IN indian Dust Storm.

In his clever account of BanEu,
district in the Punjaub, Thotburn des-
cribes q dust storm on the great plain
of Marwat, a phenomena Of such i'm
posing force and grandeur as TO be
well deserving of the important posi-
ton lately accorded it, by American
scholars, among the great geological
agents
Marwat, the bed Of an ancient lake,
is now vast treeless plain of undulat-
ing, sandy down, bordered by region
OF soft loamy clay, deeply furrowed by
watercourses, and overlaid by layer
Of gravel and smooth, rounded stones,
called 'heIi stones by the people, be-
pearance, the effect, probably, OF natu-
raj sand blast attrition. Seen in the
autumn, or in n year of drought, it
appears a bleak, howling wilderness,
lit home tor the whistling, heat laden
dus. storms that often sweep across its
surface in the hot months but in late
spring, after a few timely showers, it
presents an interminable sea of wheat,
tile vivid green of which turn Lere and
there to streaks and patches Of dark
shaded grain.
the approach of dust storm over
this place in dry season, and wit
messed from one of its boundary hills,
is a grand and impressive sight At
first but speck on the distant hori-
zon, it rapidly elongates until it
stretches from east to west, a mighty
threatening wall Thousand feet high
and thirty miles in length. Nearer
ano nearer it comes, phantom-lilZe, its
rushing noise being inaudib'e to the
spectator. Now one wing is pushed
forward, now another, nearer still and
now the birds-kitcs, vultures, and a
stray eagle or twO-circlin2 its front
are.visible, and one by one the villages
at the foot of the hill are envcloped
and hidden from the eye; a few min
utes more and the summit Of Shellh-
budin, till then bathed in sunshine and
, sleeping in the sultry stiffness OF the
June morning, is shrouded in yellow,
scudding clouds Vanished is the
grandeur OF the scene in a moment
and l.ought remains but the sitting,
begriining dust, flying and eddying
about in all directions, penetrating
every where. Outside nothing can be
seen but a darkness which can be felt,
and nothing is audible but the whist
ling of the wind and the tapping Of
the bungalow chicks bat inside the
lamps are lighted. and quarter of an
hour is idly passed, until the storm,
which generally expcnds its fury on
the hillsides, subsidies or passes on.
