A CORNISH DUSTFALL.
Eruption of Krakatoa In 1901 Scat
tered Dust Ak Over Central
Europe.

In the course of a paper on 1.-THE
Cornish Dustfall of January, 1902, y
read before the Royal Meteorolog-
ical society at 20 Victoria street re-
Gently, Mr.. II. L. Mill said that since
the Krakatoa eruption i" 1898, 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
thicl<ly 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
over an area of 1000 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
quantity of fine dust, of which a
mere vestige 100,0 900 tons or
so-had been caught in it's fall and
carried to the shores of the channel.
There seemed to be little doubt thai
the farmers of the west of England
had this spring plowed many tons
of the sand of the Sahara into their
burrows

A NEW VEGETABLE SWEET.
south American Herb That May Ba
Used in the Place of Sugar In
Tea and Coffee.

A plant has been found in the north
ern part of Paraguay whose leaves
contain sweet substance. Small
pieces will have the same effect as a
large lump of sugar if dropped into q
cup of tea or coffee. The stuff is not
the same as sugar, though, because it
is much stronger and cannot be fer
mented. The director of the Agro-
nOmical institute at AsunciOn believes
that its chemical nature is different
from anything else now known. The
herb is a rather common one, and the
Germans in that part OF the world are
about to make some elaborate expert
ments in cultivating it for the market.
It is said to contain no deleterious
substance, but possibly the matter
has not been investigated sufficiently.
Fifteen or 20 years ago Prof. Remsen,
now president of Johns Hopkins uni
versity devised a method of manufac-
turing out of coal tar substance 300
times as sweet as cane sugar. He
named it "saccharin." It's use has
been recommended for victims of GER
tain diseases who are forbidden to
take sugar. Nevertheless, for some
mysterious reason. there has been
disposition in Germany to prohibit
" law the introduction of saccharin
into beer. Possibly the explanation of
This procedure is political, not scien-
tfic. Whether the Paraguay plant,
botanically known as Fupatorium re-
baudiarum. will eventually prove a
disappointment time alone can tell.

Fashion Hints for Winter.

The shirt. waist costume is essential to
perfectly appointed wardrobe, and
velveteen of good quality is desirable
for it's development.
Cape collars distinguish nearly all the
new coats and jackets.
Velvet has been the material par
excellence of the season, and it will un
doubtedly continue in favor.
The cloth costume will be prominent
feature of the Spring fashions, and white
mohair with silkv surface is promised
an unprecedent reign.
Crepe de Chine is the most artistic
material for evening gowns or those in
tended for semi formal occasions; but
many of the evening dresses are made
of chiffon and lace, and show narrow
borders of fur, chinchiIa or mink tail.
Lace becomes more and more feature
of fashionable dress, and leather has
an important position in trimmings this
season.

The great American trouble Is
indigestion, largely a result of the

Hastily swallowed meals are
probably the greatest cause of In.
digestion.
The stomach is given more than
it's share of work and IS weakened.
The first thing to do in correcting
the trouble Is to stop fast eating.
The next thing is to take a good
digestive tonic to strengthen the
digestion and enrich the impover-
ished blood.
Such a tonic Is Walther's Pep

Success of Phinney and his Band.

The reputation of Phinney and
his band became national during
his six months engagements at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition,
when millions of people, represent
Ing every country, listened to his
superb concerts.
Since that time the band has
played at nearly every large exposi-
tIon, national and political con-
vention and celebration. They
have given over five thousand con-
certs and travelled more than one
hundred and eightyfve thousand
miles.
Mr.. Phinney we'll deserves the
great reputation he has attained
and through his untiring efforts has
brought this band to the foremost
position In the hearts of the Amer
lean people. One secret of the
excellence of Phinney's band lies In
the fact that every member is an
artist, many of whom are ca
pable Of executing intricate
solos, and each member fully
understands what is expected of
them by their leader In every point
of phrasirg ahd tone. With mu-

thousand pieces, and experts EN-.
ployed In arranging new selections,
