A SHOWER OF RATS.
Thousnnds OF the Rodents Horne BY
Tornado over a Tovnin
I Algeria.

The town of Bougie, in Algeria, was
lately visited by shower of rats.
For many years thousands of rats,
in company with many hundreds of
monkeys, inhabited the Couraya, a
high mountain towering over Bougie.
The great storm which swept them
from the mountain arose early in the
afternoon, and soon developed into
furious hurricane. A huge funnel
shaped cloud of dust and stones hurled
itself over the mountain, destroying
everything in its path Oddly enough,
most of the monkeys managed to hold
on to the pine trees, although the
larger portion of them were killed;
but literally thousands of rats were
carried high into the air and strewn
in vast numbers over the Grand Pharc
and the suburbs of Bougie.
The Kabyle tribes of the neighbor-
hood, who are extremely supersti-
tious, were terribly frightened and
fled in all directions, spreading terror
over the district They believed that
the rats were sent down from the skies
TO punish them, and that the end of
the world had come In the town the
more intelligent Arabs were less
superstitious and promptly set to
work to kill those rats which were
not already dead. But there were so
many of them still alive and they
found such convenient hiding places
that the hunt is stll going on.
The suprefect Of Bougie went out
into the country on his motor car TO
reassure the Kayblcs, and finally sue
ceeded in pacifying the chiefs so that
the people returned TO their homes.
