SEA DUs
Ocean Fogs That Are Full of Fine Par
ticles of Yellowish Powder.


ticles of a Yellowish Powder.
People laughed at the man who
said that the fish he had hooked
kicked up such a dust in the wa
ter Perhaps they will laugh at
the heading of this article, but there
will be sea dust nevertheless
We have heard of waterspouts, Of
showers of fish. of salt rain and
many other curiosities which pre-
sent themselves 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 its existence IS
exceedingly powerful = indisputa-
BILE, in fact-and this is the story
told by eyewitnesses.
They say that in certain parts of
the world, notably about the Cape
de Verde islands, there are constant
ly met at sea. several hundreds of
miles away from land, thick, vel
lowish red fogs, not unlike London
fogs in November. These fogs OH
scure the atmosphere and are very
injurious to navigation, but they
have not the baleful odor of their
London prototypes, nor do they af-
feet the breathing in the same way.
While sailing through them it is
found that the ship, sails and rig
ging are covered with a fine, i'm
palpable 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, sometimes of light
yellow, and it feels between the
teeth like fine grit, such as might
be blown into the mouthon a windy
day in March.
No place is free from its presence,
its fineness giving it power to pene
trate everywhere The sea while
the dust is falling looks as though
it had been peppered and is discolor-
ed for some distance down. Some
times the dust comes in a shower
and passes off again. The fogs are
nothing but vast quantities 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,
in the northern parts of Africa and
in the middle of the Atlantic it has
been reported. 1t is invariably the
same in kind and appearance, and
examination under microscopes has
proved the identity of, say, Cape de
Verde sea dust with Mediterranean
sea dust All this is very remarka-
ble-dust falling in clouds, no land
within some hundreds of miles,
nothing visible which could possibly
account for the curious phenome-
non.
Sand spouts there are in sandy
deserts and showers of sand taken
originally from spots wherein the
carrier wind has left its mark, but
here there is no desert from which
the sand can be drawn, and the
wind, so far from being boisterous
or disposed to play whirlwind
pranks, is light and steady, blowing
ships along at a calm five knots an
hour.
It is believed by scientific men
that the dust clouds of Central
America are, in all probability,
closely connected with the phenom-
enon of sea dust.

LOCATING A CCUPLET.
A Familiar Quotation Ascribed to
Butler Is Placed.

A Familiar Quotation Ascribed to
Butler Is Placed.
Few popular quotations have more
engaged tha IsnS CT critics than the fol-
lowing:
Fer he that fights and runs away
Will live to fight another day.
These lines are almost universally
supposed to form part of "Hudibras, :"
and so confident have even scholars been
on the subject that in 1884 a wager was
made at Bootle of 20 to that they
were to be found in that inimitable
poem. Dodsley was referred to as the
arbiter, when he ridiculed the idea of
consulting him on the subject, saying,
"Every fool knows they are in 'Hudi-
bras.
George Selwyn, who was present,
said to Dodsley, "Pray, sir, will you be
good enough, then, to inform an old fool,
who is at the same time your wise
worship's very humble servant, in what
canto they are to be found?'
Dodsley took down the volume, but
he could not find the passage. The next
day came, with no better success, and
the sage bibliophile was obliged to con-
fess 'that man might be ignorant of
the author of this we'll known couplet
without being absolutely fool" But
Ter has indeed two or three passages
somewhat similar. The one that comes
nearest is the following, in 'Hudibras, -
book 3, canto 8, verse 243:
For those that fly may fight again,
Which he can never do that's slain.
The fact, however. is that the couplet,
thus enormously ascribed to the author
of Hudibras, occurs in a small vol
ume of miscellaneous poems by Sir John
Mennes, written in the reign of Charles
u.-EXchange.

TRYING TO GRAB LAND
SOUTHERN PACIFIC BUCKING
THE LAND OFFICE
THE OVERLAPPING GRANT
Two Score or More Of Applicants Are
Campsd at the Land o@ce-Little
Chance for Trickery

The Gardner & Zellner block was the
scene of much exctteme ut yesterday. owing
to a number of people who had camped IL
the corridor adjoining the United States
land office, waiting for this morning, when
they can present their claims to land which
was restored to the government under the
recent decision of the Federal supreme
court in the case of the overlapping At
lantic, and Pacific land grant. Some Of the
applicants have been there since Saturday
night, having reliefs who come every four
hours and change places with them.
The Southern Pacific has hired a number
of these people to enter on land which that
road has had in sight for some time past.
The officers Of the land office, however, do
not think that there 10 any chance for
monkeying with the right Of bona fide set
tiers, as the government has provided for
their having the first say as to perfecting
their titles. Experts Of the land office also
state that the amount Of land which had
not been taken by bona fide settlers
amounts to little or nothing. The land office
officials are furthmermore credited with
having stated that no trickery or attempted
evasion OF the provisions made for the pro-
lection Of landholders will be sustained by
the land commissioner. It IL thought that
the Southern Pacific has probably few Sec
tions Of land IN view which they see an
opportunity to grab, and avail themselves
Of this chance to do 30, but what they can
get by these means will not amount to
much and will not avail against the right
Of any individual who has any prior claim
to what they may seek to take.

TREATY RIGHTS
Germany Wants a Reduction Of the
Tariff

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-The government,
through DR.. Won Holleben, German ambas-
'Eador to the United States, has demanded
that the same tariff decreases granted to
France In the recent treaty shall be ac-
corded to Germany under 1.-THE most ia
vored nation" clause.
A strong reply by John A. Kasson, spe-
cial reciprocity commissioner Of the United
States, refuting the claim tas been pre-
scented to DR.. Won Holleben and q copy Of
1t has arrived here.
America contends that the most favored
nation clause" does not apply.
Germany claims the treaty Of 1923, whose
terms include the clause. is still valid, as
the United States by silence has agreed
thereto, and that 1t never was vitiated by
the treaty Of 1858.
Foreign office officials here decline to ex-
press an opinion on the subject at present,
but will give one later on.
Herr Vosberg Recow Of the central bu-
reau for the preparation Of commercial
treaties, admitted today in the course Of an
interview that the most favored nation
clause had been violated repeatedly by
both Germany and the United States. and
th0t It was doubtful whether the clause
should be held He also admitted that the
German empire did not take over all treat
les of foreign nations with Prussia.

A MINING EXPERT
Says the Dawson Gold Pockets Are
Already Worked Out

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Capt. John
McGafrerty. ex-collector Of customs for
Alaska, a mining engineer by profession.
has arrived here from Dawson City. His
summing up CT his experience is that the
gold placers Of Alaska are short-lived and
that there are no true fissure veins in that
territory. because the country Is too much
broken up, and because the geological in
dications are such as to warrant the con-
viction that there is no gold-bearlng quarts
"in place." Large broken deposits" Of gold,
or bonanzas, may be found there, but they
will be Of the nature Of pockets and win not
last.
The most surprising opinion expressed by
him is that the present diggings are on the
point Of being worked out. and that many Of
them have barely paid expenses.
