A Paris sculptor, with an apprecia-
tion for and a power to satisfy the de-
mand of the minute, has hit upon the
novel scheme of turning out ssnow

to the unique in art. Statues of any
required shape are made and add great

in the French capital. To all intents
and purposes these statues are carved
utof the compactly welded fleece. As
a matter of fact, they are only coated
with snow, the under part being made
up of copper pipes, thin and light i.

BUST MADE OF SNOW.
"a Specimen Of Art Now Quite Popular in
France)

thenature. of anaccident. 1t was while
the artist was being shown the method
of ice making by machinery that the
plan presented itself to him. The lique-
fled gases, he noticed, in their trip
through the copper pipes produced on
the outside an appearance unmistak-
ably that of snow This had been
caused by the disposition of the water
vapor of the atmosphere on the metal
and the freezing of it by the action Of
the acid. ssa'r
This system, reasoned the sculptor,
might be applied to statuary. And he
appliedit. A statue of thin copper was
quickly constructed and box of hque-
fled carbonic acid placed in the base.
When this gas evaporated the effect Of
freezing was produced, the moisture in
the air was attracted to the copper
sides and quickly frozen into the SEM
blance of snow. Many beautiful de-
signs have been turned out in pursu-
ance of this principle, and the sculptor
is said to be reaping golden reward for
his snow discovery.

lars of the second generation begin to
make their appearance In August.
THE question of proper work against
the insects which affect shade trees in cit
les and towns naturally divides itself under
two heads: First. what can be efficiently
and economically done by city govern
ments? Second, what can citizens who are
interested in shade trees do? With an in
telligent and industrious superintendent OF
parks and a wise expenditure Of a small
amount of money each year, the shade trees
OF any city can be kept green throughout
the summer A strong steam pump, to be
used in connection with small il-burning
boiler, the whole apparatus on small
scale, has been estimated at $275. There
is no reason an old fire engine could not be
arranged for the shade-tree spraying. In
one or two instances steam fire engine
has been used for this purpose withou,
modification.
ANY effort looking toward the arous-
ing of popular sentiment or the banding TO-
gether Of the citizens in the interest OF
good shade-trees, is desirable. mos
excellent plan was urged in Washington il
the summer of 1894. A tree protection
league was advocated"

MINERS AND TROOPS DISPUTE.
Military Orders mt Cape Nome Re-
sented by Civflfans.

Tacoma, Wash, July 28.-Serious trou-
bile is said to be imminent at Cape Nome
between the United States troops station
ed In the new gold camp and the miners.
The steamer Elihu Thompson brings news
that practically at the point Of the bayo-
net squad of soldiers commanded by
Lieutenant Spaulding broke up a miners
mass meeting held at Cape Nome on the
evening of July 10.
The miners had met for the purpose of
adopting local laws which would not rec
ognize the claim locations made by power
of attorney.
Lieutenant Spaulding, acting upon, or
ders from his superior at st. Michael, ap-
peared during the proceedings and served
notice upon the assembled miners to dis
perse. 1t is said that he took the position
that the men were not the owners OF the
Cape Nome gold deposits. and therefore
had no right to pass so-called laws affect
ing vested rights. The miners protested,
but to no purpose. They asserted that they
were being deprived of the right Of public
assembly and free speech. Their purpose
was to put out claim owners holding title
under power OF attorney.

to have been an attempt to poison two

bite or two of one of the rolls, was made
ill, but soon recovered.
Michael Lipschitz has a cigar store on

Payonia Avenue, and Simon krall has
jewelry store on the other side When
Mrs. Krall and Mrs. Lipschitz arose to pre-
pare breakfast Wednesday morning. each
found on the ledge of the kitchen window
a package of rolls.
Each supposed that the other had or
dered the rolls and that the baker had
made a mistake, and the women put the
rolls back on the window ledges, supposing
that whoever left them would call and get
them when the mistake was discovered.
Louis Krall five years old. about 10
o'clock took one of the rolls and began to
eat it. His mother reproved him. and
put the broken roll with the rest. Shortly

