ARE DRAWN UP WITH WATER
Simple Explanation of Showers Of Fish
Which Are Reported as Occasion
ally Occurring. t&.,

Showers of fishes occasionally fall in
different parts Of the world, exciting
great ACCOMPLISHMENT. Instances of this
kind have occurred in England. On
one occasion a shower of small three
apined sticklebacks fell near Merthyr-
~ydvii, in Wales, sprinkling the ground
and hOusetOps over large area. II

Of the brackish ponds near the sea, in
which this species of fish abounds, they
must have been conveyed through the
air a distance of almost thirty miles
Torrens, in the Isle of Null, in which
behring's were found strewed on a hill
500 yards from the sea and 100 feet
above it. Such 1ownfalis are more
common in tropical countries. In
India shower of fishes varying from
q pound and haIf to three pounds IN
weight has been reported. Sometimes
the fishes are living, more frequently
they are dead. and sometimes dry or
purifying. They are always of kinds

the neighbOrhoOd. The occurrence Of
the phenomenon is readily explained
by the partial vacuum and strong up
draught produced in the center of a
tornado. Such whirling column, If
passing over the surface of lake Or
river Or Of the sea-, may suck up Il con-
siderable quantity of the water along
with any living creatures that may be
in IT, This may be carried for a CON
siderable distance and is discharged
as watersp6ut or cloudburst when
the rotafi0nal energy of the whirl is
expended.

MIND HYPN0TizED BY SIGNS
one Reason Why City Man Fails to
I Famiiarize Himself With the
Towns Landmarks.

"Dp you know why it is so hard to
keep landmarks in your head in the
city these days?" asked the old
timer.
ut is something that has bothered
me a great deal. can remember that
up to ten or twenty years ago I never
had any trouble remembering that on
such and such corner was three
story building with q wabbly tin
cOrnice. On another corner was a
yellow warehouse, etc. ,e .
But Il fellow doesn't remember
these things any more unless he makes
it. duty. I mean that the mind is
no longer impressed photographically
with the appearance Of buildings-or
vacant lots. .'~'
"rhe reason is the advertising signs
that assault the eye wherever one
looks. The letters of the alphabet are
so familiar to the eye that when we
see a sign the eye at once begins trac-
ing the letters. This doesn't mean
that we read all these signs. Our eye
is just unconsciously attracted to the
familiar type--and this type is about
all it, sees on building or a vacant
lot. h ~
81. don't referf only to sign boards.
The merchants nowadays. particularly
the smaller mer chants. fill their win
dows with signs of all descriptions.
The names of the stores are lettered
all across buildings. The result is
we remember neither building nor
sign"

Chopped Dollars,

A "chop," in China, Is a trademark.
It represents incidentally a guarantee
of value, which may be greater or less
in proportion to the commercial stand
ing of the firm whose chop it is. The
silver dollar in that country is chopped
by each firm or money-shop through
whose hands 1t passes. A clean. I'M
chopped dollar is looked upon askance.
