DUST IF IOM SAHARA DESERT.
Camille Flammarion, French AstrOn-
Omer, Talks Of the cred
Rains" in Italy.

Camille Flammarion, the famous
French astronomer, speaking of the
orange red clouds and rain observed
in Italy, says: "The atmospheric phe-
nomenon observed in Italy is not OF
mysterious import. Popular credul-
ity attributes to red rain sinis-
ter significance. The rain, however
portends neither earthquake nor any
catastrophe whatever. It is simply
the reddish dust from the Sahara
desert, lifted high into the air by
cyclonic whirlwinds and carried
among the clouds by upper air cur
rents as far as Sicily and Naples.
Sometimes it has been carried still
farther.
Scarcely year passes that l do
not receive little package of this
kind of dust, sent me by observers
living long way from Africa.
Though very curious, these red
rains should brighten nobody. They
deserve, however, the attention of
the meteorologist as showing the
strength of tempests. This dust is
extremely fine. Sometimes it is dis
seminated in clouds spreading over
thousands of square miles, represent
ing . considerable quantity of mat
ter borne on the wings of the wind"

EIGHTH GRADE NOTES.
fRv Otto RrOWpall)

The pupils of the highest grades
have been having some very interest
ing lessons in ElementrY Astronomy.
First the Solar system was taken
up. All the planets studied and then
the greatness of the suns heat: for
an example take solid Shaft OF ice.
two miles wide and as thick and let
it extend from the earth to the sun
and let a track for railway train be
put On it, and then il a Grain running
at the rate Of one mile minute be
started on this track it would take it
one hundred fifty years TO reach the
sun. But il all the heat of the sun be
turned on this shaft of ice and rail
road train they would be melted in a
few seconds the rails and other metals
of the train would pass off in yapor.
After the Solar system came the stars
and consultations. The situation in
the Heavens, of the principal ones
were found, as the Great Bear, some
times called the Great Dipper will be
found in the northwest nearly to the
zenith at o'clock p. m. In this
group are found the Pointers with
which the North star can be found.
The Guards are two stars, all that is
visible of the little Dipper. can be
found almost directly over the mouth
of the big Dipper" so that one dip
per always empties into the other.
The Constellation Onion is found in
the southwest and near it, to the
east, is found "Canis Major" mean
ing the Great Dog. In this Constella-
tion can be found ''Sirins" the "Dog
Star" which is the brightest star in
the Heavens. 1t is situated in the
shoulder Of the dog. MARS" is a
planet of the solar system and is
fourth in place from the sun. 1t is
found in the southeast and is easily
distinguished by its being of red
color.
Comets were next studied. ''Euke"
the little comet which comes around
the sun about every thirty-three years
was studied. 1t was this comet
which led to the discovery of the
planet Uranus. Once it was delayed
some time from its regular time of
appearing at a certain point and
astronomers looking to find out what
caused this delay found the planet
Uranus. The new star which was
found in the constellation Persus has
not been found by our class because
OF the lack of telescopes. By many it
is thought to be the famous old 'sstar
OF Bethlehem" which disappears and
reappears at intervals OF many years.
