Meteroic Dust on lcebergs.

One of the most interesting facts
contributed by Prof. Nordenskjold to
popular science is contained in his ac-
count of his examinaticn-when about
eighty degrees north latitude, before
reaching Parry's Island, to the north
west of Spitzbergen = of the snow
which covered the icebergs and which
had come from still higher ATTITUDES.
He found it strewn with a multitude
OF minute black particles, spread over
the surface or situated at the bottom
OF little pits, a great number OF
which were to be seen on the out
ward LAYER of snow: many such par
ticles were also lodged in the interior
strata. This dust. which became gray
on drying, the Professor found to con
tan a large proportion OF metallic
PARTICLES attracted by the magnet and
capable of l,decomposing suiphate OF
copper. An observation made q little
later upon other icebergs proved the
presence of similar dust in a layer OF
granular crystalline snow situated be-
Meath Il stratum OF light fresh snow
and another OF hardened snow Upon

An Amusing Anecdote Of Judge David
.a Davis, of Illinois.
Judge David Davis, when he pondcrously
presided over the Senate, preserved the
manners of the bench, and ruled in an ar
bltrary manner never before witnessed at
the Capitol. One of his a%nnoyances was a
debate protracted after his usual dinner
hour, and when that time arrived he would
look around imploringly for a motion to
adjourn. IL no Senator made the motion
he would boldly humble out: 'sThe SEN
ator from - (indistinct) moves to ad-
journ; those in favor say yes; those op-
posed no.. The Senate stands adjourned
till twelve O'Clock Tomorrow" This as
sumption by the presiding officer was tacitly
the other Senators, who also liked to dine at
an early hour. .
On day Senator ingalls,, of Kansas, had
risen to debate al important bill which was
under consideration, when Judge Davis,
who wanted to go to dinner, looked to-
wards the other side of the Senate
chamber, mumbled out his motion and de-
clared it carried. So the Senate adjourned.

SAVE THE STRAW.

Its Destruction in Former Years the
Cause of Many a Mortgage.
The burning straw stack is getting
to be a rare spectacle even in the
wasteful Northwest. However bounti-
full and lavish nature may have been
in her gifts to this favored section,
she eve intended to have them
abused in q wanton and reckless man.
ner. Man has no moral or natural
right to %impoverish the land he &C.
cupies. He has no right to defraud
those who are to come after him. His
successor to the soil have rights that
he is bound in natural justice kto re-
spe:t. There is a penalty attached to
the violation OF all natural laws. This
may not always fall directly upon the
offender. We are told that it may
fall 'eyen upon the third and
fourth generations" But it is very
probable the presentofendcrs will have
to bear their share of the
penalty attached TO such wasteful
practices. The men who burned their
straw stacks ten years ago are to-day
paying the penalty. Where then they
reaped thirty bushels OF wheat from an
acre they can NOW hardly get fifteen.
Many OF these farms are now heavily
mortgaged and many more have
already passed under the hammer.
..Willful wasue makes woeful want"
1t is a Just retribution, and one from
which we may deduce a useful lesson.
The strawstacks may no longer be
burned, but it is pla My to be seen
that they are not cared for and utilized
in the best possible manner Reform
here should begin at the tail-end OF the
threshing machine. Put some OF the
best men on the 'strawstack instead
OF putting small boss and worth css
hands there, as is too often done. Straw
should be stacked. not piled up. The
main iiea with some is to get the straw
back ont of the way Of the machine.
A huge flat pile is usually the result.

farm. In strict economy it would be
better to stack a part of the hay and
