EFFECT OF WINDS.
How They Change and Shift the Sands
the Desert.

How They Change and Shift the Sands Of
the Desert.
When we see the snow blown into
huge drifts, burying fences and half
concealing farm buildings with its
white ramparts, we have a pretty clear
conception of the power of the wind to
move the lighter objects on the earth's
surface. But in parts of the world
where broad, sandy deserts exist the
wind assumes far greater Importance
in it's ability to change the. aspect of
the face of the globe. Huge sand-hills
roll slowly before it, advancing across
the level country in seemingly mag
ical manner.
clearly indicated by passage in the
report of Mr.. Littledale, who with his
wife crossed the great Pamir plateau a
year ago last summer. Describing the
scenes along the Transcaspian railway
Mrs Littledale says:
1.-THE line has been carried through
bowling wastes of drifting yellow sand.
having all the appearance of a strong
sea with it's waves and pillows, which
some magician has changed to motion
| less sand.
But the stiffness is not real, for il
you watch the top of the crests Of the
wavy hills you will notice that even q
light breeze causes the moistureless
powdery sand to blow over the top of
the crests down on their lee-side, thus
moving the sand hill slowly but gradu-
ally forward, and it is these restless
sand waves that constituted the main
difficulty in constructing and keeping
open the Transcaspian railway"
But this is not the only important
effect of the wind working upon sand.
Attention has recently been recalled
by Mr.. John II. Cooke to the fact that
the shapes of permanent hills are
altered, sometimes to a wonderful ex-
tent, by the blowing of the wind
against them. This is especially true
where the hills are partly composed of
some form of rock that readily dis
integrates under the influence Of the
weather.
The crumbling rock is blown away,
leaving the more solid rocks behind in
curious forms. The famous sirocco, or
southeasterly wind. that blows across
the Mediterranean sea from Africa,
has shaped and nodded many hill and
valley.
Mr. Cooke asserts that an extensive
bay on the east coast of the island OF
Malta owes its origin and extent to the
agency of the sirocco, which blows di-
rectly into it. The rapid chanRes from
dam pness to dryness which are
characteristic of the sirocco, and the
capitalization Of the salt which tide
posts upon the rocks, are reckoned
among the powers of destruction which
this wind possesses Youths Com

clevis is put on the front end either di-
rect on the Tapped point Of the two
scantlings or by means of separate
piece Q by inches bolted to the frame.
By this a span of horses that can be
driven in a straight line can be hitched
to it. A boy seated on the clod masher
can drop the seed pretty fast for a
thick row through the open space be-
hind the tooth and in front of the clod
masher boards into the open furrow.
In loose soil the clod masher almost or
quite fills the furrow. Where soil is
more compact two little boards or
pieces of iron will have to be fastened
under the clod masher or just. pre-
ceding it to fill the furrow. After the
rows are measured off a man and boy
can plant better than is possible by
hand as fast as the team can walk.
Such seeds as defy self-dropping ma
chimes, as catalpa, ailanthus, boxelder,
etc, can be planted without trouble, as
can any seed from the smallest kinds
to big potatoes Rudolph Stuehck, in

SCULPTURE IN IVORY.
An Aftcmpt 70 Revive an Ancient crest

~
Art
An eminent Berlin sculptor Is attempt
ing to revive the old Greek art q gold
and Ivory sculpture, and Is engaged
upon q bust concerning which corrc-
spondent of the London Athenaeum
writes: :. As to the technique the whole
flesh is of ivory cut into thin plates
with the grain, not,as in the case q the
statue Of De Quincy, against y. Of these
plates there are thirty-four, covering
the whole fiesh surface. They are eight
millimeters thick except in the case OF
the nose, which Is one solid piece, A.
otherwise the nostrils would be un-
manageable, theA ne being tho case
with the ears The most important
point, however, Is the method by which
the plates are fastened to each other
and to the wooden block, which Is solid,
and carved to exactly correspond
with the inner surface Of the ivory.
Small steel pins Join each plate. the
ivory being bored to receive them (this
boring, by the way, the sculptor under
stands to be the meaning OF toreutic.)
This method of clamping Is also used to
secure the plates to the wood Glue, he
thinks, would not be strong or delicate
enough for such york, while at the
same time by the former method there
is less liability to damage owing to the
warping of the wood. The whole bust
Is of wood, the hair and drapery being
OVERLAND with thick gold leaf, which
certainly gives a fine effect, especially
ms regards the hair The eyes are OF
onyx, the pupil being painted. The eye
flashes are painted well asstt he eye
brows, and little hair by the ear. The
effect of the last is very bad, as is also
| that of the hard line between the gold
hair and the flesh, perhaps unavoidably
due to the difficulty Of joining the two
different materials. So in9the work OF
the ears and the nostrils We see the
same difficulty in managing the mate
rial. The lips are tinted but not the
cheeks" The bust has been bought ~

