We do not notice the fact, but astronomers say that the streamer sometimes remains visible for fftee:l minutes or more. At first the streamer is a vivid green or scarlet streak. Presently it as- sumes a saairy forma, becoming more serpentine and irregular until it vanishes. Belief is entertained that the meteor leaves tehll:d it a tube -shaped layer of highly heated air, which expands and is finally dies:rateed. The atmosphere along its tt ,t .
