BEA UYfFUB AND USEFUL.

Snow is not only beautiful, but it is also useful. This statement may seem exaggerated to those who have to pay good money for it's removal, but there is testimony in support of it. Exten- sive experiments have been made re- gently to determine the effect of snow on the atmosphere. Shallow glass dish- es containing preparations used in making germ cultures were exposed to the air for three minutes in ten differ ent localities when there was no snow ol the ground. After requisite time for incubation had passed it was found that the average number of germ colo nies in each dish was 630, the highest number found in any one dish being 1050. The experiment was repeated af ter snoWstorm that was equivalent to a rainfall of little more than a fourth of an inch, and it was found that the average number of germ colonies re- sulting was but siXty-six. One dish contained but nineteen colonies
 Perhaps if there had been more snow there wouldn't be so much smallpox.

repetition of what happened In 1SS4-- no peace at a questionable price" As for MT. Chamberlain, his success in de- veloping unity of sentiment between the colonies and the mother country was applauded to the skies. "No one man in the Empire at the present mo- ment," said the Premier of New Zea- land, more truly represents British feeling and sentiment than MT Cham berlan. Count von Bulow has called attention to the Triple Alliance. Its existence is well known, but it does not cause the slightest alarm"
 This and more like it isn't mere talk. New Zealand is sending another con tingent to help finish the war, and pro- poses to resent alleged reflections on the British army by boycotting Ger man trade.

THE PEAhSYLV1AIA 7RAGEDY.

' T
 These are rather tame times, but there is nothing tame about the trag it. Yesterday we read how John and
 Edward Riddle, brothers condemned to
 guards and escaped from jail early in
 the morning. For desperate nerve and
 cold blooded brutality this jail-break-
 ing has seldom been equaled. One
 guard was flung over q railing to a stone floor fifteen feet below. Another was shot while struggling with one of the prisoners, and then beaten until helpless. A third was driven back at the muzzle of a revolver Then the two latter were locked in cells, the murder CTS took the keys from the body of the unconscious guard and went to the of- flee, where they changed their clothes. A few moments later they passed through the wardens residence to the street. It appeared that they had had the help of the warden's wife, who had fallen in love with one of them. She went away with them
 To-day we read another chapter in the dreadful story. Yesterday after noon eight officers who were pursuing the fugitives got near enough to them to open fire on them. The battle was a hot one while 1t lasted and it was participated in by the warden's false wife When it ended 1t was found that one of the men was mortally wounded, and the other badly wounded and that the woman had shot herself in the breast, without doing herself much damage. Fortunately none of the pur- suing officers was hurt
 Strenuous efforts were made to save the Riddle brothers from being hanged It now looks as if one of them had es- capped that fate, and possibly both have. As for the amazing woman in the case it would have been well for her if she had succeeded in killing her ,o1c

HICAGO ASPIRATIONS.

Some of Chicago's aspirations will
 soon take shape in buildings which
 will reach far toward the sky. Several
 years ago the city council passed an
 ordinance limiting the height of build ings to 130 feet-practically ten stories.
 Much of the dealing in the real estate of the congested district had been con- ducted on the theory that the only limit in the height of office structures there was the sky. Upon the value of real estate in this neighborhood the re- strictive measure had an unfavorable effect. More recently office space in the business quarter has been at a pre- mium, and plans of new constructions have been drawn up, the execution of which calls for an expenditure of be- tween fifteen and twenty millions of dollars. Some nine new buildings are planning, all of them meant to be more than ten stories high, and all of them impossible legally to construct unless the ordinance be repealed, or exemp- tions obtained from it's terms. The Ju- dietary committee of the city council has already decided to remove the re- striction on high office buildings, or, at any rate, to amend the terms of the law so that buildings may be built to hon noh nf inc nf is thought altogether likely that the of the committee will projected construction will be allowed to go on.
 Why not? Chicago can never be beautiful, but it can be lofty.

ENGEAND,S LoTAL COLONIES.

England is proud mother in these days, and she has reason to be- Her colonies are standing by her most loy- ally. For instance, New Zealand is red hot with patriotism. At great meeting recently held at Wellington to express emphatic approval Of the atti- tude of the British in the conduct of Inc south African war and to record appreciation of the complete refutation by MT Chamberlain of foreign islanders upon the honor of the British forces serving in South Africa one of the speakers held that Cape Colony, Ma tai, Canada and Australia and New Zealand, with their forces, can finish the war A miscalculation has been made if they think the army is tied up in South Africa. We will stand by the
 flag, which is a charter of liberty and beacon that leads to true happiness and prosperity. There should be no

The House and the Vine.

The house is old--its windows racked; Its doors are falling down; Where once the danny tlntings were Is now a faded brown. The steps are routing; in the porch Great gaping holes are seen; The root-tree's broken; with thick mould The boards are fairly green. The yard is filled with weeds and trash; The walk is crumbing fast; The trees and shrubs are broken-all Their beauty days are past. The sagging rails tug at their posts AS though they fan would drop. Aye, all is drear and desolate
 From floor to chimney top. And yet about the crazy door And round the tottering stoop Chambers and cings tendriled vine In many verdant loop; And on that vine bright blossoms glow And smile through all the day; From every dainty howr the bees Sweet burdens bear away. The broken house--a ruined man With blighted life and fame; Soul-windows dimmed, q tarnished coat A more than tarnished name. The clinging vine, woman's love Perchance mem'ry dear Whose fragrant blossoms bless the world Through all the changing years.

