A Hunt Ktn mi In Simla.
A curious phenomenon occurred in
fiimla recently on two successive nights.
This was nothing less than a dust storm
lu tho midst of u downpour of rain, or
rather, to Hpcak morn correctly, n shower
f Intnl. A column of dust seems to
have been carried np into tho higher at
mosphere from the plains nnd to have
been caught nnd forced down by the
heavy rain. Iu the morning, as u result,
all the plants and flowers iu Simla were
found to have received a thick coating
of mud. There could be no doubt thut
the mud had lieen rained down, for it
wun freely sprinkled on plants away
from the hillside nnd nt a great height
from the ground. Moreover a deposit
of mnd was found In the rain gauges in
various parts of the station. It is a
common thing to see the atmosphere In
the hills din ing the hot season thick with
dust from the plains, carried aloft by a
strong wind. Uut the conjunction of
fain and dnst Is nn accident of which,
It is stated, there is no previous record.

J. C. Couch, who lives a milo south of
Fox PostomVe, has brought us what is
probably tlm smallest 6:iako ever cap
tured in R.iy county. It was caught
about two weeks ago by his stepson,
Theodore Jackson, nnd Is of the black
anako species. It is only three inches in
length, and nt the thickest p.-irt of its
body is only three-sixteenths of an inoli
In cirenmferpuee. It i it perfectly form
ed reptile, but with an extr.i largo head.
Jlr. Jackson accidentally killod it by
rpilling ii few drops of petroleum on it.
This snakd could not teach school or

The Sarreil Hook of Ceylon.
Tliero are three books regarded ns sa
cred by Duddhista of Ceylon. The first,
called tho Malmvanso, is tho most highly
venerated. It has been very carefully
handed down from feneration to genera
tion, the most ancient copies not vary
ing in tho least from those of modern
date. The Jlahavanso contains "Tho
Doctrine, Race iindLinenpreof Buddha,'
besides tho authentic unnali of Ceylon
cso Cuddhif in.
Next to tho Mahavnnso. in point of
veneration is tho "Learned Friest'a" his
tory of Buddha, called tho llaiaratna-
cari. This book also contains extracM
from other antique works, besides ft
record of tho erection of the various
temples nnd shrines of tho Island and .1
history of the l;iii23 from tho year Gil)
B. C. The third of tho Ceyloncse sacred
books is called tho IlajavaU or "Light
Giver;" it is 6imply a modem supple
ment of tho other two nnd brings the
records down to date. Tho main por
tion is given up to recording events in
Ceyloneso history since the advent of tho
the Dutch, especiul attention being
given to that portion of the work which
tells of the expulsion of tho Portuguese.

Silk Weaving by El ctrlclty.
An interesting trial has beer made In
Germany with silk weavers' looms
worked by electricity. By a cable of
100 feet in length, a one ho;. power
electric ihnnt motor, with 10O' is and
four amperes, was put in mo ion, and
the transmission for the weave;' looms
was restricted by a communicator to
eventy-two revolutions. Two wearer
looms were put in motion, tho result be
ing that the working by electricity was
mora satisfactory than that by means of
caloric engines or gas motors, and the
swinging mas-we, otherwise necessary
for tho working on a small scale, can bo
dispensed with. The Oerman paper
thick the results named show that house
industry conld easily be made to flourish
oytho transmission of electrio power,
and this all the more as electricity can
be transmitted equally well under any
temperature. Now York Telegram.

Ills One Foolish Art.
The young woman had secured per
mission to Kpeak to tho good looking
young c vict. It was just a feminine
fancy a desire to learn something of his
story.
"Yon don't look ike a criminal," she
said abruptly.
Ho smiled at tho rather uncertain com
pliment. "I never did but ono crimiual thing in
my life," he said.
"Only one?" she said, in rather a dis
appointed t'jne. She had expected to Cud
a man steeped in crime. "Why, your
sentence is for ten years, isn't it?"
" Yes, miss. 1 got it for thut ouo crim
inal act."
"What was tho cause of that one?" she
Inquired curiously.
'Just a whim, miss n youthful whim,"
ho replied rather bitterly. "I thought it
manly to carry a revolver."
"And you were attacked some night?"
she asked quickly. "And you"
He shook his head.
"And you're hero just for that?" sho
said.
"Like others, just for that," h? retnmed
quietly. "I quarreled with a friend, lost
my temper, and I'm here, miss. That's
all."
He suddenly turned awny and went
back to his work. Cincinnati Commer

II ow They Learned to Muke Tcrfumrs
What the French know about per
fuino malting is not all tho result of
their own experience. The traditionary
history of tho nrt is that tho Hebrews
imparted the little they know to their
captors, the Egyptians, who in turn
gavo their formulas to the Greeks and
Romans. The Moors then took n hand
nt improving these crude efforts, and
when they invaded Europe left their art
in Spain, whenco it soon reached Franco.
There it found its home and resting
place, nnd today no nation can compete

The Swamp Angel.
The Swamp Angel was an 8 inch, COO

the Federal troops in a morass on Mor;js
island, Charleston hnrbor, in 1SC3. Oa
Aug. S3 and 23 the city of Charleston,
five and a half miles distant, was
shelled, tho gun bursting at tho thirty
sixth shot. After tho war the Swamp
Angel was sold for old metal and con

identified, it was set np on a granite ped
estal at tho corner of Perry and Clin

For Ilonest Man's Rlgtata,
, That is a rather fine point of law which
holds that a man with burglar's tools on
Lis person, who goes np the steps of a
a dwelling houso where he has no law
ful business, has made an attempt to
commit burglary, but it is good law for
the protection of tho community. Tho
steps of a dwelling are private property,
and ono who trespasses upon them with
unlawful purpose has coinmitod an un
lawful deed. Philadelphia Ledger.
