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. — Pittsburg Post.

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.
