STRANGE FREAKS OF the WIN D
Singular Phenomenon I'm the shape of
Snow Cylind-rs-

A singular Phenomenon In the shape OF
Snow Cyiind'rs-
Spokane Spokesman Review: The
wind has been playing strange freaks
with the snow In the vicinity OF the
water works on both sides of the river
during the last few days. producing
hundreds of snow cylinders of uniform
size and as perfectly formed as though
they had been cast in a mold.
These cylinders are from IL to Is
inches long and from TO 10 inches In
diameter. and are hollow. except in the
center. The hollow in each end is fun
nel-shaped. being widest at the end.
where the cylinder is quite thin. grow
ing smaller as IL nears the center.
where there is a solid space. f. T..
Alexander. whose farm is near the
water works. on the south side of the
river, says there are hundreds of these
cylinders near his place and also In
the neighborhood of Minnehaha park.
ut is a strange and beautiful spec
tacle," said Mr.. Alexander yesterday,
''and never saw anything of the kind
before. / Judge that the conditions un-
der which these cylinders are formed
are exceedingly rare. Most OF them
seem to have been formed Thursday
night. For a time the wind blew from
the southwest and formed little drifts
of snow, then IL suddenly changed 10
the southwest. and where there were
fence posts or inequalities in the
ground these drifts were broken into
small sections, which the wind gath
cred up and started to rolling. The
snow was just soft enough to ball. and
as these little masses were slowly
pushed along by the wind they began
to roll, gathering more snow as they
went. till the cylinders were formed
They rolled all the way from 20 to 10t
feet. and looked like things of life as
they sped along until stopped by their
own weight. They could only roll about
so far, when they became so heavy
that the wind would not move them
and this accounts for their uniform
size"

surKA's RUSSIAN PASTOR.
Father Donskoy. of the Greek Church, Re-
called After Nine Years Service. FL

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Rev. v. p.
Donskoy, for nine years the pastor OF the
Greek church at Sitka, Alaska, has been
recalled by the synod of st. Petersburg.
and came down on the City of Topeka
with his wife and eight young children.
the eldest of whom Is boy OF 10. His
successor Is Rev. Anatole Kamensky.
Father Donskoy is the typical Russian
priest, Of massive frame. long, sweeping
beard, streaked with gray. and high fore
head sloping down to eyebrows ike caves
over a full dark eye. He Is gentleness
personifed as he watches over his LITTLE
mock at the Dfler. and signs as he thinks
of the long journey to New York. and
that other long journey to Southampton.
and still another voyage and another
weary jaunt In the sitting railroad cars
of Europe for these infants before they
come to their place of rest. But then St
Petersburg is his home. he says. with
smile.
The beautiful Greek church at sitka
has been visited by thousands of tourists
during the time that Father Donskoy has
been in charge there. and yet he can
speak but few words of English. he has
devoted himself so completely to his own
people and TO the Indians. He had a con-
gregation of 500. about 800 OF whom were
Indians. He had also his orph1n1ye. lis
schools and other works TO constantly 0c-
cupy his attention. and In II his life pass
ed gently and happily. for the church
gave him little trouble on financial
grounds. Tourists left many gifts and
the congregation was liberal So. behind
his souav manner there is no doubt
a deep regret that his superior. the synod.
should call him from a sphere OF such
quiet usefulness.
When asked IL he would solicit sub
scriptions on his way. at New York. for
tna II 81 he
showed surprise at the question. NO.
no." he said. New York had her own
Greek church TO support. and. besides.
the Sitka church was not In need.

THE ARKETS.

mess after the holidays was marked by
a sharp rise in early dealings on the
stock exchange. The confident tone was
mainly attributed to the expectations that
the treasury will be strengthened by the
issue of government bonds. In the best
condition of financial circles these views
find acceptance, but thus far only the
people whose statement would carry any
conviction are mute on the subject. The
upward movement came to a halt soon
after the expiration of the first hour, and
in ensuing dealings sales were recorded
at figures close to Tuesdays final prices.

Egg Gamblers of New York Have Formed
Protective Organization.
From the New York Morning Journal.
A unique labor organization in New
York Is the egg Gamblers or egg test
ers' union, composed principally OF
east side Hebrews. II Is little talked
of. because II Is a closed corporation,
and none but people VINO have proved
themselves experts at The business can
be admitted to membership. IT Is one
of the oldest labor bodies IN New York.
and was originally known as the Egg
Gamblers union, because II was or
gandzed before the days of gas or
electric Nights. and i'm those days eggs
were tested by holding them before
lighted candles. IL required a keen
sight and a practiced eye to detect
the first symptoms of the advent OF

and for this reason a man addicted TO
excessive use OF sttmulants could not
be an egg Gambler. A plank In the con-

WHERE THE PINS co.
Very vexing Problem Is Solved at Last
by AN Inquiring Mind.


by AN Inquiring Mind.
From the Chicago Globe.
An old gentleman In the north OF
London has recently been making a Sc
ries of interesting experiments with a
view to finding a solution 10 the ques-
ton often asked: What becomes of
the countless myriads OF pins. etc. that
are annually lost?" As he expected. he
finds that IL is the disintegrating effect
of the air which resolves even these
intractable little Instruments into their
elements.
He put some hundreds OF brass and
steel pins, needles. hairpins. etc. In a
quiet corner of his garden. where they
would be subject 10 all the destructive
agencies Of dampness. earth. wind. etc.
although secure from the predatory
hands and disturbing feet OF intruders
The results are curious.
Ordinary hairpins were the first (tak-
ing ia days on an average) TO Oxidize
into a brownish rust-ferrus oxide
which was scattered by the wind as IL
was formed. and not trace OF a sin
gle one could be detected at the end OF
seven months. Commcu bright pins
took as long as IS months before their
combustion was complete. but brass
ones had been entirely turned into
green verdigris long before that.

Wheat ruled exceedingly dull. Local

There is still a good deal of apprehension
as to the financial outlook. which tends
to restrict trade and makes the feeling

DIscoURAoINo A BOY.
There Were Certain Marks About Him
which Didn't Fit the Part He Played.


From the Detroit Free Press.
A boy or years old stood at the
corner of Brush and Elizabeth streets
the other day with his head up and arms
folded. He had three hens feathers
stuck in his cap. He had a bow slung
TO his back, and in a culver made of
Buffalo hide he had three or four ar
rows. In his belt was the family
bread knife, and in his right hand was
a war club AS he stood thus. casting
his eagle eye about him, a telegraph
boy came along and stopped and
looked him over. The inspection lasted
a full minute, and then he asked:
"Playin' In1un?"
YES"
Got a manner"
"Red Cloud"
"Humph, No CO."

The new woman" has broken out in
another way in Georgia. This time she
comes to the front as a distiller. A
woman in Jasper county and another in
Cherokee have been granted the neces-
sary government license to enable them
to establish registered distilleries from
which to make peach brandy. These
are the first cases Of women distillers
who appear on the books of the revenue
department. There have been isolated
cases of women who were alleged to
own Illicit distilleries, but those have
been Spartan women who took the
blame on themselves in the hope that
the courts would be lenient with them.
Now let women acquire the habit of
drinking the stuff and going home with
jags like men and beating their hus-
bands next and their triumph will be
complete.
