ORIGIN Of some OF the Dust.

Dust is to Il large extent product or
human activity. In houses and work
shops. on the highways and in the
streets-evervvh where there is wear and
tear of things, and the product is al
ways dust. The wearing and cleansing
OF our clothing are continually break
ing up its tihcrs into minute particles,
and tho friction Of clothing on the skin
carries away the scales of the epidor-
mis-. which are constantly being shed
and renewed.
Every contact Of human feet, horses
| hooiS and the wheels of vehicles VITA
! paving ana road materials wears awaT
particles of iron and stone. The effects
of the weather and the alterations OF
cold and heat disintegrate all exposed
surfaces. To these particles. which
form the dust invariably present IN
dwellings aud in the streets, there must
be added the innumcrablc minute cehJ
| of vegetable origin necessarily tloatinS
: in the air. and on a complete view the
dust produced by the Sintegration OF
meteors By contact with our atmos-
phere must also he mentioned.
Dust accordingly consists OF portions
of all substances. organic and morgan
ic. which decay by natural processes
and are reduced to powder by any
means whatever. Few of its Constltu-
cnts can be recognized by the naked
eve. The microscope alone can detect
the nature of many and especially those
of the greatest importance.
