MEAD's SNOW ANGEL
sculptor's work in Snow and Ice, After
ward Cut From Marble.

Probably no young man so astOnished
the people of the village in which he
had been brought up as did Larkln
G.. Mead the good people of Brattle
boro, by the work he did one Decem-
Der night 40 years ago. The story has
often been told, but it is one the Yer
monters never tire of telling as they
point to the spot at the junction of
Linden and Main streets, where young
Mead the last night of the year 1906
nodded from snow and ice the image
which he aftelward reproduced in
marble, and the Recording Angel
bv some is thought to be the sculptor 5
best work Its effect on the Vermont
villagers NAV be imagined. The cut
shows Mead surveying his work by a
lanterns light: but when the ice
sheeted image stood forth in the bright
and clear light of winters sun, ITS
beauty marked the work of genius.
1t is related that a weak minded youth
of the village, frightened, ran away,
and that of grutf old citizen, who
rarely greeted his fellow-townsmen on
the street, lifted his hat as he gazed at
the 'snoW angel.
Mead with two friends labored for
hours in the cold December night.
Henry Burnham kept a hot fire going
in the old Burnham foundry, and sup
Piled the younger workers with sweet
cider, while his brother, Edward, as
sisted Mead in molding the image.
Occasional trips indoors enabled them
before the fire to mold the more eN-
pressive parts of the statue. These

YER Mine EXpIOdeS Causing
Death and Destruction.

st. Louis. Mo-. Feb. S.-A special to
the Globe-Democrat from Chihuahua.
Mexico, says: Word has just reached
here of one of the most terrible mining @
disasters that ever occurred in Mexi-
co. An explosion in the San Andres
mine, situated in a remote locality of
the Sierra Madres in the western part
Of the state of Durango, caused the
death of 81 men. women and children
and injured many others.
The catastrophe w0s due to the ex-
plosion of several hundred cases of
dynamite, which was stored in an I'M
derground chamber of the mine. Elec-
tric wires connecting the hosting ma
chinery passed through the room in
which this dynamite was stored and it
is supposed that these wires became
crossed, thereby causing a fire which
set off the dynamite.
At the time of the explosion there
were several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings of the mine
and, strange to say, none of them
was seriously injured, although they
were all severely shocked in the ter
rife force of the explosion.
