DUST OF THE OCEAN.
Sea Fogs Are Full of Fine Particles

From the Los Angeles Times.
People laughed at the man who said
that the fish he had hooked Kicked up
such a dust in the water" Perhaps
they will laugh at the heading of this
article, hut there will be sea DUST"
nevertheless.
We have heard of waterspouts, of
showers of fish, of salt rain. and many
other curiosities which present them
selves in the atmosphere, but to assert
that there is such a thing as sea dust
is to transcend all reasonable bounds.
The evidence, however, in favor of it's
existence is exceedingly powerful-in"
disputable, in fact--and this is the
story told by eye-witnesses:
They say that in certain parts of the
world, notably about the Cape de Verde
Islands, there are constantly met at
sea, several hundreds of miles away
from land, thick, yellowish-red fogs,
not unlike London fogs i'm November.
These foGs obscure the atmosphere and
are very injurious to NAVIGATION hut
they have not the baleful odor of their
London prototypes, nor do they affect
the breathing in the same way.
While sailing through them it is

are covered with fine. impalpable
powder, which falls as dry rain and
covers the surface on which it falls
sometimes to the depth of two inches.
In color it is of a bright, brick-dust
hue, som atimes of light yellow, and it
feels between the teeth like fine grit,
sucl, as might be blown into the mouth
on a windy day in March.
No place is free from its presence, it's
fneness giving it power to penerate
everywhere. The sea, while the dust
is falling, looks as though it had been
peppered, and is discolored for some
distance down. Sometimes the dust
comes in a shower and passes off again.
The fogs are nothing but vast quanti-
ties of the dust suspended in the air.
1t is not only in the vicinity of Cape
de Verde that this wonderful dust is
seen. In the Mediterranean, on the
northern parts of Africa and in the
middle of the Atlantic it has been re-
ported. 1t is invariably the same in
kind and appearance, and examination
under microscopes has proved the
identity of Cape de Verde sea dust with
Mediterranean sea dust. All this is

Hurst and ROWdyism.

The attitude of the ST. Louis club on
the kicking" problem will be watched
with interest. as the team will be this
year managed by a former umpire.
Hurst. While umpire last year Hurst
Aned only two players. Hurst's expert
ence with rowdy ball players there
fore, should make a rather easy task
for umpires to work at st. Louis next
season. He has not said anything on
the question as yet, but it is safe to
say he will thoroughly sift the matter
before going on record as for or against.
Hurst is a believer in fair play for the
players and also for the umpires.
Manager Hurst has not yet decided
on who will captain the st. Louis
Browns. He has several players on the
club list who could successfully fill the
position, but the most likely one is
Dowd. Dowd stands we'll with Hurst,
and for this reason many believe he
will be appointed to head the team.

THERE WAS COLLISION.
brought to Light by Suit Against
nu Ix-IIusbaud.

By order of Judge Gunster a rule was
yesterday issued to omen judgment in
the case of Mrs Lena WadsWorth, for
lnerly Mrs. Lena Preese. against her
ex-husband Samuel \. Breese, whom
she has sued Oh a Judgment note for
5000. The rule to open judgment incl
dentally opened some very interesting
history, revealing among other things
that a divorce had been secured by
means not in consOnance with public
poiicy-to put it mildly.
Breese in his petition declares that
on Dec. 2, 1891 he and mis- wife, Lena
Breese, the present plaintiff. agreed to
separate. Articles Of separation were
duly signed, together with an agree
ment that he should pay her $500 cash,
give her n note for $500 and rot OPP
pose her petition for divorce. while she
was to release her dover interest in
a tract of land, situated in Carbonate
He paid her the $500 cash, did not
oppose her divorce which was granted
in August, 1892. and stool ready to
make good the S2a0 Judgment note, but
she refused to live up TO her part of the
bargain, in regard to the CarbOndale
property, and he in consequence re-
fused TO pay the judgment note.
She instituted the present suit to re-
cover on the note and he comes in
with the above as his defense. He
claims that the consideration for which
the note was given was illegal and
against public policy and at all events
she did not live up to her part of the
contract in which the note in question
was a part. lie also declares, by way
of offset that owing to his inability to
control a clear title to the Carbon dale
property he missed several opporLuni-
les of disposing Of il at a profit and
finally had to see it sold AT sheriff's
sale for much less than it's real value.

no land within some hundreds of miles,
nothing visible which could possibly
account for the curious phenomenon.
Sandspouts there are in sandy de-
serts and showers of sand taken orig

is no desert from which the sand can

whirlwind pranks, is light and steady.

