THE USE OF OUST.
Am Important Factor la the Sam af Ila-
Camfsrt.
Those who hare not investigated
the matter are apt to be surprised
when they are told that dust is a rcry
important factor in our comfortable
existence. So useful is it indeed that
we could not very well do without it
and this thought bhould console those
who complain about the dustiness of
the streets and highways in summer.
In the first place we owe the beau-
tiful blue of the firmament to dust.
Were it not for its existence the
heaven would be blacker than we see
it on nights when the moon is hid le-
bind a cloud. The glowing sun would
during the dny shine sharply on thii
black hlackground. and the surface of
the earth would be characterized by
the same sharp contrast of intense
light and deep shadow. The moon and
stars would be visible by day and they
alone would not suffice to subdue the
sharp contrast
When we look at the moon through
the telescope we ascertain how the
earth would look were there no dust
for there is no atmosphere about the
moon and consequently no dust is sus-
pended in the air.
Our soft uniformly diffused day-
light for which our ej-es are specially
adapted is due to the dust ami the
beauty of the landscape as ran readily
be understood is also due in no small
part to the same despised article.
While it has been explained how the
dust makes the whole vault of heaven
light we have not told w hy it is chieI
the blue rays of the sunlight that are
reflected and the green yellow ami
red are at the same time only to a
small extent. The size of the dust
particles lias much to do with tins mat-
ter. The air currents only bear the
Wnest particles to everv stratum ami
these line particles which are of chief
interest in this connection.
The ether waves which constitute
the essence of the mechanism of light
sre microscopically small although
they vary in their smallness. -Many ol
the fine particles of dust are. large
enough to reflect the extremely short
blue ether wavrs but fewer are
eapable of reflecting the yel-
low and green waves while
still fewer are large enough tc
influence the long red ethereal
waves. Consequently the long red
waves pass through the greater ma-
jority of the dust particles without be-
ing reflected while the shoiter blue
waves aro intercepted and diffused at.
every point and hence become visible
It is for this reason that not mily
the
finest dust hut the heavens
them-
.'elves appear blue to our eyes.
This blue sky is most often found in
the country ami city residents will
naturally seek to know why it is that
the sky in their vicinitv has a whitish
or grayish appearance. This is he-
cause the particles have united and
are able to reflect the light in its en-
tirety. When there are a large num-
ber of large coarse dust particles in
the ;:r as is the cast- in the city the
sky has a whitish tinge. The sky is
bluest on the moujitain-top because
there the ait is so rarified as to sup-
port only the finest dust particles.
The sky would be almost black at n
great height if there were no dust
particles in Mipens-on. As we turn
our eyes to the lower strata of the air
towards the horizon we see it grow
pale.
The blue skies of Italy and the trop-
ies aie famous to all travelers or rea ti-
ers of books of travel. Why is it that
the skies there are bluer? Are the
dust particles finer? The answer is
"Yes.' Not that the dust that rises
there is liner but that in our climate
the dust is soon saturated with water
vapor which inal.es them coarser.
The vapor retains its watery charac-
ter ami titles not condense on the float-
ing dust. It is not condensed into
clouds until it readies much more
lofty and hence colder regions.
To. dust then we owe our fogs.

In winter everything would be covered
with a crust of ice. l"mbrellas would
not prevent us from being constantly

saturated with the water condensed
from the vapor which ha 1 fallen upon

"You will lie none the wor.ce" I said.

He came across sullenly enough ami
