\ short time ago. according to
newspaper reports. d very brilliant
meteor. or shooting star, fell into
the Atlantic ocean off the New Jer-
sey coast and was seen by thousands
of people all the way from New
York to Atlantic City. in the south
ern par of the state. 1t was de-
scribed as a large ball of fire de-
%scending from the heavens. with a
thunder-like rumbling accompany
ng its flight.
A similar phenomenon occurred
more recently in Virginia, when the
meteor fell into a clump of trees
with a crash which was felt for
many miles. 1t dug a hole about
five hundred square feet in area and
actually set fire to some trees. It's
fail was seen for over a hundred
miles. and it lit. up the landscape
like a bolt of lightning.
Occurrences like these are fairly
rare, although thousands of m~eteors
are seen every year from any locd-
ton on the earth's surface. But n
practically all cases the phenome-
o takes the form of the ordinary
small shooting star, which eve
reaches the earth. 1t has been esti-
mated that about two meteorites
are thus seen to fall and are recov-
cred yearly. and the total number
which reach the earth is probably
not more than a hundred. 1t must
be recalled hat by far the greater
portion of the earth's surface is
water and Wilderness. The new
Virginia meteorite weighs, according
to estimates, about twenty tons. and
is probably next in weight to the
largest one that was brought by
Peary from the North and the larg-
est that has ever been actually seen
to fall by civilized men.
The Nature of Meteors
In spite of the popular appella-
ton, shooting stars" meteors are
not stars by any means, nor is it
probable that they originated from
or near any star other than the sun.
After the passage of a Shooting star
across the heavens all the real stars
will still be found in their original
places. They are, in reality. by far
the greater part, very small things,
about the size of a pea, which col

C0L0RED K. OF P. MEMBERS
At MEETING IN JAMESBURG

JAM ESBURG, July 1.-Jamesburg
was the Mecca for several hundred
colored people on Friday night when
the first annual reception was given
by the members of Barclay Brook
Lodge, knights of Pythias, of this
place. Nearly every community
within a radius of twenty miles was
represented and every one who had
a "best girl" was there.
Bunn's orchestra, of J~amesburg,
furnished the music for the dancing
that did not terminate until after 2
o'clock in the morning. Lange's
Hall, where the affair was held, was
beautifully decorated in honor of the
affair. A handsome profit will be
realized by the lodge as a result of
the affair, plus the good time en-
joyed by all present. Hundreds of
citizens attracted to the hall by the
novelty of Jamesburg's first affair
of this kind enjoyed the sight of the
pretty costumes and the dancing of
the participants.

and then Jupiter. Mars will be found
near the meridian. Near Mars is the
red star Antares. which greatly re-
sembles Mars in color but is not
nearly as bright: at present Mars IS
about thirteen times as bright as the
fixed star and is even slightly bright
er than the giant Jupiter. Venus Is
the brightest of all. being about six
times brighter than Mars or Jupiter.
Near Venus is the first-magnitude
star Regulus, the pride of the con-
stellation of Leo the Lion. but the
planet is seventy-five times brighter
than the star.
Among the fixed stars particularly
noteworthy is the great triangle
formed by the three first-magnitude
stars-Vera in Lyra, Altar in Aquil-
la and Deneb in the constellation of
Cygnus, the Swan.

earth's surface. Extremely rare, by
comparison, are those which reach
the earth u~nconsumed.
We know the origin of at least
some of these strange visitors. Years
ago a comet whose return had been
prophesied for a certain time failed
to put in an appearance as expected
inc greatly astoniShed all the as
tronomic world. But, instead, there
came at night a most plentiful
shower of meteors. 1t was calcu-
lated that these meteors had come
along a path which conceded with
the orbit of the expected planet
These shooting stars were therefore
the debris of the vanished comet,
which undoubtedly had been dis
rupted by the gravitational attrac-
ton of the sur or some large plane.
which it had closely approached. IL
can not, however. be said that all
meteors are the remains of disinte-
grated comets.
No elements have been found on
any meteorites which are not al
ready known on the earth, and this
used to be considered proof that
the entire universe contained about
the same chemical substances-that
is, if they were bodies whose origin
was outside of the solar system, IN
the realm of stars other than the
sun. On the other hand, the mere
fact hat no unknown chemical ele-
ments are to be found in meteorites
may be pointed to as proof that
their origin is to be sought right
within the solar system.
According to our present under
standing of the composition of mat
ter, the most elementary substances
are units of positive and negative
electricity. All the chemical ele-
ments are made up by various COM
binations of these according to laws
but imperfectly understood at pres
ent. 1t seems very likely, therefore,
thai the same combinations would
be formed elsewhere as on our own
island in the universe. The spectrum
shows us that atoms on the stars
behave just like atoms on the earth.
The Planets
Once again the planets command
our special attention. The four
brightest planets are in good posi-
ton to be observed in the early
evening sky, and all find places on
our 9 o'clock map. We would call
the attention of those of our read
ers who live in localities where day.

Low FLYING OVER CROWDS.

In w lANo NJ i<It INV w LIZ.
The proposal of the National Aero
nautic association and of the Society
of Automotive Engineers to draw up
a code of safety incorporating the
prohibition of low flying over crowds
and the elimination Of trick flying
over any populous area viii meet with
the approval of those who have wit
messed such performances and who
have trembled at the possible conse-
quences in the event that the air ma
chine should 90 wrong. We have
had demonstrations of the awful de-
struction of life and of danger to limb
when air machines have come down in
crowds or groups of people; and those
demonstrations ought to be sufficient
to convince anyone that low flying and
trick flying by airmen over crowds
ought to be eliminated entirely. If
the airmen themselves do not take
steps to remove the danger through
voluntary action it may become neces-
sary to impose such restrictions by
law as will protect the public. 1t is
to be hoped that the two organiza
tions above mentioned will be sue
cessful in framing a code of safety
which will be adhered to strictly and
that it win not be necessary for leg

tive legislation in regard to airplanes.
