Phenomenal Showers
7.. ~ ~ v-a..l- Ss.f,.

The story comes from Dakota that
the good PEOPLE of jamestown have
been treated t. a shower Of frogs.
Years ago this interesting visitation
wo0ld have inspired awe and even
fear bnt the intelligent ffortiersmen
of Dakota take CONNIE a sense view
of the event. A very lively hurri-
ne was in the neighhcrhood just
then, ard the people think the frogs
Nc caught up rom their place of
aboas in s siop@A, had free ride on
the wings of the storm, and were f.
nally dumped into the principal street
Of the town. This view is certainly
more plausible than the old notion
on similar occasions, s. hich was thai
the frogs OF some other world were
making a tour.
Professor Geikie says that the falls
OF frogs and loads are frequent oc-
curreuoe in Italy, but it is noticed
that the phenomenon always takes
place near a wall, and there is a grave
suspicion that the little hoppers are
merely washed from the roofs and
cutters during a heavy fall Of rain.
A little science and observation usu-
ally strips these surprising occurren-
ces of their mysterious aspects. The
rain of blood that frightened The
Hague nearly out of its wits in the
ayenteenth century, was caused by
an enormous swarm OF tiny red wa
ter fleas. Other sanguinary showers
have had an equally harmless origin,
and most of them have certainly been
caused by rain falling through very
ine red dust from desert regions,
which is sometimes carried through
the air for hundreds of miles.
The peasantry of Andalusia in
1904 witnessed shower of wheat,
and were disposed to think the good
old days of the children of Israel had
returned when provisions were prov.
identially supplied. The explanation
was very simple when it was found
out. Over in Africa across the Straits
Of Gibraltar, some iaborers had been
chreshing wheat. While they were
at their midday meal hurricane
swooped down, swept their threshing
floor clean, lifted the grain thousands
OF feet in air by its mighty suction,
4 finally sowed it over the streets
ef q Spanish town. There is q good
deal OF humor in the pranks nature
occasional : plays, though The world,
aeGore II understood nature saTy
I, often thought these sportive
freaks were matters Of very solemn
and portentous import.
