And In Volcanic Regions Gray Han 70
Relatively Common
In certain parts Of Spain during last
winter red and black snow fell. The
phenomenon is explained as being due
to the presence In the atmosphere In
unusual quantities Of certain mineral
salts. History mentions a day when
"the heavens rained blood" In =

The presence Of n micro-organism
seems always to accompany red rain.
In volcanic regions gray hall IL rela-
lively common. In Sicily this has been
observed very often, because the high
er layers Of the atmosphere are oiled
with ashes from Mount Etna. During
the past century there have been black
rains In England twice. and on both oc-
casions the color was due to the pres
euce Uf micro organisms.
A curious fall Of red snow Is observed
sometimes In the Alps in spring. but

and extended over the white snow

5. That 250-pound hog can be made

A Cspfui Of Wind.

The origin Of the phrase "a cupfui
of wind" can be traced to a Morse
king, Eric W.. who died In 907 A. d.
He was credited with the useful power
Of directing the wind to blow where
he wished by the simple method Of
turning his cap to that point OF the
compass. His powers were much ap-
preciated and trusted and resulted In
his being known as WINDY cap"
There Is nc. evidence az to whether he
could regulate the force OF the wind
as well as the direction. Presumably
be could, or his faithful believers
would not have been 80 many. A bag
ful Of wind Is another common ex.
