Snow Trade In Sicily.


The principal export from Catania is
snow, in which most lucrative trade
is carried on in Malta and parts of
southern Italy. It is collected during
the winter in hollows in the mountains
and covered with ashes to prevent its
thawing. It is brought down in pan.
niers on mules to the coast at night.
The revenue derived from this source is
immense and renders the Prince of Pa
terno one of the richest men in Sicily.
Snow is the universal luxury from the
highest to the lowest rank and IS sold
at the rate Of cents for 80 ounces.
The poorest cobbler there would rather
deprive himself of his dinner than Of
his glass Of "aqua gelata.
It is extensively used in hospitals and
a scarcity of it would be considered al.
most as great q misfortune as famine
and would occasion popular tumult.
To guard against such accidents the
government at Naples has made the
providing Of it a monopoly. the con-
tractors being required to give security
to the amount of 10000 ducats, which
rum is forfeited if it can be proved that
for one hour the supply has not been
equal to the demand.

The Savage and tho B,rde.ss.

A gentleman who went ont with
Stanley to Africa took with him num-
ber Of birdcages. in which he hoped to
bring back some specimens Of the rarer
birds Of the interior. Owing to the
death Of his carriers he was obliged to
throw away the birdcages with num-
Der Of other articles. These were seized
by the natives in great glee, though
they did not know what to do with
them. but they eventually decided that
the small circular cages were kind Of
headgear, and, knocking of the bottom,
the chiefs strutted about in them with
evident pride. One chief, thinking him
self more wise than the others and hav-
ing seen the white men eat at table out
Of diehes, thought they were receptacles
for food and took his meals from one,
ceremoniously opening and shutting the
door between each mouthful.

They Continue to Progress,

There will be very general regret
along the Black Hills division of the
Elkhorn railway-from Long Pine to
Casper, and from Chadron to. Dead
wood-wherever, in fact, Mr.. E. G.
Harris is known, to learn that he has
resigned the position of division SUI
perintendent. He has held that posi-
tion for the past seven years, and has
proven himself a most proficient, hard
working man. He'has had a very large
division to manage, and it requires a
man with indonitable energy and
much ability to manage it success
fully. That he has done this is attest.
ed by all who know of his work. He
has friends by the hundreds all along
the line who will regret his departure,
but who will be pleased to know that
he is to have more lucrative and
possibly more pleasant position as di-
vision superintendent of the U. p.
road at Cheyenne, Wyo. May good
fortune and happiness go with him.
Mr.. Harris successor is no stranger
to this division, he being no less per-
sonage than Frank A. Harmon, of
Deadwood, who has for years been di-
vision freight agent. He is just the
man to follow Mr.. Harris, for he is also
great hustler, thoroughly familiar
with every detail of railroad work, pop
ular with the employees and the peo-
pie, and will keep his division:up to its
past standard of excellence.
The STAR congratulates both of these
estimable gentlemen uponj their sue
cess and deserved promotions.

Bacteria in Vegetables.

Some OF the facts are to hand of the
results obtained by agriculturists with
nitragin, that Is, civilizations Of certain
bacteria, which are said to increase the
growth OF such crops as beans, peas,
clover. etc, the bacteria having the
property Of fixing the atmospheric nj.
trogen, and SO enabling the plant to
assimilate it. Up to the present the
results obtained do not seem to show
any great advantage by the use Of this
material, or very slight one. The
trials conducted by the Glasgow Tech.
nical College on beans and red clover
have given entirely negative results
but some carried out at the Lancashire
County Council Farm, under the super.
intendence Of Mr.. Campbell, have given
somewhat more promising results, the
plants having been more numerous and
larger on the treated than on the un-
treated plots. In the case of beans
an increase Of 1S 1-2 per cent was oh.
