Genet's absurd career was short, but very meteoric while it lasted, and full of anti-British mischief-making.

Meteoric phenomena, it has been demonstrated, all proceed from one common causeirregularity in the density of the atmosphere.

I had now no doubt that I was about to pass through one of those meteoric rings which our most advanced astronomers believe to exist in immense numbers throughout space, and to the Earth's contact with or approach to which they ascribe the showers of falling, stars visible in August and November.

I would always treat any given young person passing through the meteoric showers which rain down on the brief period of adolescence with great tenderness.

Who has not lived at one time or other in his life in daily contact with people of this sort,persons whose outbreaks of temper, or of wounded feeling still worse than temper, were as incalculable as meteoric showers?

They may even be volatilised into glowing meteoric vapour; but in time this heat is dissipated, and the force of gravity condenses a meteoritic swarm into a single globe.

It was a picture of aira phantasmagoric spectacle, built of luminous vapor and meteoric fires, and hanging in the dark round of space.

His detractors, however, were the first to own that there was "something about him"; it was felt that he had passed beyond the meteoric stage, and the business world was unanimous in recognizing that he had "come to stay."

Mild weather had characterized the season, which had been predicted by some persons as the consequence of the remarkable meteoric displays in November.

One of the St. Ignace Indians, referring to the meteoric phenomenon of the morning of the 13th of November, said that the stars shot over in the form of a bow, and seemed to drop into the lake.

They spoke of the meteoric phenomenon of November.

"On the night of the great meteoric shower, in Nov. 1833.

He said that cosmic dust is found on Arctic snows and upon the bottom of the ocean; all over the world, in fact, at some time or other, there has been a large deposit of this meteoric dust, containing little round nodules found also in meteorites.

In Greenland some time ago numbers of what were supposed to be meteoric stones were found; they contained iron, and this iron, on being analyzed at Copenhagen, was found to be rich in nickel.

The Esquimaux once made knives from iron containing nickel; and as any such alloy they must have found and not manufactured, it was supposed to be of meteoric origin.

Some young physicists visited the basaltic coast in Greenland from which some of the supposed meteoric stones had been brought, and in the middle of the rock large nodules were found composed of iron and nickel; it, therefore, became evident that the earth might produce masses not unlike such as come to us as meteorites.

It was 2½ times denser than water, yet the whole earth is 5½ times denser than water, so that if we could go deep enough, it is not improbable that our own globe might be found to contain something like meteoric iron.

The meteoric rise of IT had thrown up lots of opportunities.

And in his soul conflicting strove Northern indifference, Southern love; The chastity of temperate blood, Impetuous passion's fiery flood; The settled faith that nothing shakes, The jealousy a breath awakes; The planning Reason's sober gaze, And Fancy's meteoric blaze.

It is the clever girl who suffers most of allnot the brilliant, meteoric girlbut just the ordinarily clever girl, as other girls know her.

Finally there is meteoric dust, which is continually falling to the surface of the earth, but in such minute quantities and in such a finely-divided state that it can be detected only in the oozes of the deepest oceans, where both inorganic and organic débris is almost absent.

Its decline and disappearance were no less spectacular than its meteoric rise to fame and fortune.

4. Rivalry in the Pacific and in Asia has been heightened by the meteoric rise of Japan as a world power, the dismemberment of the Japanese Empire after 1945 and the fierce subsequent economic competition between Japan and her planetary competitors, chiefly the United States.

After two hundred years of meteoric development, it exists today on a planet-wide scale and at a level of all-pervasive dominance undreamed of even up to the middle of the last century.

I have found no cases of demon dogs; but wandering lights, probably of meteoric or miasmatic origin, are certainly regarded as tokens of death.