said they contained enough stryehnine TO

proved to be dosed in the same way.
Krall and Lipschitz then took the rolls

"The weather of this month has not
been as warm as 1t has seemed" said Prof
e. B. Garrett. at the Weather Bureau, this
morning. The humidity of the atmos-
phere. however, has been severely depress-
ing in and about the District Of Columbia.
Plentiful showers and moisture have been
the rule and the cause of depression.
''There has been air stirring all the
while, but it has been Of fetid character,
affording little amelioration from the pre-
vailing heat or humidity Of the past week.
Compared to previous Julys. the present
month will rank as cool one. The Goth
to the 23d, inclusive. have been the hot
test days. On the goth the maximum ther-
mometer was 80; ON the 21st it was 92; on
the 22d 1t was a. and then on the 23d 1t
fell to 80 again. The 22d was the only day
the temperature Of this month reached 81.
ION the Sd of July the previous hot spell
began and the thermometer was 80. On
the 18th 1t rose to SO and ON the 18th it
was 81, and on the 9th, 80.
Last year the record for July shows
that the thermometer reached 9S On the
LIST. 101 on the I'd, 100 on the Sd. and 81 on
the 4th. cool spell then followed until
Luc lotQ, Wnen the thermometer rose 10
95, falling to 81 on the 18th.
"Only in four Julys since 1872 has the
maximum temperature been lower than the
present month. The temperature has been
generally warm throughout the country,
but there has been no excessive heat except
in the Dakotas, where the maximum was
100. Thre was no long heated period any
where
No one can predict what sort of weather
August will bring forth. The record shows
July to be the hottest month, the earlier
nights OF August doing much to temper
the heat. July, 1872, was the hottest
Washington ever experienced. For TWEEN
ty-one days the temperature reached 80
and above. In 1878 also the temperature
ranged above 80 degrees for twenty-one
days. The highest hot temperature ever
here was on the 18th Of July, 1889.
"A heated spell is important as the num-
Der OF days it is protracted. So the July
of the present year will go on record as
one of the moderate Julys. There was one
July only in which the temperature failed
to reach 80. This was In 1891 There was
not hot day during the whole month, il
being the coolest July on record.
"All the indications are that the pres
ent warm weather will continue for the
balance of the month; il will be warmer.
in fact. So far there have been only eight
days that the temperature in the District
was 80 and above Even IL the balance of
the month continues as at present the
month will go on record as one of the cool
Julys."
The present health of the city does not
seem to be seriously impaired by the warm
wave. The usual summer maladies pre-
vail to no greater extent than in previous
years. Indeed, the physicians of the Dis
trict say that the month shows a favorable
comparison with the Julys OF previous
years Summer complaints and bilious and
intermittent fevers prevail to no larger
extent than usual and the mortality from
these complaints is very moderate.

Immigrants Detained.

Philadelphia, July 2S-Fifteen immi-
grants who reached this port yesterday
from Liverpool on the Belgian steamer
Nederland have been detained by Commits
sioner of immigration Rodgers, pending an
investigation into their cases. They were
all bound for Pittsburg. but the inspectors
have taken the necessary precaution to
prevent their landing until positive proof
is obtained that the new arrivals did not
come here in violation of the Contract La
Dor law. The result Of the examination
will likely be known tomorrow. The Ned
erland brought over 1913 passengers in
steerage and a mixed cargo. She would
have arrived Wednesday evening but for
the heavy fog prevailing. preventing her
passage up the bay ard river at night.
Captain Apfeld said that the voyage was
an uneventful one. save for rough sea out
side of the Capes. The conditions contrast
ed remarkably with the weather in the

AGAINST BOGUS BUTTER.
Several OIeomargarine Dealers May
Be Arrested.

Philadelphia, July 2S.-Warrants are like
ly to be issued within the next few days
by United States Commissioner, through
District Attorney Beck's office. for the ar
rest Of several persons on the charge of
selling oleomargarine under the pretence
that it is pure butter Collector McClain
and Chief Deputy Milligan. of the Inter-
nal Revenue Office, have had the case in
hand for some time until now sufficient
evidence, it is believed has been secured
to justify prosecutions. The revenue off,
cials have had frequent consultations with
Assistant District Attorney Francis Fisher
Kane with regard to the proposed proceed
ings, but because of renewal of the lat
ter's recent illness steps that were to have
been taken yesterday were postponed.
Assistant District Attorney Michael F.
McCullen, who may have the handling of
the cases in the absence of his colleague
said last evening that the warrants might
go out any day. Once the arrests are
made, it is the intention of the suthori-
ties to push the charges to a speedy trial,
so as to break up entirely the business of
selling bogus butter in such manner that
purchasers are led to believe that 1t Is
the genuine article.
Under the United states laws there are
various grades of offences punishable by
both fine and Imprisonment, that Will, it
is said, cover some of the cases which have
been developed. These violations include
selling or offering for sale or packing oleo-
margarine in packages not authorized. or
falsely branding the same; defrauding or
attempting to defraud the Government of
the tax imposed on oleomargarine. The
Pure Butter Dealers Protective Associa-
tion has been taking a lively interest in
the hunting out of persons engaged in the
alleged fraudulent business, and the evi-
dence which it has obtained is now in the
possession of the Federal officials.
Many prosecutions have already been
brought under the State law through its
efforts, and those charged with violations
have been held for trial. Twenty-siy such
cases were brought before the last grand
jury. and true bills were found. The de-
PENDANTS. it is expected, will be called to
plead at the next term. Since the finding
of these indictments nine other dealers
have been summoned before Magistrate
Evans and held for court. Luther S.
Kaufman, who is attorney for the asso-
citation, says that the evidence already se-
cured against a number of local dealers
will be carefully gone over before the
United States warrants are issued.
