WONDERS OF DUST.
Is Kingdom is as BoundIess as the
Universe Itself.

Vast is the kingdom of dust. I'm
like terrestrial kingdoms, it knows
no limits. No oceans mark its
boundaries; no mountains hem it in;
no parallels of latitude and longi-
tude define it's boundless area, nor
can the farthermost stars in the in
fnitudes of space serve other than
as twinkling outposts of a kingdom
rs vast as the universe itself. And
what shall we say as to the compo-
nent subjects of this kingdom? In
number, form and variety they
transcend all conceptions of the
human mind; in shape they COM
prise every possible form; in posi-
ton they include every substance
that is material; in condition they
are solid, liquid, vaporous and
gaseous.
They are with us in the quiet Sc
clusion of our homes, in the busy
streets and marts of commerce, on
the sunlit crests of the snowy Him
alayas, out on the silent prairies,
mingled with the deserts shifting
sands, amid the ice of the frozen
arctic. They fall as ambassadors
from space on the clouds of canvas,
the wings Of the flying ships, thou
sands of miles from land. They
come to us enshrined in the beau
tiful snow crystals, and every drop
of rain carries with it from the up
per reaches of the atmosphere some
of these tiny subjects of the mighty
kingdom of dust.
Dust would not be possible were
it not for the fact that matter is
almost infinitely Invisible.
It has been estimated that an
average puff of smoke from a Gig
arctic contains about four thousand
millions of particles of dust.
A single grain of indigo will give
color to ton of water Of course
every drop of this water must con-
tain an immense number of ultra
microscopic particles of indigo. A
few grains of fuorescein, sub
stance derived from coal tar, will
produce a distinct fuorescence,
shining with yellowish green light
when strongly Illuminated, in 100
tons of water. To produce this re-
suit the fuorescein must be divided
into countless billions of particles.
Every conceivable substance en-
tiers into the composition of dust.
In street dust may be found bits Of
iron and steel from the tires of
wagons, horseshoes and the nails
of our own shoes, bits of leather
from harness, fragments of wood,
cotton, silk, stone, gold, silver,
clothing, paper, hair, animal ex-
creta, various ores, tin, paper, clay,

eraI Madero Sends Outline of His
Demands to Diaz Government.

Ell Paso, Tex, April 25.-It is
learned that If there should be need
of longer period than five days in
which to conclude peace the armistice
signed between General Navarro of
the federal forces and General Madero
will be extended from next Friday,
when the five days agreed on expire
Negotiations for peace have gone
just far enough to put each side in
possession of the outlines of the 9TH
ers' demands. General Madero has
known and sacredly guarded for two
weeks information as to what the gov
eminent will grant. He telegraphed
Mexico City the nature of his own
basic demands. Following this a long
telegram was received from the Mexi-
can capital, but no indication of it's
contents leaked out.
Most of the telegraph lines in Mex
leo are out of commission and nego-
tiations by wire are too slow and
words Of code must be used
For this reason both parties wish
to appoint ENJOYS with full power to
act. The naming of the ENJOYS, the
selection of meeting place and trav-
cling to it, it is thought, will require
more than the four days remaining of
the truce and hence the determination
to extend its duration if necess y.
Negotiations in Delicate Stage.
A member of the commission de
scribed the negotiations as being In
a very delicate stage where an I'M
diplomatic slip might spoil everything.
However, he added, eve have gone
so far now l am certain that no mat
ter what bitches may occur, basis of
peace will be reached"
Nearly ali of the Americans with
Madero, feeling that the fighting Is
over, are preparing to quit the paths
of war for the walks Of peace. Many
MeXicans, of the same opinion, ali
ready have made tentative applica-
tons for work in this country. Scores
of the rebels up to this time had never
been out CO their native mountains.
They gaze with awe at the tall build
1ngs of Ell Paso and are ambitious to
secure work on this side Of the border.
There is plenty of it for them in the
