A CORNISH DUsTFALL.
Eruption of Krakatoa In 1eo1 seat- tered Dust All Over Central
 Europe.

In the course of paper on stThe Cornish Dustfal of January, 1902" Dead before the Royal Meteorolog- ica1 society at 70 Victoria street re- gently, MT. H. R. Mill said that since the Krakatoa eruption ir 1888, when the volcanic dust thrown into the air made itself apparent for many months all over the world in long series of brilliant sunsets, the most remarkable instance of far-traveled dust was that which occurred in March, 1901, reports the London Telegraph. In Italy the rain fell so thickly charged with red sand that the peasants took it for blood and became panic-stricken. For three days the dust cloud travelled north ward over central Europe, substan- tial traces falling as far north as the Danish islands, and instances in which it reached parts of England and Scotland had been recorded. A large quantity of similar dust fell about January 21 last in Cornwall over an area of 2,000 square miles, and the conclusion seemed to be that about his time the atmosphere over the extreme west of Europe con- sisted of air which had come from the African deserts, carrying with it 8 quantity of fine dust, of which a mere vestige-some 100000 tons or so-had been caught in it's fall and carried to the shores of the channel. There seemed to be little doubt that the farmers of the west of England had this spring plowed many tons of the sand of the Sahara into their 3urrows.

"A TRIP TO CooNTowN."

Persons who like the dashing, effer- vescent coIored show will find plenty of enjoyment in "A Trip to Coon town," which comes to Polls this and tomorrow evenings with special matinee tomorrow. As already noted in these columns the leading man of the organization is the noted Tom Brown, who made such a great suc- cess in vaudeville at the Jacques last season. What Francis Wilson and Frank Daniels are to recognized comic opera so is Tom Brown to that rag time revelation, A Trip to Coontown." This colored comedian is uniquely original in method, possesses the in- stinctiYe spirit of fun, and his every move and saying is productive of un-. restrained merriment. The prima donna of the organization, Mile Ma varo, has been truly termed the Lil- liam Russell of the coIored stage Strikingly attractive in form and fea- ture, she is moreover possessor of a voice whose every note is linked with sweetness. The other members of the cast are exceptionally talented, while a large chorus rejoices in the rich dusky beauties all it's own. There will certainly be fun enough in .tA Trip to Coontown'' to satisfy every showgoer. Prices are popular and for the matinee tomorrow special rate of 25 cents will prevail for all parts of the house.

LITTLE SERGEANT MAJORS.
Aquarium That Flock Together
 Like Chicks. $

Among the tropical fishes lately re- ceived at the aquarium from Bermuda were 20 or more little sergeant ma- jors, two or three inches in length, which will flock together precisely like little chicks, and with the same confident fearlessness, says the New York Sun.
 Let them be scattered through the water in all parts of their tank and let somebody tap gently low down on the outside of the glass and the whole bunch will come a-scurrying, as fast as their fins can drive them, all CT owd- ing in together as near those finger tips as they can get.
 What draws them so, whether curi- osity or hunger, or what, they all swarm at the call And as little chicks will run, moment later all together to another part of the field at the old hens bidding, so will these little ser geant majors rush together again moment later, at second gentle tap uing on the glass.

have some food on hand, and they slip out to get what they can, but the main sustenance of the bear is the accum- ulated flesh of the summer. But am inclined to believe that the snake can hold the record when it comes to doing without food. I had an experience, a few years ago which convinced me of this fact. I caught rattlesnake in my henhouse in the southeas stern part of Arkansas, and happened to catch him so that he could not get out. There was a good-sized rat hole in the place, and he darted into this as last resort. stopped the hole so the snak ke could not get out, and for the pur- pose of starving the reptile to death. I never thought anything more about the snake until more than IS months after that, when I had occasion to make some repairs about the place. It was necessary to do some excavat- ing. l was simply startled to find short distance below the surface the snake had sought to starve to death. He was a little lank, and was not very active. But he was still alive. I felt sorry for the reptilian, and would not kill him, allowing him to crawl away. Since that time I have been convinced that snake could do without food for considerable length of time, and the claim that they c..A 20 21 months does not startle me at ala

ONLY "A GIRLS PURSE.
The Dainty Receptacle Contained Variety of Things Almost EquAe

Poems and stories used to be writ ten about the infinite variety of arr ticles to be found in boys pocket. Girls do not have pockets-so much the worse for them-but the things they stow away in their pocketbooks would put boy to the blush, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. A girl emptied her purse the other day. 1T have to clean it out" she explained, s.every once in awhile, just as I do my bu- reau drawers" These are some of the. things that were in it: Two one-doI- lar bills, 50-cent piece, two quarters, f1ve-cent piece Qead) and ten pen- nies, s'lucky" Italian coin, a Japanese pocket piece" two receipts, three bills, parlor car check, four street railway transfers, five mutilated stamps, pencil stub. matinee coupon, three keys, newspaper clippings and a cleaners check for gloves. That was not at all an unusual case. Almost any girl can match it.

APPENDICITIS IS NOT NEW.
But the Doctors Did Not Know 1t.

"Why is it," asked man of a phy- sician, .sthat so many people are suf- fering these days with appendicitis and have to be operated upon, when there was formerly nothing of the kind in existence?" according to the Chi- cago Chronicle.
 My young friend" the doctor an swered, sthis disease has been in the world ever since Adam was-perhaps that story of his losing a rib may have arisen because he was operated upon for appendicitis. When your grand father was boy bis neighbors had it all around him, and so they did when you were boy. But they called it inflammation of the bowels, stomach ache, acute indigestion, liver trouble or something of that sort. The pa tienth got well or he died, but no one ever opened him when living to see what the matter was. Perhaps it is as well that they did not, fer much of the surgery of those days was more dangerous than any disease"

 Gained SIS in cash, besides mort- gages amounting to $40,000. The man who found it was Charles A. Stuck rath, a guard on the Union loop at Madison street and Fifth avenue.
 At five o'clock in the afternoon Stuckrath, passing through the car, espied the portemonnaie and picked it up. When he saw what was in it he notified the officials of the road. About six o'clock the owner of the lost property entered the general of fees of the Union loop in the Fisher building and excitedly told of her loss. She was referred to Stuckrath and hurried to his station.
 "I think it may be yours, madam, ; said the guard when she had de- scribed her loss, sbut you must first identify it.'' sfs
 Tt is mine! Oh, Pm so glad!' she said when she had proved ownership. Then she took a tight grip of the bag, calmly. opened it and carefully selecting dime from within it's folds gave the coin to the guard.

Civilized Birth Rate.

Turning to the births, which num- bered 927 ,e62 in 1900, the most promi- nent fact that meets us is the conttn- ued decline in the rate. This is the more significant when taken in con nection with the increase in the mar riage rate. The fact ''g1ves furious1y to think" We are in the habit of speaking of the French as decadent people, who have ceased to increase and multiply. But the truth is that a declining birth rate is not peculiar to France. It is with us also, and with the Germans in less degree. In some parts of England the birth rate now periIously approximates to the death rate. Taking the country as 8 whole, we have still substantial difference. but if the present tendencies continue to operate that difference will not be obvious long. It would seem that the more advanced the civilization the greater the disposition to sterility, and one of the most potent factors in the South African problem is the re- markable fecundity of the Boers as compared with our own race.-Londcn News.