A DEAL IN BUTTER,

Women living on Washington boule-
 yard in Austin were recently excited to find on their doorsteps one afternoon a
 small handbll which announced that
 the advertiser had for sale "the best
 creamery butter" at the surprisingly
 low rate of 15 cents pound, or little
 more than half the market price. The
 bill went on to say that the butter of-
 fered was perfectly fresh and that the extremely low price was made in order to introduce it.
 Not more than one pound will be sold to any person. it said, and ad- dress given was a private house on Willow avenue. A good many of the women went over next morning and sent other people in their interest so that they might get more than single pound of the great bargain. They found when they reached the address given that the woman of the house knew nothing of the bill or the butter and was indignant at the practical joke which had been played on her She asked her husband about it when he came home that evening and showed him one of the bills Then the mystery was explained.
 A year or two before he had been forced to take possession of several hundred pounds of butter in settlement of an old debt and he had decided to sell it among his peighbors. With that idea in view he had a lot of bills printed But his wife so strongly ob- jected that he had sold the butter in town and hidden the bills away in the barn without saying anything about them to his wife
 The day before the recent excite ment Willie, the small boy of the had found the bills, and, with the assistance of a half dozen friends, had distributed them over the neighbor- blood. That night Willie went out to the barn again. This time his father him. And it is safe to say that the next time he is inspired to do especially bright he will re- that interview and resist the Tribune.

FREAK OF THE LAW OF
 GRAVITY


 GRAVITY
 A paper by Major Burrow, R. E., read at the meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society, discussed a curious fact ascertained by the applica- ton of scientific methods of measure ment to the survey of India, namely, that the northerly Reflection of the plumb line ascribed to it's attraction by the great mass of the Himalaya and the Tibetan upland, is reversed along comparatively narrow belt between 222 degrees north latitude crossing India from east to west for 1000 miles. Here the Reflection is southerly, while the northerly dehection reasserts itself farther south, and is continued as far as IS degrees north latitude. The zone, so strangely exempted from what has been supposed to be general law, runs across central India from the Delta of the Ganges to that of the Indus, but well to the south of the great Gangetio plain.
 Major Burrows theory is that it fol- lows the axis of what he calls subterranean chain of mountains causing the greater density of the earth's crust in this particular tract The hypothetical range would, we are at liberty to conjecture, either have foundered bodily in some great catast- rophe, or subsided gradually and been submerged under alluvium and silt. The fact opens up an interesting subject for the discussion of geologists. From the Tablet

Eggs treated in this way are said to preserve their fresh, milky taste for six months and to be indlstinguishabe from the egg taken straight from the nest.
 Eggs, of course, merely submerged in water would probably get stale more quickly than when kept under dry con- ditions, The question of the effectual preservation of eggs is of the utmost importance and one which British pro- ducers have perslstently ignored, an in- applicable attitude by which much val uable food is wasted and a source of profit thrown away,--Lancet.

KEEPING FRESH EGGS FRESH.


 On no subject, perhaps, is there a greater conflict of opinion than on the preservation of eggs Some urge that the newly-laid egg should be kept dry and others that it should be kept moist or even immersed in fluid. Of course, by effectually sealing the pores of a shell as with wax or grease the non1- ent the egg is laid, no difference in weight by the loss of moisture can oc- cur, and it is unlikely that anything can enter the egg from the outside. There is little doubt that the change from a fresh to stale condition is partly d question of the loss of moisture and partly disturbance of equilibrium by external agencies. The simple method described by Sir w. T. Gardner in our columns about year ago would appear to establish this view.
 The method consists merely in greas- ing the eggs the moment they are laid and before they have cooled. This pro- cedure is so successful that eggs so treated are said to be as fresh to the taste when weeks and even months old as they are when eaten an hour after being laid. It is also suggested to inn merse eggs in a strong solution of sili- cate of soda or water glass. In this case the preservative effect is probably due to the formation of a hard glassy of lime within the substance of the shell. forming, so to speak, a per- fectly alright envelope of glass. The egg is in a way dramatically sealed. This, however, is no argument in favor of wet storage, and even by the silicat- ing process we imagine that the abso lutely newly-laid warm egg must be se- lected for the purpose. It is well known, further, that waterglass pos sesses a powerful antiseptic action.

An effort is to be made in the Cana
 dian parliament, which will convene next month, to create courts having jurisdiction over divorce cases. AS the Dominion law now stands, the senate has exclusive control over such mat ters Divorce bills are considered by committee of nine, and the findings of this body are ratified pro forma by the senate. Costs of procedure vary from $700 to $5,000, so that none but the wealthy can afford to be divorced in Canada. Chief Justice Meredith of On tario recently refused to allow prosecu- tior for bigamy in a case where a Cana dian couple had moved to the United States, been divorced there and return ed to Canada after remarriage to other persons. This judicial notification of Dominion statute has stirred society north of the lakes, and the costly ma chjnery of senatorial divorces now seems to be in danger.

It's hard to keep good boy down. It is related that less than an hour after the explosion in the New York subway a little chap appeared on the scene with his head all bandaged up, his face bear ing the scare of contact with broken glass, one of his arms in a sling and a limping leg. He had been in the imme- diate vicinity of the crash, and had suf- fered the consequences. He bound up his wounds the best he knew how, and forthwith proceeded to load himself up with bundle of extras telling all about the explosion. And when a benevolent man approached him and asked him why he didn't go to the hospital the en- terprising youth yanked out one of his extras and yelled: Have a paper, sir? All about the big dynamite explosion"
