DUST IN OUR EYES.
W? at Times Collect Cvrlow Tklagi
Without LookfuK For Then.
Few people are aware, says Fred W.
Saxby tn the Strand Magazine, that
we are all constantly "collecting" curi
ous things without looking for them:
In the very act of looking up at the
Booting spectacle of a fiery orb the
reader with the big, wide open eyes
may easily receive In one of his own
orbs a tiny sphere from afar that was
produced In a glowing streak of light
like the one he Is admiring.
Meteoric dust is ever falling and up
on all parts of our planet The little
spheres hare been found upon the
decks of ships far out at sea, in all
the deserts of the earth and on the
tops of snow clad mountains. Dredg
ings brought up from the silent depths
of the ocean give testimony of their
universal presence. The particles all
contain iron and are easily collected
by the magnet from the roof of any
outhouse or other place exposed di
rectly to the sky.
Seafarers are sometimes pelted with
dust of quite a different kind, compos
ed of the microscopic flinty skeletons
of beautiful plants called "diatoms."
These tiny plants live In both salt
and fresh water and occur In enor
mous numbers In some localities. Oc
casionally skater courses and Inundat
ed areas dry up, and the flinty shells
of the diatoms which grew there are
blown about as dust There are sev
eral Instances on record of diatoma
ceous dust falls at sea. During the
thickest part of the fall the sailors
have experienced much pain In their
eyes, the Inflammation being caused
by the little flinty shells.
SECRETARY SEWARD.
HI* lolnraK I'pon the For*i*ti Pol
Icy at TUla Coonlry.
The Importance of Secretary Sew
ard's Influence In the domestic affairs
of the United States during Johnson's
administration has probably been ex
aggerated, but It would be hard to ex
aggerate the Importance of what he
achieved and of what he Initiated In
bis own proper field of diplomacy. His
chief, occupied as he was with fierce
controversies over other subjects,
found, we may well suppose, but Uttle
tluie for foreign relations. He does not
apjivar to have Interfered with policies
which were already adopted or to have
initiated any new policies of his own.
Seward must therefore be held respon
sible to a degree somewhat unusual
for the conduct of the delicate negotla
tionj. involving very far reaching con
sequences, which the war gave rise to.
It was he who first presented America
to Europe In that attitude of conscious
strength which the thorough establish
ment of our nationality nt last enabled
us lo take. It was he who reasserted
effectively, yet without any arrogance,
our traditional stand In reference to
the Latin republics tj the south of us.
It was he who. facing westward, ac
complished an expansion of our sys
tem into a region never contemplated
until his day by those who guided our
destinies and turned our thoughts up
on the shores of the Pacific as a field
for American trade and American In
fluence. ? William Garrott Brown In
Atlantic.
The Pole Star.
We will try to give you some Idea of
the distance that separates us from
the pole star. As yon know, light
travels at the rate of about 186,000
miles a second? more than seven times
round the earth while you are saying
"John Robinson" slowly. Well, sup
pose that a ray of light, traveling at
this terrific speed of a million miles
in less than five and a half seconds,
had started from the polar star on Its
journey to the earth at the moment of
your birth that particular ray will not
reach you until you are more than
halfway between your thirty-sixth and
thirty-seventh birthdays. When yon
look on the pole star you see It not
as it Is today, but as It was about fifty
years ago.
An Australian Treat.
A treat In an Australian wilderness
eauip is thus described by an explorer:
"On our way down, of course, it was
necessary to stop at McLeod'8 camp
to get something to clear the bronchial
tubes. There was one great Scotch
man among the party, who said, when
I aOted him what his poison was,
'Weel. I'll just take a tin of fruit' He
had a tin of pineapple. Now, the price
of preserved fruit at that time and in
such a place was something to make
you sit up, so that Scotchman scored."

yellow gold dust, how mountains are
white with mountain gouts and sheep,
how the beach of Skagway hart or is

ished shells, which form a semi-circle
of rainbow tints, how thousands of
acres of timber land surround the city
in which grows the valuable Alaska
cedar, and telling people to cut their
tales short and come to Skagway,
Alaska.
At the store of J. Ikuta, the optician,
on Broadway, they take gold nuggets
off the trees and mount them into pins,
rings, chains, bracelets, and other use
ful jewelry; shells are made into useful
jewelry and ornaments that are beauti
ful to look at: they evea tear off the
horns of the mountain goats and sheep
and make napkin rings, drinking cups,
toothpick holders, match holders and
other useful articles; Alaska cedars are
made into plaques with views of Skag
way and different places of interest and
very artistic burnt work. All of these
things are manufactured in a skillful
manner. Don't fail to call and see
these nice things and remember that
this is the place at which to buy prizes
and holiday presents.
