- THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1870. TEE DUST OF THE 00 J! AX. Captain Ayer Adams contributes lo a New Bedford pair his views about the trade winds, and relates a very curioni experience vith desert dust which he wot with thousands of miles from sea: "In looking over the text-books n?ed in our school, trtating on pbyninal geography, there seetus to be a laok of information in regard to the natural forces working to sup. ply this nouutry with rain. Thinking that iny unusual experience in that direction may be of some value, I havo here made a state ment of tLe main facts for publication: "Having passed several years of sea life on different oceans, in search of whales, a por tion of my voyages have beon Hpcnt in the Atlantio Ocean, especially in the belt of the northeast trade winds, whero a section of them sweeps over a breadth of oeaan and sea, on a truck over one thousand miles wide of latitude, ond a length of over four thou sand miles of longitude, reaching from Africa to Mexico, crossing the Wo.-t ludia Island and a portion of Florida. "While cruising in this belt, ofT the coast of Afiion, I often experienced a warm, dry wind, from the desert, always accompanied with a fine yellow dust, as light apparently as smoke, which I have known to extend a third of the way across the ocean, and po dense at times as to make the navigation dangerous around the islands off the coasf ; while the hefct of the desert winds, converted into ocean trades, was often scorching to vegetation on shore, besides causing a great evapo ration on that part of the ocean, prob ably the greatest ever taken from any other portion of the globe. While cruis iDg in the longitude of forty-live degrees west, in mid-ocean, the atmosphere would become so loaded with moisture, it was often impossible to see whales spout, even when their backs were visible from tht dock: .ho atmosphere and spouts being bo near alike in density and temperature, making it impossi ble to keep run of them, a difficulty seldom experienced on other oceans, where a spout is as distinct as a puff of steam in clear weather; while here they are rendered so invisible as to give security to the largest breeding places of the sperm whale in the Atlantic Ocean. ."ily cruises general! ended in zigzag courses, while drifting with the winds and currents of these humorous trades, through the various passages of the West India Islands, where I saw a portion of the exceed ingly moist atmosphere condensed by the mountains and precipitated; yet with the re mainder I have been wafted on into the Gulf of Mexico, even to the mouth of the Missis sippi river, where I resorted for supplies, while the humid winds pas3ed on to water the great vulley beyond. "I know it is generally supposed that the northeast trados, so called, precipitate their humidity on the northern coast of South America and the eastern slope of Central Amerioa and Mexico, which they do in part, and give these regions a thorough drenohing; but I also know, from long experience, that the northern portion of the trades often blow from the south of east, so much so, in fact, I have sailed from the vicinity of the West India Islands, making nearly an east course, two-thirds of the distance across the ocean. In fact, the veering of the trades will com pare favorably with the great rain-storms that sometimes spread over a portion of the United States. "I have often thought that the West India Islands, extending as they do from the centre of the trades l.00 miles to the northwest, may serve to divert a large amount of vapor in that direction. Thus it is reasonable to suppose thut a portion of the evaporation of those desert-heated trades are wafted over the United Btatt s, where the variable winds and the level nature of the country facili tate a wide and even distribution of rain. The evaporation being greatest in summer, the average fall of rain should generally be greater dmiag that season. I am also led to believe that hurricanes, moving as they do from the centre of the great evaporation des cribed, convey a large amount of vapor towards the United States; and that the heated winds from Sahara assiBt in keeping up the temperature of the Gulf Stream, as ' well as swelling its volume." fiUAF-SWIUMERS. Captain Cook, whose "Voyages" is now a book seldom read, gives the following spi rited acoount of the surf-swimming of the Sandwich Islanders, which will not improba bly be new to many of our young readers: "The surf, which breaks on the ooast round the bay, extends to the distance of about 150 yards from the shore, within which space the surges of the sea, accumulating from the shallowness of the water, are dashed against the beach with prodigious violence. When ever, from stormy weather, or any extraordi nary swell at sea, the impetuosity of the surf is increased to its utmost height, they choose that time for this amusement, which is performed in the following manner: Twenty or thirty of the natives, taking each a long, narrow board, rounded at the ends, set out together from the shore. The first wave they meet they plunge under,and,saff er ing it to roll over them, rise again beyond it, ana make the best of their way by swim ming out into the sea. The second wave is encountered in the same inaaner as the first, the great difficulty consisting in seizing the