FACTS ABOUT DUST-RAINS.
Some Scientific Studies Abroad of a
Phenomenon Lately Observed
in This Country,

Just before the dust rains which
occurred last month in Massachusetts,
New Jersey and elsewhere there were
similar occurrences over a large part
of central Europe, and in lesser de-
gree over most of the continent. In
fact, the phenomenon was very re-
markable for its extent, it having been
observed from Sicily in the south to
the Danish islands of Falster and Laa-
land, in the north. The largest amount
of muddy rain, however, fell in north.
ern Italy, Austria and Germany, says
scientific journal.
The fact is very well understood now
that dust rains caused by the driving
of clouds of dust raised by hurricane
or strong wind into a rain storm, the
dust thus being changed to mud by the
time it reaches the earth. Such storms
are called blood rains in Sicily and
some other regions where supersti-
tious people hold them in much dread.
Scientific men of Europe made
careful study of the dust rains which,
occurred there a year ago, and the.
facts they ascertained are interest
ing. Mr.. Stanislaus Meuniers analysed
sample of the dust collected at Pal
ermo which he found to consist of sand
(59.14 per cent? and carbonate of
lime (23.91 per cent?, together with
black particles of the nature of char
coal.
DR.. Hapke, according to La Nature,
has examined 20 samples of the dust
collected in different places; he also
notes the predominance of sand and
the presence of magnetic iron. These
eolian sediments had the color of the,
sands and rocks of the Lybian des-
ert; and DR.. Hapke, -who went into the
subject with the greatest care and
thoroughness, reached the conclusion
that the dust which had thus been
spread over Europe came from the
desert area in Africa situated in the
south of Tripoli and Tunis.
The volume of the sands carried on
the wings of the wind to Europe was
considera BILE. According to DR.. Hapke
the fall of dust in Taormina, Sicily,
amounted to As grammes per square
kiloneter; and in Corinthia to eight
grammes per square kilometer.
DR.. Hapke has just written a me-
moir on the result of his researches;
it is accompanied by map showing
the geographical distribution of the
dust. The eastern Alps, lying across
the line of the northern advance of
these dust clouds, were naturally COW
cred with particles. All the glaciers
and SHOWS on which the dust fell were
colored bright red; so were the
ground, the houses and the trees in

Prof. Richter, the well-known Aus
trian glacialist, has just called atten-
ton to the fact that this accidental
celebration of the Nsnow may be rem
dered useful in studying the move
ment of glaciers. 1t had been pro-
posed by students of glacial phenom-
ena to color part of the snow and
ice in order to follow more convenient
iy the transformation of the snow
masses into glaciers and the move
ment of the latter down the mountain
slopes. After coloring certain areas
it was intended to put them under OBJ
servation for a series of years; but the
fall of Saharan dust in the eastern.
Alps has rendered it needless to go to
the expense and trouble of coloring
the snow and ice. The natural color

that were waited across the Mediter-
ranean to find Judgment in the arctic

the snow that fell in the early part of
last year; thus it will be possible to

into the glaciers and will help to solve
the physical problems relating to gla-

A MARK FOR CUPID.
President of Bachelors Club Is Re-
cipIent of Many Tender MIssIVes.

