1922 / Manna / Nov. 26, 1887. [E; 181. See: (1887 Nov 26).]


1922 / [magazine clipping] / [Food from the Sky] / JulySci. Amer. [E; 182. “Science Notes.” Scientific American, n.s., 127 (July 1922): 58. “Food from the Skies—Washington has received from Bagdad samples of Turkish manna. This manna falls like dew during the autumn months, lodging on the leaves of oak trees and hardening into the form of grain. It is supposedly the same substance used by the children of Israel in the wilderness, and is a recognized article of commerce in Syria: sheets are spread under the trees in the early morning, and the trees are shaken. Only the oak tree retains the substance until it hardens; such of it as falls elsewhere is lost. It is a good substitute for sugar and honey, and sells for 45 cents a pound.” (Mohammadi Mahmoud, Dini M., & Tavakoli Majid. “Investigatian of Oak Manna of Quercus Infectoria (GAS-E-ALAFI) and Production Mechanism and Utilization.” Iranian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, 19 (no. 4; 2003): 367-387.)]

1922 July / (Manna) / It may be mixed with accounts of gathering of a gummy substance, known as manna, which exudes from the shrub tamarix manniferis. [E; 190. (Harrison, S.G. “Manna and Its Sources.” Kew Bulletin, 5 (no. 3; 1950): 407-417; @ Proquest.)]


1922 July / (Manna) / In the Toronto Daily Mail and Empire, of March 25-1-7, it is said in a dispatch from Washington, D.C., that Oscar S. Heizer, American Consul, at Jerusalem, had reported the fall of a sugar-like substance from the sky, in Asia Minor. / See Nov 21, 1857. [E; 191. (Toronto Daily Mail and Empire, March 25, 1922, p. 1 c. 7.) See: 1857 Nov 21, (II; 2104).]


1922 / The manna idea, I find in Annals of Nat Hist, Dec., 1849, in an account of the botanical productions of Algeria, by Giles Munby, read by him before the British Assoc, Sept 12, 1849, of a lichen that grew in a night like a mushroom, in deserts of Algeria, and so having the suggestion that it had fallen from the sky. [E: 192.1, 192.2. Munby, Giles. “On the botanical productions of the kingdom of Algiers, followed by a short notice of the supposed manna of the Israelites.” Annals and Magazine of Natural History, s. 2 v. 4 (1849): 426-435, at 435. “I shall conclude this paper by noticing a lichen called L. esculentus, and which agrees, at least more nearly than any other substance hitherto discovered, with the description of the Manna on which the Israelites fed during their wanderings in the desert.” “This lichen is found on the sand of the desert, which it covers in some parts, and grows during the night, as do many mushrooms. The French soldiers during an expedition towards the south of Constantine actually subsisted upon it for some days, cooking it in various ways, and even making it into bread. I do not pretend to explain the miraculous portions of the history of the Manna, but it is very probable that if gathered when alive or in a soft state, it would in a very short time ferment if placed in a heap, and from the rapid development of animal life in that warm climate, 'breed worms and stink' in a very few hours. Neither would I attempt to explain the double quantity gathered on the sixth day. The description given by Moses is this: 'Upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as hoar-frost on the ground;' and again, 'it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.' There are a few characters in this account of it which disagree with the substance I present to you, yet the discovery of a substance springing up in the short space of a night on the surface of the sandy desert, and that substance capable of sustaining human life, is, to say the least, a remarkable fact, and one well worthy the examination and researches of botanists.”]

1922 July / Manna / Said in Daniele Bartoli's “Asia that one the barren island of Ormuz, where neither animal nor vegetable life, and scarcely ever rain, a liquid or vapor falls every morning and congeals into sweet grains. / Nature 55-440. [E; 195. Timothy, B. “The Origin of Manna.” Nature, 55 (March 11, 1897): 440. Bartoli, Daniello. Dell'istoria della Compagnia di Gesù l'Asia. Piacenza: Dalla Tipografia del Majno, 1819-1821, v. 5, 4.) “Uccelli poi, nè altro animal terrestre, mai in tutto l'anno non vi si vede: chè non vi troverebbono nè acqua, nè pascolo da mantenersi. Solo sul far dell'aurora vi cade ogni mattina una rugiada, che si congela e granisce, e per lo sapore dolcissimo che ha, pur le dan nome di Manna. Or non perciò che quest'Isola sia cotanto sterile per natura, era disabitata d'uomini, e quale, atteso l'esser suo, ragion vorrebbe che fosse, una solitudine, un diserto: anzi era popolatissima, e avea una sì bella, e sì ricca Città (questa era Ormuz, oggidì in gran parte disolata d'abitatori e di fabriche), che correva proverbio nell'Oriente: Se tutto il mondo fosse un anello, Ormuz ne sarebbe la gemma.”]