proper moment of diving under it, which, if missed, the person is caught by the surf and driven back again with great vielenoe, and all his dexterity is then required to pre vent himself from being dashed against the rocks. As soon as they have gained, by their repeated efforts, the smooth water beyond the surf, they lay themselves at length on their board, and prepare for return. As the surf consists of a number of waves, of hich every third is remarked to be always uch larger than the others, and to now igher on the shore, the rest breaking in the ntermediate spaoe, their first object is to )lace themselves on the summit of the largest tmrge, by which they are driven aiong with Lmazing rapidity toward the shore. If bymis- ake they bhoulu place themselves on one of he smaller waves which break np before thev eacn ine una, or should not be able to keep ;hAir mink in i nrnn iiirsrHnn nn tha tr,n I tne swell, tney are left exposed to the f ary tne new, f.na to avoid it are obliged aeain o dive and regain the place from which they ei oat. 'inose wno snoceea in tneir obiect reaching the shore have still the greatest anger to enoounter. The ooast being guarded y a chain of rocks, with here and there a mail opening between them, they are bliged to steer their board through oae of liese, or, in case of failure, to quit it before iiy reacn tne rocts, ana, plunging under the ave, make the best or their way back again. his is reckoned very disgraceful, and is also tended with the loss of the board, which I lave often seen, with great terror, dashed to paces at the vevr moment the islander t utted it. The boldness and address with Lich we saw them perform their difficult lid dangerous manoeuvres were altogether toBisLing. and are soarcely to be credited, These swimmers used often to pass nearly mils 8ea.wa.rfJ ia order, to enjoy the rapid. motion of their return as long as possible. Doth sexes and all ranks unite in it, and even the very chiefs themselves, who have attained to the corpnloncy which they so much admire, join in the game of Kurf-swimming with the meanest of their subjects. Some of the per formers acquire a wonderful amount of skill, and not content with lying on the board, sU, kDf el, and even stand upon it as they are burled shoreward by the giant waves. The boards are of various aien, aocording to the nge arid "station of the owner. For adults tkiey are about six feet in length. They are plibtly convex on both sides, and ore kept very smooth, all surf-swimmers cherishing a pride in the condition of their boards, and taking care to keep them well polished, aud continually rubbed with cocoa-nut oil. Amekican Bismuth. One of the most notewoithy results of the investigations in Mituted under the authority of the General Lend Office into the mineral products of the Fe oral States, says the Washington Star, is U.e discovery of bismuth. The specimens in the geolocicul museum of this office were brought from Archer county, Texas, through which region a railroad line is now being surveyed in connection with other northern counties of the State, most of which have been so much infested with hostile tribes of Indians that tho wonderfully rich deposits of copper and other metals are unapproachable and worthless. Tho bismuth ore is associated to some extent with copper glance, but in separate veins. Its gauge is quartz, though it is disseminated in small metallia crams. and it only requires them to be heated to about 00 degrees Fahrenheit to fuse them, and the melted metal is collected as it runs from the furnace. It is of somewhat silvery brightness, with a roseate tinge. It is used in small quantity as a component of Britannia ware; one of its chemical preparations is employed in medicine, and the same has been extensively applied as a cosmetic, under the name of "lily white," in consequence of tho delicate white tint of the powder. Its effect, after much use, is to leave the skin in a dirty yellow hue, and of a leathery texture. The Texas ore is associated with other valuable metals cobalt and nickel which, from the specimens on hand, would seem to be in pre ponderance. Steekotii or Savages. As an example of the wonderful strength exhibited by savages, the case of the Dvaks of Borneo may be cited, one of whom, while on the march with some English soldiers, exhibited it in a very unex pected manner. The path was a terrible one, up and down stoep and slippery hills, so that the Chinese coolies who accompanied the party first threw away their rice, and lastly sat down and wept like children. The Eng lish sergeant, a veteran accustomed to hard marching both in China and India, broke don-n at the hrst hill, and declared his in ability to move another step under the load which he carried. Mr. Brooke, who was in command of the party, asked one of the Dyaks to carry the sergeant's burden, and romised him an additional piece of tobacco. The man was delighted with the proposal, and accepted it. He was already carrying food for three weeks, bis whole store of clothes, one twelve-pound shot, two twelve- pound cartridges, a double-barrelled gun, a hundred rounds of ball-cartridge, and his own heavy sword and spear, bo little, how ever, was he incommoded with this, that he stuffed the whole of the sergeant's kit on his back, and walked on as easily if the whole load were but a feather weight.
