Color and Formation of Snow.

Science, while 1T gets at the marrow and
essence of things, upsets many pretty de-
lusions and fancies. We have been taught
from childhood that snow is white, and the
impression conveyed to our brains through
the medium of sight appears to settle the
question beyond the possibility Of a doubt.
Yet, though the Judgment of our senses is
to the contrary, it can be scientifically
demonstrated that its true color is blue. 1t
is faint and delicate cerulean tint, to be
sure but decided enough to make the soien-
tific declaration that snow is blue one that
Is positive and irrefutable.
1t Is q we'll known fact that pure water
in small quantities is perfectly transparent
In large masses it is distinctly blue. Snow
is simply the crystals Of pure water. The
reflection from these is that of all the col
ors of the rainbow or prism, but by uniting
before they reach the eye cause snow to
appear to be white. But" you will say,
1.-THE single crystal also appears to be
white" This Is true beyond question, the
reason being that that which appears to be
single crystal is In reality multitude Of
microscopic threads, prisms, lines and dots
In spite of their apparent great diversity

hairlike crystals to perfect stars of beauti-
full, delicate and intricate designs, they
may be said to be absolutely uniform in
original delineation, that of the hexagonal
prism. The primitive form is that of a
straight needle Of ice, radiating from q
central nucleus, always at symmetrical dis
tances and at angles Of either so or 1870 de-
grees. What may on casual examination
be taken for exceptions to this rule are the
little disks which occasionally fall. These,
ON close examination, proved to be six sided
planes, the angle still being 1870 degrees

When the Sun Is Hottest.

The fact has long been recognized that
the sun is variable star. OF course Its
variations are slight, else they would have
disastrous effect upon the earth. The
regularity with which sunspots gradually
increase and then decrease in number and
size is, however, a sufficient indication
that, as viewed from a great distance in
space and with sufficiently delicate means
Of observation, the sun would run through
q cycle of variations in brightness once in
every II years.
1t might well be supposed that il such
changes take place they would be more
easily perceived from the earth that from
q greater distance. AS matter Of fact,
however, there are practical difficulties
which render 1t almost impossible to get
an accurate measure of the variation from
year to year in the amount Of the suns ra-
diation that falls upon the earth.
1t has even been undecided whether the
sun Is hotter or colder when it is most
spotted. Some observations have indicat-
ed that the sun Is hotter when the disturb
ances that create sun spots are most &C.
tive, while other observations have at the
same time tended to show that less heat is
then received on the face of the earth than
Is received when there are practically ITO
sun spots.
Recently, however. M. Savelief has re-
ported to the Academy Of Sciences In Paris
Che result of experiments and calculations
made by him since 1890 which strongly go
to show that not only Is the sun hotter
when 1t is most spotted, but that 1t is pre-
cisely at such times that the surface of the
earth feels the greatest intensity of solar
radiation. Companion.

There is no other locality, even the
boosted climate of southern France, that
can show such a stable and equable
range of heat and cold. The health seek
er need fear no sudden changes. A little
attention to clothing and he can bid colds
and inflammations defiance. In cases of
death from tubercular disease the New
Mexico rate is only 3 in 1000.
This is the lowest known record, and it
must be remembered that the local con-
tingent of consumptives is daily aug.
mcnted by the immigration of those who
seek respite from that dreaded scourge.
The record of deaths at Santa Fe is
much lower than the territorial average.
In New England the consumptive death
rate is 25 out of every 1000 of the COM
munity; in Minnesota it is IA, and
throughout the southern states six per
1000. This city enjoys the spring eli
mate of northern Illinois and Indiana;
the summer climate of Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, and the winter
tenn perature of southern Illinois, Indiana
and Tennessee. This, however, is only as
shown by the thermometer. The dry
tonic air of the mountain altitude fills ono
with vivacity and health, and so strong is
the influence of the ozone and electricity
on the nerves and yste,n that acclimation
is wonderfully rapid. This of itself is q
great boon. Cases are ON record of in
crease in the chest measure of immi-
grants here of from four to seven inches.
NATURAL ATTRACTIONS.
| Besides this Santa Fe lies in q most
picturesque valley. 1t is at the entrance
Of splendid canon, Astounding in natural
curiosities. It is also the gateway of the
pecos National park, where fish aud game
abound. Within easy riding or driving
distances there are over forty places Of pic
turesque and of historic interest. Among
which may be mentioned the old adobe pal
ace, first erected shortly after 1905, from
which the Spanish viceroys ruled this
great province. Tho present structure
;atss from about 17l6; but it is full of
interest, as every room is consecrated by
tho memory of thrilling events. In this
building Gen. Lew Wallace wrote his
famous Ben Hur.
The chapel of San Miguel, was built in
1850 md still stands. By it's side is the
Oldest house In the United States. The
wallis of the old cathedral date from 1922,
but tho rest of the structure h of more
modern date. Within convenient dis
tances are the Indian pueblos of Tesuqus
and Nambe; in side canon Of the Santa
Fe are the delightful Aztec springs, while
about nine miles up the main water
course Is Monument rock. The road
thither is one OF surprising loneliness.
TO the south of town is Aqua Fria, and
the famous turquoise mines pronounced
by Tiffany the finest in the world; and
beyond the Rio Grande are the San Ilde-
fonso Pueblo and the curious cliff dwell
lings.
Other points Of interest to the tourists
are: The Historical socisty's rooms; the

