Snow PHENOMENON IN York TOwYsHIP.-Quite
a number of persons, says the York (Pa.) Press,
have been considerably exercised by phenome-
non in the snow, which appears in tract of wood
land belonging to Mrs. HOvis and others, in York
township, on the road leading from the Baltimore
to the Chaneeford turnpike. Thephenomenon has
the appearance of a living mass of larvae, resem-
bling that active pest the flea, and in other places
near by, the snow has red color similar to that
of blood. Red snow is not an uncommon thing,
singular as the fact may seem to some persons,
neither is it impossible for both vegetable and an
imal life to exist in red snow.
Botanists say that the red color is impaired to
the snow by peculiar vegetable substance. The
phenomenon has never before been witnessed in
this country-at least there is no record of it-but
in the Alps Chambers Encyclopedia says it is not
at all uncommon.
