HEAVY HAIL AT POoLEa.
A Lady Gathers Sufficient Stones to
Freezs a Churn OF Ice Cream.

A Lady Gathers Sufficient Stones to
Freezs Churn OF Ice Cream.
Pooler was visited by lively hailstorm
day before yesterday about l O'Clock. It
lasted about fifteen minutes, and the stones
averaged the size Of pigeons eggs. They
fell in such quantities that Mrs II. II. Mar
shall gathered sufficient in the yard of her
house to freeze churn of ice cream. The
storm was only in a radius of FIVE miles, and
was Que Of the severest ever known in this
section. The gardens were practically
ruined, as all plants were beaten to the
ground and young peaches were knocked Off
the trees.
In this connection the signal bureau has
given some points about hailstorms that
will be read with interest, not only in
Pooler but elsewhere.
Hail occurs during thunder storm when
the temperature is very high upon the sur
face OF the ground, but decreases rapidly
with elevation. This reduction in tempera-
ture is the principal factor In the formation
Of hail.
The clouds in the upper region Of the air
are often at a temperature as low as 800
below zero. These clouds are usually NOV
ing contrary to the direction of lower clouds
which are OF much higher temperature, and
which consequently contain more water.
Inc olHsrenp stEaba OF CLOUDS coming IN
contact. the moisture in the warmer cloud
is rapidly oonde lssd below the freezing
point and its moisture frozen into pellets OF
ice, which may fall directly to the earth
from their own weight or be whirled into a
snow cloud which forms the white snowy
strata oftea observed in hailstorms. They
are finally whired without the vortex OF
the cloud motion and fall to the earth.
Hailstorms are usually Of few miles in
length and often only few hundred yards
wide.

sRuTrlNG up TIE DIMES. "
The SAVINGS Bank That Won't Open
Till It's Fun Causing Troupls.


I'LL It's FUN Causing Troupls.
Few people would think for al instant
that such trifiing little thing as the dime
and nickel savings banks, which are sold by
almost every statidnery store, news stand
and toy store in the country, would have a
tendency % embarrass the treasury depart
ment OF the United States in the circulation
OF fractional currency. Yet these little
banks have absorbed 50 many 10-cent
pieces that there is now a greater demand
than the treasury eau supply
The little banks were hrss introduced
several months ago. and have met with uui-
versal success. They are 80 arranged that
they cannot be opened until the amount OF
50 IN 1O>cent pieces has been deposited IN
them, when, by means Of u screw in the top,
the bottom can be pushed out. Thousands
OF people bought the little bank throughouS
the whole country, and started In to collect
IS in 10-cent pieces The consequence is
that there are so many l0-cent pieces in the
little banks that the government cannot
well put others In their places.
The craze is now az its hight, and there il
probably $4,000 900 stored away in the
banks May tie treasury Issued q circu-
lar Offering to send free of cost OF trans
portation amounts OF the subsidiary silvor
coin in exchange for other money. Last
Monday another circular was issued. which
existing regulations in regard to obtaining
fractional silver com. except 20 limit the
deposit thertor to $500. instead Of 81, 500, and
banks in sub-treasury cities must obtain
their supply from the sub-treasury therein,
as heretofore, while interior banks may for
ward to the sub-treasury their checks on
their correspondent in such sub-treasury
city, and the assistant treasurer will collect
such check and forward tha silver therefor
as heretofore.
There has been such drain on the dimes
in the treasury at Washington that the
supply is limited, but the Office will en-
deavor to keep each sub-treasury supplied:
but, in case Such supply is temporarily ex-
hausted, applicants must await further sup
ply OF be willing TO take five-cent nickels in
their stead. Savannah has not escaped the
invasion of the dime bank, and ten-cent
pieces are, therefore, becoming scarce. The
little iron boxes have been freely sold and
they hold oil the dimes.
