Cinders from the Chicago fire Of 1871

They are said to have reached the
Azores some 40 days after the begin
ming of the catastrophe. On october 25
and 26, 1929, q dense smoky haze pre-
vailed in the South Pacific Island of
Niue. Subsequent investigation showed
that the smoke came from bush fires IN
Australia, 1900 miles away. In Eu-
rope the once common practice of
burning the moors to prepare them
for cultivation gave rise to huge
volumes of smoke, which was carried
hundreds and even thousands Of
miles.
During the past few years the most
remarkable cases OF daytime darkness
reported in the United States have
been in connection with duststorms.
Most of the famous dark days" in
American history, however, have been
the result of forest fires, and the terror
they sometimes occasioned was due
to the fact that the veil of smoke was
confined to the upper air-often above
a layer of clouds-so that the cause of
the uncanny darkness was not directly
apparent.
The most celebrated of st.ar aAy'
was May 10, 1850, when. IN conSH
quence Of great forest fires along Lac
Champlain and down TO the vicinity Of
Tconderoga, darkness like that Of
night prevailed in New England. AL
but the most necessary business was
suspended, the schools were dismissed
and most of the population focked to
church to prepare for the end of the
world, believed to be at hand. Whittier,
in THE Tent on the Beach," describes
this wonderful darkness, when
Birds ceased to sing, and all the
barnyard fowls
Roosted; the cattle at the pasture
bars
Lowed and looked homeward; bats
On leathern wings
Fitted abroad; the sounds Of labor
died;
Men prayed and women wept; all
ears grew sharp
To hear the doom-blast."
The great Idaho forest fire Of August,
1910, was responsible for daytime dark
ness over q larger area than in any
other case on record on this continent.
Artificial light was required during the
day over q broad belt extending from
Idaho to Northern Vermont, but smoke
was observed far beyond this area The
British ship Dunfermline reported that

the Casa Grande ruins Of Arizona owe
their present dilapidated condition
mainly to the sapping of their walls by
sand-bearing winds.
An interesting function performed by
the sand-laden winds of the Sahara is
mentioned by Prof. E. F. Gautier in o

1.-THE Tuaregs, good Moslems though

Of water is partly responsible. But it
can be readily perceived that for a
human body exposed almost naked to
the desert wind for an entire. lifetime
the rites of cleanliness are superfiu-

sand, scours the human skin and keeps
it as clean as it does the slabs of naked
rock on the tops of the plateaus.

Of a Nebraska farmer during the Sum-
mer of 1894, when severe duststornls
were making history on our continent.
He had recently plowed field. The
soil was dry and powdery as result
of drought. but it was, in normal
weather, extremely fertile.
The wind secured up nearly all the
surface soil above hardpan. A total of
something like 10000 cubic yards was
blown to a neighboring farm and
spread over a meadow to an average
depth of six inches. At last accounts
the man from whose farm it came was
wondering how to get it back. He
estimated that to do SO would take
about 500 days of hauling at the rate
Of 20 wagonloads a day. Moreover, the
legality Of this procedure was doubtful

Our greatest North American dust
storms have often been surpassed in

South America, Charles Darwin says:

there are no solid rocks, is 50 great
that during the famous drought Of
1827-30 the appearance of the land,
which Is here unenclosed, was so COM
pletely changed that the inhabitants
could not recognize the limits of their
estates and endless lawsuits arose."
On April 1926, 1928, q great storm
ragged over the dry steppes of southern
Ukraine, blowing up such dense clouds
of dust that day was turned into night.
Such events are known on the Russian
steppes as black storms" Informa-

"HE big dust storms that have
darkened American skies so
frequently during the last three
u or four years are an episode,
and minor one, in the perennial story
OF atmospheric dust.
The world has had dust storms for
ages. The most gigantic Of which we
have any knowledge occurred in the
declining stage of the last glacial
period, when the vast glaciers that had
invaded the temperate zone were
gradually withdrawing to higher lati-
tudes. The air over the ice was very
cold and in Summer its temperature
contrasted strongly with that Of the
air over the ice-free lands farther
south. Such contrasts tend to pro-
duce strong winds. Hurricane blasts,
sweeping down from the glaciers,
picked up enormous quantities of the
soil left bare by the retreating ice and
carried 1t far and wide Eventually
this dust settled down to form the deep
beds of fine powdery soil called 'loess,"
now covering hundreds Of thousands Of
square miles in the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys and still larger area
In China.
Dust gets into the air from several
sources. The largest part of that
found in the lower atmosphere is blown
I'D from the soil. Another quota con-
sists of salt, resulting from the evapo-
ration Of ocean spray and often car
ried far inland. Plant and animal life
contribute great variety Of solid ma
terial to the atmosphere and this Is
carried far by the winds. When the
Lindberghs made their historic flight
over Greenland they collected organic
matter from the air along their route
and scores Of different kinds were
found.
Smoke from chimneys, forest fires
and other sources charges the atmos-
phere with SCOT. Explosive eruptions
of volcanos spout fine dust to great
heights, from which, as it is too high
to be washed down by rain, it takes
months or even years to settle to the
earth. Still higher levels are supplied

I'm THE dust storms of recent years
= clouds Of dust blown up from the
ground have been encountered by
aviators flying miles above the earth.
How does the wind raise particles Of
soil to such heights? And why should
st raise them at all?

horizontal stream over the earth, 1t
would drag the loose soil laterally but
would not Lift it. Instead Of thus fiow-

Thus the wind blowing over loose soil
churns it up and makes the lower air
dusty. More extensive lifting Is the
result OF strong air currents that

The most disastrous sandstorm IN
history was the one that. according to
Herodotus, destroyed the army of
SO, 1000 men sent by the Persian King
Cambyses into the Libyan Desert to
seize and pillage the Temple of Jupiter
Ammon. There are several other
ancient accounts Of whole armies and
cities being annihilated by clouds of
desert sand, and even our present-day
encyclopedias assert that large cara
vans are sometimes thus destroyed, but
men who know the African and Asian
deserts well believe all such tales to
be gross exaggerations.
MOTORISTS in our Western States
have witnessed the remarkable
sand d-blasting effects Of duststorms in
destroying the transparency Of their
windshields, and similar effects are
familiar in all regions where strong
winds frequently carry large volumes of
sand and dust. It is said, for exam
pie, that the telegraph wires along the
Trans-Caspian Railway were reduced
in 10 years to half their original diam
eter by blowing sand. Destruction of
