SHOWERS OF FISH.
A Common Occurrence in Some cOun.
tries.

The phenomenon OF shower Of fishes
which recently caused considerable
speculation" in the Caithness district is
Of more common occurrence than Is gen
orally supposed.
It IS undoubtedly due to some small
fry Of fishes having been lifted from the
water and carried over dry land by what
ia popularity known as waterspout.
When two currents OF air travelling in
opposite directions meet, the resulting
atmospheric disturbance II on a small
scale Is called a whirlwind and If on a
large scale is called a tornado, the de-
structive powers OF which are proverbial-
Ralph Abercromby defines a whirlwind
as "a mass Of air whose height is enor.
mously greater than is width, rotating
rapidly around a more or less vertical
axis The mass miIit be, for instance,
200 feet high and only ten feet in diam
eter. This whirling column has funnel
like center and may travel as fast as
thirty miles an hour in a particular
course.
The phenomenon is usually visible in
the sky as descending column. This is
owing to the compression OF cloud

Should the disturbance reach the sur

whirled up into the funnel and mingles
with The whirling column Of descending

waterspout.
When the rotary motion ceases the
accumulated moisture descends in
cIoudburst or as very heavy rain. The
small surface living fry offfish in the \
sea, usually herring, or even comparn-
lively heavy fish from shallow inland
waters, are frequently thus carried over
dry land and astonish the pedestrian by
descending on his umbrella.
