Du.t.torm. that Bury Fore.t..

Travellers In Tibet describe the won
derful storms OF dust that occur in
Kashgaria, near the foot of the Kuen-
Lun mountains. The dust In the air is
sometimes so dense that complete dark
ness prevails. Occasionally rain falls
during such storm, but the raindrops
evaporate during their descent, and the
dust carried with them falls in Jumps.
Entire forests of poplar trees are buried
in dust hillocks forty feet high. These
deposits of dust are afterward moved
on by the wind, but the trees that have
been buried die, even after their dis
interment.

did it matter to them whether the
country was being divided up into
large or small holdings ?-that was a
question which concerned only those
who wanted to cultivate the soil,
raise stock or live in the grandeur
supposed to inhere in the possession of
many acres. But the irrigation propa-
ganda, and its corollary, the advocacy
of the small farm, have awakened
those classes to the fact that big es-
tates dwarf while small farms expand
their opportunities. In short time
the always powerful influence of oul
great cities will be solidly massed
against the continuation of conditions
which make possible the further multi
plication of big landed estates, and in
favor of laws tending to break up
those which already exist.

Vote by Pressing a Button.

New York Evening Post.-In adopt.
ing system of instantaneous voting
by the pressing of buttons the douma
has done what perhaps only a legisla-
tive body making an absolutely fresh
start could do. In our country such an
infringement on the sacred right to
dlibuster" has never been able to Sc
cure serious hearing. 1t is said
that an instantaneous vote recorded
for use in congress was one of
sons first inventions, but no legisla-
ture ever installed it. There are, OF
course, many good reasons for the
system of simultaneous mechanical
voting. More than half an hour Is
wasted every time the roll call of the
house OF represents tives is called,
while what we may now call the Rus
sian method combines the rapidity OF
viva voce voting with accuracy of roll
cali. 1t would doubtless still be resist
ed here, however, as another step to-
ward complete suppression of the
minority.

The Land specuIator.

The land Spectator is fond of view
ing himself as belonging to "the adj
vance guard of civilization "the
man who builds up the country"
But in the majority of cases he has
made the building up of the country
more difficult by fencing in the desir-
able lands. and so forcing would-be
settlers further and further onward,
multiplying the distances between
settlements and making transportation
many times more costly; isolaung
settlers and making markets difficult
of access. The country really owes
nothing to the land Spectator. Yet
he has been and is coddled by legis-
latures, which refused to tax his unim-
proved lands as highly as the improV-
ed lands Of the farmer, and thinks
himself i'll used if all legislation is
not directed to making his property
more valuable. 1t is time that he
should be everywhere held up as an
ircubus upon, not as benefactor of,
his country.

SENATOR ALGER RETIREs.

Senator Alger of Michigan has an
nounced his determination to retire
from public life at the end of his
present term. The senator has been
a persistent and fairly successful Of
fee seeker during a large portion of
a long life. He has held many state
offices, was an unfortunate member
of McKinley's war cabinet and after
ward secured his present position OF
United States senator. He was at
one time an unsuccessful candidate
for the republican nomination for
president, going to the Chicago con
vention with special train, brass
band and a strong following of boost
ers. The Michigan boodling scandals
which arose while he was a member
of the Mckinley cabinet led to his
early retirement and it has been
claimed that Michigan sent him to the
senate only to exonerate him from
this unpleasant reputation.

For the BEGINNER.

To make his flower garden con-
tinual delight, the amateur should
study the characteristics of the flowers
he grows and see that each serves a
purpose. If he loves fragrance, nocot-
lana affinis, with its abundant star
shaped white flowers, is excellent, and
a fragrant novelty which presents a
striking contrast to this is nocotiana
Sanderae, with deep pink, almost red
flowers. These above all are excellent
for borders, planted in front of taller
growing shrubs. For bed where a
mass of yellow is desired, golden Cali
fornia poppy is useful. 1t must be
sown where it is to bloom, as it does
not adapted for cutting. For side and
back fences clumps of single and
double hollyhocks in mass are good.
A flower which grows nearly as high
as the hollyhock is rudbeckia golden
glow, which produces a wealth Of
golden flowers good for cutting. 1t is
a good plan to devote the space in
front of one fence to dahlias and cos
mos, for these are sure to please the
most fastidious flower lovers. The
cactus and decorative forms of the
dahlia are becoming more and more
popular every year. The tubers may
be stored in the cellar in winter Like
potatoes. If there happens to be a
sunny exposure in the garden, plant
a few pompon chrysanthemums, which
are hardy. They will give an effective
display of tiny flowers in the autumn
The Drummondi phlox are exceedingly
pretty, low growing ANIMALS, exceed
ingly snowy in mass. In warm and
exposed situations they last but few
weeks in bloom.

