The Icy Home of the King of
the Carnival Is Ready
for Him.
Nearly All the Work at the
Palace Grounds Has
Been Done.
The Carnival Directors Hold
An Important Meeting to
Arrange Details.
A Long List Of Committees
to Look After the Indus
trial Parade.

King BOrealiS may take possession of
his new and beautiful palace any time
after to-day. 1t is complete. The last
block was laid yesterday and the in
terror decorations will be finished to-
day. OF course the carpets have not
been tackled down, nor have the. regis
tiers, furnace and ventilating apparatus
been placed within the solid walls of
green, but this fact cuts no figure and
will not cause any delay. 1t is the gen.
eral verdict of all those who have ex-
amined it that this palace far surpasses
those of the preceding years. Better
work is shown, more style is exhibited
in the architecture, and there are
many innovations that add to the
in former years. For instance,
about the tower sculptnred figures,
displaying considerable artistic skill,
occupy large inches, and will cause
stranger to open his eyes and wonder
how they were placed there. The
sculptor was at work yesterday on the
figures OH the east side of the tower,
and expects to have them all complete
by this evening. One curious and pretty
feature is the Labyrinth" Into the
base OF the tower number of passages
lead, ana 1t Is trlck to choose the right
one to get into the towers center. Most
of them end in solid wall of ice and
but one is open clear through. Work
men yesterday had almost finished lev
cling the floor. and all over the grounds
We're removing the stray icy refuse.
The board fence enclosing the grounds
is completed, as is the t0boggan slide.
Most of the small buildings used
to warm ones self, for offices. skates,
newspaper and other headquarters are
built and only need few finishing
touches. The ice rink will be COM
pleted to-day, and the ski club slide will
be done by Monday. Everything will
be complete and ready for the Carnival
by Tuesday. 1t is somewhat colder near
the ice palace than in any other part of
the city. A great difference in the tenn
perature is plainly detected. Many
strangers were inspecting the palace
and grounds yesterday, and a few
SouthernerS, especially, seemed lost in
wonder while thew frOZo.

YESTERDAYS COLD WAVE.
The Mercury in the Thermometers
Went Down for Keeps.

The Mercury in the ThermOme terS
Went Down for Keeps.
"ThiS may be good weather for the
ice palace, but it's playing the mischief
with us poor fellows that have to put up
our SO per ton for COAL" remarked a
cold-iooking indi vidual yesterday as his
eye caught sight of the storm flag on the
signal service staff, and brushing the
icicleS from the caves of his upper lip,
he fastened Oh his way wondering how
long old Boreas was going to blow his
frozen breath over this afflicted region.
The cold wave which first made itself
felt here Wednesday morning lowered
over the Northwest yesterday with I'M
abated severity: The morning. dawned
clear and bright, and one looking out
and seeing the clOudless sky and bright
sunshine could scarcely believe that the
thermometers of the city registered "a
deg. below ZerO-yet such was the case.
At 2 p. III. 20 deg. below was the figure,
and at 5 p. m. Lieut.. Woodruff, of the
signal service, predicted that last even
ing would be the coolest of the season.
In Northern Minnesota and Dakota the
temperature ranged from So deg. to 40
deg. below yesterday. and in Manitoba
it was 40 deg. below. In Southern Min
neSota and Dakota, Nebraska and Iowa
Is deg. to 20 deg. below was the record.
The wind was brisk all ever the North
west yesterday, and in consequence the
snow drifted considerably. Very little
snow attends this last cold wave. At
Cheyenne Thursday the mercury fell
from 40 deg. above to deg. below in
nine hours, and in Denver on the same
day there was change of SO deg. in
seven hours. The singular part about
this storm is that there has been very
little precipitation connected with it.
The present cold wave will have proba-
bly, spent its fury by this evening, and
moderate weather may then be looked