Gilbert, an official of the Préfectorial Council, so persecuted, had committed suicide, and that someone else who had received letters accusing his wife had become insane. The author of the letters had stopped sending them by post, and had managed to leave them under doors or at entrances to houses, sometimes addressed to the concierge, with instructions to read before delivery to victims. “On a recent night, the door of the local theatre was placarded with a list of women of well-known families, accused of misconduct of men, who were named. / Seems to me, the point is whether the information were true or not.

New York Herald, April 24, 1922, p. 1 c. 2. "Thousands of persons in towns along the northern coast of New Jersey watched a huge meteor, throwing off lumps of fire and gaseous odors, fall at 9 o'clock last night into the ocean off Sea Side Park, N. J." "As the meteor struck the ocean there was a roar, like an extraordinarily loud peal of thunder, and immediately, it seemed, the air for many miles was filled with an acrid, disagreeable odor which forced persons to put dampened handkerchiefs to their noses. For nearly an hour the odor lingered in the atmosphere." "The descent of the meteor was observed by persons in Brown's Mills, Sea Side Park, Tom's River, Asbury Park and other towns along the Barnegat peninsula." "The meteor was visible for a full minute. It gave off a light that could be seen for at least thirty miles. It appeared to fall with a peculiar zigzag motion and seemed to be shedding large lumps of fire, but no sparks. When it finally struck the sea the explosion, which could be heard for miles, broke several windows in Toms River and Seaside Park. In Lakehurst many buildings quivered as in an earthquake, but the odor of the gases was not noticed there.") ("Meteor Flashes Over Upstate Sky." New York Herald, April 25, 1922, p. 5 c. 2. "In addition to that at Asbury Park one of unusual brillancy and size darted across the sky above Middletown and was visible to observers for five seconds before it disappeared to the south. It is possible the meteor is the same as that seen along the New Jersey coast. Another is reported by Los Angeles." "The [Toms River coast] guard said his attention was first drawn to the meteor by a bluish light in the sky, which resolved into a ball of fire that exploded like a clap of thunder and dived into the sea. A prolonged hissing followed and several minutes later there was a succession of huge waves." "Jersey Coast Meteorite Duplicated on Pacific." New York Tribune, April 25, 1922, p. 2 c. 2.

Hovey, curator of the department of geology at the American Museum of Natural History, said it was a coincidence that two large meteors should have been seen at such widely separated points at approximately the same time.")  "Meteor Falls At Toms River."

A white Constable and four natibes were sent to his house after dark, They had hardly taken their positions when stones fell heavily upon the roof. A little Hottentot girl was sent into the garden to see if she would stimulate the attentions of the stone-thrower. Stones fell vertically around her. Said did fall vertically so as to give no indication of direction whence thrown. The stone-falls ceased, a[nd] loud knocks were heard. A native constable said that he saw a pale-blue flame travel along the edge of the roof. Rappings continuedseemed to be at doors. House isolated except for homes of servants.

He had ordered all members of family and investigators sent by the D. Mail to remain indoors for awhile. They had obeyed, but stones fell while all were so accounted for. While police were on watch a young Hottentot girl went to a well, and a large stone crashed near her. When she returned, very much scared, another stone fell on the corrugated iron roof. Said that stones jangled on the roof though the cordon of police was complete. Cummings again ordered all persons insidem and, suspecting the Hottentot girl, tied her wrists together. When he had finished so tying her, stones crashed upon the roof. Some letters were published. Several suggested idea that human beings had power to make selves invisible. One writer said, next time rap on door hurl boiling water out. Somebody would the next day be found to be burned. This night loud knock had been heard on back door.

Serviss on Mountain Lights.” Washington Times, October 28, 1922,  p. 20 c. 7-8.The twilight had hardly faded before our chauffeur exclaimed: 'There they are, look!'” “After all the excited stories that we had heard about them, and in view of the air of mystery so long thrown over the whole subject, the sudden apeparance of the lights, truly was a little startling. Some of them were as bright as distant electrlc lamps, and they really did seem to shoot upward. But this effect was confined to naked eye views.” “When watched with the glass [binoculars], most of the fainter ones were seen to be motionless lights, evidently emanating from villages. Long rows of them appeared and disappeared as the mists and reflections over the intervening mountains and deep wooded valleys made them shift and fluctuate. The brighter ones we concluded were the lights of automobiles. One could follow the inflections of the invisible roads by the motions, brightenings, and fadings, and appearances and disappearances of these lights.” “Later, on passing through Washington, I learned that representatives of the Geologic Survey had with similar means, arrived at substantially the same conclusion about the nature of the lights. But they had added locomotive headlights as one of the sources of illumination, for there is, it seems, a railroad running through the country beyond Brown mountain.”]
