Showers Of frogs, are by no means
al uncommon occurrence Professor
Geike says that they frequently hap
pen in Italy, but il is noticed that the
phenomenon always takes place near
q wall, and there is a grave suspicion
that the little hoppers are merely
washed from the roofs and cutters dur
ing a heavy rain. The rain Of blood that
frightened the Hague nearly out of
its wits in the Seventeenth century
was caused by an enormous warn OF
tiny red water feas. Other sangui.
nary showers have had an equally
harmless origin, and most Of them
have certainly been caused by rain
falling through very fine red dust from
desert regions. which is sometimes
carried through the air for hundreds
Of miles. The peaSantry Of Andalusia
