Over a Hundred Seen at Geneva, N. Y., by Prof. Brooks.
GENEVA, N. Y., April 29.?Prof. Brooks, Director of the Smith Observatory, while taking daylight observations of Mercury this afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock, observed through the large telescope a flight of daylight meteors.
They were intensely white, many of them having the appearance of Vega and other bright stars when seen through a large telescope in day time. The direction of motion was toward the sun.
During the passage of the meteors, which lasted half an hour, over 100 were seen, at times two or three meteors passing through the telescopic field together.
