0. O. Atta, local il.'nited States e

the stange visitor a meteor or mete- j ii
orite. He explained that frequently fi
meteors do not reach the earth in- ii
! tact, but explode and shatter them- s
selves into small particles and dust j f:
before crashing down for a head-on jc
collision with the earth. A long di3- s
tance telephone message to Mr. Atto b
Ifrom Shelby told of the object hiving
been seen there. There was ap- t
parently a difference of some minute? h
in time between the staging of the c
sky performance here and in Shelby p
Mr. Atto remarked. s
Mr. Atto explained that the bright: fl
trail left behind was caused by the t
sudcten heating of * the atmosphere, p
Meteors, he said, have been known lo d
contain about all the known chemi- C
cal-elements, and the wake of the s

There is considerable disagreement Tc
