  METEORITES. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Foote 
  personally 
  collected 
  some 
  remarkable 
  meteorites 
  at 
  Canon 
  

   Diablo, 
  Arizona, 
  The 
  largest 
  mass 
  weighs 
  201 
  lbs., 
  and 
  another 
  154 
  lbs. 
  

  

  A 
  specimen 
  which 
  Professor 
  Foote 
  sent 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Koenig 
  was 
  recently 
  described 
  

   by 
  him 
  before 
  the 
  Academy 
  of 
  Natural 
  Sciences. 
  Dr. 
  Koenig's 
  analysis 
  gave 
  2-,% 
  

   per 
  cent, 
  nickel, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  only 
  piece 
  which 
  has 
  yet 
  been 
  cut 
  a 
  cavity 
  was 
  

   exposed 
  containing 
  small 
  diamonds. 
  As 
  this 
  is 
  the 
  first 
  instance 
  of 
  the 
  occur- 
  

   rence 
  of 
  this 
  gem 
  in 
  meteoric 
  iron, 
  the 
  find 
  will 
  be 
  of 
  great 
  interest 
  to 
  scientists, 
  

   though 
  of 
  no 
  commercial 
  value. 
  Professor 
  Foote 
  was 
  assisted 
  m 
  his 
  search 
  by 
  

   five 
  men, 
  and 
  secured 
  every 
  specimen 
  that 
  had 
  been 
  found 
  before 
  his 
  arrival, 
  

   except 
  parts 
  of 
  a 
  40-lb. 
  one 
  that 
  had 
  been 
  broken 
  up. 
  

  

  Hence, 
  in 
  spite 
  of 
  the 
  great 
  interest 
  attached 
  to 
  them, 
  they 
  are 
  offered 
  at 
  the 
  

   following 
  low 
  prices: 
  Small 
  complete 
  masses. 
  25c. 
  to 
  $5.00 
  ; 
  larger 
  masses, 
  $10.00 
  

   to 
  $50.00 
  ; 
  polished 
  surfaces 
  about 
  25$ 
  in 
  advance.
