The Snow blanket.

The valuo Of mantle OF snow in pro-
tecting vegetation in tho folds in win
ter is fully understood in farming dis
tricts. and the cause Of tho protective
effect Of the snow is an interesting sub
ject Of scientific inquiry.
In Germany, whore no such subject
is ever allowed to escape investigation,
Dr. Abels has recently made some inn
portant observations on the thermal
properties of snow. Ho has found that
the looser the snow the greater its pow
or to protect tho ground beneath from
tho effects Of external changes Of tenn
perature
Snow generally offers about four
times rs much resistance TO such changes
as n sheet Of ice of tho same thickness
offers Whom snow becomes closely
packed, therefore, it is less effective as
q protection to plant life than when it
hoa loosely upon tho surface.
Other experiments show that, while o
blanket OF snow protects the ground be-
meath from tho chilling effects Of the
winter atmosphere, yet the surface Of
the SNOW itsolf, especially in clear
weather, is colder than the air, so that
snow tends 70 lower the temperature Of
the atmosphere, and whore broad AREAS

SAVED HER SLIPPERS.
A nit OF hitherto Unpublished history oe
the War Of 1912.

A Bit OF Hitherto Unpublishcd History of
the War Of 1912.
This Is o chapter Of scmiofiioial, semi
domestic history, and it is vouchod for
by a granddaughter Of the hero's FAM
lily line, Chioagoan who now lives on
Dearborn avenue.
Prominent in Mr.. Madieon's cabinet
sat, fourscoro years ago, Secretary Of
the Navy Jones, the SON Of famous
shipbuilder, a man gallant not only in
spirit, but in dress and manner His
fitness for his Office is attested by the
naval histories Of the war Of 1912. But
the successful secretary had moro wis
than hair, and q wig was a sine qua
non Of his political and social life All
went we'll with this adorpment until
tho luchloss August day in 1914 whru
tho British marched from Bladenshulg
upon Washington.
It will be remembered that President
Madison and his cabinet stood not upon
tine order Of their going on that occa-
sion, but went at onoe--to very re-
tired summer resort. Every ono knows
how Lady Dolly remained behind
long enough to savo some valuable
White House portraits from having their
eyes put out by English bayonets, but
few have heard how collected Mrs Sec
retary Joucs was ia this national crisis.
Presence Of mind IS said to be promot-
ed by absence Of body. This lady dis
played in the face Of danger presence Of
both mind and body. As the secretary
emerged from his doorway, his hands
full Of such family valuables as his agi-
tated condition had allowed him to coll
lect, Mrs Jones confronted him with
the appalling words:
''My dear, you have forgotten my
slippers. You must go back and get
them.
General Ross was almost ct his door
bringing imprisonment or death, but tho
unhappy man turned back to hunt tho
slippers, which, it is only fair to Mrs.
Jones to add, were adorned with dia-
mond buckles. In his headlong quest for
these treasures-which he secured--his
wig dropped OFF in dark corner, and
he did not dare to take time to hunt for
it nor to attempt the purchase Of an
othor. The shorn appearance Of the seq
retary, hitherto faultlcss in all appoint
monts Of dress, is said 60 have very much
lessercd the melancholy Of the cabinet
journey. 1t is further asserted that dur
ing the time of retirement no matter
how depressed any member Of the presi-
Dental pary felt over pablo and pri-
vate woes, If lie but glanced at Secretary
Jones peal upon peal Of irresistib', :,
laughter was SIRE to follow and that tho
despoiled Adonis cordially joined ,

