FALL OF A METEORITE

A meteoric stone is said to have fallen on the evening of Oct. 7th near =
the town of Norwood, Mass.

It was about two and a half feet long, one feet to one foot and a half =
wide and one to one and a half thick. Its weight was about 250 lbs. The =
stone is crystalline but seems to be like ancient lava. The gray stone =
is about as hard as rock crystal and has a slight salty odor. The stone =
has a mich corrugated surface. The bolide in falling had broken the bars =
of agate and penetrated the ground to the depth of three feet: =
subsequent enquiry verified the fall of the meteorite as occuring at =
6:15 on the evening of Oct. 7th. The fall of the meteor or so-called =
shooting-star was seen by several passers at that time. The stone was =
still warm when found in the morning.

Thats it for today....Mark
