content; or, again, If this mode of living
be little too primitive, you can rent a
complete housekeeping outfit very cheap
ly. and cook outside your tent. Every
body seems to adapt their way of living
to their inclination or their pocket book,
and everybody seems suited. The
grumbler has been conspicuously absent,
and people are proportionately happy.
1 cannot close without paying a well
merited tribute to the unfailing courtesy,
kindness and general obligingness of the
Assembly Management as represented
by Rev. D. Miner, President, and Mrs.
Keith, Secretary.
There is nothing that any body asks
for that they do not furnish. No ques-
tons, no matter how trivial, but receive
prompt and ready replies. Their good
nature is proof against the crankiest of
cranks, and their chief end in life during
the Assembly seems to be to make every
body comfortable and happy.

DUST SToRMs.-Sand and dust whirl:

DUST ToRMs.-Sand and dust whirls
occur in hot weather. They may be
anywhere from rod TO several rods in
diameter and from twenty to & thous-
and feet high, says an exchange. They
are sometimes compound, Il score or
more small whirls forming whirling
circle around common center. They
sometimes carry up so much sand III
Sahara and Arabia that those on whom
the sand falls are overwhelmed. They
occur also in the arid regions Of the
United States. In the Magdalena, val
lev, across the mountains westward
from Socorro in New Mexico, during a
hot day in summer they form at the
valley in a long, slender, verticlc col
umn, perhaps six hundred feet high
and then travel down the valley to-
ward the village Of Magdalena over
which they burst sometimes bringing
little pufls of contrary winds and a
shower of fine dust. In some
places group of stationary whiris OF
the same general character as the pre-
ceding are tied down to one point.
Such are the whirls which form some
times over volcanoes.