Five Hours ~ Electric Road In Place Of
-Four Days by Stage.
Chicago capitalists, in conjunction
with others in New York and Cali
fornia, may undertake an Improvement
in tho Golden State in the shape Of an
electric road which will involve an ex-
penditure Of So, 300, 600 Tho projected
road is to run from Morced, in the San
joaquin valley. Asplanued it is to con-
tinue from that town into tho heart OF
the Yosemite valley, a distance Of 100
miles. A. f. Hatch, ono Of the Chicago
men interested, said recently that few
thinga in connection with tho project
were definit aly settled except the plan
in a general way.
The purpose, he said, sis to fur
nish modem transportation facilities
into tho Yosemite. At present visitors
leave the railroad either at Merced or
Raymond and travel by stage into the
valley It is four days journey for
the round trip and a laborious noun
tain climb for animals, although the
Ramo distance could be trayorsed under
some conditions in q fow hours. Despite
tho discomforts Of the trip many people
visit the region. BY an electric road the
journey will be reduced to five hours
ride in o comfortable car. 1t is proposed
TO equip tho road for freight traffic in
connection with passenger business. l
know the carrying Of freight by an eloc-
trio road is an experiment, but it has
been done. and we think il can DO ao-
oomplished regularly, successfully and
prodtably. ''--Chicago Tribnno.

California wu Have = run Exhibit at the
Bordcaux Expedition.

NNlAufAAA VIII AAANt a Null Exhibit nc the
BordcauH Expedition.
Tho viticultnral commissioners have
decided to rcaks an exhibit Of Califori ia
wines and brandios at tho oxposit m
which is to DO held at Bordeaux from
tho lst Of May next until the 1st Of No
vomber.
Secretary Scott received cable dis
patch last week from Bordeaux to the
effect That the Sociote Philomathique
has accepted the terms offered by the
vitioultural commission, aud that Cali
fornia wines and brandios viii be nc
corded a full and complete representa-
tion at the forthcoming exhibition.
This is tho first opportunity which
has ever been accorded local vino grow
ors and distillers to display their prod
ucts in Bordeaux. During the last two
years substantial recognition has been
accorded California wines and brandies
in various European centera Gold med
ais have been awarded at the cxposi-
tions in Genoa in 1892, in Dublin in
1892, in Antwerp in 1898 and in Lyons
in 1894, but the California wine and
brandy makers have never before had
an opportunity of showing their best
products - the winemakers Of the
world in the center Of the greatest olar-
ct market in the world-Bordeaux
Secretary Scott Of the viticultural
commission said:
california wines have already re-
ceived splendid recognition from for
eign experts. We intend TO carry tho
battle right into the heart Of the finest
producing district Of clarets in the
world. Five years ago an effort to con-
vince the bottlers of French wine that
we had wines worthy of their recogni-
tion might have been hopeless. There
are, however, ia this state 100 or moro
men who have in view tho production
Of the very highest types Of wine, whoth-
er these types DO Of Claret, Burgundy,
Rhino wines OF any other kind. These
people know that we have an area Of
country suitable for winomaking as
largo and as varied Us all Of the ooun-
tries Of Europe outside of Russia.
eve want to put samples Of oil Of
our wines before the countries Of tho
world, aud we have never before had
such an opportunity as is now presented
in tho Bordeaux exposition. We do not
claim that we have the very best Of
everything, but we do want to show to
all comors that we have at least as good
wine as can be shown by any country.
All that we ask is an equal and fair
chance with any country, and think il
is fortunate for the state that the moans
exist for inviting such q comparison
without any nndno expense 10 the inGi-
vidual winemakors. The commission
intends to collect all O. the samples,
The samples win be sent ON, and dine
care will bo taken that fair play is done
to all concerned. All that we are wait
ing for IS for complete particulars as e
the expense. San Francisco Chroni

According to the Glasgow newspapers.
two young Scottish workmen, sons Of a
mechanic employed in the Singer sewing
machine works on the Clyde have in
vented a battery which, it is assorted
will revolutionize electrical work, and a
groat man Of science like Lord Kelvin
thinks so much Of It that he offered to
buy the patent rights for $50, O00 The
inventors, aged 2l and i8 years, have,
Il is said, made a primary battery Sin
which, while the decomposition Of the
zinc plates is rendered enormously slow
or and tho chemicals used are Of trivial
value. the strength Of tho battery thus
formed Is very greatly increased The
battery has beon put to some severe
tests and Is said to have stood them tri-
umphantly. tits evident that these lads
have made some sort Of a discovery
which Is likely to b-ing them fortune,
but general expeis opinion discredits
the idea Of an electrical revolution.
