THE USE or DUST.
To IT We owe the Blue of the Sky and
Other Pleasing Sights.
Oeipsig Gartenlaube.


Without dust there would be no blue
ornament; the Heaven would be blacker
than we see it on moonless nights. On
this black background the glowing sun
would shine out sharply. ana the same
sharp contrast OF intense light and deep
shadow would characterize the surface OF
the earth. There would BE- nothing TO
subduc this sharp contrast but the moon
and stars, which would remain visible by
day. The illumination Of the earth would
be similar 10 that which we observe when
looking at the moon through a telescope;
for the moon has no atmOsph 2ric envelope.
and. consequently. no dust IN suspension.
1t IS due entirely to the dust that we
enjoy our soft. uniformly ulfused day
ught for which our eyes are specially
adapted. and IL is the dust which con-
tributes SO much 10 the beauty OF the
landscape. But, while the foregoing eX-
plains how the dust makes lhc whole
vault of Heaven light, 1t does not eX-
nlain why 1t is chiefly the blue rays Of
tha white sunlight that are reflected
and only TO a small extent the green.
vellow and red rays. This is dependent
ON Tho size OF the dust particles. Ii Is
only the finest of them that are borne
Nv The air-currents into every stratum OF
air and IL Is only these iine widely d.f-
fused dust-particles that are OF any sig
niflcance in this connection.
Now. let us consider the mechanism
of light, and the extreme shortness OF
the ether-wayes which constitute It's es-
sance These waves. although all Micro
scopicalIy small. vary considerably In
length. The fine atmospheric dust In
cludes many particles large enough to
reflect the short blue ether-waves. fewer
particles capable OF rejecting green ana
yellow, and still fewer large enough 10
influence the long red ethereal waves.
the red light, consequently, passes
through the sreat majority OF the dust
nart.cles comparatively unhindered; the
blue rays, on the contrary. are intercepted
and diifused, and 60 become visible. THIS
Is the reason tina. the finest husband So

NEW yoRx STOCK MARKET


NEW YORK, July THE days busi-
ness at the Stock Exchange showed some
Improvement, as compared with that OF
the previous Saturday. but the activity
was at the expense OF values. The deal
ings footed up 1900 shares, Sugar. st.
Paul, Burlington and Quincy, Chicago
Gas, and Rock Island being the most
active stocks. The market was much
weaker in tone, and the bears were more
aggressive, on account of the lawlessness
of the western strikers. Large foreign
houses said that their correspondents
were disappointed at the strength and
number Of the strikers, and reported a
dribbling Of long stocks. The selling was
also accelerated by the stock failures In
London yesterday.
At home the bears were able TO shake
out little more long stock. the destruc-
ton of railway property by the strikers as
sisting those operating for lower prices.
Sterling exchange also showed more
strength because OF limited offerings or
commercial bills the freight blockade az
the West closing up the most sources or
supply. IL the merchandise movement Is
to be stopped much longer. banks Will
have to follow the example OF l4azard
| Freres. and forward gold TO foreign
| creditors. 4 renewal Of the gold export
movement would give the bears additional
ammunition. .

THE SHIP MINDoRo.

The Essex County Mercury, publish
ed at Salem, Mass, recently contained
the following poem by Fred Goldsmith
Walker the subject being one of the
old Salem ships, that in her day. had
q. fame that extended to the farthest
seas:
Stately shipi On, fair Mindoro!
When I ever look on thee,
There comes back past historic,
From beyond Times distant sea.
And it seems that on our harbor,
Sheltered from the outer bay,
l can see the ships of Salem,
Which have now all sailed away.
Gone their way from scenes endear-
ing,
And the port they know so well,
Some in coral groves are rolling,
With the ceaselesS underswell
So whene'er I gaze upon thee,
Proud Mindoro. queen of grace,
1t doth seem Al slight resemblance,
OF this old-time shipping place.
True, I hear no creaking windlaSS,
Nor the sailor lads at play,
And no chanty song of sweetness
Is re-echoed Ger the bay.
But in thee see n veteran,
Who hast battled with the deep;
May'st thou live, o ship. foreverl
And thy lines of beauty keep!
For thy work is far from over,
Keeping free from shoals and bars,
Vindicate old Salem's prestige!
Float once more the Stripes and
Stars.

A STRANGERS VIEWS.


The travelling correspondent Of the
West Coast Trade. who was here last
week, sends the following to his pa
per:
Thursday I took the steamer Ilwaco
for Astoria, by a zig-zag course through
the many fsh-traps which number
something like 500 in this vicinity. We
finally reached the main channel of
the Columbia river, which brought US
into view Of the government jetties be-
ing built for the purpose Of deepening
the channel and bar at the mouth Of
the river. The piling has been driven
and q double railroad track has been
built at the top. Train loads Of rock
are being hauled and dumped around
the piling, which makes a permanent
brakewater and throws the water into
a narrow space, which, 1t is expected,
will eventually cut the bar sufficiently
to allow vessels to come in at low tide
without trouble. At 4:SO the steamer
landed, and was soon at home at the
fine Occldent hotel, where the travelling
public is we'll received and everything

Astoria is certainly a fish town, as
there are thirteen canneries here, and
twenty-five tributary to it. There are
two saw mills, two box factories, bar
rel and tub factory, and other smaller
industries. The town claims popula-
tion of about 5000, which is probably
increased In the fishing season by 1000
more and as I sat in the Office of
prominent packer and saw the fisher
men come in and get all the way from
$50 to $175 in gold for their weeks

thought what would be the matter with
fishing in the spring and summer when
there are more fish, and the price is
cents per pound. Nothing but the
lateness of the season stopped me from
turning fisherman, as 1 was pronounced
an artist at the business at Ilwaco. The
spring and summer catch of salmon
amounted to $4,000 cases, and the fall
catch, which will close November 1st
will swell the whole pack up to $4,000
cases of salmon for the Columbia river
Astoria is one of the solid towns of
Oregon, and has lots of wealth to back
up her industries and when she gets
railroad, will no doubt give Portland
a hard race for the wheat shipments of
the Columbia river. 1t is a well laid
out town, and the stores are well occu,
pied and look thrifty.
