Frost Forecasts,
To the Editor of The Evening Star:


If the weather bureau should exercise
greater care in Issuing frost warnings, the
bulletins would be Of more use to persons
having flowers and other plants to portect.
Last night the weather bureau did not pre-
dict frost for the District of Columbia, yet
am told by countryman that there was
frost this wednesday, morning. If so it
was no more than should have been ex-
pected by any one who observed atmos-
pheric conditions yesterday afternoon.
There was every indication of frost in case
there should be lull In the wind Persons
directly interested would greatly appre-
ciate more accurate bulletins as to tempera-
ture. especially during the autumn and
spring. THOMAS w. GILMER.

the long skirts that man has not always In

FRENCH FOND OF sNAILs.
But Americans Are Slow to Appre-
ciate This Dainty.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York SUM-
French statisticians have discovered
that during last winter 100000 tons of
snails were consumed in Paris. This
indicates a renaissance for the sail,
for although it has always been es-
pecially esteemed by the French peo-
pie, 1t has fallen into disfavor for a
season or two past, owing to the fact
taken up largely by spectators, who
have aimed at quantity rather than
quality in their productions.
Many of the snails sold I'm Paris
really come from Burgundy and the
Savoy districts, but are represented as
from the vineyards of Dijon and Ma
con. One of the methods of the specu-
lating snail growers is to raise them in
pens of tarred boards that prevent the
mollusks from travelling far.
Much depends on the proper culture
of the snail. In ancient Rome, the
raisers fed them on flour and wine,
thus giving them fatness and flavor.
Americans as a class do not share the
enthusiasm of the French as regards
the snail. The care that is necessary
for their proper preparation debars
them from the field of the average
cook absolutely, and great chefs fail
sometimes ii they have not the proper
French blood in their veins. Even at
the fashionable restaurants ii is often
impossible to obtain snails. When they
are served they are tough and leathery,
and people wonder why they have ever
been included in the lists of good
things.
At the French restaurants, the best
of these establishments only. can one
get snails cooked properly, and persons
who have once tasted them return
again and bring friends whom they
wish to surprise with a new dish.

RUSH HAS PAID BILL.
His Attorney Advised Him to Settle
Up With Water COMPANY.

William Rush, of the Eighteenth
ward, has decided to abandon his pro-
iected suit against the Scranton Gas
and Water company to compel that
corporation to charge him IL meter rate
for his property, on Railroad avenue,
instead of a yearly rate.
He waited on President Scranton yes
terday morning, accompanied by his
attorney. After the whole matter had
been thoroughly discussed, his attor-
ney advised him to pay according to
the yearly rate, and he did so, paying
also $3.50 for shutting off and turning
OH the water again.
1t will be remembered that Mr. Rush
had been paying for his water accord
ing to meter rate, when the company
decided to charge him Il yearly rate
When he discovered that the yearly
rate was far higher than the meter rate
he refused to pay it, Whereat the water
was shut off. He then threatened to
bring a suit in equity.
| President Scranton said yesterday
that Rush kept a saloon up to a year
ago, and for this reason secured a
meter rate, being large consumer.
When the saloon was given up the
yearly rate was put in force.

Easter at Atlantic City.

OF all the festivals we hear of, that
which closes the Lenten season at At
lantic City is the grandest and most
unique imaginable. First, Atlantic
City is grand because of its size Think
OF it; Accommodations for hundred
thousand guests and regal accomoda-
tions too. Its popular board walk has
no comparison anywhere, for it's length
is nearly 5 miles, and on Easter Sunday
the entire promenade is crowded by "a
gaily attired throng. Hundreds of roll
chairs are in use. Bands furnish ap-
propriate music and the life one sees
there is unequaled. The temperature
is delightful, and the visitor is carried
away with the surroundings.
The quickest and best route to Allan
tic City is via the Jersey Central. which
operates hour service from New York
at $40 a. m. and $40 p. m, with a
special train Saturday, March 29th, at

ADVANCE IN MOVING PICTURES
Will Be Demonstrated on Howe's
Return Engagement.

The taking of moving pictures has
become an art in itself and this art has
advanced at an unusually rapid pace
to a goal of perfection in the past four
years. The photographers of moving
pictures have visited and searched in
every remote corner of the earth and
have spent not only days, but months
and even years in their determined ef-
forts to secure the life motions of some
new and strange subject. Lyman II.
Howe has kept pace with the moving
picture advancement, as his high-class
exhibitions always attest, and this sea-
sons show far eclipses all his previous
efforts.

ance in the High school auditorium,

In speaking about the proposed de-
mand that will be made by the miners
of this district to have their coal
weighed and paid for on that basis, a
prominent operator stated to a Trib-
une man yesterday that the PROPOSE
tion is entirely out of the question, and
from his point of view the miners
would not be able to make as much
then as they do now. If the operators
were to pay the miners by the pound
or ton each car would have to
be weighed before and after being
loaded, scales would have to be
placed in every mine, and in some
places several scales would be neces-
sary. Weighmasters would have to be
appointed and paid good salary, and
there would be many other Incl
dental expenses, all of which would
necessarily increase the cost of get
ting coal on the market.
Another important thing which would
initiate against the adoption of the
weighing system would be the time
lost in weighing every car before and
after being filled in the mines.
The average mine car will hold about
two ton, but when the dirt and slate is
weight of the coal is much less. AS
suming that every car furnished the
miner in his chamber was weighed be-
fore being loaded and again after it
was filled, it would take at least one
minute for each transaction and tend
TO decrease the output of the mine.
In regard to the S-hour question,
the operator said it would benefit the
drivers, runners and others who now
work ten hours in the mines, but it
would serve to reduce their wages and
increase the working force necessary
TO operate a mine.
If the laborer insists on receiving
the same amount of pay as the miner
and working the same number of hours,
and the miner refuses to pay it, and
discharges the laborer, and does the
work himself, it would greatly restrict
the output of coal, said the operator.
The miner cannot cut blast and load
the same number of cars per day him
self that is done by two men, and this
would be a further element in cutting
down the output of Il mine. The oper-
ators expect a given colliery TO pro-
duce a given amount of coal per day
and they will not look with favor on
any scheme that restricts the output.

1--WE serve quantities of snails each
day. said well-known French re-
taunteur. while Americans do not
generally appreciate the SNAIL they are
learning to regard them as quite an up
to-date dish to order. The prepare ton
of the snail for cooking requires care.
They must first be taken from their
shells with a little salt and washed in
cold water many times, then drained
and placed In stew pan covered with
water, salted. This method is called
a la Bourgogne, and Filipini who for
so many years was with Delmonico and
was famous for cooking snails, declared
1t the best way in which to serve them.
"A bunch of herbs is added to the
snails in the stew pan, with cloves and
whole peppers tied in bag. The snails
are cooked until they fall from their
shells; no longer. Then they are
emptied the tails clipped off and the
shells are scrubbed thoroughly. Some
shallots, parsely, butter and some cher
vii chopped fine are put in bowl with
sifted bread crumbs and one glass of
white wine and are mixed to a paste.
THE shells are partly filled with this
paste. the snails replaced and more of
the mixture used to fill. Then they are
put in baking dish and are Drowned
for four minutes"
