RICHMOND, VA.
To he Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please say whether it rains little frogs or
not, as have seen them just after storm
jumping around on the ground and also on
the roofs of houses. l have also seen little
fish just after heavy storm jumping
around ON the ground. Some say that
frogs deposit their eggs in little close
crevices, and when it rains they come out.
Il. l.. @.
II does not rain frogs or fish except in
some rare instances when a violent wind
storm has scooped up the water of pond
and its contents. Ordinarily frogs appear
after rain merely because they have left
their abiding places.
