SOME STORIES.

Mr.. Frank Brown, who has been in
Austin over so years, said yesterday
that he thought once before he had seen
as much snow in Austin.
Dick Warren, another old citizen, en-
lphatically declared he had no remem.
brance of any such snow. He never
saw it fall for so many hours nor cover
the ground as deep.
Uncle Dick Boyce, another old timer
declared the snow of yesterday and the
night before was the heaviest he had
ever seen in this section.
Dad" Jernigan said the snow was
deeper on the ground yesterday than he
had ever seen it in this part of Texas.
Deputy Sheriff Thorp, who was reared
| in these parts, said it was the worst
snow storm he had ever witnessed in
Austin. The one Of 1856 alluded to by
Mr.. Frank Brown was worse in the
mountains where Mr.. Thorp happened
to be on hunt THAT was a snow
Storm" said Mr.. Thorp. II knew it was
coming and camped under big shelving
rock. stalking my horse off little ways
sorter in the valley behind clump OF
live ok and haw bushes. 1t was snow.
ing when went to sleep and the next
morning I looked out to see how my
horse Jared and / couldn't see anything
but the tips of his ears. Snow was in
that valley until July and can prove il
by Ed Anderson or any old settler who
was living on Cow creek that year."
Everybody spoken to by The Statesman
reporter was glad of the snow and al
predicted it was the forerunner of O
bountiful harvest.

SNOW AT LOCKHART.

Lockhart, Tex, Feb. 17.-(Special)-
Between three and four inches of snow
fell at this, place on the 18th, making. a
scene long to be remembered by the in
habitants. The school children were turn.
ed out to enjoy the unusual Texas sight,
and sport in the exhilarating air and
sparkling snow. Old men and young,
maidens and little children, all took part
in the general glee. Every man in town
ducked beneath the snow, no one too ex,
allied or too lowly. Judges, lawyers, doe.
tors, merchants, ministers, all treated to
the same leveling homage to the king OF
the carnival, who so seldom visits this
part of his domain. Later, sleighs were
improvised and merry rides closed the
day and continued all through the next.
The snow still lies on the ground but is
partly melted.

COLD WEATHER.

All to whom the subject was men
toned unqualifedly asserted that the
mercury had been much lower during the
past two weeks than ever before in
Austin and they had suffered more with
cold. The cold all over the country this
year has been great and General HaZen,
the weather bureau man, speaking of
it few days ago in an interview gave
the following interesting facts:
The lowest natural temperature ever
recorded was taken in a balloon at an
altitude of 10 miles. 1t was 104 degrees
below zero. The balloon was the Aero
|phile, which assembled from Paris under
the guidance of Gustave Hermite. The
lowest temperature ever recorded on
earth was taken at Werchoiansk, in the
interior of Siberia, Jan. Is, 1885. 1t was
80 degrees and n fraction below zero.
Werchojansk is in the latitude of the
pole of cold. There the earth is frozen
to the depth of about 100 feet and in
the warmest season it never tbaws. The
highest temperature recorded is 124 and
q fraction, taken in Algeria, July II, 1870.
The lowest temperature on record in the
United States is GA degrees below zero,
at Tobacco Garden, N. ID. Greeley, the
arctic explorer, has probably experienced
wider range of temperature than any
other living man. He recorded &C de-
grees below zero at Fort Congor, in Lady
Franklin bay. On another occasion, in
the Maricopa desert of Arizona, his
thermometer in the shade ran up to Ia
above. A lucifer match dropped upon the
burning sands Of the Sahara will catch
fire. 1t is very difficult, even with the
finest thermometers to get accurate rec.
ords of extreme temperatures, and on
that account such observations in general
are to be regarded as only approximately
correct.

SEED CORN.

Every intelligent farmer knows the
wonderful improvement that has been
made in livestock. Our fine Shorthorns

ing. That corn, wheat, and other grains
can be improved by the same methods
has been clearly demonstrated. The i'm
provement Of corn is so simple that every
farmer should understand how to do it.
and then put his knowledge to practice
Many good farmers will pay high prices
for breed bull or boar to improve their
| livestock, but the same farmers every
year select their seed corn from the
crib, or perhaps from the field with nc
thought of improvement. A little fore
thought and some extra labor would
have secured an improved seed corn
each year. This can be done by every
farmer in this wise: Choose Il small
plat of rich land, say one-fourtf
or one-half an arce, far enough removed
from the other corn that the pollen car
not reach it. Make this plat very fer
tile that the corn may be furnished all
the plant food necessary for its perfect
development.

