A DESERT SANDSTONE.
Experience of a Woman Traveller
While Crossing Sahara.

Experience of a Woman Traveller
While Crossing Sahara.
What it means to encounter a sand
storm in the desert Of Sahara is de-
scribed by Mrs. Palmer Thomas: Few
things bring such a sense of utter
powerlessness as Il desert sandstone,
and | shall never forget my experience
of one. Our dragoman one day sudden.
ly called our attention to a d~arkening
horizon line. 'See,' he said; sandstone
comes. No man will ride in SUCH We
had barely time to dismount and make
the camels kneel in a circle on the
sand before the storm was upon us.

peaks of his saddle and crouched with.

beast. knowing what was coming.
turned her long neck right round and
laid her head on my knees, seeking the
protection of my cloak for her eyes
against the sand, which, driven by the
fury of the wind, struck the face like
powdered glass.
But l looked out upon the scene a.
long as I could, watching what appear.
ed to be n mass of brown gauze wells
streaming up across the sky, d%arkenine
the sunlight and gradually blotting out
everything from our sight. An icy
wind preceded the cloud. increasing in
intensity every minute until the sound
of it's roaring made ones OWL voice
inaudible. while the darkness became
hat of densest night. And so we sat
until the hurricane abated. Then, look.
ing out again. saw the brownish
mass Of cloud flying before the wind
away toward the Nile, some forty
miles distant. and the cloudless blue OF
a March sky in Egypt once more over
spread above us.
"But the legs Of our beasts were all
covered with the sand that had fallen,

and hat and was thick upon us. For

SILVER KING OF THE SEA.
The Feats That a Tarpon Viii Per-

If o have never seen a tarpon I'M
agine the Mediterranean sardine that
you take from the box for lunch
heightened out to six or even feet.
Give 1t two enormous staring black
eyes. a supercilious lip Of the most
grotesque shape coming down and
twisting up again, a mouth that a

feet distant when the fish is in the air
you can see blue sky down its throat
and out through the arched gills. Give
the fish a greenish back and a long
spine at the dorsal, a powerful sardine-
like tail and equip Its belly and sides
with scales which look more like new
" minted trade dollars than anything
else. dollars often twice their natural
size. into which the purest molten sill

the full glare of the sun form SO many
ssunbursts to dazzle the eye and con-
fuse the excited angler.
I have taken the .'sabalo' under va
rious circumstances and have seen it
leap along the outer Florida reef and
down by the Rio Grande. where it
forms in gigantic schools and moves
south in winter, and everywhere it is
the same sensational equilibrist. the
same air climber and sky scraper when
hooked or shared. What the sensations
Of the tarpon are when hooked it
would be difficult to say. but l fancy
it is frightened and leaps in the direc-
ton away from the pain center. and
no two leaps are alike.

WHALES AS RAMS.

Cases Where These Marine Monsters
Have Attacked Vessels.
While cruising in the south seas the
wha1er Essex on Nov. 20, 1920, was flu
riously attacked by a cow sperm whale
supposed to have been the mother of a
calf which had just been %harpooned.
The whale had not been wounded her
self. and her attack was very deter
mined. AT her first rush she passed
under the Essex and carried away a
great length Of her false keel. Then.
coming to the surface a considerable
distance away, she appeared to take
bearings and deliberately charged the
vesse! again. ramming her with such
violence that she stove in the bows.
while the ship rolled so heavily that
the captain thought she must be dis,
mantled. The case is memorable be-
cause the crew had to abandon the
vessel. and one boat was never heard
of again.
A more singular instance of a whale
attacking Il vessel occurred in 1885.
The s%ingularity lies in the fact that in
the case of the Handa Isle the attack
was entirely unprovoked. This vessel.
a %brigantine OF EGO tons. was on her
way to Sydney with a cargo of timber.
On Aug. -. about noon Il couple of
sperm whales rose very close to the
vessel and. while the crew watched
them sporting, across her bows. the
pair suddenly slued around and came
straight for her. One thought better
of it and dived below the Handa Isle.
The other struck her fair and square
on the beam. crushing in her timbers.
Having rammed the ship in this reso-
lutte fashion. it si1eered off. terribly
damaged about the head. and present.
~ sank tail first.
Fortunately there were some pack
ages of rawhides on. board, and the
crew We're able to keep the vessel
afoat with the pumps until & rough
and ready collision mat had been fash
ioned out of these and drawn over the
leak.-Bailey's Magazine.

ceiling is painted sky blue, and there
are little electric lights set to look like
stars. Also there are the clouds aoat-
ing about. but then there are the vines
that kill the otherwise yery neat IL

RAISED HIS WAGES.
The Way an Employer Got Square
With a Faithless Assistant.

10 q II Inv
A story is told in Milwaukee con-
corning an elderly German who con-
Quoted a good sized manufacturing
plant ON the south side. He had an
engineer at his factory who had been
with him for fifteen years II the old
gentleman had implicit confidence in
him. 1t was with a profound shock
that lie discovered finally that the
trusted engineer was grating" most
shamefully.
The proprietor thought 1t all over for
q long while and then sent for the en-
gineer. When that functionary arriv.
ed the following dialogue took place.:
"Ah, John! Good morning. John. How
long hat you been working by this
placer"
Fifteen years"
Zach, SO. And vot are your wages!'
twenty-five dollars a week"
"M-m-m. Veil, after today it will be
IS a week more"
The engineer thanked his employer
profusely and withdrew. A week later
the old gentleman Sent for him again,
and the same conversation ensued,
ending with another So a week raise.
The third Saturday he sent for the
engineer again. and after the same
questions and he raised his
salary another S. n week.
On the fourth Saturday the engineer
was again summoned before the boss.
How long have you been working
here. John?" asked the proprietor.
Fifteen years." replied the engineer,
who by this time had grown to expect
the weekly question and salary raise
as a regular thing.
And how much wages are you get
ting"
"Forty dollars a week"
Zach, so? Veil, you are fred"
"Fired!' exclaimed the engineer, al
most fainting. why, you have been
raising my salary So at a clip for the
last three weeks"
Sure | have" roared the Teutonic
boss. all his indignation faring out at
once. And the reason that l did it
vas that it shall make it harder for
you for when | fire you. you loafer!"-

Women of the kurds.

As to the way the Kurds treat their
women. an Asiatic traveller says;
They neither veil them nor Impose
upon them heavy manual labor. Their
women are we'll clothed and are free
to ride abroad. bully their husbands
and express their opinion in public af-
fairs with as loud a voice as any suf-
fragist could desire. To see a woman
of sixty upright as a lance and with ii
good figure is not uncommon. and
