The | transfer of the command took place the | latter part of the week, following an | mfimmn of the ship by Rear Admiral | Willard, commandant of the Washing- ton Navy Yard. While Comdr.

He was very popular in the com- mand. Lieut. Comdr. Philip D.

A great deal of scientific curiosity was aroused over the great cloud of dust which covered nearly all of Russia and a great portion of Europe as well in April of last year. It was at the time attributed to dust from a volcanic eruption in Rumania, though no active voleano is known to exist in that coun- try. The possibility remained that the dust might have come from some more distant volcanic region, but its origin has now been traced by Profs.
