nln AaIIstones In Pyreneea

The attainable size of hailstones has
been brought to notice by a terrific
storm witnessed on August 6, by some
campers at a height Of 4,4O0 feet in
the Pyrenees. In the second Of two
storms about noon the land was sud
denly bombarded with hailstones as
large as lawn tennis balls, the roar
was deafening; sheep and cattle were
killed, and the ground was deeply
pitted and then covered with a winter
sheet OF white.
Some stones weighed as much as
seven ounces. Stones Of a storm in
the Orkneys were estimated to weigh
eight ounces in October, 1890, and
there is a tradition Of a fall in the
Pyrenees in 1888 Of stones weighing
nine ounces.
