Toyage Of Hte Vega-Nordenskjold
1t may appear to many that 1t is below
the dignity of science to concern ones self
with so trifling an affair as the fall of small
quantity of dust. But this is by no means
the case. For estimate the quantity of the
dust that was found on the ice north of
Spitzbergen at from OIL to milligramme
per square meter, and probably the whole
fall of dust for the year far exceeded the
latter figure. But millegramme on every
square meter of the surface of the earth
amounts for the whole globe to SOC, 000, 900
kilogrammes (say, half a million tons y
such a mass collected year by year during
the geological ages, of a duration probably
incomprehensible by us, forms too important
a factor to be neglected, when the funda-
mental facts of the geological history of our
planet are enumerated. A continuation OF
these Investigations will perhaps show that
our globe has gradually increased from a
small beginning to the dimensions it now
possesses; that a considerable quantity oil
the constituents of our sedimentary strata,
especially of those that have been deposited
In the open sea far from land, are of cosmic
origin; and will throw an unexpected light
on the origin of the fire-hearths of the vol.

the remarkable resemblance which unmis.
takably exist between the plutonic rocks

Proposed Saving Of Time In Atlantic TRANSIT


The time required for the TRANSMISSION Of
mails from Sew York to London is given
as follows: New York Pestoffice to Sandy
Hook, 3h. 3Om.; Sandy Hook TO Queenstown
(best average time 1881, 3d., 18Th. 45m.; de.
lay OF mails ut Queenstown, 1881, Oh. 30m.;
Queenstown to London, 22h. Total, 3D.,
ooh. 45m.
1t Is proposed to betterthis time by means
Of fast steamers plying between the eastern
extremity Of Long Island and the new port
OF Milford Haven, In Wales. The time by
the new route is estimated As follows: New
York to Fort Pond bay, via Long Island
railroad clio miles), Oh. SON.; transfer At
Fort Pond bay, 1h. Son.: Fort Pond bay to
Milford Haven (southerly and lowest route
1850 miles ut 10 miles an hour, Sd. 16h;
transfer at Milford Haven, III. 30m.; Mil
ford Haven to London (s22 miles), sn. To-
tai, ID, 5h. 30m.
A speed Of 20 miles an hour on the ocean,
which Mr.. Pearce, the English ship builder,
offers to guarantee TO vessels Of bis con-
struction, would reduce the time to 3d., 18Th.
som. For seven years the construction Of
docks at Milford Haven has been going on,
and they are now nearly ready to receive
the largest steamships. They were designed
BY Sir E. j. Reed, late Chief Constructor Of

A BITTER BIT.
sad Results Of Betting on Sure Thing.
Salt Lake Tribune.

Sat Lake TRIBUNE
"A few days ago q waggish Salt Laker,
who was anxious To test how much conf
dence d certain friend had In him, took q
standard dollar, and coating 1t with quick
silver passed 1t at the others store. In less
than half an hour the dollar, whose peculi-
ar appearance had aroused distrust, was
brought back with:
"Here, Billy, you have given me bogus
dollar, and came In to get 1t redeemed"
at isn't bogus dollar at all; It's as
good as any money ever coined In America"
replied the wag. "Can't you believe me?

The other said that under ordinary circum-

dollar turned over to an assayer who pro-

oysters and We'll 90 down to the store and

The winner, whose conscience began to

to find few hours later that 1t was counter.

loser insisted that 1t was genuine and added
significantly: "If you have any doubts as

The smart Aleck wandered off blasphem

he is ahead on his trick.

French Cooks i'm New York.

A correspondent says: Whenever family
acquires large fortune it considers itself
justified In engaging chef, whose salary in
private houses is from 81 900 to 5000, and
from $4,000 to $4,000 at clubs, restaurants,
and hotels. A fine French cook, so called
many of the French cooks are really Swiss
and Italian-can command better wages than
a journalist or literary man, and In q certain
way be exercises much more personal and
social influence. he is great power, a thor
ough autocrat in bis immediate sphere, and
those who introduce him into their houses
must treat him with supreme respect and
delicacy, lest he abandon them, as he would
put 1t, to desolation and Indigestion forever.
He resents the slightest suggestion as imper-
Thence, and refuses In most cases to permit
even the head of the household to cross the
confines Of his culinary dominions.

