WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Senate com

SAND-STORMS.
The Fierce Winds of the Great American


As would be inferred from its tenn
perature, the desert is land of fearful
winds. When that volume of hot air
rises by its own lightness, other air
from the surrounding world must rush
in to take its place; and as the new
ocean of atmosphere, greater than the
Mediterranean, pours in enormous
waves into its desert bed, such winds
result as few in fertile lands ever
dreamed of. The Arabian simeon is
not deadlier than the sand-storms of
the Colorado desert las the lower half
of this region is generally called.
Express trains can not make head

are even blown from the track
Upon the crests of some of the
ranges are hundreds of acres buried
deep in the fine, white sand that those
fearful gales scoop up by carloads,

upon the scowling peaks thousands of
feet above. There are no snow-drifts
to blockade trains there; but it is fire.

the storm is spent, may survive;but woe
