A MAPLE SUGAR LABEL.

The enquiry made in The Phoenix last
week as to the firm of James A. Faulkner
& Co., said to be located in Bra.tebOro,
has elected the fact that Mr.. Faulkner is a
travelling agent who buys and sells maple
sugar, and during the last year or more
has bought his goods of the Brattleboro
Jelly company, putting upon the syrup the
label shown last week. No question is
raised as to the genuineness of the goods.
Mr.. Faulkner states that he has now settled
in Rutland, his former home, where he is
dealing in Vermont syrup and sugar. Our
enquiry has performed its object and brings
out an illustration of one of the methods
of marketing our maple products. With
Others who are interested in this subject in
different parts of the state, we have thought
that if a standard label could be trade
marked and used by makers and dealers it
would not only guarantee the quality of
the goods but would enhance their value.
The difficulties which attend such a move
ment are recognized, but if successfully in
troduced it would prove of great advantage
to our Vermont producers.

lures. "
Cold waves are strange phenomena. No
body knows with certainty where they
come from or how they are formed They
are formed somewhere inland i'm the far
Northwest, in the latitude of greatest cold,
which is a good way south of the north
pole. At the north pole it is comparative
ly warm, and that extremity of the earth's
axis is perhaps surrounded by an open
and an unfrOZen sea. As for the typical
cold wave, my belief is that it is composed
of air drawn down from the higher and
more frigid regions of the atmosphere.
Ascend to an altitude of 80 miles above
the earth's surface, and you might find a
rarefied air at temp erature of 100 de-
grees below zero or even much lower.
The body of COLI formed by the down
rush of this frigid air from above starts on
a journey eastward across the continent,
travelling at the speed of a fast railway
train-say 30 or 40 miles an hour. As it
proceeds, it spreads out. Obviously the
cold air would be gradually warmed during
the trip unless the Wave were replenished
with cold in some fashion. My notion is
that while the wave is i'm transit fresh cold
is continually drawn into it from above,
where there is always an unlimited supply
Finally, the wave passes off over the ocean

If it were not for the atmosphere, which

The lowest temperature ever recorded on

of about 100 feet, and in the warmest sea
