Dancing Giants Of ,,,e Do..,.,

Curious atmospheric conditions of
the desert and high plateaus at certain
seasons of the year produce strange
phenomena but little understood ex-
cept by persons who have long lived
in those regions. The dry weather i'm
Nevada has produced host of giant
dancers there. Formerly they ap-
peared only in the spring, the Perane-
gat and Humboldt valleys being their
rendezvous. Now they are down in
Lyon county, far to the southwest.
These dancing giants, or waltzing
sand augers, said Judge Kelly OF
PIoche yesterday, ARE puZzlers to all
scientists. How they brace up aud
hold together so long is what gets
them. On quiet. sunny day you see
a little handful of sage brush soar
aloft on light breeze. Some more
joins II, until 1t is us big as your hat
and then your body, and then the
sand'and rocks and soil by the bushel
begin to roll into the mass from the
ground, ascending upward like a col.
umn. 1t Is soon as big us telegraph
pole, and all the time gaining, and ere
long its top maybe reaches !, 600, may,
be 5000 feet While you are watcii-
ing this one probably three or four
others will spring up, or u half dozen
will come waltzing down from the up
per end of the valley, having Travelled
probably twenty-five miles and torn
up the soil like steam plow in their
waltzing and zig-zngging.
i, These are some of the things saw
last week ten miles below Pioche.
Horses sniff the air and get wild when
they see them. The augers tear up
the hillsitles, smash houses like a cy
clone and suck up men like water
spout. Then when they have spent
their. force, quit sashaying and have
lost their cohesive powers, they go all
TO pieces in Us strange way as they
were formed, and there is nothing
loose boards and what not, to tell
what they once were. Strange things,
