The Dust of Cities.

AS we approach the great centers of
population, says La Nature, the guam
tity of dust held in suspension by the
air increases enormously. According to
Sir James Crichton-BroWne, the air
of london contains 10000 proportion
al parts of dust to Paris 100000, while
in Argyleshire, Scotland, there are only
zoe. The air of cities is i~mpregnated
with dust and filth. To combat their
deleterioUs effects the streets should
be freely ventilated and watered. Wind
n rain are the great d~estroyers of
Dust.
The substances designated as "vari-
able" in the composition of the at
mOSphere, says in comment the SAM
tartan, are but feebly suggestive. From
the fields the wind lifts the debris of
vegetation-pollen, seeds, spores of
fungi and bacteria; the dust of the soil
silica, Silicate of aluminium, carbon
ate and phosphate of lime and peroxide
of iron. In and proceeding from VOL
canic regions fine particles of carbon
and dried mud are taken up and watt
ed hundreds or even thousands of
miles. In and round about cities and
w the finely ground dust Of the
paVementS, fragments of straw, hair,
stable manure, debris of insects, spot,
epithelia from floor sweepings or
shaken from rugs, carpets and bed-
ding, together with gases and other
volatile carnations from factories,
rendering establishments, abattoirs,
tan-yardS and compost heaps of all
sorts, though not of the air are in it,
in so much as to be in some degree
almost everywhere present.

and Phoebe Cary, who often visited
them at Bridgeport. To a friend the
famous Snowman once remarked:
Alice was the more thoughtful, while
Phoebe was always bubbling over with
good spirits and wit. I never knew

taking her and some friends through
my museum. At the head Of the stairs
was the cage containing The Happy
Family which included owls, cats,
mice, serpents and other creatures
generally mortal enemies, but all Iiv-
ing in perfect harmony, mainly because
we kept them so stuffed with food that
they had no temptation to prey upon
one another. The cage stood directly
at the head of the stairs and Just as
we reached the top a big serpent
reached its head toward Phoebe. For
getting the glass thickness that sepa-
rated them, she was so startled that
she uttered a scream and would have

for the race"
The above maxim was spoken by Jose
phine Dodge Baskam, whose engagement
to Seldom Bacon, q lawyer Of this city,
has just been announced
Miss DaSkam laid down her maxim in
an address to the Pilgrim Mothers at the
Waldorf-Astoria on Dec. %, 1902. Miss
Daskam's talk was in answer to a state
ment by Mrs. Lille DevereuX Blake, who
said that this country has $500, 900 more
single men than single women, even count
ing all the widows and girls Of seventeen.
Mr.. Bacon, who evidently found Miss
Daskam all that she said a woman should
be, is a graduate of Yale Of the class of
'S3. His home is in Minneapolis, and he
lived in Minnesota for ten years. Part Of
this time he was a professor in the Mime
