today that no retailer could stag

will look at the annual shower of
meteors the night of August II,
but only few persons century
have seen the blazing churn" or
the "blacksmith's bellows
closeup Of meteor about to strike
the earth.
The August meteors are the
Perseids, which will appear in the
northeast sky after midnight of
Friday, August II. No Perseid
has ever been recorded as striking
the earth. They burn up at high
attitudes, with beautiful flashes
of light.
Like A Blazing Churn'
Descriptions of some of the
rare closeup views of neteors
large enough to penetrate to
earth's surface have been gathered
by H. H. Nininger, of the Colorado
Museum of Natural History. One
is from the letters of M. B. Har-
rison written in 1916 in Little
Piney. near Pine Bluff, Ark.
"On going out from dinner" he
wrote, 81 met man in my door
yard who was much alarmed at
the sound OF distant cannon,
as he supposed, proceeding from
a northwesterly direction. On the
following day visited place 20
miles east Of this, where the peo-
pie spoke not only OF hearing the
same noise. but of seeing body
like a blazing churn pass through
the heavens in a southwesterly di-
rection."
Descriptions Vary
The meteor proved to be a stone
weighing about so pounds. It's
surface bore a dark crust the
thickness of wrapping paper, evil

heated to flaming temperature.
Other observers of this same
meteor were quoted as saving that
their attention was suddenly ar
rested by a rushing sound. pro-
ceeding from a dark-colored body,
partially enpeloped in smoke,
which was moving horizontally
through the air, apparently only
400 feet above the tops of the
trees.
"They compared its size and
shape to those of a blacksmith's
bellows. moving with the large end
foremost. A bright light or blaze
was observed to hover around the
blowpipe extremity of the mass,
which vibrated ND and down
through the space Of few inches.
A streak of bright light 100 yards
in length followed the blaze"
Only Surface Burns
Only the surface of meteors
burns in the friction of the
atmosphere. When small like the
Perseids meteors they are COM
pletelv consumed while in the air.
But the big ones may strike the
earth with their centers scarcely
heated by the surface mean
descenee. They are of every con-
ceivable shape and size, up to
many tons.
Usually these big meteors are
seen only as balls of fire. be-
cause their brilliance obliterates
details of shape. Mr.. Nininger
found one description stating that
the head Of the meteor at the
forward part of it was a bright.
deep red. with flashes OF yellow
green, and other prismatic colors"
The fragments from a daylight
meteor which exploded in the air
were described By one observer
as resembling 'flying blackbirds.
