Something
that
fell
with
dust
said
to
have
been
meteoric,
March
9,
10,
11,
1872:
described
in
the
Chemical
News,
25-300,
as
a
"peculiar
substance,"
consisted
of
red
iron
ocher,
carbonate
of
lime,
and
organic
matter.
Orange-red
hail,
March
14,
1873,
in
Tuscany.
(Notes
and
Queries
9-5-16.)
Rain
of
lavender-colored
substance,
at
Oudon,
France,
Dec.
19,
1903.
(Bull.
Soc.
Met.
de
France,
1904-124.)
La
Nature,
1885-2-351:
That,
according
to
Prof.
Schwedoff,
there
fell,
in
Russia,
June
14,
1880,
red
hailstones,
also
blue
hailstones,
also
gray
hailstones.
Nature,
34-123:
A
correspondent
writes
that
he
had
been
told
by
a
resident
of
a
small
town
in
Venezuela,
that
there,
April
17,
1886,
had
fallen
hailstones,
some
red,
some
blue,
some
whitish:
informant
said
to
have
been
one
unlikely
ever
to
have
heard
of
the
Russian
phenomenon;
described
as
an
"honest,
plain
countryman."
Nature,
July
5,
1877,
quotes
a
Roman
correspondent
to
the
London
Times
who
sent
a
translation
from
an
Italian
newspaper:
that
a
red
rain
had
fallen
in
Italy,
June
23,
1877,
containing
"microscopically
small
particles
of
sand."
Or,
according
to
our
acceptance,
any
other
story
would
have
been
an
evil
thing,
in
the
sociologic
sense,
in
Italy,
in
1877.
But
the
English
correspondent,
from
a
land
where
terrifying
red
rains
are
uncommon,
does
not
feel
this
necessity.
He
writes:
"I
am
by
no
means
satisfied
that
the
rain
was
of
sand
and
water."
His
observations
are
that
drops
of
this
rain
left
stains
"such
as
sandy
water
could
not
leave."
He
notes
that
when
the
water
evaporated,
no
sand
was
left
behind.
