HAVOC CAUSED BY HAILSTORM
Account ef Destruction In England is
1687 Seems Almost Incredible
Horses Felled' at the Plow.
Tbe greatest hailstorm That ever -occurred
In England was that of April
i, 1007, recorded fcy Edmund Halley,
the astronomer. The story seems al
most Incredible, ye-t It is told 4y s
philosopher, the contemporary and
friend, of Isaac Newton, and an ac
curate observer of natural phenom
ena. The uatn body of the storm, he
states, fell upon Lancusblre, la a
Hht line from Ormskirk te Blackburn.
"The breadth ef tbe cloud was

to destroy It. the hailstones burying
themselves In the ground; and the
liow ling-greens, where the earth was
anything soft, were quite defaced, so
as to be rendered unserviceable for A
time. This I bad from an eye
witness.
"The hailstones, some of which
weighed Ave ounces, were of different
forms. Two hailstones were weighed
nt OrniBklrk which came to three
quarters of a i.ound each. As a yonng
woman at Bootle was running for
shelter her hat fell off, and a hailstone
that hit her behind the ear made her
tumble. The stones rebounded, many
t)f them two yards high. At Ince two
horses were knocked down at the
plow, end a' man fell at the same
time."

Ehsxar Kings," "not a few races ap

tbe end of a fixed term, or on the
failure of the king's health and
strength, er simply whenever a great
public calamity, such as drought or
famine had befallen the country."

from their home in the spurs of the

of the Cnsplnn called after them the
Seu of the Khazars played a great
pnrt In history on the European-Asian
borderland. It Is certainly remark
able that a people, which had reached
such a high level of civilization and
culture should have practiced legalized
regicide. But the evidence collected
by Sir James Frazer from a very wide
survey of medieval literature leaves
no doubt on the mntter.
