THE FREAKISH WIND.
Pranks It Has Played With Smoke,
Dust and Grain.
During a 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 a distance of GOO
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 a fort
night after its original departure
and covered the entire group of is
lands with its heavy pall.
Not long ago a steamer was on
her way, along the north African
coast from Asia to England and had
entered the Galita channel between
the island of that name and the
coast of Tunis when a 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,
a pretty long journey for a shower
of that description to accomplish.
It must have been a high wind
indeed that brought a shower of
wheat on one occasion to the vil
lagers in a place on the southern
coast of Spain. The wheat fell like
rain. There were so many witnesses
of the occurrence that it was impos
sible to doubt that it had appeared.
But for some months it could not be
accounted for.
Then came the other side of the
story. It was learned that shortly
before this fall of wheat some farm
ers near the northern coast of Mo
rocco had been thrashing wheat
with flails when suddenly a tornado
swept over the ground and carried
all the wheat and chaff on the
thrashing cloth into the air. The
cloth was swept away by the storm;
and the farmers fell to the ground, |
but were not injured. When the
storm had passed they were horri
fied at discovering that the result
of their labors had totally disap
peared. There seemed little doubt
that the wheat that fell in Spain
was that which belonged to the Mo
roccan fanners. It had been blown
clear across the Mediterranean. —

His Defense.
llow sweet is the innocence of
childhood!
Tommy Jones, aged seven, and
his mother were invited to tea by
Mrs. Brinks. While the meal was
being prepared Mrs. Jones wander
ed about the two yard square gar
den and admired the weeds.
Presently the absence of her
cherished Tommy alarmed her, but
shortly the truant reappeared con
tentedly munching a huge slab of
cake.
In her relief, as is usual, Mis.
Jones began to upbraid the lad.
“Thomas/’ she said, “I’m afraid ;
you’ve been greedy gnd asked kind ,
Mrs. Brinks for that cake.”
But*the boy faced her fearlessly. i
“Oh, no, mother,” he replied, “I i
wouldn’t be so rude! I waited till i
she turned her back; then I snatch
ed a piece!”—London Mail.
