Nv last say in the Nilmingtonian CON
Guided with all idea that the quails which
descended for the noulishment Of the chill
drcn of Israel had been raincd alive, two Gu
bits; upwards Of three feet, il height from
the ground. On a retrospective view of the
subject, it appears most reasonable that they
were not in state Of animation at the time
of their descent: consequently required no
sustenancc from the ground, 10 suppose
otherwise would be to suppose them TO have
scattered far and wide, which is rather an
infringement upon the space witch we
must necessarily allot for tie district upon
which the mama, likewise had fallen. Let
US suppose that the encampment in and a
bout which the quails were distributed, a
mounted to fifteen hundred acres; outside
of which may be considered the mama
ground: now, as every one gathered an omcr
per day, let us suppose that off every square
perch of ground an omer was gathered: the
soil necessary to contain this mama amounts
to about one million of perchts, or 6250 a
crcs Of land, so that rali drawn from the
centre of said encampment to the boundary
line would he sufficient journey to SO and
return in &C space of half day with then
loads. An omer is reckoned about six pnts
Ten omers and about six-tenths is bushcl
consequently, the amount daily gathered was
"a, ,358 bushels.
