Autumn Haze.

Autumn haze" says meteorologic-
al expert IS dust composed of the. fin
est particles Of soil. dead leaves, smoke
or ashes from wood fires. salt from
ocean spray, the shells or scales from
microscopic siliceous diatomssgerms Of
fungi spores Of ferns, pollen of flow
ers, etc. In the still air Of damp nights
these dust particles settle slowly down.
and the morning air comparatively
clear. During the daylight the: sun
warns the soil, which heats the ada
cent air. and the rising air currents
carry up the dust as high as they go.
Under certain conditions this layer Of
dust reaches higher and higher each
day. During long, dry summers in In
dia it reaches to height Of 1000 feet,
with a well defined upper surface that
is higher in the daytime than at night.
The reason why we have more of hazy
weather in autumn is because there is
then less horizontal wind and more ris-
ing air.

Carlyle in his ..Sartor Resartus' was

gracefully fastened on to the thick

on little matter Of business a day OF

no horses and very little money hired q

lMAIilY Canl,iib balls Eat Men,.

All children who are now going to
school have read about how Mr.. Stan
ley went into the jungles of Africa to
hunt Mr.. Livingstone, of whom most
all treated him very kindly. Now that
Mr.. Stanley no longer travels IN the
dark wilds OF Africa, there are other
men who do go, and sometimes meet
just as strange things as did Mr.. Stan
ley.

Woelfe1l. which recently went into
the same country, the dense forests
back Of Ivory Coast, in West Africa,
found number Of cannibals of differ
sent tribes. They live only about 120
miles back from the coast, and are
near French post, and it is strange,
too, that they are 50. near, for canni-
balls have seldom been found in
Africa SO near the coast. As a rule,
they dosnot live within 500 miles Of
thesocean, and most of them stay still
further away.
When the white men who were
with Mr. Woelfeu found these strange
black men, and asked them why they
ate human flesh instead Of beast
flesh, they replied that men usually
wash themselves three times day,
and, therefore, are much cleaner than
beasts, which aresnever washed. =
These natives have guns and can
get powder from IBERIA, but as lead
is most always hard toget, they often
use stones and gravel IN place Of
bullets.
