Of
course
it
is
our
acceptance
that
these
masses
not
only
accompanied
tornadoes,
but
were
brought
down
to
this
earth
by
tornadoes.
Flammarion,
The
Atmosphere,
p.
34:
Block
of
ice,
weighing
four
and
a
half
pounds
that
fell
at
Cazorta,
Spain,
June
15,
1829;
block
of
ice,
weighing
eleven
pounds,
at
Cette,
France,
October,
1844;
mass
of
ice
three
feet
long,
three
feet
wide,
and
more
than
two
feet
thick,
that
fell,
in
a
storm,
in
Hungary,
May
8,
1802.
Scientific
American,
47-119:
That,
according
to
the
Salina
Journal,
a
mass
of
ice
weighing
about
80
pounds
had
fallen
from
the
sky,
near
Salina,
Kansas,
August,
1882.
We
are
told
that
Mr.
W.J.
Hagler,
the
North
Santa
Fe
merchant
became
possessor
of
it,
and
packed
it
in
sawdust
in
his
store.
London
Times,
April
7,
1860:
That,
upon
the
16th
of
March,
1860,
in
a
snowstorm,
in
Upper
Wasdale,
blocks
of
ice,
so
large
that
at
a
distance
they
looked
like
a
flock
of
sheep,
had
fallen.
Rept.
Brit.
Assoc.,
1851-32:
That
a
mass
of
ice
about
a
cubic
yard
in
size
had
fallen
at
Candeish,
India,
1828.
Against
these
data,
though,
so
far
as
I
know,
so
many
of
them
have
never
been
assembled
together
before,
there
is
a
silence
upon
the
part
of
scientific
men
that
is
unusual.
Our
Super-Sargasso
Sea
may
not
be
an
unavoidable
conclusion,
but
arrival
upon
this
earth
of
ice
from
external
regions
does
seem
to
be--except
that
there
must
be,
be
it
ever
so
faint,
a
merger.
It
is
in
the
notion
that
these
masses
of
ice
are
only
congealed
hailstones.
We
have
data
against
this
notion,
as
applied
to
all
our
instances,
but
the
explanation
has
been
offered,
and,
it
seems
to
me,
may
apply
in
some
instances.
In
the
Bull.
Soc.
Astro.
de
France,
20-245,
it
is
said
of
blocks
of
ice
the
size
of
decanters
that
had
fallen
at
Tunis
that
they
were
only
masses
of
congealed
hailstones.
