have fallen, some OF very great size
hurying themselves In the ground, But
the great majority of those that pass
through the atmosphere are relatively
small, and merely appear as streaks of
light which are popularity known as
shooting stars.
In this connection 1t is of interest to
note that in one Of the Western States
there is now buried far below the sur
face a vast mass of meteoric iron which
tests and probings show struck the sur
face untold centuries ago. 1t lies some
six hundred feet down. Its presence was
indicated by a deep depression in the
soil with marks which proved that at
some long time past an enormously
heavy body had crashed through earth
and stone at an angle Of about forty
Ave degrees. Operations have been con-
Quoted from time to time to recover the
ore Of this meteor. Now, with new
methods work is under way to this
end. and II is estimated that II the
mass can be reached its reclamation
will prove profitable.
There is insignificant chance that
any of the meteors which flow through
the atmosphere tomorrow morning Will
hit the earth head on, as did this giant,
and inflict damage The percentage Of
probability of such an encounter is too
small to cause the slightest worry. Ger
tainlv those who rise from their couchea
tonight in the hope of witnessing the
meteoric shower need not be concerned
about the risk of being struck.
