the ocean. The place from which this
handful of loan was taken became
Tough Neagh. charming little lake In
the Green isle; the earth which fell into
the ocean. half way between Ireland and
England. was called the Isle of Man.
Thus Is the origin OF this popular and
interesting resort accounted for, in the
old-time legends connected with the his
tory Of the island. True or not 1t is an
undenable fact that "Manx-lnnd" is
most churmlng spot. Poets have sung Its
praises. and thousands OF people from
England. Scotland and ireland flock to
It every season. The sturdy Manx peo-
pie are proud Of their history and home,
and look with half-concedled dsdaln
upon that presumlng Individual who dares
speak in aught but terms Of deepest adj
miratlon OF the Isle OF Man, As health
resort 1t ranks high. Concerning the dur
alton OF sunshine 1t stands third In the
list OF the thirteen districts into which
the British Isles are divided for meteoro-
logical purposes. The equablllty Of the
Manx climate Is also remarkable, there
being comparatively little difference be-
tween the heat OF summer and the
"cooth" VI winter, The summers are
cool and the winters mild both being due
to the "insulnr" character OF the climate.
