BIG METEOR LOST FOR
CENTURY FOUND AGAIN
Huge Aerolite Is Rediscovered In
South America

BUENOS AIRES, April Tine
whereabouts of an aerolite of great
size, which was revealed to the Span
ish conQuerers by Indians about the
middle of the seventeenth century,
md of which traces have been lose
since the year 1912, have again been
ascertained, according to communi-
cation received by Prof. Clemente
Onelli, an Argentine naturalist. from
a Sensr Leberthou, who claims the
rediseovery The aerolite is located
In the province of Santiago del
Estero, in the uninhabited Otumpa
pampa, which is also known as Sky
Pampa," after the celectial origin OF
the stone.
Up to theFyear 1912 the situation of
the aerolite was well known, and
from the minerals which. constitute
its mass several flint-lock muskets
we're made. 1t was about the middle
Of the seventeenth century that the
spaniards, guided by the Vileaas In
dams discovered the great meteoric
mass, half buried in the sands. Re-
ports say that a large portion was
brought to Buenos Aires and part
sent to the British Museum.
After the war of independence and
the long period of formation of the
Argentine nation had passed. several
expeditions were sent out to search
for the aerolite. Other attempts were
made in more recent times. and it was
only this year that an attempt made
by the authorities of Santiago del
Estero province ended in failure.
According to certain analyses al
legged to have been made in 1872. the
meteorite was constituted of pure
meteoric iron, nickel and cobalt.

Buying of railroad stocks no doubt

more were also recorded by. ST. Paul

We seem to be paying scant atten-

and which was so carefully charted

But, here we are again, going

less, just as IL we did not have those

They appeared to be willing to take

But it is the little fellow who

fellow whose interests must be
