A Message From the Stars.

A meteorite weighing ten tons wa« found imbedded in the soil near New Castle, Col., about nine o’clock on the morning of November 29th. It was very warm, -when touched by wondering fingers, and bore other evidences of having had a fast journey through space. It was lying very still, a-lso, when found; and showed no disposition to leave its bed when oalled on by curious visitors. It was the only stellar specimen of its kind to be found in the neighborhood ol New Castle. Nobody saw it fall; but the warm and restful condition of the meteorite when found should satisfy all real scientists that it had come a long distance and was very tired—that in point of fact it was and is, in the purview of real science, a chunk of Biela’s ccmet. Welcome, 0 Chunk, to New Cut!#.— [Frank Leslie’s Weekly.
