Meteor

ON July 23, at 7.15 p.m. (Irish railway time) a meteor passed, travelling nearly from south to north, being lost in a bank of black cloud. It must have been of considerable brilliancy, as it was quite distinct, although at the time the sun was well above the horizon. July 22 from ten to fourteen brilliant red pencils and thin columns of auroric lights were rising at intervals. There were also auroric lights on July 23 between 11 and 12, but much less brilliant.
