A Remarkable Meteor

WITH reference to the meteor a letter of mine concerning which you printed in your last issue (p. 464), have received some details from Mr. G. S, Russell, of. West Norwood, who saw, it from the neighbourhood of the Crystal Palace. From the facts that he saw it E.N.E. (as I did) and saw the “wobbling” close to earth, it is seen that the meteor must have been a great distance off, probably falling a considerable distance out in; the North Sea. He is convinced that it reached the earth's surface. Its great, distance off would account for its apparently very slow, movement. Owing to the steadiness of both its brilliancy and velocity it was probably of great size.
