Considerable szOitsment Was caused
In our city last Tuesday evening By
the announcement that . hail stone
weighing 50 pounds had fallen six
miles west Of salina, near the railroad
track. An inquiry into the matter,
revealed the following facts: A party
Of railroad section men were ut work
Tuesday afternoon, several miles west
Of town. when the hail storm came
upon them. Mr.. Martin Ellwood. the
foreman Of the party, relates that near
where they were 1t work hail stones
Of the weight Of four or i've pounds
were falling. and that returning to-
wards Salina, the stones increased In
size, until his party discovered huge
mass of ice weighing q near - he
could judge. in the neighborhood
Of 80 pounds. At this place the
party found the ground covered
with hail - II wintry
storm had passed over the land. Be
sides securing the mammoth chunk
of ice, Mr.. Ellwood secured hail
stone something over . foot long,
three or four inches In diameter. and
shaped like . cigar. These 'speci-
mems" were placed upon q hand-car
and brought to Salina. Mr.. w. ].
Hagler, the north Santa Fe merchant,
became the possessor Of the larger
piece, and saved it from dissolving by
placing il in saw dust at his store.
Crowds of people went down to see
IL Tuesday afternoon, and many were
the theories concerning the mysteri-
Gus visitor. At evening Its dimen-
sions were 9xl6x22 inches. Many
considered it fraud of the first water.
Mr.. Ellwood's statement Is straight
forward. and he evidently believes
that It was ice that came from the
upper regions. He is known to be a
reliable, honest man, and cannot
possibly be q party to . fraud.
The theory that the ice came from
some passing railroad train does not
seem to find favor, as 1t was some
100 feet from the track when found.
1 n appearance 1t seems to have been
worn and ground and perforated by
the elements. Some think that the
block may have been picked up from
some destroyed ice house BY the
electric storm which evidently Occu-
pied the upper air Tuesday afternoon,
and then deposited where it was found.
1t was imbedded some inches In the
ground. The question has arisen
whether such mass of ice can come
from fall of hail. Hail, though the
process of its formation is not per-
fectly understood, depends mainly
upon the meeting Of two nearly OPP
pOsite currents of air-One hot and
saturated with vapor and the other
very cold. These moving particles
of ice. moving with great force in
all directions, impinge upon each
other BY what is known rs regela-
ton, the impinging masses are frozen
together. Thus large hail stones are
formed, varying in size from an egg
to an orange i'm warm climates.
Hail stones are reported to have
fallen in tropical climates as large
as sheep, sometimes as large rs an OK,
or even an elephant! The authorities
state that the aggregation i'm these
cases were produced by regulation at
the surface of the earth, when a series
of large masses had inpinged on each
other, having fallen successfully on
the same spot" Now this story Of
Ellwood is made possible by prece-
dent. and the ice he produces may
have been q production of Tuesdays
storm.
