THE FREAkIsH WIND.
Franks II Has Played With Smoke
Dust and Grain.

Dust and Grain.
During volcanic eruption IN the
Hawaiian Islands the smoke rose to
a height of between five and SIX
miles and then drifted away to the
northeast. At distance OF 600
miles it settled on the surface OF
the sea and was then carried back
by the northeast wind to its place
Of origin, where it arrived fort
night after its original departure
and covered the entire group OF Is
lands with its heavy pail.
Not long ago steamer was on
her way along the north African
coast from Asia to ENGLAND and had
entered the Galita chanTl between
the island of that name and the
coast of Tunis when fine dust be-
gan to darken the air and soon
afterward to fall on deck. Some OF
this dust was collected and subject
ed to chemical analysis IN Europe;
Its constituents proved that it had
been carried high in the air from
the Sahara desert and had finally
dropped into the Mediterranean.
More extraordinary still was a
dust shower that fell in Hungary
some years ago. Analysis showed
that this dust was identical with the
sediment of the Nile. The dust
was believed to have been brought
by the wind all the way from Egypt
