absence OF complete communication
owing to the wrsckins Of the wire lines
tn collect the data for a full summary
OF the losses.
Florida Is exposed to these destruc-
tive storms owing to the peculiar con-
formation OF the coast at the point
where many OF those which form In the
Caribbean whirl landward. There is no
possible insurance against them. no
means OF protection from their vio-
lence. After the storm of 1926. recon-
struction was undertaken upon a more
substantial basis than had previously
obtained. and the comparative I'M
munity Of the larger areas Of occupa-
ton NAV be due To the higher resist
ance Of the structures. Yet. in all like
lihood. the smaller loss Of this time Is
probablv attributable to the fact that
the storm was not as severe or as pro-
lonced as that OF two years ago.
This visitation does not mount to the
point of disaster such as that Of 1926,
when 1t was necessary for the relief
agencies of the country at large to go
To the aid of the stricken people. Thus
far there has been no indication OF a
need OF help. II. however, upon
fuller disclosure of the losses 1t should

Rain of Fish Reported
From North Ireland
RY r.. y. FREE. I'll. n.

One of the few reasonably authentic
examples of the much-disputed weather
event, rain of fish. is reported from
northern Ireland. After a recent severe
thunderstorm James McNIaster. farm
or living near the city of Belfast found
on the roof of his bungalow a number
of living fish some of them as much as
two inches long
The fish were not actually seen to fall
with the rain, but it Is virtually certain,
Mr.. McMaster reports, that they did so.
No other means Is imaginable by which
they could have reached the bungalow
roof II Is reported also that nearby
vegetation was hlackened as though
scorehed, probably really by black mud
which also fell with the rain.
Prof. Gregg Wilson of Queens Uni
versity in Belfast, who has investigated
the occurrence, Is reported TO have ac-
cepted 1t as real and to have offered
the explanation which weather experts
believe accounts for all such instances
of falls OF Ash or other animals with
rain. This is that the fish. together
with a quantity of black mud or slime
from the bottom were picked up by a
waterspout or other tornado-like storm
from some nearby stream, lake or arm
Of the sea TO be dropped later on Mr..
McMasters farm: much as dust, dried
hay and many other things are often
carried for miles by the tornadoes of
the middlewestern part OF the United
States.
Weather experts have hoped for years
that some scientific man competent to
test this explanation would have the
GOOD luck To be on the ground when one
Of these animal rains occurs, but that
has never vet happened.
