Diamonds From The Skies
Meteoric “irons” always contain a
considerable percentage of nickel.
They are, in fact, masses of nickel-
steel, and hence are of so extreme a
hardness as quickly to dull the tools
used for cutting them. It is said that
observation of this phenomenon gave
rise to the invention of nickel steel,
which is used for battleship armor.
Other substances found in meteorites
are copper, tin, carbon, phosphorus,
graphite, magnesium, calcium and
aluminum.
No gold, up to date. But to find it
would be no great surprise. Many
small diamonds have been found in
meteorites picked up in the neighbor-
hood of a so-called “crater” in Ari-
zona. This crater, which is certainly
not of volcanic origin at all, is believed
to have been formed by the impact of
a meteor 3,000 feet in diameter. It is
a circular hole three-fourths of a mile
across, 100 feet deep, with sides so
steep that the bottom is strewn with
skeletons of animals which have fallen
in and been unable to climb out again.
This gigantic meteor must have been
mainly composed of stony matter
through which, like plums in a pud-,
ding, were distributed ’ the nodules of
iron which today are scattered all over
the immediate neighborhood. The big-
gest of them weighed 1,087 pounds. It
is worth mentioning that the circular
hole resembles rather strikingly the
“craters” on the moon, which are be-
lieved by many geologists to have been
formed by the impact of "moonlets"
swarming about and eventually col-
liding with the lunar orb.

Make-Up Of Fallen Stars
Perhaps the most interesting thing
about meteorites is that their make-up
is much like that of the planet on
which we dwell. This is not mere
theory; we know it to be a fact, be-
cause we have opportunity of studying
the substances brought up from the
bowels of the earth by volcanoes.
Great quantities of iron are belched
up by volcanoes, with fused masses of
basaltic rocks, and the iron contains
nickel.
A great majority of all “fallen
stars” are composed mainly of stony
material. It is the same sort of stony
stuff that makes up our volcanic rocks.
This is usually smashed to bits on
striking the ground; or, if not, it soon
disintegrates. Thus it happens that
the meteorites preserved in museums
are mostly iron ones. But the stony
ones always contain more or less iron,
and some of them are part iron and
part rock.
The National Museum at Washing-
ton possesses one of the most interest-
ing of known meteorites, which has
the shape of a ring. Obviously it was
in the main composed of stony ma-
terial. But the latter has disappeared,
leaving the ring of metal. This celes-
tial curiosity has a diameter of 4 feet,
and weighs 1,400 pounds. An army
surgeon found it in use as an anvil at
Tucson, bought it for a few dollars,

accomplish its visible course. It was when he visited Cape York in
observed in eleven States, from Ne-
braska to West Virginia.
In February, 1875, a brilliant me-
teor shaped like an elongated horse-
shoe was seen all over Missouri and
Iowa. It had a flowing jacket of flame,
and detonations caused by its burst-
ing shook the earth. When it fell,
near Marengo, Iowa, an area seven
miles long and four miles wide was
fairly strewn with pieces of iron
weighing from a few ounces t 74
pounds. *
The largest "fallen star* ever found
is today exhibited at the entrance of
the Museum of Natural History in
New York City. It is a mass of iron
(with some nickel and cobalt) weigh-
ing 36% tons—11 feet, 2 inches long;
7 feet, 6 inches broad, and 6 feet high.
This is the famous meteorite that was
fetched by Peary, the Arctic explorer,
from Cape York, on the west coast of
Greenland.
Bringing The Meteor Home
the tale, it lay near the village of
Bacubirito, in the far northwest.
Ward, who was an ardent hunter of
scientific curiosities, started out to in-
vestigate. He was obliged to cross
Mexico by train, to travel by steam-
boat 600 miles to Altalta, on the Gulf
of California, and to undertake thence
a four days’ horseback journey to
Bacubirito.
His trouble was amply repaid; for
he found the meteorite a short dis-
tance south of the village, in a corn-

Two other large meteoric masses,

Their notion was that some god had
thrown them out of the sky.
Peary brought home with him “The
Woman" and “The Dog,” but he was
’obliged to go back with special ma-
chinery to fetch the great meteorite.
To get it into the hold of the ship
was a big job, and dangerous, because
a slip of the tackle might drop it
through the bottom of the vessel. The
mass of iron was dragged aboard on a
track laid upon beams extended from
the beach to the bulwark, hydraulic
jacks being used to force it up to a
point where the gun-tackles could
grasp and handle it.

7ALL the regions of illimitable
space seem to be filled with star
p dust. Mostly it consists of small
• ■ bits of metallic or stony ma-
terial, but some of it is in big chunks.
This we know because now and then
a fragment weighing many tons falls
upon the earth.
We call it a meteor, or a "fallen
star.” If you happen to come across
one, even of small size, grab it It is
worth money.
On any clear night, if your gaze is
bent upon the heavens, you will see
now and then a brilliant meteor gleam
athwart the sky. "Oh, see the shoot-
ing star!" you cry. But in a moment
the celestial firework has vanished
from sight.
It is a bit of star dust from outer
space, arid doubtless was burned up
by friction with the atmosphere. If we
had no atmosphere to protect us, mul-
titudes of people would be shot down
and killed by these projectiles, millions
of which are encountered by the earth
every twenty-four hours.
The e?oloding type of meteor is
called a “bolide." It does hot really
explode, but is broken to pieces by
striking the atmosphere. A projectile
of the kind, one should realize, travels
perhaps 200 times as fast as a cannon
ball.
