A Wolf Foster-Mother.

Some TWEEN months ago colorec
woman living in Texas on the banks o
the Brazos, missed her three months
old baby from the Tallet where she had
left it lying during an absense of a few
minutes. Search was made for the in
FAINT, but no trace OF it eou d be discov-
erod, and the whole affair was wrapped
in profound mystery until few days
ago.
A party Of gentlemen were riding
through a somewhat unfrequented por
ton of the thick woods that border the
river, when they were startled by seeing
I a strange object run across the road.
/ Thinking at first s ght that it was wild
anima several OF the party we're about
to fire ON it, when the one who hac
been nearest it called to them not t.

This was done with difficulty, for the
underbrush was thick, but mt last the

in view.
1t finally ran into an immense OAK
tree that lay uprooted in the ground ano
the hollow trunk Of which formed
yawning cavern. By dint of poking IL
the tree with sticks the party succeeded
in driving out an old wolf, which imme

Snow AS a Non-Conductor.

1t has been practically shown that in
the bad conducting property of snow
there is remarSab protecting power
in the economy of nature. However
cold the air and the surface If the snow
may be, if there is considerable thick
ness of snow, the temperature of the
surface of the soil underneath does not
fall below the freezing point. Thus the
snow is actually a warm covering to the
vegetation, for on its removal in alpine
slopes by the ethereal mildness of the
spring, the surface of the earth is seen
to be gorgeousiy verdant and studded
with beautiful flower bloom. But.
though the snow is a beneicent protec-
tionto the plant ", rid in cold climates.
it is chilling to the atmosphere. The
radiation from the snow in a cloud iess
sky considerably lowers the temperature
of the superintendent air, and in ex-
tensive snow-c'ad lands, when the win
ter is protraeted, the chilling effect is
very manifest. The surface of the snow
receives so little heat from the earth
that it gets cooled down to boar frost in
a brilliant layer, glistening in the
welker sunlight. Thus the ground NAV
be Of a temperature above freezing.
when the snow surface is bitterly cold.
However, animals which live in the air
have the power of locomotion to keep up
the b0dy's temperate by active work.
The plants in a cold winter would die or
become stunted without the protection
of the snow mantle, whereas animals
that can keep themselves warm bv ex-
ercise do not suffer by the necessary loss
Of the heat Of the earth, which is pre-
vented by the snow covering from pass
ing through TO them. Good Words.

THE sCOURGFD VALLEY.

Pestilencc has followed the flood in the
Conemaugh Valley, and the horrors of ty-
phoil fever now confront the stricken peo-
pie. AS near as can be estimated 2OOpersons
are sick with the terrible disease and kim
drcd fevers, while ~ deaths are traceable to
its cause during the past month, As no ac'
curatc health statistics are kept in the valley
1t is impossible to learn the exact number of
inyalids. A reporter interviewed four physi-
clans Of the % who are practicing in the
neighborhood. One reported 81 cases of
typhoid. another %. another % and the
fourth 20. From these figures the total is
estimated
The cause of the spread Of the disease Is
due, according to the statement of DIR. Ma
thews, local member Of the State Board OF
Health to the debilitated condition of the
residents Of the valley and to the poor shell
ter afforded by the temporary structures that
are inhabited. At his suggestion number
of the Oklahoma huis were visited, and the