How to Test Flour.

The following rules to test good -four are
given by an old dealer: First, look at It's
color. II II Is white, with slightly yellow
or straw-colored tint, it Is good sign. If 1t
Is very white, with blush cast or with small
black specks in 1t, the -four is not good. Sec
ond, examine its adhesiyeness. Wet and
knead little between the fingers; If 1t works
dry and elastic, 1t Is good; If 1t works soft
and sticky, it is poor. Flour made from
spring wheat is often sticky. Third, throw
little lump of dry -four against d dry,
smooth, perpendicular surface; II Ii adheres
In lump, the -four has life In il; If it falls
like powder, Il il bad. Fourth, squeeze some
or the -four Ia your hand; II 1t retains the
shape given by the pressure, that, too, Is =
good sign. II Ii safe TO buy flour that will
stand Nil these tests, and they are simple.

A BACKSLIDER.
An Ex-Conviet's Sudden Lapse from Grace

Sg. Francisco Chronicle, February 10Th.
John Williams, recently discharged con-
wet, was travelling merrily along the water
front yesterday afternoon, when he was
overhauled by Detective w. s. Jones.
'sGood morning, Johnny" said the officer.
"Halloa, Billy" returned the thief. "Gone
into business yet?" was jones' next query.

The Peion Dog.
Tmas Siltinqs.


The Mexicans call him pelon, the Ameri.
cans refer TO him as the no-hair dog, while
the stranger from the North who sees him
for the first time calls him q cast-ircn dog
for that Is what he looks like at first glance.
Although not particularly intelligent the no
hair dog Is susceptible of high polish, for bis
hairless hide shines I'm the sun as IL 1t had
been recently touched up with stove polish.
His body Is about the size and somewhat OF
the shape Of watermelon--that Is, one OF
those small watermelons that are about the
size Of peion dog. He differs, however,
from the melon In that his tail Is adorned
with q tuft of blonde hair, which Is never
the case with the watermelon. He wears q
tuft Of hair--another tuft, OF course, not the
same one at all--on his head, which gives
him very striking appearance. The pelon
dog Is found In Austin, San Antonio and In
tamales, the latter being Mexican dish, the
ingredients Of which are as uncertain Is
those Of hash.

The Erie Railway extension from Brad
ford to Johnsonbury, Pa, crosses the deep
valley of the Kinzua Creek about thirteen
miles from Bradford. Here the company
are building bridge which, when compiet-
ed, will be the highest railroad bridge in the
world. The bridge will be somewhat over
1900 feet long, and will consist of twenty
three spans of sixty feet each, resting on
piers of stone aud iron. The greatest depth
Of the valley at the point of crossing is 300
feet. The piers will be forty feet long and
10 feet wide at the base, tapering to width
Of twelve feet at the top. The iron work
will weigh $500 tons, and the masonry will
measure 1900 cubic yards. II is expected
that the work will be completed by June, at
cost not far from 100000.
1t is claimed that this is the highest bridge
in the world resting on piers. The Kentucky
River bridge is 276 feet high, the Great Pc
ruvian Railway bridge Is 235 feet, the Port
age bridge, on the Erie's main line, is 234
feet, and the Niagara suspension bridge is
2I5 feet.

A Kind of Man to Marry.

Let us look at another case. A young
man, receiving small salary, determines to
put aside each week certain sum as foun-
dation for the pleasant home he sometime
hopes to have. IL forces him to make many
sacrifices; he eschews jewelry and canes,
soda water and cigars, and carries an upper
fumed handkerchief. Wien in this semi
rustic plight, and wearing suit {perfectly
preserged) two seasons old, he calls on a
maiden whose company he desires, she looks
with scorn at the dowdy dress, and is sud-
denly otherwise engaged. Discouraging as
this may be, he plods on in the chosen path,
and finally lays his heart before quiet
maiden who has read:
