[meteorite-list] Newspaper article, 06-1872 Comet Weather Influence
Paper: Dixon Telegraph City: Dixon, Il Date: Wednesday, June 19, 1872 Page: 9 (fourth column). Cometary Influence on the Weather A Washingon paper stated recently that the impression prevails among scientists there that the coming comet is the cause of the late dry spell of weather which has been felt so severely till the late rains. If such a draught is one of the first fruits of the coming meteor we might well dread the harvest of distress and blight in store for it. But the idea of cometary influence on the atmosphere can hardly be entertained by scientific men. The fact has been well attested by a long series of observations that there eccentric visitants do not radiate sufficient heat to affect the most sensitive mercurial thermometer yet constructed; and from that it would seem to follow that the popular notions of their meteorologic agency have no foundation. So far, however, from occasioning long dry spells, the flashing train has been popularly regarded as the augury of a bountiful harvest and vintage. The comet of 1811 was supposed to have been the cause of the prolific and abundant crops which were almost universal in the Old and New Worlds. Even now in the latter it is not uncommon to hear of the great comet year, and wines have sometimes been sold at a high figure, under the fancy of some influence in producing fine agricultural yields, and it may be the spectroscope, with its wonderful powers of analysis, may, ero (?) long, enable physicists to settle the long-agitated problem of the constitution and influence of these vast nebulous streams.

[meteorite-list] RE: Can you help identify this meteorite?
Dear List, Thank you all for your insight on my question sent a few days ago. All responses from members so far have disqualified this item from being a meteorite at all. I sincerely apologize for this fact, and again deeply appreciate your expertise and comments, specially to members Ken (magellon), David Weir @ meteoritestudies.com, Dave Freeman, Bill Mason, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Joseph Murakami, who very kindly gave me their personal opinions on this rock. You sure are a bunch of great guys!!! :o) Wishing you all my best wishes for these Holidays. With my best personal regards from a rainy yet warm Montevideo, Omar Facelli -- Previous Post: Dear List Members, I'm an antique and collectible dealer from Uruguay (South America). I work on eBay since November 1996, my eBay id is omar and have almost 1,500 positive feedback comments with no negatives. The main reason for this message is that a friend of mine has given me a meteorite to sell on eBay, but neither of us have a clue of how to describe, which kind or anything about it. I've uploaded 5 photos of it into this directory for your viewing: http://www.gaucho.50megs.com/omar/meteorito/ He's told me that he got it from the captain of a ship, almost 20 years ago, when he worked on board (he's in his 70's now). It seems the meteorite was salvaged from the bottom of the sea, nearby Montevideo bay, while fishing with the nets, a large rock got stuck into the net and got on board together with fish. He's told me that the rock was quite more big, but the captain divided it in several parts, keeping the larger stone and giving smaller ones to some members of the crew. My friend Roberto got this chunk (quite large I believe) and has been keeping it during all these years. It measures about 8 inches large, 2 1/2 high and weights about 2,400 g (approx. 5 1/2 lb). It shows several tones of grey, as you can see in the pictures, and all those holes (made by the sea erosion or natural to the meteorite when entering the atmosphere incandescent and cooling rapidly afterwards?). BTW, excuse my ignorance on this. I've been reading the list the past few days and I've enjoyed reading that there are a bunch of people actually in love with these rocks from outer space and willing to help. I know I'm just a dealer, but I love my work and also enjoy very much to learn about all I sell. Any help on this matter will be enormously appreciated.

[meteorite-list] Meteor Smokehouse
On a light note and very much off topic, On our last visit to Key West, Dianne and I came across the Meteor Smokehouse. They claim to have the Best Smoke in the Keys. We couldn't resist stopping in an having a nice smokehouse bar-b-que lunch. It is located at 400 Southard Street and is connected to the Green Parrot Bar / Poolhall which was voted by Playboy Magazine as one of the top 10 bars in the US. pictures at: http://www.meteorites.org/meteor.htm Happy Holidays to All, John Sinclair __ Meteorite-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
