Dust Whirls.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A correspondent speaks of a curious
dust whirl which he saw In Kansas.
The whirlwind moved from the north
west to the southeast. 1t was in every
way similar to the ordinary Whirlwind.
including the straight wind which ac-
companied it, except that, instead of
one circular wind, five small whirl-
winds circled aruond common center.
They ran south along an eight foot
Usage orange hedge. Each eddy was
simply miniature whirlwind in form
and velocity, whirling on it's individual
axis, and also in the common axis to
the right. They were about Is feet
high. They ran few rods and vanish
ed. These whirls were undoubtedly due
IN part to the presence of the hedge
since similar whirls are met with in
the rear of every obstacle, and part to
the hot, dry surface of the ground,
since every mass of air that is made
hotter than it's neighbor rises and car
ries the lightest dust with it. These
dust whirlWinds are common in India,
especially during the dry season. Some
times slowly-moving whirlwind, in
stead of appearing as a simple column,
is composed of several distinct worthless,
each one rotating on its axis at it re-
wolves around in the whirling circle.
A an-shaped train of dust is attached
to each separate vortex. This remark
able sight is said to give the idea of
fairy dance around a ring and the mo-
tions are exactly initiated by the dane
ing dervishes of Turkey. one of whose
holy exercises is to spin round and
round like a top, singly or in company
with others, and at the same time gyra-
ting around in a general circle. Prof.
r. W. Wood has initiated these phe-
nomena artificially, using fiat metal
plates about a yard long and a foot
wide, covered with sand BY heating
the plates the air above the sand be-
comes warmed and produces mirage
effects, but, under the influence of
greater heat, beautiful little whirlwinds
of ascending hot air can be seen run
ning about the surface, and carrying up
the fine silica powder that is scattered
upon the plate. When sal ammoniac IL
used instead of silica, dense clouds of
white Vapor quickly arise, and perfect
miniature tornado of dense smoke, about
two yards high, is presented. This ex-
pertinent shows exactly how eddies
and whirls of dust are formed on the
hot plains of Kansas.

HIS TROUSERS SPOILED
Judge McHatton's Exciting Ex-
perience at Nine Mile.
TWO FRACTIOUSS: HORSES
a Singletree Became Loose-The Colts
Thoroughly Frightened Plunged
Into the Lake-A For
tunate Outcome.

Judge j. j. Mediation and family
had quite an exciting experience at the
Nine Mile house yesterday, and but
for cool heads and good luck the in
cident might have had an unfortunate
ending. They We're hauled into the
lake by pair of fractions horses, but
fortunately the greatest damage done
was the spelling of pair Of trousers
for Judge Mediation.
The party was composed of Judge
and Mrs. Mediation and Mrs. McHat-
tons sister, and started out in the aft
ernoon for drive in a carriage from
the Lavelle stables. When near the
Nine Mile house. only a few yards
from the lake, a singletree came loose,
and dropping down, struck the near
horse on the heel The horses were
colts that had not been handled a great
deal, and when the singletree struck
the heels of the near one he became
unmanageable, and being loose from
the rig, swung around the off horse.
The reins by this time were hopelessly
mixed, and the driver had no control
Of the horse still attached to the car
riage, and despite his best efforts to
prevent it, the horse swung to the right
anu pClilS ITlSNleHeu,
plunged into the lake, taking carriage
and occupants with him. The bank
of the lake slopes gently, and by rea-
son OF this the carriage was quite a
distance from shore by the time the
driver succeeded in unloosening the
horse, and the vehicle stopped in four
feet of water.
During all the excitement Judge Nc
Hatton sat perfectly cool and request
ed the other members Of the party to
follow his example. The vehicle was
a clash top hack, with the top down,
and as the water came up in 1t, the
occupants coouy got up and sat on the
backs of their seats. Finally when the
vehicle stopped Judge Mediation got
out and waded ashore in water up to
his waist carrying the two children.
He was returning for the ladies when
Manager j. r. Boyce of the Nine Mile
house seeing the predicament the la
dies were in, sent a boat to take them
to shore. The hack was not damaged,
and no one was at all injured, exceat
Driver James Scallon, who got slight
ly bruised trying to get control of the
horses after they got into the water.
The party walked to the Nine Mile
house, none the worse for their expe-
rlence, barring, Is stated, Judge Me-
Hattons trousers, but it was an ex-
ceedingly fortunate outcome of an am
pie opportunity for serious accident.

FAR-REACHlNG EFFECT.
Shipment of Arms From China to the
Insurgents stopped.

Washington, Aug. 6.-Hon. John
Goodnow, consul general at Shanghai
has rendered a decision, as referee in
the consular court, which will be of
far-reaching Importance during the
continuance of the war in the Philip
pines. The case was in relation to the
steamer Abbey, charged with taking
arms from Canton to the LuZon. 1t
has been in contention for some time.
The owners of the vessel gave bond
that the ship should land the arms pur-
chased at Singapore, but she did not
do so. The bond was Cemanded by the
Chinese authorities. Mr., Goodnow
holds that it must be paid. The i'm
portance of the decision is pointed out
by the Shanghai Mercury, which says:
THE effect of the decision of Mr..
Goodnow reaches much beyond the
mere fact of being Judgment for the
plaintiff, with the penalty following
and the cost of the suits. Hitherto the
American forces at Manila have had to
fight against Filipinos well armed with
modern rifles and guns, and it is no
secret that the majority of these arms
have been landed in the Philippines
from Chinese ports. When United
States consular officials have received
information that cargoes of weapons
We're about to be shipped from China,
their urgent protests to the Chinese
government have been a means of
stopping it. But when the United States
officials, through want of knowledge,
have been ignorant of such contraband
runs, the Chinese officials have likewise
been blind to these shipments, though
no doubt well aware of such. 1t is
in this respect that Mr.. Goodnow has
gained a point
The North China Daily News pub
fishes the decision of Consul General
Goodnow in full. and comments edi-
torially upon its Importance, and says
that it will be far-reaching in it's eff

Kicked Him in the Back.

johannesburg, Aug. 6.-The negro,
who is a blacksmith by trade was
leading horses from his forge on Fri
day morning when three mounted po-
licemen appeared and demanded that
he show his pass. They used abusive
language, The negro produced a pa
per proving him to be an American
citizen and protested against the abu-
sive language. Thereupon the police
men dismounted, knocked him down
and kicked him in the back with their
spurs.
During the afternoon DIR. Matthews,
TO whom the American consul had
sent the negro for medical treatment,
exhibited nine spur wounds to the
crowd that gathered outside the ex-
change. A dramatic scene ensued. DR..
Matthews harangued the people, ap-
pealing for justice, and accused Field
Cornet Lombard of being concerned.
A warrant has been issued for the ar
rest of the policemen. Lombard has
submitted an affidavit denying that he
was involved in the assault.

imperial government and the Dominion

both the regular military and militia

Coming at this time when the relations

soon be the home of more than treble

men than are now quartered there.
Some of the additional garrison has

Madrid, Aug. 6.-The supreme court
martial, before which Generals Toral
and Pareja have been on trial, charg-
ed with surrendering Santiago to the
American forces without having cX-
hausted all means of defense, has ac-
quilted both officers on the ground that
they acted upon the orders of their
superiors and only surrendered when
it was impossible to do otherwise. The
judgment severely censures those in
high command in the colonies and in
which is held responsible for the lack
of resources for the defense of the
colonies. 1t was rendered by a major
ity of one vote only, and is not well
received by the press and the public,
who wanted a clearer exposure of
