UNUSUAL CELESTIAL ACTIVITY
HZNIED BY SPRING METEORS

For the past month or six weeks
have been made both
in tho United States and Europe OF
the unusual number of spring meteors,
or Are balls" as they are termed.
Only a few days ago huge nre bali
darted across tho sky near Athens
Ga. This character Of phenomena has
already attracted the attention OF
astronomers as rather unusual at this
season Of the year. Astronomers
generally look for the November
meteor showers, but the unusual num-
ber of fire balls or shooting stars In
the spring season of the year. IT.
seems. is suggesting to the profes-
sional students and observers OF the
heavens that there must be something
out OF the common routine going on
in space around and above us.
For thousands of years, long De-
fore the dawn of modern astronomy,
the shooting star, the meteor shower
and fire balls Of the heavens have
been the subject of the deep and In
terestinE research and Investigation
by the astronomers OF all ages, even
before the invention OF the modern
telescope, yet the real nature OF this
phenomena is probably In as muen
conjecture and doubt as 1t was IN
those centuries.
Origin Mere Speculation.
The possible terrestrial or celestrial
origin of the meteor or fire ball is
still matter of astronomical specula-
tion and controversy.
A small body Is moving around the
sun. just as a mighty planet revolves
IN an ellipse. so even a small object
Evening star., 1922-05-11

will be guided around and around In
an elltpse with the sun in the focus.
They are too small and too far away
in space for our telescopes, and we
never see them or the effects of their
motion except under extraordinary
circumstances.
At the time we do notice the meteor
1t IL moving with such enormous
velocity that 1t often traverses more
than twenty miles second. Such a
velocity is almost impossible near the
earth's surface. the resistance Of the
air would prevent It, Far away in
the emptiness Of space there Is no air
to impede Its flight. 1t may have been
moving around and around the sun
for thousands, perhaps millions, Of
years without suffering any inter-
ference.
Eject OF Atmosphere.
In the course of it's wanderings the
body comes near the earth, and,
within few hundred miles OF it's
surface. begins to encounter the up
per surface of the atmosphere with
which the earth is inclosed. To a
body moving with the appalling
velocity of a fire-ball, or meteor, a
plunge into the atmosphere is of
course, fatal.
Even though the upper layers of
air are excessively attenuated, yet
they suddenly check the velocity, al
most as rife bullet would be
