| Pontus. of Cahors, communicated TO the
French Academy in 1904 the particulars
| of a shower of frogs near Toulouse.
! Pontus saw the young frogs on the
cloaks of two gentlemen, who were
caught in the storm on the road. When
the diligence in which he was travelling
arrived at the place where the storm
burst. the road and fields were observed
to be full of frogs. in some places three
or four deep; the horses hoofs killed
thousands during the passage of the
vehicle along this spot. The railway
trains and street cars of a town in New
York were stopped several months ago
for the same reason, the immense num-
Der of small frogs causing the wheels
of the cars TO slip on the rails and rem
dering progress impossible until the
tracks could be cleared of this strange
obstruction.
Concerning showers of insects, there
is notable instance recorded in the
journal de st. Petersburg" for 1927
A heavy snowstorm occurred on the
18th Of October, at Pakroff, in the gov
ernment of Tver. The snow was ac-
companied by prodigious number Of
black insects, about an inch and
quarter in length; they had fat. shin
ing heads, a velvety kind of skin.
marked with rings or bands and feet
which enabled them to crawl rapidly
over the snow Such of them as were
carried into a warm place died present
ly; but the rest remained alive for a
considerable time in a very severe tenn
perature.
1t has been supposed by many that
winds, whirlwinds, and waterspOuts are
the chief causes of these curious phe-
nomena. Waterspouts, it is said, are
not unknown in that portion of Ross
shire where the shower of herrings took
place in 1928. The herring fall at Islay
occurred after a day of very heavy
rain; and that at Loeb Levin during a
strong gale from the Firth of Forth.
The occurrence at Wick was attributed
by the more intelligent inhabitants TO a
waterspout. At Stanstead, a thunder
storm preceded the fall of fish. At Cal
cutta the fish shower was both pre-
ceded and accompanied by a smart
shower of rain. At Allahabad blast

as to blow down several large trees;
and it was after this wind that the fish
were found upon the ground. At Tou-
louise the shower of frogs vas preceded
by the sudden appearance Of very
thick cloud from the horizon, and the
bursting out of thunderstorm. In all
these instances the results were proba-
bly, due, wholly or in part, TO the fact
recently demonstrated, that wind has
n strong tendency to become circular or
rotary, sucking up from beneath any
small, light objects that may be in the
way, carrying them to a distance, and
depositing them when the force is al
layed. If this occurs on land, the result
is a whirlwind; if on sea, a waterspout.
There is one case on record, in Norway,
of a colony of rats, while migrating in
vast numbers from the high to the low
countries, having been overtaken ,

THE ACTION NOT UNDERSTOOD
No Reason for the appointment of n
New Portuguese Minister.

The appointment Of a new Portuguese
Minister to succeed Viscouut de Santo
Thyrso in Washington is not understood
at the State Department, where it is
claimed that no reason can be ascribed
for the action of Portugal.
II has been alleged that the viscount
cabled prematureIy the news of the death
of President Mckinley to the Portuguese
Foreign ONCE. and that this is the reason
for the change. If this be tue, the State
Department has not been so informed.
The officials state that Portugal sent
her condolences at about the same time
as the messages were received from the
other nations, thus intimating that no pre-
mature announcement was made
Certain reports to the contrary notwith-
standing, 1t is understood that Santo-
Thyrso left this country with no un-
frierdliress or bad feeling. He recently
went to Portugal for his vacation and
the announcement was then made that
he would return in the spring.

DOVER RIGHTS OF WIDOWS
an important Decision Handed
Down by Justice Hagaer.
AN Interpretation of Enactment Re-
gnFtiHg Married Wemen-EntffIrd
TO share In Equitable as Wen a-
Legal Property of Husband.

An important decision was recently
made by Justice Hagner, relative to the
| equitable and legal dover rights of Wild
ows in the estates of their deceased hus-
bands. The decision -sas rendered in
| connection with the litigation of the sait
/ of Mrs. Mary p. v. Mangan against Kate,
Maurice. Maggie, and John Mangan. in
| fants, and others, in which she asked the
court TO award her dover rights in the
estate of her husband, Maurice Mangan.
who died in November. 1898 The pro-
| ceedings We're instituted in July, 1899
Prior to the passage of the act of June
l, 1886, entitled An act to amend the laws
of the District of Columbia as to married
women, etc. widow was only entitled
to dover in the legal estate of her htis-
band, or that property which he owned at
the time of his decease. unencumbered by
either deed of trus, or mortgage. Sec
tion 10 of the act referred to is to the eff
feet that dover shall hereafter be as
signed to a widow entitled to the same
in the equitable, as well as the legal. es-
tate of her deceased husband"
In November. 1898, Maurice Mangan
died in this city seized and possessed of
sublot As, in square $40. uneneumbered,
and an equity of redemption in subIot
contained 10 provision whatever for his
widow, Mary P. V. Mangan, in lieu of her
dover. She filed a bill in equity, praying
that the dover might be assigned her in
both pieces of property, and as the prop
erty was incapable of subdivision ''in
specie" she prayed for a partition and
sale of the property.
Justice Hagner, before whom the case
came up for hearing, held that she was
entitled to her dover in both pieces of
property, and that she could maintain her
bill for a partition and sale. He appoint
ed trustees to sell the property
This appears to be the first ruling upon
this question since the passage of the act
and is an exposition OF the rights of Wild
ows under the present law. The ruling
is important, for the reason that most of
the property at the present time is more
or less encumbered by mortgages, and the
dover of widows can only be assigned out
of such property. The decision is also i'm
pOrtant for the reason that the equity
court is enabled TO take jurisdiction OF the
case, and grant the widow complete re-
lief, giving her gross sum out of the
proceeds OF the sale Of the property in
cases where the property is Incapable of
subdivision in kind

VIII assay TO go where l= is not want
ed. or where his civil and political
rights do not entitle him to go"
The Planet" Richmond, Va, says:
The talk of social equality win deceive
no one. Prof. Washingtons views on
this subject are open pages. and his in
struc,iOns have been in accord with
| those of the most conservative white
citizens of the Southland. Colored peo-
President Roosevelt as meaning that
ability will ne recognized and the
worthy men of our race accorded all
their rights under the law. 1t is sig
nificant fact that Prof Washington was
there in advocacy Of the claims of
Southern-bOrn and bred white men
rather than in support of the much-de-
tested carpet-b1gsers who have been
the bone of contention in the matter of
appointments for more than thirty
years. He had accepted the advice that
the citizen of color would be far better
off in the hands of the upper class,
aristocratic, slaYe-owning Southerners,
even though Democrats. than in the
hands of some of the alien, place-hunt-
ing white Republicans 1t seems to be,
then, the irony of fate that the very
Democratic white people whose claims
he was successfully championing
should have been thrown off their guard
by the clamor of the negro-hating white
masses, and led to ridicule and abuse
two of the best friends the South has
ever had. 1t emphasizes the fact that
the hope of our people is with the
wealthy, business classes, North and
South, rather than with that lower
strata of humanity. which the progress
sive classes of us are slowly, but surely
outstripping. Ignorant, dissolute, shift
less, progressive white men will be
placed in the same class with the ig-
norant, shiftless progressive negro. |
Here Is an American citizen, who is |
able, honorable, learned. of admitted !
He has been hOnored by |
the leading white citizens of the South, |
and legislators of many States have |
listened to the persuasive powers Of his |
oratory. He preached at first the doc
trine of place for the negro, the gos-
pei of industrial education for the |
masses. Time and time again, white |
men have said that if all the negroes |
were like Washington. no objection |
would be made to them. Washington |
