REPS PE ee peor — - ae * Jersey Shaken as Giant Meteor Falls in Sea Near Toms River Gigantic Burning Mass Starts Panic as Ex- plosion Follows Contact With Water. Tt has been established at Asbury Park, N. J., from reports received from the Toms River Coast Guard Station that the meteor seen along the New Jersey coast shortly before o'clock last night fell into the sea about five miles southeast of the Coast Guard Station. It is not known ‘whether there were any ships in the wielnity. The Coast Guard lookout was at- tracted by a biuish light in the sky and saw a ball of fire. It was accom- panied by a roaring sound and a tre- «mendous explosion occurred when the mass struck the water. An carth tremor was felt for a considerable @rea in and around Toms River, Reports that the meteor had fallen . On land were disproved. Headquarters @f the Coast Guard along the New Bersey shore is at Asbury Park. ‘The meteor appeared about one- fourth the size of a full moon and was the largest even seen by those ob- servers who reported it. It seemed to start from about forty-five degrees gbove the horizon and almost due pouth of New York, The meteor appeared first like a great globe of bluish green and its Drilliance grew as it fell toward the horizon, changing to yellow and al- most white and black to blue and green as it disappeared. At Sea Side Park on the Barnegat peninsular reporters found the town excited, shaken by the sight and the amell of the meteor and by the crash and shock that shook the town when {t fell in the sea eight or ten miles off the coast. At Lakewood many who had not “seen the meteor belicved there had ‘been an explosion in the Government stores at Lakehurst. ‘Window panes in residences in Toms River were shattered by the explosion, and the gases, pollifting the atmosphere for more than a quarter- hour, compelled the residents to hold dampened handkerchiefs to their nos- trils. In Lakehurst, N. J., many of the buildings were shaken as if by an earthquake. Dr. Edmund 0. Hovey, curator of the Department of Geology of the American Museum of Natural His- tory, @aid to-day that from the re- ports received there was little doubt that that object was not a rocket, as the Coast Guards thought, and an- nounced that, if further information indicated that there was any chance {the meteorite dropped on the land instead of the ocean, an expedition + would be sent out to look for it. Dr. Hovey was of the opinion that the meteorite exploded before rather than after it hit either the land or the ocean. He explained that meteor- {ites become incandescent from fric- tion with the atmosphere of the earth and that ‘stresses set up by expansion under hea? overcome its cohesion and cause It to explode." This, he said, happened more often In. the case of stone meteorites and ‘would Indicate that such was the com- position of the one seen last night. “Meteorites do not burn, strictly speaking,”’ he said; ‘‘they become in- t and thelr outer surface eff and probably disappears as @ fine dust rather than being actually consumed by combustion.” “We already have the second larg- * est, collection of meteorites in the world,” Dr. Hovey said, “and are anx~ ious to add to it. It numbers 654 specimens, including the Cape York meteorite, the largest in ‘the world, brought back from the Arctic by Ad- miral Perry in 1897. It weighs thirty- #ix and a half tons, We also have the Willlamette meteorite, the third largest in the world. It was found in Oregon and weighs fiffteen and a half tons, Both are iron meteorites.” Meteorite hunting is no easy task, however, he said. “It is very hard to get reliable information, and unless there is some chances of finding this specimen there is n@ use of going to look for it. Scores of meteorites come into the atmosphere of the earth every day, but few are found. I once went to Ohio too look for a meteorite which hundreds of people saw fall. ‘All the reports indicated that it must have fallen within a fairly limited area—one man saw it go over bis barn and land in a cron fleld—but we never found it.’ jie RAINBOW METEOR SEEN ALSO AT LOS ANGELES Visitor 20 Times as Large Venas Bursts in Air, LOS ANGELES, April 24—A meteor “of unusual sfze and brilliancy darted aeross the sky west of Los Angeles last ntght. Observers at the Mount Wilson ob- vervatory, about twenty miles north of here sald the meteor was fifteen or twenty times ag brilliant as the planet Venus, From their perch high on the mountainside they saw the meteor break at an apparently short distance from the carth, The meteor was of startling appear- ance. The body was followed by a flaming tall of blue and green shades which spread out like a fan ve eit ia ROWBOATS AT CONEY DESTROYED BY FIRE Piemee Alse Consu: 5 Cottages.
