from the Senator later in the day and
marched to the Ferry depot where an
elaborate breakfast was served in their

Dust W birts.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

FROM Inc 81. LOUIS NluDt-DemOcrat.
A correspondent speaks of a curious dust
whirl which he saw in Kansas. The whirl-
wind moved from the northwest to the
southeast. 1t was in every way similar to
an ordinary whirlwind, including the
straight wind which accompanied it. ex-
cept that instead of one circular wind
five small whirlwnds crcled around a
common center. They ran south along an
eiShJ-foot Usage orange hedge. Each eddy
was simply a miniature whirlwind in form
and velocity, whrlng ON its individual
axis, and also in the common axis to the
right. They were about fifteen feet high
They ran few rods and vanished. These
whirls were undoubtedly due in part TO
the presence of the hedge, since similar
whirls met with in the rear of every
obstacle. and in part to the hot, dry sur
face Of the ground, since every mass of air
that is made hotter than its neighbor rises
and carries the lightest dust with it. These
dust whirlwindS are common in India es-
pecially during the dry season. Sometimes
a slowly moving whrlwind, instead of APP
pearing as IA simple column Is composed of
several distinct worthless, each one rotating
on Its axis as II reVolVeS around in the
whiriing circle. A fan-shaped train of dust
is attached to each separate vortex. This
remarkable sight Is said to give the idea
OF fairy dance around a ring, and the
motions 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 gyrating around in
a general circle. Prof. r. w. Wood has i'm
itated these phenomena 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 becomes
warmed, and produces mirage effects, but
under the influence OF greater heat beau
ufui little whrlwinds of ascending hot air
can be seen running about the surface. and
carrying up the fine silica powder that is
scattered upon the plate. When sal am
I1oniac is used instead of Silica dense
clouds of white Yapor quickly arise and a
perfect miniature tornado of dense smoke
about two yards high, is presented This
experiment shows exactly how eddies and
whlris of dust are formed on the hot plains
of Kansas
