THE DAILY EXAMINER,
MADE THE EARTH TREMBLE.
A Meteor That Left Three Giant Inter- locked Cloud Rings In the Sky. Some interesting information con- cerning the recent fall of a big meteor is furnished by R. L. Fisk, who recent- ly returned from a twe months’ trip in- to the game districts on the Blackfoot 1 Flathead. Speaking of the occur- nee, Mr. Fisk had this to say ‘We were bound igfo the Flathead courtry in search of bi¥rgame. The par- ty consisted of George Miller, postmas- ter at Lincoln; my brother and myself. We broke camp above Ovando on Fri- day morning, Sept. 17, and took what is known the ‘falls trail’ up the south fork of Montour creek. The trail is an awful one for pack horses even,
ind progress was very slow. Just before
mrt
r
as
6 o'clock in the afternoon we halted at !
some old elk wallows direetly on watershed. Here we unpacked, built a fire and started to cook supper.
‘*About 20 minutes past 6 the ground underfoot shook and vibrated, and we heard distinctly three reports, the first sounding more like the crash of some falling monster cliff weighing thousands of tons from some one of the numerous
the |
peaks surrounding us than anything |
else, and the other two the ringing ech- oes sent back from the steep mountain sides. The horses even noticed the trem-
ling of the earth and stood with point- ed ears and dilated nostrils, uttering startled snorts. somewhat facetiously :
My brother remarked
‘**Get down on your marrow bones, |
you fellows; the mountains are turning over.’
‘*We stood awaiting the next act, dis- cussing the prebable origin of the
strange noise. Happening to glance sky- | ward, straight north of our camp we |
beheld a peculiarly shaped cloud whit- | | every woman
ish gray in colour and resembling three interlocked rings. es we could make this out ever so clear- ly.
‘*We suddenly tumbled tothe fact that we had witnessed or rather felt the results attending a meteor’s fall. Mr. Miller looked at his watch and an- nounced the time as 6:23. From our camp it appeared to us that the meteor had fallen on the range we were then on. We didn’t know any one else had witnessed its fall until we got back in- to civilization about a week ago, and all of us counted on giving the interest- ing occurrence to the press. The smoke cloud was discernible as long as day- light lasted.
With our fieldglass- |
‘‘The next day, just after we struck |
Salmon Trout creek, a tributary of the north fork of the Big Blackfoot, we en- countered a bunch of Flathead Indians. They were Louie Ashley, a half breed; Kootenai, a stepson of the old Flathead chief Arlee, and anther brave whose Indian name meant coyote or some other of the wild beasts of the region, I have forgotten what. They had their squaws and children with them, All were ex- cited, and Ashley remarked: ** ‘Indian much scared. Think world ming to end. Get away from here.’ ‘*They were unanimous in the opin- ion that the meteor, for we told them that was what it was, had fallen on the range or watershed between the North Fork, Willow creek, a tributary of the South Fork of Flathead and Montotr creek, and I believe such was the case. ‘It is easy to account for the story that it strack near Hay Stack Butte in this county. A circle drawn with a cir- cumference of 50 miles with its central poiut on Willow creek will cover the headwaters of a dozen different streams flowing in as many different directions. It is but eight miles from Willow creek over on to the headwaters of Sun river. “If the formation of the country counts for anything in deciding just where it fell, it was somewhere in the range I have referred to. Iron predomi- nates, with considerable slate and lime and other baser rock. I honestly be- lieve if any one- wants to discover that meteor that the place to look for it is in the big range situated as stuted. I do not believe that the meteor as a whole landed anywhere. The first report was
in midair and then rained its broken fragments on all sides. We estimated the smoke cloud to be about 50 miles above the range and compasses placed it directly north, From the vibration of the ground we coneluded that some of the fragments struck within a few miles of our camp.

The Changing Leaves.
It is one of the marvels of trees that every species bears its own mark in every part, root and branch, bark and leaf, as well as fruit. A wise elder told us the other day the species of oak from which an acorn came by the fine tracery on the acorn’s cup. Such a riot of col- ors and tints there is in the falling leaves that one might think the colors
are accidental, but the keynote of color }
is constant in any species, with ouly ex- ceptional variations.
The mistress of a manse in the Vir- ginia valley once went into the woods and selected her young trees by their colors, and those colors they still wave in each returning fall. The birches are a golden yellow, while the oaks vary through yellow orange to a reddish brown. The red maple sheds at the last a dark red leaf and the tulip tree a light yellow. The hawthorn and the poison oak are violet, while the sumac and the wild vines take on a flaming scarlet. Soil will make some variations, and a dry season will almost take the color and beauty altogether away.—Rich- mond Ceutral Presbyterian.

FARMER AND MEGAPHONE.
How a Pilot on » Boat Stopped a Horse in a Cornfield.
I was on the upper Ohio once when the river was low, and was much amused over the use to which a pilot put a megaphone. He bought the thing to call ashore any message that might have been given the boat to carry. ‘This was to save time, for those little boats in the local trades are a great deal like the old fashioned mail car- riers—anything to accommodate the peo- ple along the bank.
‘We were in the pilot house, and the boat was running up a shoot near the West Virginia side of the river. In a corn-
| field was an old farmer, who was follow-
ing a plow behind an old, flea bitten gray that only needed a half invitation to stop at any time. The pilot put the megaphone to his mouth and shouted ‘Whoa!’ and the old gray whoaed.
thought, evidently, that a neighbor was there or thereabout, for he looked around fo see whence the sound came. Then he tossed a clod at the old horse and started him up
“ ‘Whoa! said the pilot, and again the old horse stopped. Then the old Rube went to the river bank and looked down in the willows, but not a soul could he see. He looked up and down and then at the steamboat and scratched his head in surprise He couldn't afford to waste any time in looking for the ghost, for he went back to the plow and started on with his job.
**Once more the joking pilot said *Whoa!l and again the horse stopped dead still, You could see from the boat that the old fellow was all mixed up, for he looked up and down the river and then at the hill- side behind him to see if he could find the man who Was working him and his old horse. He made up his mind that he would take it out of the old yray, and to fix for the cccasion he went to the under- brush and cut a stick that was 10 feet long. He started the horse with a venge- ance. When the pilot hollered *Whoa! again the old man gave the gray a lick that sounded clear to the boat. We could almost hear him say:
“ "Thar, gol darn you! I’li teach you to stop when you hear a spook hollerin at you
‘But the pilot kept up the good work and hollered ‘Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!’ and again and again the old man hit the gray. Finally it looked as if he had caught on, for he let the old horse stop while he watched the boat.
“Then the pilot thought he had had enough fun and he called out:
“ *Feed the old gray! Feed him! He's so hungry that he can’t work. That’s all - matter with him.’
“Then old Rube got his voice and we heard him say: ‘You go to thunder with your old voicet It'd stop a railroad train anywheres!’ " — Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