A COSTLY STRIKE.
The Aggregate Cost of the Brooklyn
Strike Is Estimated at S3.00O,OO

Inc Aggregate Cost OF the Brooklyn
Strike Is Estimated at $3,000,000.
Brooklyn, Feb. 1.-THE trolley strike,
which has lasted 81 days, has cost an
enormous amount of money. Three mil
lion dollars is considered by those di-
rectly involved as a moderate estimate.
When the strike was ordered it was stated
that district assembly rs had from $780,
900 to $4,000 in its treasury. About
$4,000 was subscribed by sympa-
thizers. All this has been spent and the
$350,000 wages the men would have earn
ed has been lost. The Brooklyn Heights
railroad company was the heaviest loser
among the roads. 1t is estimated to
have lost directly 100000. The other
systems have lost close to 100000. The
cost to the city and state for troops is
expected to exceed $250,000. The dam
age done by cars placed in the hands OF
inexperienced motormen is placed at
100000 more and the loss in earnings
by the military during their stay in Brook
lyn is conservatively estimated at $3.50
0OO Special, officers and deputies cost
Kings county $4,000 and the loss to the
business men of Brooklyn is considered
light when placed at 100000. There
were many other losses to swell the
amount in addition to the Inconvenience
md suffering caused by the big strike.

THE DRIVEN SNOW.

TERDAY.
The Heaviest Snow Within the Memory
of the Oldest Inhabitant-Sights and
Scenes in the City and Opinions
of Old Timers.

The land of the oleander awoke yester-
day morning to find itself under snow to
the depth of about four inches on level
and with snow still falling. In places
the drifts were over two feet deep and
the Oldest inhabitant was unable to re-
call such snow fall in this part Of
Texas.
Snow began to fall Wednesday after
noon about o'clock, and it continued to
fall, with few short intervals of ces-
sation, all through the night and up to
2 o'clock last afternoon, the hour of this
writing. At this hour the depth Of
six inches deep and many drifts were
reported two and three feet deep, some
thing no white man remembers to have
ever seen here before.

STRIKE STILL ON.

Brooklyn, Feb. 16.-Up to II O'Clock
tonight there was no formal declaration
by District Assembly No. z, knights
of Labor, that the strike had been called
off, notwithstanding the general an
nouncement made earlier that the local
assembly had decided upon this action
by votes. There was to have been a
meeting of the leaders of the strikers
tonight and it was expected the meet
ing would be held at strikers head
quarters at Mugs hall, but the pro-
prietor of the place was notified during
the day that the hall would be no longer
required, which in itself is taken as a
significant indication. No meeting was
held there tonight.

FOR STOCKMEN.
IMPORTANT CIRCULAR ISSUED
STRAY ANIMALS
They Can be Brought Back From Mexi-
co Without Paying Duty-Other
Items You Will Find of Interest
This Morning.

The following circular, relating to the
free entry of animals which have strayed
across boundary lines, or have been driv-
en- across for pasturage purposes, has
been issued by the secretary of the treas
ury:
Paragraph 1913 of the act of August %,
1894, contains the following provision:
Cattle, horses, sheep or other domestic
animals which have strayed across the
boundary line into any foreign country,
or have been or may be driven across
such boundary line by the owner for past
urage purposes, together with their IN
| crease, may be brought back to the
United States free of duty under regula-
tons to be prescribed by the secretary
Of the treasury"
Under this provision of law, the fol-
lowing instructions are issued: -.
First-The words domestic animals
occurring above will be held to mean
domesticated animals, such as the horse,
| sheep, COW, OK, ETC., as distinguished from
| wild animals; consequently in passing
| upon applications for the free entry OF
animals claimed to have strayed or been
driven across the boundary line for past
urage purposes, the question of the place
of origin of the animals need not be taken
| into consideration.
Second-The above provision of law is
held to apply only to animals owned in
the United States, which have strayed
across the boundary line into foreign ter
| ritory, or which have been driven across
such boundary line Tor pasturage pur-
poses.
Third-It is further held that the priv
ilege conferred by the above cited para
graph applies to domesticated animals,
with their increase, which have strayed
or were driven across the boundary line
either before or after August %, 1894.
Fourth-The identity of such animals
and of their increase must be established
to the satisfaction of the collector of Gus
toms by the best evidence obtainable.
