Snow as a Purifier of Atmosphere.

Snow a Purifier of Atmosphere,
From the Chicago Record Herald.
THE beautiful! snow" has a grander mis-
sion nowadays than to stir the poet to Joe
unC jingl9s. 1t is an emblem Of purity and
health in a deeper sense than Is conveyed
by its aspect OF milky whiteness 1t Is an
evangel of good health because it holds
down" millions of microbes and retards the
growth Of new ones. In Chicago it does
mere than this. 1t spreads moist blanket
over dirt and dust. preventing the wind
from blowing the disease-laden particles
into the air, where they are breathed into
our lungs
That snow is the great purifier of the at
mosphere in Chicago is demonstrated by
the tests made by the department of public
health. On the 18th, before the snowfall
shallow glass dishes containing the usual
preparation favorable to the growth of
atmospheric germs were exposed to the air
for three minutes in ten different localities
in the city. After seyenty-two hours in
cubation the dishes showed an average Of
ego colonies of growing germs, as high as
1000 being found IN one receptacle
On the 22d, after the snowfall the ex-
pertinent was repeated, with the result that
the average colonies from the same 7ex-
posures numbered siXty-siX, one receptacle
containing as low as nineteen.
As the snowfall on the 21st was only
equivalent to % of an inch of rain II is
reasonable to assume that under continu-
Gus old-fashioned New England snowfall
of atmospheric germs. I ne health author
tiles estimate that Chicago atmosphere was
80 per cent purer the day after this light
snowfall than 1t was before.

Every day when the church bells of
Woodstown calls the people to worship
she starts from her home for the church.
Unaccompanied, she approaches the
