The Earth,s Dust Islnnket.

We are apt to think Of the dust
that the air contains in greater or
less quantities as simply an annoy
ance, and perhaps a source Of disease;
but the researches OF John Aitken,
the Scottish investigator, are beginn-
ing to reveal atmospheric dust to us
in new lights. Mr.. Aitken has re-
Gently made known the results Of his
observations during 1890, which are
supplementary to those made in 1889.
1t appears that when the air is very
thick and haZy it may contain float
ing dust particles to the number Of
10, 600 to 10000 IN every cubic CEN
timetre, while cubic centimetre of
very clear air may contain only from
a dozen up to a very few hundred
PARTICLES.
Mr.. Aitken's observations indicate
that there is a relation between the
quantity Of dust and the temperature
of the air. A great amount of dust,
he thinks, increases the temperature
IN the daytime, and checks the fall Of
temperature at night.
The reason apparently is that the
presence of dust serves as an Obstruc-
ton to the free radiation Of heat
through the air. The sunbeams pass
through very clear air without lend
ing much heat to it, and at night the
heat received by the ground during
tho day readily escapes through the
same air; but if the atmosphere is
heavily laden with dust; the suns
rays are partially arrested by the par
ticles which, becoming heated, in
turn warm the air, and in like man
ner heat radiated from the earth at
night is retained in the hazy layers of
air in contact with its surface.
Without its atmosphere, which
serves as a coverlet to protect it
against the fearful cold of space, the
surface of the earth would be frozen
like that of the airless moon.

Quick Trnnsit-

IS most interesting sight to
watch an OranQ-outang make It's wav
through the jungle. 1t walks slowly
along the larger branches in a semi
erect attitude, this being apparently
caused by the length of its arms and
the shortness of its legs.
1t invariably selects those branches
which intermingle with those of a
neighboring tree, on approaching
which 1T stretches out its long arms
and, grasping the bough opposite,
seems first to shake them as if to test
their strength, and then deliberately
swings itself across to the next
branch, and walks along as before.
1t does not jump or spring as mon
keys usually do, and never appears to
hurry unless some real danger pre-
sents. Yet it gets along far quicker
than person running through the
forest beneath.
Various stories are told about its
huge dimensions and great height,
but have never seen one over four
feet high from head to heel, and from
seven to eight feet, measuring from
finger to finger across the outstretched
arms, the width of the fake varying
In measurement from eight to twelve
inches, though the accounts of larger
animals having been met with may,
be quite true.
The tradition of the Dyaks is that
no animal in the jungle dares to at
tack the orang-outang except the
python and the crocodile. At times,
when there is no fruit obtainable in
the jungle, it wanders down to the
rivers to search for palm shoots along
their banks. Then it is the Dyaks
relate how the crocodile will some
times try to seize it by the leg and
drag it under the water :Sid into the
Shiny mud below; but the orang-
outang, according to their accounts,
soon gets the best of the struggle, and
the crocodile is either beaten to death
with its powerful arms and feet or
torn to pieces.
But, on the other hand, it is sell
dom able to kill the python, who,
with its deadly embrace, soon puts an
end to the great man-like ape of

It'll hold one less tonight, she said
looking at the fire.
What are you talking about?" he
asked in querulous suspicion.
She drew paper from her pocket.
Its that draft Of yours that you
were crazy enough to sign Dawson
name 70. 1t was lying out there on the
desk. reckon it isn't thing you care
to have kept as evidence, even by your
1ather."
She held it in the flames until it was
consumed.
@By Jove, your head is level, Lottiel"
he said, with an admiration that was
not, however, without a weak reserve Of
suspicion.
~No, it isn't, or wouldn't be here,
she said, CURLY. Then she added, as if
Diminishing the subject: We'll, what

"Oh, said I met you in New York.
You see, thought she might think it
queer if she knew I only met you in
San Francisco three weeks ago. OF
course, 1 said we were married"
She looked at him with weary aston
ishment.
And, of course, whether things go
right or not, she'll find out that I've got
a husband living, that never met you
in New York, but on the steamer, and
JnaC you've ueO. OOn Z see the use

you.
Yes; but don't you see, hang it ALL"

confusion, Il had to tell her something.
Father won't dare to tell her the truth,
no more than he will the neighbors.
He'll hush it up, you bet; and when we
get this thing fixed you'll go and get
your divorce, you know, and We'll be
married privately on the square"
He looked so vague, so immature,
yet so fatuously self-confident, that the
woman extended her hand with a laugh
and tapped him on the back as she
might have patted a dog. Then she
disappeared to follow Zuleika in the
kitchen.

