CHICAGO'S DARK SNOW
O MUCH OF A PHENOMENON II
SCIENTISTS SPEAK Alright.
The Discoloration Caused by Dust
from Dry Fields and SCOT from
Windy City Smoke Stacks.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-An official
statement concerning Chicago's black snow
was given to-day by Chief Moore, of the
Weather Bureau. Moore's explanation fol-
lows:
T n black snow that has lately fallen in
Chicago and the Northwest is entirely sim
liar TO the great fall Of January. 1895. the
nature OF which was thoroughly inveSti-
gated by the Weather Bureau at that time.
Notwithstanding the theoretical suggestion
that the black deposit of last January
might have come from beyond the earth,
and might be meteoric or cometic, or
might even be volcanic dust from Alaska or
IL was due TO none of these causes. ON the
contrary, microscopic examination proved
that the black deposit contained about 4
per cent. of the most delicate organic
structures (Such as diatomS and Spores),
and about 6 per cent. of the finest possible
Inorganic matter, such as makes UP the
ordinary fine silt and clay soils. All this
fine material is easily caught up by the dry
winds whenever they exceed twenty miles
before ii has time and opportunity TO settle
on the ground. 1t is easily brought down
in large quantities by SHOW or rain, but is
only perceived by the ordinary observer
when there is a clean surface of snow for
IL to fall on. Large portions of the coun-
try from Nebraska southwark to the gulf
are covered by this fine soil, whose depth
sometimes is one hundred feet. A gale of
wind has been known to carry away six
cultivated field and spread 1t over the land
a hundred miles away. The blackness is
due to the fineness Of the silt, and not to
any magnetic IRON"

AN UNNATURAL YOUTH
JRING HIS TRIAL IN CRIMINAL
COURT STRUCK HIS POOR MOTHER.
Valentine Meyers then Cursed Judge
Brown for Sending Him to the
RE form School.

The officials of the Criminal Court wit
messed a shameful spectacle yesterday
morning as acting Judge Brown sentenced
Valentine Meyers. a hfteen-year-old incorri-
gibIe. to the Reform School for Boys. The
boy has been living with his mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth Meyers, and two sisters, at No. les
West Merrill street. A year ago he was
brought before Judge McCray on the
charge of incorrigibiIity. but was let go on
his good behavior. He then appeared peni-
tent and threw his arms around his moth
er's neck and wept tears OF thankfulness
when she interceded for him. His conduct
was quite different yesterday. Mrs. Meyers
made affidavit to the vicious character Of
her son and told Judge Brown about his
bad conduct. According to her evidence the
boy has been a terror to the family. lie
has been guilty of almost every ~offense. and
while committing mis- petty acts OF villainy
he did not forget to black his sisters eyes
occasionally. Just before the court pro-
nounced sentence the young miscreant bru-
tally called to his mother:
Gimme that quarter you promised me-
Tears stood in the poor woman's eyes as
she took out her pocketDook and stepped TO

struck her fun in the breast and she feil

iend. II never want TO see you again"
Sheriff womack helped Mrs. Meyers TO her
feet and with piteous sobs she sought a
chair.
II think 1 can send you TO a place where
you will calm down considerably" said
Judge Brown. "You will stay in the Re-
form School until you are of age unless you
mend your ways. l sincerely hope you may
conduct yourself correctly so that you, may
regain your liberty before that time"
