Blood Showers In oiden Times.

In the "Annals of Remarkable Hap
penings In Rome" mention is made of
ID different showers Of blood, or blood

Cured between the years $40 A. d. and
ITO.
In 1922 we find record of shower of
blood and dust which covered the larger
part Of Ital,. In 1926 ''snow" fell In
Syria (which presently turned into
large brooks and pools of blood" A

whose manuscript is now preserved In

days shower Of blood "all over south
ern Europe" Burgundy had q blood
shower in 1851, and Dedfordshire, Eng

A little bowlegged Jap about 4 feet
high made the conductor ON a Market
street car feel very uncomfortable yes
terday. The Jap got on the car at
Powell street, and in payment Of his
fare gave the conductor transfer. He
glanced at 1t and observed that It had
been punched an hour before.
Fare, please!' he growled as he
held out the transfer
''I have gave you one transfer, +" said
the Jap very calmly and deliberately as
he stared ahead like wooden Indian.
"That was punched an hour ago."
''I cannot help If the conductor punch
a wrong hole" declared the Jap.
'But it II not good. I want your
fare. )"
''If it is not good, why he gave IL
me7'
"will you pay your fare'"
"No."
"Then you will have to get off"
II neither pay any more nor get off, Z"
declared the Jap deliberately, and his
face never moved a muscle.
"Then will have to throw you off. T"
And the conductor stopped the car.
"You are afraid to put me off, IL you
even could. The law says you must take
transfers, and your employer says you
must take it, too, IL you cannot make a
man pay again. You cannot make me
pay again"
The conductor gave the bellcord a
jerk, and the little Jap continued to
stare out the window opposite. San
