THE DUSTY MISSISSIPPI.
A Theory as to Concomitant of
Travel on Father of Waters.


The Mississippi river is the dust
lest road in the whole country" said a
man who travels on the river a great
deal, and if you don't believe it put
on a white shirt some time and make
cruise up the river a few hundred
miles. Really, no thoughtful man
would be stupid enough to question
the statement if he had ever had any
experience on the river.
Il was reading an article some time
ago about the dust of the sea, and
from the description given of the fine,
dry sediment which falls from the
damp mist of the sea | am inclined to
think that the deposit is not in it
with the dust of the Mississippi. The
water of the river is charged with
fine PARTICLES The heavy particles in
the water do not leave the surface ex-
cept to sink at some point where an
obstruction diverts the current and
causes a temporary poise. 1t is this
condition which forms the immense
bars, or sand banks, which we find
along the river. These formations are
due altogether to the resistance en-
couhIered by the currents OF the river
Mind you, the heavier particles of the
river figure III these formations. me

Il have heard great many men ad-
vance the IDEA that TINS aust was
blown from the sand bars and banks
OF the river during the dry season
But there is nothing in this claim
which will explain satisfactorily the
constant settling of dust on the boats
plying the Mississippi. 1t blows into
the cabin, settles on the deck, and is
just like any other kind of dust which
one may find in an ordinary road dur
ing a dry season. There is this differ
cnce that it is possibly not so dry,
and hence has a greater cohesive

attention to this question of river dust

more attention. 1t may be pure or i'm

dust can be very pure. How this
