While showers of tiny frogs and even fishes are not unknown, how many people are aware that at variâ€" ous times the old country has experiâ€" enced such peculiarities as "black rain," "blood rain," and "milk rain?" These are caused by such impurities as soot, plantâ€"pollen, finelyâ€"divided sulâ€" phur, and sand. In 1903 there was a downfall of "blood rain" in England, and this, on examination, was shown to have been impregnated with minerâ€" al substances carried by airâ€"drifts from the Sahara. The fine dust discharged in volcanic eruptions has been known to remain in suspension in the air for several Such phenomena as "frog showers" and "fish showers" are due to strong ascending air currants, such as local whirlwinds, which carry those light objects away from the ground and transport them through the atmosâ€" phere until the force of gravity brings them to earth.

The family name of O‘Dowd and its variations are but Anglicized developâ€" ments of the Irish clan name of "O‘Dudhda," and such names as Hethâ€" erington, De ‘eauharnais or Van Rensâ€" selaer "have nothing on it" from the viewpoint either of antiquity or imâ€" portance in the dim ages of the past. At best the use of these others as hereditary family names can go back to but about the eleventh century. Five hundred years before this the chieftain of the Clan O‘Dowd stood high in the councils of the Irish kings and highâ€"kings. It was about the year 650 A.D. that the organization of the clan took place under the leadership of the chieftain "Dubhda," whose given name had a meaning not dissimilar to "Donald." That is, it meant "dark complexioned." The O‘Dowds were one of the numâ€" erous clans which were in the first place septs or divisions of the still more ancient clan of the O‘Connors, which together with the O‘Neills furâ€" nished a very large number of the sucâ€" cession of "Highâ€"Kings" who ruled the ancient Irish civilization from about 1700 B.C. until it finally went to pleces under the terrific and persistent onâ€" slaughts of the Angloâ€"Normans. id AOT BE WITHOUT BABT‘S OWN TABLETS ;' The ‘Block.

LAMB Variationsâ€"Lambden, Lamson, Lampâ€" How did such a family name as Lamb come into being? Through the resemblance of a man to & sheep? Possibly, in some inâ€" stances. Through the inn or shop sign, as "At the Sign of the Lamb?" Yes, in a great number of instances. But for by far the most part the family names in this group were formâ€" ed with no idea of any zoological conâ€" nection, but were based in regular fashion upon a given name, and in the fArst cases were significant of parentâ€" age. kyn, Lambert, Lambertson. Racial Originâ€"English. Sourceâ€"A given name. Lambert was this name. It was the name borne by the patron saint of Liege, and was brought into England from Flaf®@ers, for all through the Middle Ages trade and communication between these countries was close. Though toâ€"day Lambert is more freâ€" quently met with as & family name than a given name, and in many inâ€" stances it is given to children toâ€"day because it is a surname borne by some branch of the family, it is truly a given name. It is Teutonic, but not of the preâ€"Christian ere, for its meanâ€" ing is "lambâ€"bright" or "fair lamb," clearly not the type of name to be chosen by the warâ€"loving pagan Touâ€" Those Cheery Chairmen. human experience for Liver, Bowels 646 in Closed Garage. During the approaching winter quite a good many people will be poisored to death by exhaust from their own autoâ€" mobiles.© They will run the engines in the garage, with door and windows closed, and before they know it, will be overcome by the deadly carbon monoxide. If accidents cf this kind are to be avoided motorists should see that the garage is well vertilated before perâ€" mitting an engine to run for any length of time. This advice is urgently offered by the Vnited States Public Health Service, which has been making a special study of the subject, with experiments on human beings, dogs and other animals. To make the tests as practical as posâ€" sible, a building about the size of an average private garage was erectedâ€"â€" 10 by 10 by 20 feetâ€"and the engine of a small car was set going inside of it. It was found that the engine disâ€" charged approximately twentyâ€"five cubic feet of exhaust gas per minute, and that 6 per cent. of it was carbon monoxide. The "hemoglobin," or red coloring matter of the blood, contains iron, and owes to that metal its power to take up oxygen from the air breathed into the lungs. There is enough hemogloâ€" bin in the body of an average man to hold thirteen pints of oxygen. â€" But every molecule of carbon monoxide taken into the lungs and absorbed by the blood replaces a molecule of oxyâ€" gen. Hemoglobin attracts carbon monâ€" oxide 300 times as strongly as it does oxygen. Thus the poison gas, when breathed, rapidly crowds the oxygen out of the blood, and in a remarkably short time the victim is overcome. Experiments made by the U.S. Pubâ€" lic Health Service showed that three parts of the gas in 10,000 of air proâ€" duced no perceptible effect, Six parts caused discomfort,. Nine parts inâ€" duced headache and nausea Fifteen parts or more meant danger of death. If a car, while "warming up," should give off only one cublc foot of carbon monoxide in a closed room of the size above mentioned," the atmosphere would become dangerous to life in three minutes. When a person is overcome by carâ€" bon monoxide, don‘t send for a pulâ€" motor. Get him into the open air. Fresh air and lots of it is what he needs. If he is not too far gone the oxygen he takes into his lungs will drive out the poison gas in an hour or two. Mother! Move Child‘s Bo Child‘s Bowels With California Fig Syrup Hurry mother!

We all know how much chemistry has had to do with the deâ€" velopment of steels, but at that period, when the shrewd Scotchman was young, possibilities in that direction had not begun to be realized. In Europe there was introduced the soâ€"called "Thomas basic process," which made possible the use of highâ€" phosphorus iron. Previously iron that contained much phosphorus was not available for making steel because the product was brittle. The process in question overcame the difficulty. Carnegie, through his chemist, got news of it, and he lost no time in securing exclusive rights to its use in the United States. At that time deposits of the Lake Superior region had not been discovâ€" ered and the States was getting most of its tron ores from Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Carnegio saw that the new process would make available the iron beds of the Appalachians, where the ores are high in phosphorus, and he secured options on all the best of them. Soon afterwards he sold these options at a clear profit of $1,000,000. It was simply a matter of being one jump ahead of everybody else, and Carnegle was ablo to accomplish this through his wisdom in hiring m chemist. 4 years.

For people who have a tenâ€" deny towards anaemia, or bloodlessâ€" ness, winter is a trying season.
