A LAUGH ON THE LAWYER
There was a laughable incident in
the trial of two alleged pick-pockets
recently. A detective was on the
witness stand, and the examination
ran something like this:
Well, SAID the lawyer, what made
you suspect them?
One of them had on his arm a
light weight alpaca overcoat with a
slit in the lining. in order that he
might operate easier.
Now, If you saw me walking O.
long the street with such an over
coat on my arm. would you arrest
me?
No, know you; you are Mr..
-, the lawyer.
Well, what's the difference be-
tween lawyer and pickpocket:'
To this question the witness made
no reply, but ripple of laughter
ran around the court room, and
one of the spectators was heard to
say.
Mighty little.

THE BROWN SNOW.
Chief of the Weather Bureau Explain,
the Phenomenon.

Chief of the Weather Bureau Tx pia lns
the Phenomenon.
Amateur microscopists. wiped the dust
from their lenses and proceeded to study
the snow which spread slate-coored
mantle over the Northwest Tuesday night.
After long gazing and much figuring va
rious opinions were reached. Each opin-
ion had public following until Prof
Willis l.. Moore. chief of the weather
bureau, sent dispatch from Washing
ton presenting his view of what spoiled
the snow. Then the audiences of tho
amateur observers grew smaller. Prof.
Moore said:
'The black snow that has fallen lately
in Chicago and the Northwest is entirely
similar to the great fall Of January. 1895.
the nature of which was thoroughly inves-
tigated by the weather bureau at that
time. Microscopic examination proved
that the black deposit contained organic
structures-such rs diatoms and spores
and about per cent. of the finest possible
inorganic matter. such as make up the
ordinary fine silt and clay soils. This fine
material is easily caught up by the winds
whenever they exceed twenty miles an
