ONE OF THE EFFECTS OF THE COLD
SNAP

On Friday night, at very late hour, when
all the occupants OF the residence belonging
to a prominent citizen were clasped i'll the
soothing embraces of Morpheus, a water pipe
snapped in that house and Immediately there
after the water rushed into the rooms with a
fearful velocity, threatening TO deluge the en-
tire establishment The noise created by the
rush of water woke up the head of the house
hold, whom we shall call B. Just awakened
from sound sleep, this unexpected circum-
stance rather bewildered him The first i'm
pulses that took possession of him were to
cry out 'Fmurder and ''fre, still the merci-
less element came rushing in. Rubbing his
eyes and arousing himself as much as one can
in few moments after rudely being awak

took in the situation; he saw that i'll order to
save his household goods that the rush of
water must be stopped, and that, too, with

When B. turned into Carson street, pack Of
dogs, of all breeds, ages and social conditions
imaginable, followed, barking and swapping
at his heels at every jump he made. This
noise aroused the police, who also joined in
the chase, crying out to B. to stop and sur

A curious theory of the future fate
Of the world is being discussed by a
Swedish paper. The question is wheth-
er recent and long-continued observa-
lions de not point to the advent of q
second glacial period, when the fair
countries now basking in the fostering
warmth Of tropical sun will ultimate
ly give way to the perennial frost and
snow Of Polar regions. The researches
Of biologists have proved the existence
in Greenland and other Artic land Of
fossil palms and other tropical plants,
which. show that these regions were
formerly covered with rich vegeta-
ton which only equatorial climes can
now produce. Then came the great
Ice Age, which buried this vegetation
beneath the mantle of cold which still
prevails at the Polar extremities of the.
earth. Is this Kingdom Of ice and
snow again extending it's way toward
the Equator? From the Antartlc cir
Gle we have no data which supply an
answer to the question; but it is as
serted that the climate Of Norway,
Sweden and Iceland is annually becom-
ing more severe. Great masses of ice
are frequently observed by navigators
in far more southerly position dur
ing the Summer months in the Allan
| tic than was the case few years ago; ;.
and the effect of these icebergs is to-
materially reduce the temperature Of
Scandinavia and Iceland. The latter
island is suffering so severely that the
corn no longer ripens there, and the
inhabitants, in fear Of approaching
famine and still colder climate, are en-
igrating to North America. The infu-
ence Of the Gulf stream on the climate
OF Norway, which has been not less
marked than It's effects on the coasts
of Ireland and Scotland, is being effac-
ed by the intensity Of the cold brought
by the masses Of ice which it is for the
Gulf stream to carry toward the east
ern ride Of the North Atlantic. This
90 Agaaaaiuarg %Qld appears TO be rath-
CT Of periodical occurrence than of
gradually and annually increasing in
tensity, and our Swedish contempt
rary appears to have forgotten that the
existence Of larger quantities of ice
than usual in the Atlantic rather
points to recent period ofstormy but
hot weather in the Polar regions than
to an unusual intensity and extension
of the reign of Polar cold. Still the
phenomenon is Of great interest and

be healthy. Cut down the trees. so as
to let in the sunlight, or if the trees
are too sacred to be touched, then burn

he liked to see trees near house, and

sary for health and comfort, but in

PURE WATER. E
4 good supply Of pure water is a
fountain of life in any household, but
a well into which fall the drippings
from barnyard privy, vault or kitchen
slops is a pit-fall OF disease. Every
well acts as q drain to an inverted
cone of earth, the bottom Of the well
being the apex of the cone, and the
| base of the cone is circle, with 8
well for it's center. The diameter Of
this circle will vary with the porosity
Of the soil. With a very compact
clay free from seams it may DO. only
three or four rods, but with porous
sand and gravel it may be ten or if
! teen rods, or even more, if the well is
very deep. ANY foul material that'gets
into the water within this drainage
area tends to find it's way into the
we'll. The water filters through the
soil, giving up to the soil all suspended
insoluble matter and much that it
holds in solution; but when the soil
becomes saturated with this sewage
matter, this will then pass on into the
well and become q source or disease.

The outlook of the lake marine for
the season Of 1878 is anything but
cheering. A great many vessels will
not go into commission at all, and low
rates on the EastWard-bound railroads
threaten to keep lake freights down to
the ruinous figures that have obtained
for the past four or five years. The
absence of snow in the pineries by pre-
venting logging has cut down the lum-
Der crop fully 300,O0O,O00 feet in the
estimation of good judges. Conse-
quently, several saW-mills will be OBJ