Every mail that comes to Wauke-
gan, ILL.,, now is laden with letters
addressed in feminine chirography to
Louis ]. Woman, president of the
Waukegan Bachelors club. The news
has gone around the country far and
near that Mr.. Yeoman has been
chosen-or sentenced some say-to
be married during the coming year,
and for fear that Waukegan is not
large enough to furnish him a field
for the choice of bride the eligible
fair ones of nearly every state and
territory are calling the attention
of Mr.. Yeoman to the fact that, like
Barkiss, they ARE willing" If the
flood of missiyes keeps on coming in
anything like the volume with which
they have started Uncle Sam will
have to give the letter carrier on the
Woman route an assistant.
Some of Mr.. Yeoman's fair corre-
spOndents content themselves with
limiting that there is no necessity on
his part of looking far for a life part
ner, while others do not confine to
themselves hints, but bluntly confess
their desire to find man who will
wed them, and are certain they could
meet the fancy of an even more fas-
tidious man than Mr.. Yeoman. They
want to write to him, they want to
meet him, they are willing to come
TO Waukegan and encounter their
fate or they would be glad to have
Mr.. Woman come out their way and
drop in for a sociable chat over the
matter.
One young woman living near Chi
cago has written very interesting
letter, and after mentioning the
peculiar nature of the Bachelor
clubs proceedings, hints that she
would like to correspond with Mr..
Yeoman further. Whether or not
these letters will result in a match
remains to be seen.
1t may be mentioned that Mr.. Yeo-
man is a bright, good-loOking man of
30, a son of leading family, good
musician, and the owner of a fast
automobile. He is in the jeweIry
business with his father, and keeps
engagement and wedding rings con-
stantly on hand.

When Rhodes, Belt and the late Bar.
ney Barnato became life governors
under the original charter of the De
Beers company, they little thought
that the provision securing them q
fourth part of the profits after divi
dend of 30 per cent. had been paid to
the shareholders would prove in itself
a source of enormous revenue. In the
decade Immediately preceding the Boer
war this fourth part aggregated near.
ly $10,OO0,0OO, or 100000 a year. In
dividends upon his De Beers stock, his
interest in the great banking firm of
Jules Porges G. CO., afterward succeed
ed by Wernher, Belt & Co., and pre-
ponderant share in several enormously
lucrative mining ventures in the neigh
borhood of Johannesburg.
Not possessing an aggressive and re-
sistent personality Belt naturally fell
under the spell of Cecil Rhodes, whose
wealth was never more than a fourth
of his own. In the strongly marked in
dividuality of the Englishman the Ger
man recognized the very antithesis of
himself and readily submitted to a
leadership which he knew it would
have been useless to dispute. Like
many other money lords Belt has been
credited with working harder than any
of his employees and with leading the
life of an ascetic. All this is pure fic-
ton. He is not a hard worker, or at
least he has the faculty of accom-
plishing good deal without putting
forth any particularly strenuous eff
fort. He spends much of his time in
entertaining, in a quiet way, at his
house in Park lane and in riding and
playing golf. His offices are the finest
in London and when their quiet, unob-
trusive and diffident owner is there, in
his inner sanctum, he is an extremely
difficult man to approach. His staff is
said to be better paid than any other
in London.

Marcus lorenzo, an Italian painter
who fiOurished in the last century
once paid 200 francs for piece of hui
man skin no larger than a dinner
plate, upon which to execute a land
scape in oils. The skin, which was
chemically prepared to receive the
paint, was taken from the back of an
aged woman, whose body had been
sold to a medical man for dissecting
experiments. The human parchment
was drawn tightly over metal frame
and the artist spent nearly seven
months in producing painting that
was afterward exhibited in various

NEGRO'S BIG CLAIM.
Seeks to Maintain Rights in Inven.
ton Which q New York Road In


Granville I. Woods, a negro, of 323
West Fortieth street, has engaged
lawyers to maintain his rights Sc
cured by patents in devices to cleo
trically control the running of cars
on the Manhattan railway system
His claim affects the General Electric
Company, whose train control de-
vice is used on the cars of the cleo
trio trains on Second and Third ave-
nues, and the Sprague Electric Com
pany's "multiplunit' device.
Woods lawyers say his claim to
priority of invention is unassailabIe.
He is 40 years old and skilled me-
chanic. He worked out the problem
of the control of motor cars in 1896
and took the precaution to protect
his discovery by caveat. Recently
he received patents for the electrical
controller system, which, he says, IS
that of the General Electric Com
pany on the Manhattan cars, and
substantially that of the Sprague
Electric Company.
Woods values his patents at $4,000.
He is endavoring to effect a settle
ment with the General Electric and
the Sprague companies. If he fails
he will institute proceedings for in
fringement.
