Then ii became necessary to use the
combinations "BA." BIB" and BE" The fifth
time the astronomers started on the alphabet

will come down during the day, and,
as a rule, it comes down In torrents.
The sign never fails. This pre-sensa-
ton, or whatever you may call 1t,

when rain is forming, partly by hab-