Nothing Remains but the Cemetery.

tsDo you remember the White Pine

Church of Los Angeles, Cal. 1.-THE
Creole Coli excitement reminds me
of it, although the camp at White
Pine was much larger. Away up
among the sage brush Of White Pine
Mountain was located the camp Of
that name. At one time more than
IS, 900 people carried on business
there. Houses were erected by hun
dreds, and revelry went on day and
night Now the place is deserted.
The houses have fallen into decay.
Here and there log cabin remains.

White Pine now is its cemetery.
During the boom of'67 men died there
by the thousands Those who did
not suceumb to mountain fever and
pneumonia met violent deaths, and
all were buried on a sage-cOvered side
Of the mountain. Wooden headsJones
were erected to the memory Of the
departed ones, but the boards have
now nearly all rotted away. The
bodies Of the dead were petri1ed,
however, and are there to this day.

Met on the Andes.

One specially high peak Of the An
des affords peculiarly fine view of
the sunrise, and on two sides of this
peak huts have been built within an
hours climb Of the apex in order that
travellers having scrambled up the
mountain side may rest over night
and go at it fresh in the morning.
An American reached the summit of
the mountain from one Of the huts
just at sunrise one morning and found
himself face to face with stranger
who had tolled up from the hut on
the opposite side. Both gazed in 81
lence at the sight below, and then
one said to the other: 'sThere is only
one other view that equals this, in
my opinion" ''Just what I was
thinking said his companion.
''What's your other view?" ''That
to be seen at sunrise from Fort Non
sense, near Morristown, n. j." said
the first. ''Why. that's mine, too,''
said the other, and then, standing
together on that lonely peak, the
two compared notes and discovered
that they were neigh bors in the little

He shall pay for it whatever he's

wild passion. Where is her"
why, Jack, you wouldn't dare to see
him now"
Wouldn't I?'
He turned and ran, convulsed with
passion, before the windows toward the
front of the house. Zuleika slipped out
of her bedroom and ran to her father s
room. He was not there. Already she
could hear her brother hammering
franticaIiy against the locked front door.
The door of the Office was partly open.
Her father was still there. Asleep?
Yes, for he had apparently sank for
ward before the cold hearth. But the
hands that he had always been trying
to warm were now colder than the
hearth OF ashes, and he himself never
again spoke, breathed, nor stirred
It was deemed providentiaI by the
neiRhbors that this youngest and ia
vorite son, alarmed by the news Of his
fathers falling health, had arrived from
the Atlantic States so opportunely.
But it was thought singular that after
the division Of the property he entirely
abandoned the ranch, and that even
pending the division his beautiful but
fastidious Eastern bride declined to visit
IL with her husband.

York graces on which the paternal Hays
had set such store. He complacently
explained the methods by which he had
deceived DIR. Dawson, how he had him
self written a letter from his father
commanding him to return to take his
brothers place, and how he had shown
it to the Doctor and been three months
in San Francisco looking for work and
assisting Lottie at the theater, until a
conviction of the righteousness Of his
cause, perhaps combined with the fact
that they were also short of money and
she had no engagement. impelled him
to this present heroic step; all of which
Zuleika listened to with childish inter-
est, but superior appreciation OF his
companion. The fact that this woman
was an actress, an abomination vaguely
alluded to by her father as being even
more mysteriously wicked than her
sister and mother, but correspondingly
exciting as Offering a possible permanent
relief to the mOnOtOny Of her home life,
seemed to excuse her brothers weak
ness. She was almost ready to become
his partisan-after she had seen her
father.
They had talked largely of their plans;
they had settled small details Of the fu-
ture and the arrangement of the prop
erty; they had agreed that Zuleika
should be relieved of her household
drudgery, and sent to a fashionable
school in San Francisco with a music
teacher and a dress maker. They had
discussed everything but the precise
manner in which the revelation should
be conveyed TO Hays. There was still
plenty of time for that, for he would not
return until tomorrow at noon, and it
was already tacitly understood that the
vehicle Of transmission should be q let
ter from the Summit Hotel. The posi-
BILE contingency of q sudden Outburst OF
human passion not entirely controlled
by religious feeling was to be guarded
against.
They were sitting comfortably before
the replenished fire, the wind was still
moaning In the chimney, when. in lull
OF the storm, the sound Of sleigh bells
seemed to I'LL the room. It was followed
by a voice from without, and, with q
hysterical cry Zuleika started to her feet
The same breathless smile with which
she had greeted her brother an hour ago

redresser Of domestic wrongs and re-
triever OF the family honor lapsed,
