The Dust of Ocean.

A "dusty" ocean highway sounds al
most incredible. Yet those who are
familiar with sailing ships know that
no matter how carefully the decks may
be washed down in the morning and
how little work Of any kind may be
done during the day nevertheless II the
decks are not swept at nightfall an
enormous quantity Of dust will quickly
collect. Of course on the modern
elmer" the burning Of hundreds of tons
of coal every q hours and the myriads
of footballs daily would account for a
considerable accumulation Of dust, but
on wind jammer," manned with a
dozen hands or less. no such dust pro-
ducing agencies are at work. And yet
the records of sailing ships show that
they collect more sea dust than does a
steamer, which is probably accounted
for by the fact that while the dust
laden smoke blows clear Of the steamer
the large area Of canvas spread by the
sailer acts as a dust collector.-Mari-
nor
