AN ARIZONA ULoUD.BURsr.

Six Immense Rivera Come Down the
Hills Under u Cloudtuss Sky.
From the Tusson (Ariz) Cit z.n.
on Sunday afternoon one of those
curious phenomena Of nature oc.
Cured about Thirty miles southwest of
Tuscon, and from the description given
by eye witnesses it WAS the largest
cloud burst ever known in the country.
From Judge r. u. Ferguson the follow
ing account was gathered: On Sunda-
he was returning from u trip to the s. utl,-
ern part OF the country. At 10 O'Clock
he put up at Browns station to await
dinnerand avoid the heat OF the sun.
The sky all day was cloudless, except q
thunder storm that was observed travel
ing the submits Of tine Santa Carulimas
and disappearing over tho Ricone in the
northeast. Otherwise not cloud or
vapor Of any kind was to be seen. The
sun was shining in all its vigor; and as
he passed to the West his strength and
cory seemed undinlinished. At 8
journey toward Tucson. lie tad come
about FIVE miles, when his attention was
attracted by Il roaring and cracking to-
ward the west, and looking up he saw a
RIVER of water, us big as the Santa Cruz
when 1t runs through Warnerls mill tail
race, coming toward HIM. Telling his
driver TO halt, they stopped on top OF a
little knoll, and watched the waters us
they violently powed the desert, tear
ing up stones and brush. They had evil
IDENTITY spent their force. After the flood
had passed by, the face of tie country
was disfigured. and q large gutter lad
been cut across the valley. the current
came down off email range of low,
rolling hills to the west. Although the
judge and his companion strained their
eyes III the direction from which the
water came not q cloud was TO be seen.
Alter the water had subsidized sufficient
ly TO let them pass they went on. They
had hardly gun. half q nj 9 when, to
their aston. shment. there was another
stream equally as large rs the first one.
Again they peered toward the west in
course. Passing on, their astonishmeEt
was doubled to lind another stream, and
in this manner five succ, ssive raging
currents we're crossed. But all
their reserve was called forth when four
niles from here they struck the first
stream they discovered sixth one US
large as all the others combined. Its
angry waters were roaring and kissing
as il maddened ut the resistance they
met Oh the way from the hills Of the
desert. This river was unfurdable, and
to cross it was impossible, 80 they halt
ed onn knoll and watched it for two or
three hours as it boiled and sizzled and
cut bed for itself, in some places ms
that they dared to attempt d crossing.
What renders it SO curious is that not
one at Browns station saw the clouds.
1t may be possible that some hidden
springs we're uncorked by some subter.
can earthquake. At any rate. it il a
great woEder.

Badness.

What Occas' ons it, and How IL Can
fse AvOid.0.
From the Boston Ms.ica journal.
o. I.assar has continued his obscrya-
tons on nature Of premature badness,
and has further convinced hi lseli of the
communicabIlity o: at least the form as
ISOLATED with dandruG When the hairs
which fall off in such cases are collected
rubbed up with vazcline, and the ONT
rnent so made is Rubbed among the fur
of rabbits or white mice, badness makes
itself visible on the parts so treated.
That this is OF due to the vnseline was
shown by amounting other animals
with the yuseline alone.
which produced no effect whatever.
He considers that the disease is spread
by haicdressers, WHO employ combs
and brushes to their customers, one after
another, without any regular cleansing
to these articles alter each time they are
used. During frequent visits to the hair
dressers. it can scarcely fail that brusll-
es are used which have been shortly
before dressing the hair OF one affected
with so common a complaint AZ sclldy
badness. Females, he III nks, are less
because the hairdresser more frequent
ly attends to them ut their homes, and
there Use their combs and brushes. In
order to prevent, as far as possible, the
commencement OF alopecia premature,
the hair should be cut AMI
dressed at home and with
ones own implements, and these
thoroughly clean. When it has begun,
the following mode of treatment is sug-
gested: The scalp is to be daily well
soaped with tar or fluid glycerine potash
soap, which is to be rubbed in for tif-
teen minutes firmly. The head is then
to be drenciied with, first, warm water,
and then gradually colder water. AZ
per cent. corrosive sublimate lotion il
next 10 be pretty freely applied. The
head is then to he dried, and the roots
of the hair, are to have q ! per cent.
solution of napl hol in spirit rubbed into
them. Finally, "a pomade OIL l.2 to 2
per cent of carbolic or salicyiic oil is to
be used on the head. This treatment
has now in many Cases brought the dis.
ease not only to stand, but the hair
has been to . considerable extent re-
stored.
