DUSTY BY ACTUAL COUNT.
A Scientist Has Numbered the Dust Par
ticles in the Very Purest Air.

A Scientist Has Numbered the Dust Par
ticles in the Very Purest Air.
It has always been believed that
there could be no dust in the air of mid
ocean or upon mountain peaks thou
sands of feet above the sea level, where
the SHOWS are eternal. But science has
recently demonstrated that such is not
the case. 1t has even gone further
than finding dust in these places; 1T has
counted with the utmost accuracy the
number of particles in cubic centime-
ter.
Dust measurements were made from
air over the open ocean and in noun
tain regions at attitudes from 5000 feet
to more than 1900 feet. On the Bles-
horn, in Switzerland, which forms part
of the Alpine chain, containing the
Rothhorn and Weisshorn, rising about
5000 feet above the Zermatt valley on
the east, and some 5000 feet from that
Of Ziani on the west, the observation
showed that at an elevation of 6,7oe
feet there were $50 dust particles in
cubic centimeter, which measures lit.
feet elevation only 513 dust particles
were found, and at 1900 feet above
the sea level the number diminished to
$50 per cubic centineter-
Over the Indian ocean the average
number of dust particles in a cubic
centimeters was less than 500 for out
OF days, and on days was less than
400.
During thick fog in the Atlantic
the air was found TO contain 3,12o dust
particles per cubic centimetor, while
N the clear region just beyond the fog
there were only ESQ dust particles in
the same space.
Probably even few men of science
ould be able to tell how these parti-
cles could be counted, but wonderful

Mr.. James Boylan. one OF the promin-

How he would love the precious ore.
And every hour should swell mis- store
That when Death came, with shadOwy

To watt him to his bleak dominion.
He might by brides. his doom delay.
And bid him cali some distant dav.
But since not all esrth's golden store
Can buy for him one bright hour more,
Cold Is the goidbugs only theme

HOW ABOUT "COIN" HARVEY?
His Name Mentioned Among Vice Presi-
DENTAL Dark Horses

Chicago, July 6.-LOuisiana's position
OF the presidential nominee has not
been made. Mr.. B. W. Marston, dele
gate from the Fourth district of that
state, announces that while the dele
cation is instructed to act as a unit,
ne is for Bland
Il SHALL" he said, advocate Silver
Dick Band for president and w. Har-
yey, Coin for vice president.
THAT ticket" Mr.. Marston contin-
ued, needs no explanation. 1t is able;
it Is patriotic; it is of the people. 1t has
no smack of a political job 1 believe it
would sweep the country as did Tippe-
canoe and Ty<er, too. If Bland is not
made president, then I want to see him
made vice president. The people re-
member the Bland silver bill and the
prosperity we had under it. / do not
think Bland is TOO big for his breeches'
and he viii accept the vice presidency If
he fails TO be nominated for president.
"A silver campaign viii bring success.
The people VIII have no other. l would
ignore the Cleveland administration if
possible. because l would not hit fel-
low when he is down; but if Mr.. Cleve-
land insists upon an endorsement and
81 looks as if ne will, 1 would hit him
right between the eyes.

save the wreck and throw the exploded

Mr.. Marston also announces that
he thinks the party should make a
declaration for protection on the ground
that the people are overwhelmingly
Free silver and protection go hand in
hand"
Mr.. Marston has proposed and win
submit to the committee on resolutions
the following plank:
Resolved, That gold and silver rec
egnized by the constitution, as primary
money are the birthright Of the people
and any legislation denying the holders
Of either Of these precious metals, the
rights Of free coinage is a crime. We
demand the immediate repeal of the
law Of 1873, demonetizing silver and the
rs-enacbment OF the coinage laws then
existing, thereby remonetizing silver
upon ratio of Is to ! with gold
The reasons for this are innumer-
able. but the prime one is to loosen the
mold Of the gold monopoly now sapping
the very life blood of the people With
eHfer restored 10 It's inherited rights,

money. The international dodge is a
fraud. The United States has hereto

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms CT
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health.
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
