FIRST Showing OF
new MAXWELL IS
TOPIC OF THE DAY

All Phoenix motordom is turning
ont by the hundreds TO see the great
est sensation that the automobile in
dustry has produced for at least five
years. The car in question is the new
series of the good Maxwell, and it is
the first car built and produced en-
tirely by the new $7OOOOOOO organi-
zation that took over the Chalmers
and Maxwell factories a year ago.
Without exception those who have
seen the new car have pronounced it
the greatest step forward the automo
bile industry has had for years. Its
beauty of line sets it off in any COM
pany, and the fittings and details Of
construction mark a new standard of
engineering. The equipment includes
new type of drum head lamps, four
inch cord tires, disc steel wheels,
genuine leather upholstery and Ale
mite chassis fabrication.
According to the R. D. Roper Motor
Co., state distributors, more than two
thousand people have already seen
the car and admired it, and cordial
invitation is given every man, woman
and child to call and inspect the new
product.

had ever seen it, and the story was
supposed to be myth. According to
the tale. it lay near the village of
Bacubirito. in the far northwest.
Ward, who was an ardent hunter Of
scientific curiosities, started out to In
vestigate. He was obliged to cross
Mexico by train, to travel by steam
boat 900 miles to Alfalfa, on the Gulf
of California, and to undertake thence
four days horseback journey to
Bacubirito.
His trouble was amply repaid; for
he found the meteorite a short dis
tance south of the village, in n corn
field--a huge object of black iron
shaped like a ham. half buried.
Twenty eight native laborers helped
him dig it up. and they lifted 1t on
levers so that 1t could be photo
graphed. With much difficulty Profess
sor Ward detached a small piece,
weighing IL pounds, which he carried
away with him.
Afterwards the mass was taken TO
the City of Mexico. where II is now
preserved. II was 13 feet long. G feet
wide, and over feet thick. A cast OF
1t, which looks exactly like the or.
| lginal, is on exhibition at the Museum
OF Natural History in New York. The

This IS the famous meteorite that was
fetched by Peary, the Arctic explorer,
from Cape York, on the west coast Of
Greenland.
Bringing The Meteor Home
Several centuries may have elapsed
since this giant meteor fell. Sir John
Ross heard of 1t from the Eskimo
when he visited Cape York in 1918.
But Peary was the first white man
that ever laid eyes on it. The Eskimo
regarded 1t with superstltious venera-
ton, and had named it "The Tent"
Two other large meteoric masses,
found in the near neighborhood, they
called 1.-The Woman" and "The Dog"
Their notion was that soma god had
thrown them out of the sky.
Peary brought home with him "The
Woman" and "The Dog" but he was
obliged to go back with special ma
chinery to fetch the great meteorite
To get It into the hold of the ship
was a big job, and dangerous, because
slip OF the tackle might drop 1;
through the bottom Of the vessel. The
mass OF iron was dragged aboard on a
track laid upon beams extended from

is worth mentioning that the circular

Makeup OF Fallen Stars
Perhaps the most interesting thing
about meteorites is that their makeup
is much like that Of the planet on
which we dwell. This Is not mere
theory; we know ii to be a fact, be-
cause we have opportunity of studying
the substances brought up from the
bowels of the earth by volcanoes.
Great quantities of iron are belched
up by volcanoes, with fused masses Of
basaltic rocks, and the iron contains
nickel.
A great majority Of all fallen
stars" are composed mainly of stony
material 1t is the same sort Of stony
stuff that makes up our volcanic rocks,
This is usually smashed to bits on
striking the ground; or, If not, 1t soon
disintegrates. Thus It happens that
the meteorites preserved in museums
are mostly iron ones. But the stony
ones always contain more or less iron,
and some of them are part iron and
part rock.
The National Museum at Washing-
ton possesses one of the most interest
ing Of known meteorites, which has
the shape of ring. Obviously it was
in the main composed of stony ma
terial. But the latter has disappeared,
leaving the ring of metal. This celes-
tlal curiosity has a diameter of 4 feet
and weighs 1,4O0 pounds. An army
surgeon found it in use as an anvil at
Tucson, bought 1t for few dollars,
and gave 1t TO the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
The only damage ever known to be
done by a meteor was when, in 1908,
one fell at Cocolapan, in Mexico, and