which, accompanied by one of his
honest smiles, was sure to disarm all
feelings of resentment at the repri-
mand. The short quart" was always
counted in, but the slight offense was
never repeated by the same person.
Some of the pert young women who
were adopts in the art of berry picking,
sometimes took. occasion to dictate to
the young man as to the rights and
privileges which should be conceded
them as old and experienced hands.
Now and then one even attempted to
inaugurate mild Irritation with this
handsome, friendly son of wealthy
father; but their arts were completely
wasted, and their rights of precedence
quietly ignored.

manner, who by industry and becom-
ing modesty merited such treatment,

a BATTLE TO THE DEATH.
The Terrific Encounter Of Two valr%bi>
Stations.

The Terrific Encounter Of Two va1r%biA
On the farm of David Pullman, about
four miles northeast Of Evansville,
Ind.,was witnessed the other day one
of the fiercest battles between two stall
lions that has ever been seen in that
part of the country. Mr.. Pullman Is a
breeder of fine stock and had two stall
lions which cost him seven thousand
dollars each. They. were imported
Percherons and were both extra fne
animals
For some time the horses have been
noticed to be trying to get together,
but they were kept in strong stalls, and
it was supposed that their actions were
simply the usual actions of stations.
The other afternoon when both the ami
mails were taken out into the adjoining
yards to be exercised they were greatly
excited and endeavored to get to each
other. But by some mischance they
got away from their hostlers and made
dash at the fence; which broke down
under their combined assault. --.-----4
When the animals got together II
was like the meeting of giants, and the
fight was the most furious on record.
They struggled for supremacy in way
that was simply grand. They bit and
tore great pieces out of each other, and
their kicks and strokes with their fore
feet were terrible. It was impossible
to do anything toward parting them,
and the owner was compelled to look
helplessly on while the enraged beasts
fought. ~
One of the animals was abou two
hundred pounds heavier than the other,
but what the lighter animal lost in
strength he made up In agility, and his
attack was SO rapid that he finally got
the larger horse down and kicked and
paved him to death.

scattered over the broad fields gather
ing the glistening fruits, ripe, black
and luscious. The sun was high and
hot in the heavens, but no one seemed
to mind its rays; all were intent on
filing as rapidly as possible the small
baskets slung at their belts, or carried
dexterously in the hands.
1t was the gala time for the village
each year when this industry called out
its band of workers. No small amount
of rivalry was carried on among those
known from year to year as the fast
est pickers" Those with less nimble
fingers looked on, half enviously each
night, as one hundred quarts or more
were placed in the recording book
against many lucky name
The work was carried on systematic
ally enough. Each row of bushes in
the field was mum bered by means of a
marked wooden slab at the entrance
Large baskets were provided to hold
the smaller ones for removal from the
field to the evaporation near by, where
day and night, during the season, the
fruit was kept drying.
This particular morning the riotous
throng seemed more full of life and
spirits than usual A hundred heads
bobbed up and down between the rows
Of bushes; hundred voices rang out
n laugh and chatter and harmless
Jokes. Huge hats of all descriptions,
sunbonnets in all hues, sizes and shapes,
were conspicuously set forth by the
bright sunshine and the glistening
green leaves.
1t was hard work, all admitted that;
tiresome, dusty and uninviting; but
the vim and jollity brought to bear
upon the labor greatly lessened its
wearisomeness.
A long, light wagon stood at the edge
of the field near the road, which was
being rapidly filed with baskets OF
berries. Two. young men superintendent
the work, and jotted down the name
and number of quarts as each picker
came to the front with finished bas
ket
One of the men was hired for the oc
casion, the other was young Tom Bon
niface, his fathers only son and righ'
hand man generally in all manner OF
work. Whatever Tom superintendent
was sure to be done correctly; all &C.
counts were strictly kept, though nc
faint of niggardliness was apparent in
his dealings.
