In 1998, there were 781 meteors recorded; three years later 431 meteors were counted in the eastern half of the sky.

Face fetches Subtle, a charlatan, into the house and represents him to all comers as one skilled in alchemy, able at will to call up the spirits of heaven and earth. Aided by Dol, Subtle's wife, the cunning sharpers play upon the credulity...
