*tr y OF METEORITES many theories advanced to EXPLAIN THEM. The Knowledge of Shooting Stars Extends Extends Back toi Prehistoric Times. ^You have probably wondered as you have watched a brilliant shooting star its'way through a summer night where these strange visitors come Æom and where they go. A recent publication of the Smithsonian Institution Institution deals with the'origin of shooting shooting stars and fireballs, both included in the term meteor. The explanations put forward at different times in; the past to account for these striking phenomena are discussed, and the author author then takes up the present ideas and the most probable theory as to their origin. .

He became a doctor, and was on. a pleasure trip in Italy when "the great battle of Solferino took place. He witnessed the terrible sufferings of the wounded left untended on the-field. He called the women of the district to his aid and had the wounded carried to a neighboring church, where he tended them.' This terrific experience, and 'the work of Florence Nightingale in the Crimea, led him to initiate an international international agreement for the better care of the wounded in battle, and the famous famous Red Cross Convention was the result. It was signed at Geneva by representatives of twelve Powers in 1864. * When'the Nobel Prize was awarded 'him--never more worthily--in 1901, Dunant is said to have been in a state of poverty.
