
ished into nothingness.
Thus is chronicled the history
of something men call a me-
| teor.
People in Sioux City thought it
was an Omaha aeroplane with a
skyrocket on its wing. They said
the heard the purr of the motor.
1t was also seen from LeMars, la.
Three loungers in front of the
|Woodmen of the World building
saw it fall--a greenish-yellow
thing with red tail--and hurried
over to Douglas street to see
where it lit.
| People on Ames avenue called
friends i'm Florence to find where
lit lit, while people in Florence
Thought it lit just over Florence
heights, but it really burned out
lchar north of Blair.
AS far as could be determined
by long distance calls made by
| the World Herald last night, the
meteor came west from some
where in northwestern Iowa,
1penetrated deep into the earth's
laimosphere and burned out few
miles from the ground and a
short distance north of Blair.
Bernice Hastings of Blair said
the meteor was almost above her
head and burned out when it was
still overhead, a little to the north
and west. She heard no sound.
Hazel Creighton. Bennington,
said it disappeared over the
northern horizon from her view.
Hundreds of Omahans saw the
meteor fall and disappear over
the northern horizon.
| The meteor even flooded cleo
trio lighted houses in Omaha
with its brilliant light. Tens of
thousands of people in western
Iowa and eastern Nebraska saw
the brilliant light as it fell. It
was seen i'm the northwestern cor
ner of Missouri and i'm the south
eastern corner if South Dakota.
| People between Omaha and
Blair reported that the meteor
lappeared half as large as the sun,
with a suffering, red-hot tail.
Some say the ball was red, some
blue and some greenish yellow.
One fact seems assured. The
miscreant meteor did not light on
anyone's farm, simply because il
was so fond of a brilliant tail
that it burned up its whole body
to furnish itself with tail Me-
teor's tails are their undoing.- -
World Herald.
The meteor, or whatever it was,
could be plainly seen here. Many
who saw only the reflection in
their homes thought it was a
flash of lightning from perfect
ly clear sky. 1t had blush re-
Election such as big spark from
an electric dynamo would give.

At present prices of grain, he ex-

PLANTING TREES.

The reforestation of areas that
should never have been deforested
proceeds a2ace Last year the state
OF Pennsylvania planted 2l,e9, go
trees on state lands. The work is to
be continued this year on nearly as
big scale. New York and several
other eastern states, whose original
forests have been pretty thoroughly
stripped, are engaged in the same
praiseworthy program. The newer
states. where citizens have not yet got
over the pioneers dislike for the for
est as natural enemy Of man. are
changing their viewpoint and conserY-
ing their timber supply more careful
ly. There is hope that they will es.
cape the fate of our older common
wealths
Along with this public activity, pco.
pie everywhere have come to attach
new Importance TO trees, whether as
protectors of the soil and conseryers
OF rainfall, or as timber OF increasing
value, or simply as things Of beauty
and comfort fer themselves and pos
terity. "Arbor day once largely sen.
timental, is now practical. And we
don't confine our tyee-panting to one
day in the year. We Plant trees near
ly all the year round, on our farms, in
our yards, in our parks and along our
streets, just as our public authorities
plant them in the mountains. Moth
ing is moro significant OF our newer.
