Cosnic~ Dusf.

Prof. Nordenskiold appears TO have
found In the middle Of Greenland noth~
ing but ice, worms and cosnaic dust. The
ice was to have been expected. The
worms were somewhat of a surprise, no
doubt. But the cosmic dust is, in the
language of the immortal SwiVeller,
IAN unInitigated staggerer. This mys-
teriOus matter was found, so we are told,
in combination with common mundane
dust, and the Professor, who viii have his
Joke, named the compound kryokonite.
He supposes that the common dust blew
over the ice from some part of the earth
where dust is possible; but the cosmical
dust is said to be metallic, and presum-
ably is easily distinguishable from the
matter with which it is mixed.
A quantity of it has been brought
back for analysis by the Professor, but
while awaiting the verdict OF Science
upon its nature the world would like to,
have Prof. Nordenskjold's theory as to
how it got to Greenland. Cosmical dust
we suppose means dust of the universe;
dust derived from all the other planets
in our system, and perchance from stray
comets and asteroids and things. 1t is
somewhat unfortunate that Science
should not yet have fully made up it's
mind as to the nature of the vehicle
which fills the inter-planetary spaces,
because, in the absence of anything
more precise than working hypothe-
sis,'' it may be difficult to make it at all
clear how the cosmicaI dust got
there Also, it is regretted that
Science has not as yet for
mulated any definite teachings as to
the constituent elements of any of the
other planets in the cosmos. Spectrum
analysis has rendered many specula-
tions on this subject possible, but mas
much as the spectrum proves the exist
ence of much which it cannot reveal
perceptiblY, it cannot be said that it has
brought US much nearer solution OF ,
the problems to which it is applied.
And because our knowledge of the eXter-
nal universe is thus far so fragmentary
and indiscriminate, it is difficult to see
how it can be possible for Science to
clear up the questions now addressed
to it.
Before we can say whether what
the interior of Greenland really
is ''cosmic dust, it is necessary to
know what ''cosmic DUST is
OF course it is not enough to demon
strate that this dust is unlike any found
before upon this earth. The obvious
answer to such an assertion would be
that the whole surface of this earth has
not been explored, and notably that the
interior of Greenland has never before
been examined. Should it be found
that the alleged ''cosmic DUST CORES
ponds in its structure to the matter OF
meteorites, the presumption that it
came from inter-planetary space would
be strengthened, but no demonstration
would be made. The difficulty is that
Science has no presidents to guide it in
an inquiry of this kind, and however
hard it may be to believe that Green
lands icy mountains are the receptacles
of common dust, the fact that com
mon dust forms at least part of
Prof. Nordenskjold's 'kryokonite''
proves that it can make its way over
those fields of snow and ice.-M 7.

Perforated Paper.

In any small Stationery store or gro
Gerry the eye is attracted by an edge of
colored paper hanging from each shelf.
The shelf paper, as it is called, has seal
lOped edges, and is perforated in prettily
arranged designs, making a lace-like
appearance,

cutting machine, and the cost came to
about one dollar and fifty cents per
gross. By and by better machinery was
used, and the price fell TO forty cents
per gross, and then came in with labor
saving machinery and further reduced
it to twenty cents. The paper used
when the industry began to spread out
was of good quality, and was called

kind made of wood pulp, and unless
they can get some cheaper material
that kind Of paper will never be less in

through a stamping machine, which
stamps out the design. The dies used
in stamping are very costly, and the

SWALLOWED By THE SEA.
Four Missing Vessels with their Crews
Whose Fate VIII Probably Not be Known

EOur Missing Vessels with their Crews
Whose Fate win Probably Not be Known
Until the Sea Gives Up Its Dead.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. Il.
-Four merchant vessels which set sail al
different periods since the 9th of last July
with large cargoes and crews of trusty men
have never been heard from, and are given
up for lost. Altogether they had on board
forty seamen, who are supposed to have
gone to the bottom of the depths. The
financial loss, should the four crafts never
appear, will be at least $135, 1000. One OF
the Inflated vessels is the new Schooner
Joseph Hilton, owned in this city to large
extent, principally by John Barry, of No.
So Fairmount aven61e, and J. McCrackens
of Camden, n. J. She was manned by
Captain o. II. P. Rogers and a crew Of
seven men, and set sail from Darien, Ga.
whence she sailed on September for New
burypOrt, Mass, with cargo OF 4OU,UUO Iee6
of yellow pine. The vessel and cargo were
worth $50 900.
The schooner Earl H. Potter, Captain
Dyser, another of the overdue vessels, sail
ed from Philadelphia June 20 for New \ OK
via Pensacola, where she arrived during
the month of August, clearing on the Esd
for New York with S50, 900 feet of lumber.
She carried a crew of eight men, and with
her cargo was worth $30,OOO
The bark Fannie II. Loring, Captain
Soule, sailed from this port on November Z,
for Portland, Ne. She carried crew of
ten men, all told, and, with her cargo of
coal, was worth So, 900.
The Norwegian bark Protector, Captain
Jarguson, which sailed from Hamburg or
July 27, for this port, with a general cargo,
has not been seen since she passed the Ed
dystone Light on August q. She carried
crew of ten men, and was valued, with her
cargo, at 1909.

An Attempted Jail breaking Frustrated.

JOLIET, ILL, Dec. II.
An attempted jail delivery was frus-
trated to-day in the County Jail in this
city. Among the twenty prisoners con-
fined, there are six desperate characters
Michael Mooney, who butchered his cell
mate; Skinney Hopkins and John Obern,
who entered the house of an aged couple
near this place and at the point of re-
volver forced them to give up 5000; Lewis
Jackson, a colored burglar, and two foot
pads named Mollie Burns and Nelson
Clark. These notorious criminals have
been in the habit of dancing and singing in
the corridors of the Jail with the other pris-
oners, and the Jailer yesterday suspected
something wrong from the regularity and
system of these matinee performances. He
instituted a secret watch and discovered
that it was done to divert attention from
one of their number, who was induStriously
saving at the bars of an obscure outside
window. They were Immediately locked
up and deprived of the saw. An examine
ton of the window showed that one of the
bars was sawed off at the top and partially
sawed off at the bottom. Had they been
allowed to keep up their performance one
or two days more the desperate Mooney
and the whole gang would have turned
themselves loose upon the community.
They will not be permitted to exercise in
the corridors any more, but will be securely
locked in their cells and close watch kept
upon them.
