Scientific paper

ON Tuesday night, November 15, a wonderfully fine meteor was seen at Falmouth, and being out star-gazing at the time, I was fortunate enough to see it. I was looking towards that part of the Milky Way between Auriga, Perseus, and Cassiopeia, when suddenly a curved train of light flashed out; but, instead of just going away, it remained visible for quite eight seconds; meanwhile the lower extremity burst into a brilliant mauve ``cone'' of light, about a quarter the size of the full moon. So bright was it that it lit up the roadway, quite overpowering the lamps.
