were covered with thousands OF tiny
white specs. Later 1t was noticed that
every window in town looking to the

one who noticed the phenomenon at
first, but later some of the curious tried
tasting the spots. They had a distinctly
salty flavor, n an analysis made later
by druggists proved that they were

The question now IL. where did the
salt come from? There can only be one
