Some of the newspapers OF the
Cherokee nation in discussing the
merits of candidates for chief to be
elected in August, have condemn
ed some because they were not
smart enough. All right to have
smart men; but the great need of
the Cherokees just now, is good
men-honest men, whom the peo-
pie can trust, and in whom the u.
S. government can have conf
dence. One great trouble with the
Cherokee nation in the past was
that some of its officials were as

sEApusT..


People laughed al the man VINO
said that the fish he had hooked
Kicked up such "a duet 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 ipdisputa-
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, yell
lowish red fogs, not unlike London
fogs in November. These fogs OBJ
scure the atmosphere and are very
injurious to navigation, but they
have not the baleful odor of their
London prototypes, nor do they at
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 bright,
brick dust hue, sometimes of light
yellow, and it feels between the
teeth like fine grit, such as might
be blown into the mouth on windy
day in March.
No place is free from its. presence,
its tineness 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 i'll a shower
and passes off again. The fogs are
nothing but vast quantities of the
dust suspended Ill the air.
II 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 1t 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 whereon 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 calm five knots an
hour.
1t is believed by scientific men
that the dust clouds of Central
America are, in all probability,
closely connected with the phenom.
