Scientific paper

YESTERDAY (Sunday), June 13, at 10.12 p.m., looking eastward, I saw a magnificent meteor, extremely brilliant, darting from southward to northward, at an altitude of about 30°. It must have been a minute or two in view, as I had time to stop walking and watch it describe a long track. When it had passed the prime vertical it burst into a shower of sparks which, falling in a second or two, became invisible. The colour of the meteor was intense white, with a bluish tinge in rear, and only a very slight trail was visible. On exploding the light was crimson for an instant, and the sparks were red.
