from which the handful Of ea-th was
lifted became Tough Neagh. and that

legendary Titan missed his opponent he
al any rate achieved a notable par
pose. SAYS Spencer Nalpoie, for the
precious handful OF earth which thus
became the Land of Man and which
was destined TO form an island thirty

and. But If the situation of the Isle
OF Man accounts for its storms. it is
also ansWerahle for its climate. for
while ON the one hand it lies in the
a. D.. Hrar.-
uIessiCns which, created either in
America or ia mid0ceau. pa IS so con-
Ftantiy over these islands. ON the other
hand it's climate is tempered by the in
fiHeure of the gulf stree nm. which fol-
lows the same route. dVJ one branch
of which impingeS on jas shores. The
surrounding waters still further tenn
reT its summer heat and its winter
cold. so that few places Ia the world.
and probably no place situated so far
north. can claim a milder and more
oguable climate. The island is diviC ID
into two parts b. range Of hills, which
lnrersects il from the northeast to the
southwest. The mountain range which
thus forms the backbone Of the Isle
of Man consists almost entirely OF
schist in which. however. have been
tCund rich veins Of lead. which have
added largely to the wealth of the

The rich and varied scenery. of the
isle of Man and its mild climate have
made it the Fairgrounds of northern

Various explanations have been given .
of the name of The island. The NanE +.
themselves refer 1t to- Man AMMAN or
Mananan MacLir-Nananau. the son Of .
the sea. who IN MauN ard Irish legend .
was the first man who held the ISL
ard. Professor Rhys says that the name /
which Ga" teiis gave to the land of /
lae Picts was Mann or Mannin. tLat +
The Irish would cali the Islands of the /
IIetS the isles If the Nauuan. and that
the circumstance that the name Man
was applied 90 two islands is a prCof .
that the original Inhabitants of both
We're Pictish tribe and that both nat
uraIy received the name Of the Pictisb
Stands.
Legend tells as that in the beginning

NacLir. of Little Manauan. the son of
