But
also
of
three
other
discharges,
from
another
far-distant
volcano,
showing
the
same
precise
preference,
if
not
marksmanship,
for
one
small
parish
in
Scotland.
Nor
would
orthodoxy
be
any
better
off
in
thinking
of
exploding
meteorites
and
their
debris:
preciseness
and
recurrence
would
be
just
as
difficult
to
explain.
My
own
notion
is
of
an
island
near
an
oceanic
trade-route:
it
might
receive
debris
from
passing
vessels
seven
times
in
four
years.
Other
concomitants
of
black
rains:
In
Timb's
Year
Book,
1851-270,
there
is
an
account
of
"a
sort
of
rumbling,
as
of
wagons,
heard
for
upward
of
an
hour
without
ceasing,"
July
16,
1850,
Bulwick
Rectory,
Northampton,
England.
On
the
19th,
a
black
rain
fell.
In
Nature,
30-6,
a
correspondent
writes
of
an
intense
darkness
at
Preston,
England,
April
26,
1884:
page
32,
another
correspondent
writes
of
black
rain
at
Crowle,
near
Worcester,
April
26:
that
a
week
later,
or
May
3,
it
had
fallen
again:
another
account
of
black
rain,
upon
the
28th
of
April,
near
Church
Shetton,
so
intense
that
the
following
day
brooks
were
still
dyed
with
it.
According
to
four
accounts
by
correspondents
to
Nature
there
were
earthquakes
in
England
at
this
time.
Or
the
black
rain
of
Canada,
Nov.
9,
1819.
This
time
it
is
orthodoxy
to
attribute
the
black
precipitate
to
smoke
of
forest
fires
south
of
the
Ohio
River--
Zurcher,
Meteors,
p.
238:
That
this
black
rain
was
accompanied
by
"shocks
like
those
of
an
earthquake."
Edinburgh
Philosophical
Journal,
2-381:
That
the
earthquake
had
occurred
at
the
climax
of
intense
darkness
and
the
fall
of
black
rain.
