A Rain OF Mamma.

tween Merdin and Diarbekir, and covered
a circular area some six or eight miles In
circumference. Some OF it was gathered
up and made into bread, which was OF
good taste and very digestible. 6peci-
mems of the substance have since been
submitted to botanists, who find that it
is in form Of small grains, yellow outside
and white and mealy inside, and that ii
is lichen known to occur in some Of the
arid regions of Western Asia. It is sup
posed that the grains were drawn up in
a water spout and transported by the
wind at considerable height in the at
mosphcre. A French traveller has re-
ported that a similar fall Of this liohen
occurred in many parts Of Persia in 1928,
when it covered the ground to the depth
of nearly an inch, and was eaten by ami
mails and collected by the inhabitants.
Many other falls are said to have been

Frost Kills Fishes.

One of The incidents of a hard and
long continued frost IL the suffocation of
fish and eels in small ponds where no
thoughtful person has broken holes in
the Ice e permit the aeration of the
water which Is necessary for the continu-
ance of fish life. When ponds are thus

caught. At Diglis, near Worcester, a
number of cells have been caught in this
way, the instrument of capture being
pair Of blacksmith's tongs.
In tho pond at Dulwich an enormous
eel has been killed. The water was en-
tirely covered with ice, and, holo be-
ing made, great eel came to the sur
face. 1t appeared to be in a comatose
condition and Was taken out without
much difficulty. 1t measured thirteen
feet nine inches in length, was twelve
inches round the thickest part and
weighed nine pounds. But, though eels,
along with other fish, suffer from INSULT
cient aeration of the water in small ice
covered ponds there is no doubt that
they arc peculiarly susceptible to cold as
we'll.
There are several instances of conger
eels being washed ashore in great num-
bers during the continuance of severe
frosts, their air bladders being tightly

AT STEWART HALL.
Five Moonlight Reveries in the Old
World by Rev. W. B. Jennings.

A small, but cultivated audience
assembled in Stewart Hall last night
to hear the lecture "Five Moonlight
Reveries in the Old World" by Rev
w. B. Jennings, of Macon, Ga. His
lecture is based on the observations
of party of clergymen, of which he
was one, who started out from Alex
andria to visit the pyramids of Egypt
by moonlight. The great pyramid,
"the splendid" opposite Cairo, the
mausoleum of Cheops, of the fourth
dynasty was the Objectof much of his
lecture. 1t was indeed interesting t.
hear him describe this huge pile that
chad looked down on forty cen.
turtles" and marked the changes that
had been wrought by the hand OF
civilization. This pyramid was
originally about 400 feet high and the
side of its base TAG feet. The view
from its top as described by the lee
turer was grand. The prospect of the
plain and valley on the one side and
Of the undulating, barren surface OF
the Great Desert on the other,
coupled with many smaller pyra-
mids and their tombs beneath;
Cairo in the distance and yOnder,
mountains rising against the horizon,
all served food as fof thought and
matter for eloquence. The lecture.of
course drifted into the manners and
customs of the Egyptians, the Greeks
and Romans and later the Jews.
The time from the building of the
pyramids to the crucifixion of Christ
on Calvary, all fraught with historical
dOta relative to the advancement or
decay of civilization, was gone over
by the lecturer. His central thought
through it all was that God is revealed
to man through man. Nothing in
animate could inspire. The pyla-
mid5 of Egypt, the learning of
greece nor the pOmp OF Rome cOulu
make mankind better. But when
the son of God was crucified on Cal
vary revelation began. 1t was
through this means that the future
of mankind was to be settled, and
not through the scarped stones of the
pyramids, the brilliant learning Of
Greece nor the splendor of ancient
Rome. All these decay the picture
on Calvary will live forever.
In noticing the lecture the central
thought is only intended to be given.
A lack of space precludes an attempt
at lengthy synopsis.
Rev. Mr.. Jennings is a pleasant
speaker. His language is chaste, his
faultless and his style is
winning, The people who heard
him last night will welcome him to
GAINESVILLE whenever he chooses to
return.
