II am in cordial and hearty accord
with the effort being made by the
American Legion to create an endow-

benefiCent work the legion has in

1T is easy. all too easy, for us to
forget the service rendered the Nation
in the time of great crisis.
The American Legion is great or
ganization whose purposes are firmly
patriotic, and with its now nearly
900, 900 members it is capable Of rem
dering a vast service TO the country.
Il believe the people of America

but to their finer enthusiasm for all
that the American Legion stands for, "

Counting the Air" :"

MANY instruments have been de-
vised for counting the number
of dust particles in samples Of air
Some rather startling statements are
heard, as, for example, that a
cigarette smoker sends 1000, ,000 900
particles into the air at every puff.
What this instrument actually
counted was the nuclei about which
condensation occurred in the forming
of an artificial fog, writes c. F. Tai
man Of the Weather Bureau in Nature
Magazine of Washington. 1t now
seems probable that a large proper
ton of these nuclei were too minute
to deserve the name of dust" most
of them being far beyond the range
of the microscope, and many, perhaps,
individual gas molecules.
Winds charge the atmosphere with
millions of tons of dust every year
and it is often carried TO great dis
tances before it settles to the earth.
In China an area of some 500 900
square miles is covered to a depth of
hundreds and even thousands of feet
with a fine yellowish soil called
'loess," which is supposed to have
been brought by the winds from the
deserts and dry steppes of central
| Asia.
In March, 1901, a series of dust
storms occurred in the northern Sa-
hara and the dust. after being whirled
| upward by cyclonic winds to a great
altitude, was eventually deposited
over most of western Europe TO a dis
tance of $500 miles from the place Of
origin.
| An elaborate study was made Of this
| "dustfall' by two meteorologists, who
estimated that not less than 800 900
/ tons of the deposit fell over the CONT
nent of Europe and as much more
| over the Mediterranean. On the Afri-
can coast the deposit is supposed to
have amounted to 10000, 900 tons.
| A reddish haze, due to the dust
| blown from the Sahara, is frequently
encountered by vessels in the region
| between the Canaries and the Cape
| Verde Islands.
| Volcanic eruptions sometimes spread
a veil of dust over a great part of the
| globe. The remarkable dry fog" of
| 1888, which prevailed for several
months in both Europe and North
| America. was the result of volcanic
! eruptions in Iceland and Japan
The dust that hung in the upper
| air for some years after the outbreak
of the East Indian volcano Krakatoa
| in 1888 was responsible for gorgeous
sunset glows and other optical phe-
| nomena observed in this country and
elsewhere.

Both of them seemed to be from the

When questioned as to which side
the Marquesas Islanders would come

not regard that as a matter Of prime
importance.
He was convinced. however, that a

A Hookworm Remedy.

THE United States Public Health
Service has announced results of
experiments which prove that severe
cases of human pellagra can be either
prevented or cured by means of dried
yeast. Surgs. Joseph Goldberger, G.
A. Wheeler and w. F. Tanner, after
the successful treatment of 25 out of
26 patients, were led to this discovery
by following another disease in dogs.
Black tongue, a bacterial disease with
somewhat similar effects on the skin
as are produced in severe cases of
pellagra, also bacterial infection, was
produced experimentally in dogs. Then
the dried yeast was given. The cures
were SO satisfactory in the cases of
the dog disease that the Public Health
Service surgeons tried the yeast treat
ment on pellagra patients. AS early
as the second or third day after the
treatment beneficial effects were
noted.
