An Explanati0n.

The reason why snow at great eleva-
tions does not melt. but remains perma-
nent, is owing to the fact that the heat
received from the sun IS thrown OF into
the stellar space 30 rapidly by radiation
and reflection, that the sun falls to raise
the temperature of the snow to the melt
ing point. The snow evaporates, but it
does not melt. The SUBMITS OF the
Himalayas, for instance, must receive
more than ten times the amount OF heat
necessary to melt all the snow that falls
on them, Notwithstanding which the
snow is not melted. And ID spite OF the
strength of the sun aud the dryness OF
the air of those attitudes, evaporation is
sufficient to remove the snow.
At low elevations, where the snow
fall is probably greater, and the amount
of heat even less than at the SUBMITS,
the snow melts and disappears. This
we must attribute 90 the Influence OF
aqueous vapor. At high elevations the
air is dry, and allows the heat radiated
from the snow to pass into space but at
low elevations very considerable por-
tion of the heat radiated from the snow
is absorbed in passing through the at
mosphere. A considerable portion OF
the heat thus absorbed by the vapor is
radiated back on the snow but the heat
thus radiated, being Of the same quality
as that which the snow itself radiates, is
on this account absorbed by the snow.
Little or none of it is reflected, like that
received from the sun. The conse-
auence is, that the heat thus absorbed
accumnlates in the snow till melting
takes place. We're the aqueous vapol
possessed by the atmosphere sufficiently
diminished, perpetual snow would cover
our globe down to the seashore. 1t is
true that the air is warmer at the lowel
level than at the higher level, and by
contact with the snow must tend to nell
it more at the former than at the latter
position. But We must remember that
the air is warmer mainly III consequence
of the influence OF aqueous vapor, and
that we're the quantity of vapor reduced
to the amount in question, the differ
ence of temperature at the two positions
would not be great.

THE very latest news from the
President this morning, dated 1880
last night, is more favorable, and
gives hope again. His pulse had
gone down six beats, his temperature
ONLY little above normal, and
his respiration normal. It is be-
lieved by the attending surgeons
that the present serious trouble does
not come from his wounds, but from
the arrangement of the stomach.
He has been afflicted with dyspepsa a
for years, and his present great
weakness has aggravated it. Ii they

WASHINGTON, Aug. l6, 10, a. M
At this hour the alarming symptoms
which characterized the illness OF
the President yesterday and last
night have subsidized to a marked de
gree, and he seems to be improving.
AT 3 a. III. he woke, and for o few
minutes experienced slight nausea.
This, however, did not affect his
pulse perceptibly. At 430 he was
sleeping soundly, and his pulse was
becoming stronger every minute.
The relapse was caused by trou-
ble of the stomach, and
has been looked for from the first
as probable complication The
doctors are very strongly censured
everywhere this morning for allow
ing the President to eat Bermuda
onions In vinegar and drink strong
coffee. They are very apprehensive,
but hope, which very nearly died cut
'Hst night, is again revived. DR.
Rey0um says they have reason to
think that the trouble of the stomach
has been covered. At present his
pulse is l19, temperature 98.6, respi
ration 10. No decided change is
considered probable for a day or two
have just seen the PostmasterG Gen
eraI who is decidedly hopeful, and
thinks things will yet be all right.

A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
On Friday evening last, as the two
hand cars on K. H. Weaver's section
Of the #. & p. M. r. r., were return
ing to town, and were just this side Of
the bridge over the North Branch, an
accidental collision took place. Wea-
yer was thrown in front of his car, for
tunately, between the rails, the car
passing over him and up the track for
some distance. The second car came
to stop on his PROSTATE body. The
boys quickly tipped the car of, and
placing him on the head car, ran with
oil speed to the depot. DR.. Mott was
summoned, who dressed the wounds.
How the man escaped death seems al
most miracle. As It was, no bones
were broken, but he was terribly cut
and bruised, especially about the head.
No less than three of the cuts on his
head had to be sewed up. As soon az
he was washed, and his hurts fixed up
with court plaster, etc., he managed
to walk home, by having assistance
on each side of him. At present writ
ing he is recovering as rapidly as could
be expected under the circumstances.
