NATURES FREAKS.
sand storms, the Broken specter
and the Silver Thnw.

In some of the desert regions of the
west-notably the Painted desert of
Arizona-those prankish phenomena
called sand storms are frequent.
Sometimes they rise seemingly to the
clouds and obtain a diameter of fifteen
Tor twenty feet. A spot of ground be-
comes excessively heated, causing the
air above it to ascend. This occasions
an influx of the atmosphere from all
sides, but unequally, the result being
q gyratOry motion visible in the sand
or dust raised into the air In other
words, a sort of natural chimney is
created, through which there is a
powerful UP draught. Such whirling
columns have a very weird appearance
as they move hither and thither, some
times many of them at once, across
the desert. One might imagine them
to be animated by evil spirits, and it
is no wonder that people in India call
them devils.
A peculiar phenomenon observed in
various places, but most perfectly
among the mountains of the Broken
lin Germany, is the so-called Broken
lspecter" 1t is an enlarged shadow of
the observer cast by the sun, near sun
rise or sunsent, upon the fog which
lenvelops him. It's enormous size makes
the apparition rather startling. Pre-
Sumably it is due TO the fact that the
shadow is thrown upon the particles
of moisture suspended in the air all
along to the limit of vision.
One of the most wonderful of atmos-
lpheric freaks at this wintry season is
the silver thaw,' which clothes the
trees in shining coats of ice, every
Itwig sparkling in the sunlight. Yet
flew take the trouble to inquire how
this comes to pass. 1t is very simple
At the beginning of a thaw the air,
I1aden with water, passes over the
Eboughs and twigs, and the moisture II
contains is frozen upon them. Every
year stories of great hail stones are
circulated in the newspapers. Some as
lbig as elephants are said to have fallen
lin India and they have been fairly
well authenticated Unfortunately
however, these were doubtless aggre-
cations Of hail stones partly melted to-
gether.-W ashingtOn Star.

MUST SHOW MINERAL.
A Reversal of the Action of the Land
Office Made.

Washington. Feb. 17.-The practice of
the general land Office has been ma
Iterially changed by a decision of the
secretary of the interior in the case of
E. Q. Farrell ct al. against William L.
Hoget ct al, of the Helena, Mont,
land district, on appeal from decision
of the land commissioner. The Secre-
tary holds that each twenty acre tract
of any placer claim must show the
discovery of minerals in order to OBJ
tain mineral patent. Whether the
claim is surveyed or not, makes no
difference in the rights of the locators.
Accordingly. a location made on a
larger amount of land is void except
fer the twenty acres Immediately sur
rounding it, This is a reversal Of the
action of the land Office.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb lion
Thursday night, Mrs. Annie Rucker,

Each denied his guilt, but the evidence
showed one or the other to be the
perpetrator. To make sure of the
right man, both were strung up to a

POWDERLY AFTER THE STUFF.
He and Two Others Sue the knights
For Salaries.

Philadelphia, Feb. 17-John w
Hayes, general secretary and treasurer
of the knights of Labor. today issued
the following note to the order wher-
ever found:
ct. V. Powderly, past general master
workman; A. w. Wright, and John
board, have entered a suit against the
order for the balance of salaries,
which they claim is due them. This
notice is published to prevent any
credence being given to unreliable
statements that may be made in the
public press. If, by a decree of the
lcourt, it is learned the order is indebted
/ in any way to these claimants, the or
der is and will be fully able to meet
lany just claim.
JOHN w. HAYES,
General Secretary and Treasurer
This notice was the first intimation
the rank and file had that Powderly,
Devlin and Wright contemplated en-
ltering suit against the order or would,
| in any way, openly attack it. 1t was
an open secret that the defeated trio
were covertly endeavoring to create a
ldissension in the ranks of the knights;
but in view of their past expressions,
lit was not supposed they would ever
come out boldly and show their hands.
lit was ascertained that Powderly ct
AL, in bringing the suits, did not spec
lily the sums they claimed.
Within the past month, Powderly has
presented bills to the order for salary
land expenses amounting to $4,000. 1t
lis the belief of those in a position to
know that he will not confine his
claims to the bills presented, but will
make a claim for an enormous sum
for the purpose of creating consterna-
ton in the rank and file.
The bills presented by A. w,
Wright and John Devlin amount to
5000 each; against each is a counter
claim for s125 each for advertising
Powderly's Tintic mine scheme in the
Journal of the knights of Labor
! Wright and Devlin both acknowledged
the Justice of these claims on the floor
| of the last convention. In reference to
| the suits, acknowledgements Hayes
| said: sNotice of the suits was served
on General Master Workman Sovereign
before he left for Washington. The
claim of the two members is so small
that they very well knew they could
/ get the money when they wanted it,
In fact, they have come in here from
week to week since the convention and
got what they asked for. Powderly
| did not present his bills until a short
time ago, and then six months in a
Hump He should have presented them
monthly and he knew it. There was
nothing left for US but to refer them
| to the general executive board fos
audit. 1t looks like a scheme, and a
very futile one, to disrupt the order.
