The recent .pirtx,, snow.

To the Editor of tie Indianapolis Journal:
Accounting for the recent storm or dirty
snow. friend Of mine, who keeps In close
touch with modern scie1tifc thought. ad
vanced the theory OF comet dust, which, I
take it. is familiar to readers OF the Journ al.
This theory seems to me to be sound and
is certainly easie. to compreh md and to
believe than the theory of desert sand
and dust raised by whiriwinds into the
clouds. A bit Of intelligence supporting the
theory of comet dust comes this morning
in the shipping columns of the Tacoma

at that port OF the British ship Scottish
Da.es, Captain Thomas Mccarty, the News
says:
when off the river Platte. In the Arpen-

counter. The masts and spars were covered
with fine. white dust. 1t was of very
light nature and fell over the deck in no
small quantities. When rubbed between the
fingers 1t would gradually evaporate and

dust was from some volcano then IN srup-

Is IL not more probable that IL was the
dust of some comet through which the