Jimmy Michael, the famed cyclist
Will become jockey. The matter was
settled Wednesday in the rooms of the
Brooklyn Jockey club in New York.

sure to beat me in the end. for the
riding is very wearing. / want sonre-
thing to fall back on as soon as | find
that 1 am no longer first in wheel

He completed his request for a trial
as jockey by saying that he did not
propose to give. up cycle racing for
good until he was sure that he had in
him the making of a good jockey.
p. j. Dwyer without hesitation agreed
to give Michael the trial he wants. No
contract was made, and both Mr..
Dwyer and the bicycle champion are
at liberty to terminate the verbal con-
tract at will. Michael began his new
work yesterday.

The Times was substantially correct
last evening when it stated that a
change of management has taken place
in the Wilkes Barre and Northern rail-
read. Beside the election of John Gra-
ham as president to succeed John b..
Reynolds, John A. Schmitt was elect

the Wilkes Barre and Northern has no
alliance with the Wilkes Barre and

Sporting Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: would like to say a few words
In reference to a savage and uncalled
FOR attack in the Republican this morn
ing on Bobby Dobbs, who fought and
defeated Bob Kane in Music Hall We'd
nesday night. Dobbs has appeared be-
fore the California Athletic club, the
Twin City Athletic club of Minneapo-
lis, and many other notable clubs of
America and his record as q clean
tighter Is not surpassed by any pugilist
IN the country. BY reading the con-
clusion OF the Republicans article it
will be seen that Kane makes no COM
plant about unfair fighting on the part
of Dobhs.
The Knockout blow landed suuarely
on kane's mouth, cut his lip and dazed
him so that he was unable to control
his limbs. Kane said after the fight:
Il know Dobbs is a vicious infighter,
but 1t is in the game and would have
done the same had an opportunity pre-
sented itself"
Dobbs is a fighter. one of the best in
the world in his class I believe, but he
IS not brute nor does he act the brute
in the ring. 1t is manifestly unjust to
injure him by giving out the impress
sion that he is dirty" fighter.

Ambassadors Salaries.


1t is announced that DIR. Leyds is to re-
ceive Gl1,0O0 d year as representative of
the Transvaal in Europe. This salary is
greatly in excess of the amount which
Great Britain deems sufficient for any
one of her representatives in foreign
countries. Our most highly-paid ambas-
sador is the British representative in
Paris, though he receives little more than
half the sum Dr. Leyds is to draw-a
beggarly $4,000 Britains ambassadors
to Germany Austria-Hungary and Tur-
key receive $4,000 a year each. The rep
resentative in st. Petersburg has the
next largest salary, G7SO0; while GSOO
less is considered enough for the British
ambassador who takes UP his residence
in the Eternal City. For some reason,
known only to the diplomatic mind, our
representative in Washington is much
worse off, receiving but G6,500 a year.
though he has probably to work Ear
harder for his country The ambassador
to Spain receives 800, while the repre-
sentatives in China and Persia draw $500
each less. The heads of the legations in
Japan, Brazil and Egypt each receive
1900; but Lord Cromer has beside Gl,OO0
as a personal allowance" The British
agent at Pretoria, who is paid by the
colonial office, receives only G20O0 year.

surlmer trade opens. The cars are al
ready equipped with motors, etc, and
all that will be necessary will be to
string the trolley wire. This will make
the ride to the lake much pleasanter
The smoke and cinders from the engine
were always an annoyance, especially
when open cars were used. With the
introduction of electricity as the mo-
tive power the ride to the lake will be
made much more enjoyable
The handsome new hotel being erect

Many have commenced their winter

double'bights we're stopped on the
right side to go over mans shoulder
The end was slackened from the ship
and when two men jumped they were
hauled into the boat, A very fine
fellow named Olsen attended to this.
When all had gone but he and l, he
cut the line and we Jumped together.
1t was ipernaps 5:3O when we reached
the Merritt. While she was getting
the surf boat, the Vulcan slipped the
hawser Of the Infanta Maria Teresa.
l expect the wreck, dragging OFT to
port, brought all the strain on the
port bridge, and started the bits.
"When the boats we're In, the
Merit at my request, started TO speak
the Vulcan, but was unable to reach
her, and she apparently did not hear
our whistle. The Merritt then re-
turned TO lind the wreck, but could
not do so. The search continued
until I. p. IN. the following day, when
she headed for Charleston"
The greatest regret was expressed
in official circles regarding the loss of
the Maria Teresa. Acting Secrc
tary Allen of the navy said the loss
vas much greater than any intrinsic
value represented In the ship. She
was the link that connected the
great naval victory with the United
States. 1t was a sentiment bred 10
this country that succeeded in raising
her and IL was the wish of the whole
people that she should be brought TO
the United States. 1t was the gen.
eral impression about the state, war
and navy building that the loss OF the
Teresa would prevent any further
attempt TO bring any OF the other
vessels to this country.
IL is the opinion OF the navy depart
ment that the government has lost,
besides the value Of the ship herself,
only the amount Of the per diem OF
$500 per day through the sinking OF
the vessel, because the contract ap--
pears to have required the delivery by
the wrecklng company Of the vessel
at the navy yard at Norfolk.
