Some hours after the body turns black, and the limbs lose their elasticity. This is the wind called corruption in the sacred writings ; and poison l)y the Arabs. The orientals, in their emphatical and figurative mode of speaking, when desirous of painting a violent and rapid conqueror in his exterminating course, compares him to the burning wind of the desert ! Often while the simoom continues, immense colunms of sand are seen to elev. Ite themselves at different distances in the desert. Some- ...times they ascend to such a height as to be lost in air ; at others, they separate and cover the atmosphere with their liery particles, or a dark mist; at times they assume the appearance of a thick wood, whose lofty branches are agitated to and fro by the winds ; and on other occa- sions look like globes of smoke. Among the other eccentric forms of this curious phenomenon, it has often been compared to the column of a great army scouring along the plain, sometimes hurrying on to the charge, and at others wheeling into line.
