TION FELL ON EARTH
Some time before noon today sev.
eral people noticed a number of yel-
low spots on the sidewalks and
streets. The spots were small and
looked as if they might have dropped
from a bucket of yellow paint car.
ried by a painter through the streets.
The rapidly increasing number of
them soon dispelled that idea howev-
er. Several person soon found drops
falling on their clothes. As they lit
tbey were moist but soon dried to
a yellow powder that looked like sul-
phur.
Some thought that it might be
caused by a swarm of fling insects
but none were visible in the sky.
The more reasonable explanation is
that the earth was passing through
a meteor strata and a rfleteor shower
was falling on the earth.

Officers early today went to a set
tlement about nine miles south of

stantly. Both them directed their
