"There is only one explan- ation," he said. "High winds, par- ticulary whirlwinds, pick up water, fishes and all, and carry them In- land from seas or upward out of ponds. When the velocity of the air and clouds becomes relatively lowered down come the fishes." If a tornado will snatch aloft a 50-pound pig and whirl it a mile, Dr. Gudger said to clinch the point, 4 it will do a lot more for little fish, New York's day for fishing in the sky was in 1842, and {it is described by James E. DeKay fn his authori- tative "Natural History of New York." It was a toad fish shower. But mud showers are something else again. Dr. Chester A. Recds, curator of geology at the museum, blames Canada's black spattering on a great dust storm that rose in the West. Wind carried it. Rain coagulated around the dust parti- cles. That brought the muddy baths. , "France even gets dust storms that start from the Sahara." said.

NEW GOLD RUSH (By The Canadian Press) Sydney, N.S.W., May 15 Ans tralia's unemployed are flocking to the gold fields. More than 2,000 men are now engaged in the search for gold in New South Wales as a result of the prevailing unemployment in cities. There have been miner gold ing districts, but so far few of the prospectors have had much succens, The miners are subsidized to the extent of one pound a week for lect the dole. The. men find that living in the gold fields is cheaper than in the cities, and in many cases they have taken their families with them and homes of canvas and bark, At many of the camps a grain or 80 of gold is the sole reward for a week of back-breaking work, that grain is enough to keep the prospector at his self-imposed task, Experts agree that much gold in New South Wales a has been won from the state--per- fore that more men are lured each week to likely fields.

Is it any wonder there- | ically all | grades of society are represented | cupied sound positions that gave them every reason to regard the life ahead of them as an easy, settl- ed proposition, There are lawyers, accountants, ¢lerks and even doc- tors. Of course, most of them are "new chums," and that might ac- count for the fact that to date very little gold has been found. It takes an experienced miner, it 1s said, to find gold in acres that have already been prospected. Still," there is al- ways the possibility that some day even the beginner will strike it rich. The most favored area is the vast stretch of country bodnded by the' towns of Bathurst, Molong, Yeo- vil, Wellington, Gulgong, Mudgee, Capartree. This area included may famous fields. One prospector at El Dorado was very disgusted. 'I al- ways thought El Dorado was a very rich place," he said. "The chap who named this must have been think- ing of rabbits. There are plenty of fabbits here, and that is about all 'we can find. And they don't take any looking for." One man arrived at his claim two months ago in a sedan car. He was formerly the manager of a big city business, which has been compelled to close its doors. He is not getting enough gold to pay for his "truck- er," and when he goes to the near- est town for his "dole'" he walks, as he has not enough money to pay the gagoline his car would use on the journey, So mud or fish may drop nearly | anywhere--and thie explanation on | | Great Missionary Answers Last Call Parig, May 15.-- The Lazarist {fathers here have just learned of the death of Mgr.

URGES SHORTER | Backs Toronto School Board London, May 15.--Giving full support to the recent move of the Toronto Board of Education against the early closing of col- legiate Institutes and in favor of the shortening of the teachers' holidays, the collegiate committee will 'today ask the Board of Education to communicate with tlie Toronto Board to ascertain the pressure to be brought to bear on the department of education to bring about the change. The matter came before the meeting of the collegiate yester- day when the committee .was nik- ed to approve the recommendation of the principals that the collegiate close on June 12. "Schools are closing altogether too early," declared Trustee Car- ruthers. "You all have read what the Toronto Board of Education is going to do. I am absolutely in favor of everything the Toronto trustees said. Teaching days are aries are getting higher and high- er. Now they want to close the schools 18 days before the end of June. We should draw the mas. ter to the attention of the govern- ment." E. A. Miller, senior principal of the collegiates, stated that the closing date was purely a 4epart- mental matter. He explained thut unless the department gets exam- ination results out sarly 1aany com- plaints are received from parents. Seven or eight years ago the de- partment tried to put all the ex- aminations into the month of July, but parents who wished to get their children away to summer resorts, objected so strenuous!y that the department had to change, Mr, Mil- ler said. He claimed that the Lon- don Board by taking action alone would be simply getting notoriety for itself. "The Toronto Board is going to the department with the matter. , Why not let us join them," Trustee Carruthers replied.
