* Astronomy

The day was clear, silent, and warm... At 3 in the afternoon... when I went of my house suddenly I heard an unusual muffled noise... like a drum without snapping and beating, even and continuous, right above my headas it seemed to me. In three days I heard that on the adjoining fields of the Zhigaylovka Sloboda, a stone fell from the air...ten versts from the town of Bobrik... We looked at the stone with great curiosity: and both the internal and external parts of it were very memorable for me, so in several years if I could see the stone from which a piece was broken off, I would easily recognise it.
