RAINING Grain An article is CO.
pied into The National Gazette, OF Saturday,
from French Journal which gives an account
OF " Grain which fell from tbr sky in Persia -
! A packet containing portion OF tine substance
was lately received in France by Mons. Then
ard. which had been received by 1t. General
Soken who had served in Persia II appears
that it fell IN the Province OF Romeo not far
from Mount Ardrai, and covered the ground
| about six inches deep. The sheep were dis
covered eaiing it. which induced the inhabitants
10 gatherit, and on trial il wa, found TO make n
tolerable passabe bread. The same phenom-
enon occurred in 1924 On being examined
by Mons Thenard, he pronounced it to be a
species of Lnhen, belonging, perhaps to the
genus Lecided
L0tustS.-A French traveller tells, us
that the Arabs of Upper Egypt and the Red
Sea make sort Of bread of locuss; they dry
them and grind them TO a powder, thon mix
the powder with water, and make small round
caEes, which serve for bread when that neees-
sary article is scarce. So that the account
Of St John eating Iocusts in the wilderness, can
only be sneered AT by ireside travellers.
antiquities from Peru.-In the ship
Pacific gentleman has brought home two boxes
filled with relics OF the workmanship of the
aborigines OF Peru, probably fabricated in the
days of their lncas. The articles are of ear.
hern ware, well baked, kneaded into the
forms of bottles of various sizes, from a pint
measure TO such as might contain more Than
n gallon. They are ornamented on the out
side with the figures ofditferent animals, pro-