SALMON WHEELS OF COLUMBIA.
How the Fish are Automatically
Scooped Up.


Scooped Up.
Day A. Whitney in Scientific Amer
ican.-The run" of the salmon in the
waters of streams entering the Pacific
ocean in the northwestern states cor
respond to a certain extent to The
movements of the shad from the At
lantic up such rivers as the Hudson,
the Susquehannah and southern water
courses. The Pacific salmon, however,
is much larger in size, and, as is well
known, forces it's way to the headQuar-
tiers of the stream which it enters, fire.
quently overcoming very swift cur
rent and leaping up waterfalls six
feet and more in height.
1t has been demonstrated by exper-
iments made in the United States fish
commission that salmon Matched out
on a. certain watercourse always re-
turns to it or to an adjacent water
course after maturity, and apparently
endeavors to reach the locality of it's
first home. Fish have been marked
to identify them and have been found
in or near the waters which they left
before reaching maturity. Frequently
the salmon is so exhausted by the
journey up stream, which is sometimes
hundreds of miles in length, that it
floats into shoal water and dies if not
captured. During the season of the
salmon run, it is fact that some Of
the creeks in the state of Washington
connecting with the sea have been so
filled with dead and dying fish that the
waters were polluted for the time
being.
Advantage has been taken of this
habit of the salmon to catch it with a
device which is exceedingly unique in
it's construction and operation. 1t
might be termed an automatic net,
since it not only catches the fish, but
delivers it into the receptacle from
which the salmon is taken to be pre-
pared for the market. The net is en-
ployed principally upon the Columbia
river where hundreds are in use, es-
pecially in the vicinity of the Dalles
and above this formation. AS the
wheel is operated entirely by the cur.
rent of the river, it must be placed
where the movement of the water is
sufficiently rapid to revolve it. The
salmon wheels are of two kinds, one
having a movable base and the other
fastened to the shore or to cribworl
projecting from the bank. The shore
wheels are by far the largest, some OF
them being fully so feet in diameter.
They are not perfectly round, but con-
sist of framework, which is usually
divided into three or sometimes four
section This framework is composed
of light but tough wood, the sides COW
cred with stout wire netting reinforced
with bands of iron. The rim of each
section is also covered with the same
material with the exception of a
place that is left entirely open. The
wheel revolves in the usual manner
upon an axle, but in each section is
placed wooden trough. This trough
is set at an angle, and projects about
a foot or so from the side of the wheel,
its lower end being directly over an
other trough which leads to the fish
collector This may be box or mere
ly a platform.

A Backyard Garden.

Sor the adornment of the city back
yard CT ordinary size, nothing is more
suitable than old fashioned mixed
borders, where anything can be plant
ed and a bouquet cut every day with
out the effect being spoiled. The back
yard of a city lot of twenty-five or
thirty feet is ample room for gar
den of those ANIMALS that are easily
grown from seed. If there is a little
grass in the yard, SO that strip can
be left on each side of the walk from
the back door, to the wood shed or al
ley gate, it will add to the effect. Dig
a border from six to eight feet wide
along the fence the entire length of
the yard. Leave the grass strips be-
tween the border and the walk, or
better still take up the sidewalk, and
make a bed down the center of the
yard. In a yard thirty feet wide,
there will be room for a bed three
feet wide down the center. If the
wood shed is unsightly, plant tall an
nuals, such as morning glories to
cover it. Too much cannot be said
about the proper preparation of the
soil. Dig the border deeply and break
all the large Jumps. If the ground is
sandy or otherwise poor, dig in a good
coat of we'll rotted manure and make
the surface smooth and even. A
garden should not be attempted with
the idea Of planting the ordinary an
nuals if the yard is much shaded by
adjoining buildings and trees. But
there are many plants that are fit for
shady places. The following ANIMALS
can be sown directly in the border.
Plant enough to make good display
of each: Asters, nasturtiums, Pc
tunias, mignOnette, candytuft, zinniag,
coreopsis, gaillardias, sweet peas. II
space permits, introduce a few of the
hardy perennials, scattered along in
clumps of six or more. Among them
are blue larkspur, peonies, phloX,
German iris, columbine, Ageratums,
geraniums, verbenas, heliotrope, dah-
las, gladioli, cannas and hollyhocks
may also be planted in the border. 1t
is also an excellent place in which to
plant old tulips, hyacinths, and other
bulbs.
