The sac- rifice of strangers or those worshiping foreign gods to bring rain is not unknown. It is told that Busiris, tyrant of Egypt, when informed by the soothsayer Thrasylius in time of drought that the spell which caused it could be broken by the sacrifice of a stranger to Jupiter, learning that Thrasylius was a stranger, or foreigner, caused him to be sacrificed first. Ovid in alluding to the story says that showers of rain followed.*^ Pouring water upon stones or an altar to effect a chang...e in the weather is a not unusual way of proceeding. Fishermen in the Hebrides walked sunwise round Fladda'« chapel and poured water on the bluish stone upon its altar to change the wind. Tradition says a stone used to be kept in the temple of Mars just outside the gates of the city of Rome, and when- ever there was a drought the stone was carried by the pontiffs into the city and the rain came to them. Grimm quotes a clergyman's description of the way in which he saw some peasants shaping the weather by eating, drink- ing, and dancing round three stones to rustic music.
