PROFESSOR ARTHUR M.

~ ROFESSOR ARTHUR NJ.
MILLER, Of the University
Of Kentucky. has q special
line in astronomy which, though
not very much followed. Is OF alb
sorbing interest. It might be
called fishing for meteorites, ex-
cept that these strange wanderers
in the celestial ocean cannot be
bafted. nor In any manner caught
until they have landed" Of their
own accord.
Since their rapid flights through
the atmosphere before they get
down often extend for many hun.
dred miles, sometimes across sew
eral States. It might seem I'M
possible to follow the course Of
any one Of them from Its first
appearance until It has melted"
itself in the meshes Of atnos-
pheric resistance and dropped to
the ground-yet the feat. as
Professor Miller's success proves,
can be accomplished.
Many large meteorites (perhaps
all or nearly alp burst AMI scat
ter into q great number Of frag-
ments not long before reaching
the eartA's surface. On the prtn-
ciple that 1t is easier to hit a
target with a charge OF birdshot
than with q bullet, this may aid
in the pursuit by increasing the
chance Of finding the plaza where
the meteorfte came down.
The principles of this chase.
Ito vary the METAPHOR, resemble
those Of the bee-hunter. who sets
captured wild bees free at diff
ferent points. notes exactly the
directions of their flight, and by
estimating the crossing place Of
the converging lines, locates the
''bee-tree."
In q similar way Professor NIL
Ter has several times followed up
q meteor1te, utilizing the OBSERVE
tions Of others as far 40 available,
and succeeded In finding it, or
fragments OF It, far from the
place where its fiery flight was
first noticed
A specific case II always the
most interesting and convincing.
and here is Professor Miller's ac-
count Of how he traced the flight
of a meteorite In 1919, and re.
covered some Of its fragments.