AT THE GATEWAY OF THE NATIONAL PARK

Santa Fe, The city of the Holy Faith of
st. Francis, is situated on the site of an
ancient Indian Pueblo called O-ga-p-ho-ge.
1t is probably the oldest civilized COM
lnunity in tho United States and the most
ancient of American capitals. The Spanish
town was founded in 1905. Authorities
disagree rs to whether this city or San Au-
gustin, Fla, were first founded. Santa
Fe WAS first visited by American traders
in 1904, and from that time dated a
wonderful era of prosperity. The thrill
ing incidents of the old Santa Fe trail,
starting from Westport, No., gave it n
world wide fame.
THE WORLDS ONLY sANrTAR1uM.
Prof. Mark Harrington, chief of the U.
3. weather bureau, says: "Sants Fe ia in
the driest habitable part of the United
States. This region is extensive, and
changes in form from season to season,
but Santa Fe is always in it,"
1t is situated in charming nook of the
Santa Fe range, and its climate is domi-
mated by the influence of mountain peaks
that tower nearly 1900 feet high. To-
gether with this it lies at an altitude of
7Ol5 feet, and latitude, about the Seth
degree north, that gives it a peculiar adj
vantage as sanitarium. The elevation
tempers the summer heats, which natural
ly should be about that of Mem phis,
Tenn., or Bakersfield, Cal, and its south
srn situation reduces the rigors of winter,
As an illustration, during the winter of
1892, the daily public concerts in the
plaza were only stopped three times by
weather, and last winter the omissions did
aot exceed half dozen.
The altitude compels the lungs to work,
and no one in Santa Fe can be accused OF
being "too lazy to BREATHE" as great
physician expressed il. The rare, ozon-
ated air permeates every cell of the lungs,
and thus prevents hemorrhage. Drs
Symington and Harroun, who have prac-
ticed in Santa Fe for over twenty years,
report that they have only found two
'ases among the native people of con-
sumption.

The Watches of the Night

When of the repeated kind experienced
by persons troubled with insomnia, soon
bring about an alarming condition of the
nervous system. The shaking hand, con-
fusion of the brain, lapses of memory
and loss of appetite Indicate, with terri
BILE precision, the ravages produced by
loss of sleep, which if unremedied must de-
stroy mental equilibrium altogether. No
better and thoroughly nervine exists than
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Common
sense and experience point to its early
and steady use in cases of insomnia. 1t
strengthens weak and relaxes the tension
of overstrained nerves, which, by the way,
a resort to unmedicated stimulants will
never do permanently, while the after eff
fects of such excitants is most prejudicial
Under the influence of this benign in
vigorant, appetite, digestion and sleep
return, and bodily comfort and health are
alike promoted. 1t is invaluable in chills
and fever, liver complaint, constipation
rheumatic and kidney trouble.

RESURGENT.

Only ounch Of withered flowers,
Faded and brown and old,
But memory makes them gay once more
With purple, white and gold.
The pink spring beauty greets us first,
Fed by the melting snow,
+ And ground nut blossoms show the place
OF hidden stores below.
The pure wake-robin on the hill
Greets the first bird again.
The starry blood root in the dell
Still leaves its crimson stain.
Jack-in-the-p pulpit breaches yet
To little woodland folk,
And liverworts and violets grow
At the feet of the hollow oak.
The dainty waxen Indian pipe
Beneath the beach tree springs,
And the golden bell of the adder tongue
Still lightly sways and swings.
1t tolls the kneu-that fairy bell
OF childhood's hopes and fears
And ushers in the toll and sin
OF later, sadder years,
And so I keep the faded flowers
My old time playmate gave,
With grasses sweet that grow above
A lonely western grave. =.

The Plant OF the Iiase.

Lovers of foot ball will be disappointed
at the result of the meeting of the COM
mittee of experts held in New York to re-
wise the rules. The regulations adopted
contain nothing authorizing the use of
axes, bungstarters, brass knuckles OF
slung shots, and to all appearances the
games will not be any livelier under the
new rules than under the old.

demanded further shillings for his serv-
ices. The telegram when opened read as
follows:
