Abstract
A RARE meteorological phenomenon was experienced in New York on May 11, when a cloud of grey dust enveloped that city. This cloud of dust is described as having reached the eastern seaboard of the United States early on that day, and is said to have extended from New England down to Washington, to have been denser in the Middle West and to have measured 1,500 miles by 900 miles in the horizontal and about three miles in the vertical.
