ON OUR WESTERN SAHARA.
The Dust storms of the "Great Amer
lean Desert"

1eQn
From the Hartford Times
There is no perfect climate on the face
of this round earth we call ours. Para
disc may afford such; but, meanwhile, be-
tween here and there, is chance to make
a variety of interesting observations. The
dust-storns of the Great American Des-
ert' are not fully treated in the 'attrac-
lions" of various new towns issued by
spectators. The dust-storms of Colorado
New Mexico, Arizona-the whole desert
section in whatever state-are important
factors in the chances for comfort and
success of the new settler.
The signs Of a coming dust-storm are
many The air is electric, feather viii
cling to the fingers, the sky is oftimes
gray and streaked, the children in the
schools even the primaries are nervous
Suddenly the bits of paper in the streets
begin to whirl; soon you will see the dust
coming like rolling storm-cloud; the sky
is obscured; everything out of doors is
ION the fly" the slim branches of the
scant cottonwoods slash the air, and if
you are fortunate enough to be out of
doors, your eyes, nose and mouth will be
filled with alkali dust, while you are striv-
ing to make Roadway against a whirlwind.
If you are under cover you will hasten to
drop windows and shades; but the dust is
so fine it will penetrate whatever air
can The pattern of the carpet may be
obliterated, and in some Of the worst ones
in New Mexico an eyewitness has said
that drifts have been formed on the floor
from one to two inches in depth.
How long does a storm last?"
Sometimes an hour, sometimes three
days-coming with great violence at inter
walls. We have known one that continued
a week with the exception of one day
for a recess. The effect upon nervous
temperament is distressing; there is a de-
sire to hide the head like an ostrich; to
creep into some hole. to cover the face so
as not to see the wild turmoil of whirl-
ing things. The irritability is so great
with some persons as to eliminate in fits
of weeping. This is followed by exhaus-
ton.
It is not improbable that sandstorms
had an influence in the building of the
cliff dwellings"
A dust storm may occur at any time of
the year. but the spring is especially pro-
life When the "kamsin, the wind from
the desert, blows in" lie 1t summer or
winter, the worst kind of storm may
ride on its wings.
The huge, cone shaped mounds Of ossi-
fed structure, which stretch for miles
here and there on the plains testify to
the whiriing winds that over a thousand
leagues Of desert have had their mad
sweep for centuries.
BY some, dust storms are considered
scavengers. Some think the air seems
purer Just after one, and so IL does ON
the principle that the tooth feels better
when II has done aching Some think
them healthful. as dry earth is a disin-
fectant. but the injury 10 the throat and
10 the nerves and the disastrous effect on
vegetation seem to oyeTbalance this con-
sheraton
