Hicks Story.

1t was In 1S47 that Hicks first made o
county name as witty raconteur. In
that year Sir Samuel Spry, who had been
member Sor Bodmin since the great re-
form BILL lost his scat, and in a petulant
mood took legal proceedings against Hicks
on the ground that he had abused his Off
cial position to influence voters ut the poll
In the course of the trial Hicks was called
upon to state what he had to say in his
defense.
In the course of his statement he asked
leave of the court to illustrate his position
by story. His request being assented to,
nc related how few days previously he
had been to see lad whom he knew we'll
who was laid up from a fall from vicious
donkey, which had kicked out all his front
teeth. The lad, said Hicks, had taken the
matter in. the most kindly way, and had
said to him, d" 'Tisn't the fall, Mr. Hicks,
and 'tisnt the vally of the teeth what an
noys me, but It's the nashty, gashly, wish
Gus disposition of the jackass."
Sir Samuel Spry sprang up in the we'll
of the court in fury and exclaimed, HE
has called me jackass!" The court was
convulsed with laughter, and Hicks was
promptly and fully acquitted of the trump
cry charge brought against him.-Corn-

In Africa there are several varieties Of

gives an example Of one mode Of using
currency:

with 600 mujcmbc, u kind of iron spade
money The expenditure of majcmhc

With thom was carried Il magic horn,
which protected them from danger.
East central Africa furnishes another
form of spade or hoe money made Of ham
mcred iron. This is made and used Fy
the Bari tribe, who trade with poo
plc from the interior. This hoe is Of no
practical use, except as u portable form ot
exchange, cftcr barter being converted

Jack took his place in the mines and

THE COLOR OF SNOW.
Why 1t Is Generally White, but Some
times Red.

Why 1t Is Generally White, but some
times Red.
The white color of snow is the result Of
the combination of the different prismatic
rays issuing from the minute snow crys-
tails Pounded glass and foam give anal
ogous illustrations of the prismatic colors
blending together and forming the white
light out of which they had been original
" formed The air contained in the crys
tails intcnsifics the wilderness of the snow.
The snow, from it's loose texture and the
fact that it contains about ten times its
bulk of air, is Il very bad conductor of heat,
and thus forms afl admirable covering for
the earth from the effects of radiation, it
not infrcquently happening in times of
great cold that the soil is 40 degrees warm
err than the surface of the everything snow.
The apparent rcdncsS of snow us seen
from u distance is often IN effect of light
which adds peculiar charm to mountain
and winter landscapes particularly i'll the
mornings and evenings, when the rays OF
the sun fall most obliquely on the surface
of the snow. But SNOW is occasionally
found both i'll polar and Alpine regions Of
q really red color. This phenomenon
seems to have been observed by the an
clients, as q passage in Aristotle apparent
~ refers TO IL, DCJ III ATTRACTED no dItcllIlOn
in modern times till 1860, when Saussure
observed it in the Alps and from chemical
experiments concluded that the rcd color
was owing to the presence of some vcgcta-
bic substance, which he supposed might
be the pollen of plant.
The next observations on red snow were
made in the arctic expedition under Cap
tain Ross, when it was found extending
over range of cliffs on the shore of Baf-
fin bay for eight miles, the red color pen
Grating the SNOW III some places to u
depth of II feet On the return of the eX
petition i'll 1919 the coloring matter as
then existing in the melted rcd snow was
subjected to careful examination by Rob
ert Brown and by Francis Bauer, tho
former most eminent botanist pronounc-
ing it to be produced by a unicellular plant
of the order algg. Baron Wrangcl after
ward declared it to be Il lichen and called
it Leprasia kermesina. But DR.. Grcville
of Edinburgh, who obtained specimens
from the Scottish island of Lisinore, on
further examination returned to the opin-
ion of Brown, an opinion which has since
been fully confirmed, and the plant is gen