Enough to Convict Druggists of
Violating the Pharmacy Law.
The state board of pharmacy recently
employed Y. NJ. Gore, an attorney of
Minneapolis, to obtain evidence and
prosecute druggists violating the phar-
macy laws. Mr.. Gore sublet portion
of the work to pretty little Miss Minnie
Dikeman. and sent the young lady the
rounds of the st. Paul drug stores to do
detective work under the guiSe of
purchaser. She made small purchases
of castor oil, lOZengeS, belladOnna, toilet
soap, ETC., in different places, and yes
. terday, under the evidence collected by
her, a civil action was brought against
p. j. DreiS, druggist at 465 st. Peter
street: A. z. Wilkes, $50 West Seventh
street, and Daniel G.. KeSSel. 3l5 West
Seventh street, in the name of the state
for $50 damages for selling drugs with
out having registered clerk. The case
against p. j. DreiS was put on trial before
Judge Cory in the municipal court, it
being agreed that the decision i'm the
case against DreiS should hold in the
other cases. c. ID. O'Brien appeared
for the defendants, and the clipper
little female detective got on the stand
and told her story. But the chain of
facts was incomplete, and Mr., O'Brien,
with all due respect for Miss Dixie
mans detective qualities, moved for dis
misSal. The court held with Mr..
O'Brien.

The Influx of Crooks From Chi

ticeable Extent.
Twice every year-juSt before the
carnival and just before the state fair
the harp of loud acclaim published Oh
Third street heralds to the world the
startling information that an army of
crooks is on its way to take possession
of the city. Yesterday this announce
ment came in the shape of telegram
from Chicago stating that all the crooks
of that crooked city were making ar
engagements for an excursion to st. Paul
10 reap rich harvest from visitors to
the carnival. Chief Clark has had no
adviceS which lead him to believe that
there is to be any alarming influx of the
shieYing gentry, but he Is glad TO know
from such a reliable source as the Chi
cago correspondent what he may eX-
pect, aad has made ample arrangements
for their warm reception.
As matter of fact, Just one lone, SOL
ftary thief from Chicago has landed in
st. Paul SO far this season. and he was
''pinched' before he showed the tip of
his blue nose around the corner of Sib-
ley street, on the way up from the union
depot. He will spend the carnival sea-
son III the wOrkhOuSe, and will be given
plenty of ink and paper to write to his
friends in the East. Professional
thieves have never been treated with
much consideration by the St. Paul pO-
lice, and when they get away from here
once they are never very anxious to
came back. Thieves always like to be
where the crowd is, and there may be a
few in attendance at the coming car
nival, but the statements of the
Chicago correspondent are the most
uncouth eXaggerationS. A mob
of fifteen or twenty pickpocketS
and garroterS came from Detroit to at
tend last winters carnival, and, ne
glecting to buy return trip tickets, most
of them left their OyercoatS and
watches in st. Paul pawn shops for the
price of hOmeward passage. 1t is not
a little to the credit of the detectives
that not a pOcketbook or dollars
worth of property was stolen during the
last carnival or during the state fair
last year; and at the presidential recep-
ton in October, when the biggest
crowd ever seen in the West got to-
gether in st. Paul. and all of the most
expert thieves in the country came i'll
the wake of the presidential party, emily
one silver watch, worth SO. was stolen,
and that from drunken man, and that
was afteward recovered.

LONG SLEEPERS.
lFrom the London Standard. I


A wonderful case is on record of
snail which went to sleep OH March 25,
1916, and did not wake up till March
z, 1850. 1t seems that this snail was
picked up in the Egyptian desert, and
he had retired to the topmost recesses
OF the whorls of his shell, he was
gummed to piece OF cardboard, a
though dead, labeled with the date and
sent to the British Museum. He slept
unconcernedly for nearly four years,
when, showing some slight signs OF
life, the authorities ordered him tepid
bath, and at the first touch of the well
come moisture the snail thrust forth
his head very cautiously, and then COM
menced to walk to the top of the basin.
The West African mudfish affords
another instance of long-continued
existence in state of torpor. This
fish-knOwn as the Lapidosiren-live
among the shadows of the river Gam
bia, which are completely dry during
the tropical summer. But before the
drouth comes the mudfish is wise
enough TO hide deep down in the soft
! clay at the bottom of the pools, and
there it lies in torpid state for months
| together, while the surrounding mud
hardens into a cake. When in this
state the natives dig them up and prize
them as great delicacy for the table.
