DESERT SAND IN RAIN
EXAMINATION AT NELSON Press Association NELSON, Wednesday. A sample of rain water collected in the neighbourhood of Rotokohu, near the West Coast, during the westerly storm on Monday morning was submitted to the Cawthron institute to-day. After a microscopic examination of the suspended material which was responsible for the reddish brown colour of the water, it was found to consist of minute particles of dust and sand, the rounded form of which indicated a desert area rather than a volcano as the probable place of origin.
