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.
