MADE AUDIENCE SHIVER
MIGHT OF METEORITE VAST AREA LAID WASTE (United Service) Reed. 9.5 a.m. RIGA. Thursday. Professor Kulik, who recently, located the world’s largest meteorite, which fell in the far north of Eastern Siberia in 1908, in a lecture at MWscow, says it demolished every sign of an**mal and vegetable life over an areai of 2,500 square miles. It laid the trees of a surrounding forest flat for a 100-mile radius. Cinema pictures showed the appalling desolation done. The audience shivered as he concluded: “Astronomers and geologists know there were exceptional circumstances, but there is no reason why there should not be a similar visitation at any time upon a more populous region. If it had fallen in Central Belgium there would be no living creature left in the whole country, and if it had fallen on London none would be left alive.
