GA wig can make the greatest diff ference in a mans appearance,' said the hotel clerk.

She said this had been going on for week or more. Hooked up the register, and found that room SIS was assigned to one man, and set out to investigate. The chambermaid said she had on several occasions seen a baldheaded man in dressing gown going and coming from the room to the bath, and then had noticed another man with curly black hair leave the room few minutes later.

DEPENDS ON PLACE OF BIRTH.
Just Because One Has Seen Snow One May Not Know All About
 Everything,


 When the young man from Florida came to live in New York he woke up one morn ing last winter and, going to the window, he looked out on what was to him a novel scene. It was a snowstorm, the first he had ever seen.
 Jumping into his clothes, he ran into the street. He stopped and gathered handfuls of snow and threw them in the air; he jumped into drift and sent it flying with his feet; he finally lay down and rolled i'll it-all this time shouting and laughing at the top of his voice.
 One of the crowd which had gathered to watch his antics went up to him and told him how his mother used to cure fits and volunteered to try it on him.
 'I haven't any," the young man said.
 Whats the matter with you, then"
 Why, don't you see the snow?"
 "Yes, 1 see it. What of it? have seen it before"
 Well, haven't" said the Florida young man.
 What! You never saw snow before?" asked the astonished questioner.
 Never. Seems strange to you, don't it ?'
 Tt beats any sample of verdancy l ever ran across"
 "Oh, don't know" unused the Florida cracker, according to the New York Mail and Express. Did you ever see an alligator eating black boy? No? Well, you are not so many, after all I have seen it many times" And throwing handful of snow down his shirt collar, he pursued his joyous gambols.

TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER.
Some Popular Errors aH to Meteor OLOgy Are Corrected by Weii-
 Known Scientist.

In recent paper sent to the Amer ican Geographical society Prof. Gan- nett, of the United States geological survey, treats of a number of popu- lar errors in meteorology and geog- raphy. A few of his points are sum- marized in what follows:
 Forests and Rainfall.-An example of the persistence of errors is the idea that the presence or absence of forests has an influence on the amount of rainfall. Some keen ob- servers long ago detected the fact that forested regions enjoyed heav- fer rainfall than those not foreSted, and jumped to the conclusion that rainfall was produced by forests, and that the removal of forests dimiu- ished the rainfall. Looking over the earth he found many treeless desert regions and forthwith instanced them as frightful examples of mans waste fitness. Syria, northern Africa, parts of Italy, are often quoted as illustra- tions of mans destruction of climate. In reply, man can certainly plead not guilty. The geography of this Medi- terranean region, the configuration of land and water, and the direction of the prevailing winds, are such as to give it a light rainfall-forests or no forest. The situation is really this. Want of rain prevents the growth of trees; want of trees does not prevent rain.
 Forests and Floods.-Another per sistent error is the belief that floods formerly because of the cutting down of forests in their drainage basins. It is probable that the clearing of land by cutting away forests and un- dergrowth does change the regimen of streams, increasing their flood height and diminishing the flow at low stages. In other words, water probably runs off or evaporates more rapidly from bare ground than from ground covered with forests. But where the forests are cut away the ground is seldom left bare; it is cul- tivated or quickly becomes covered with bushes which hold the water quite as effectively as forests. The main fact is, however, that the floods in our rivers are no greater or more frequent now than in the past.
 Climates and Ocean Currents.-The well-known mild climate of the north west coast of America is commonly attributed to the Japan current. The gulf stream is supposed to have the same influence on the western coasts of Europe, etc. But can it be sup posed that the Japan current, how ever warm it may be when it leaves the tropics, retains any appreciable excess of heat after journey of 6,000 miles in northern attitudes? As a matter of fact, no trace of this cur rent reaches the shores of North America. In the north Atlantic the condition is much the same. The gulf stream disappears as current long before the British isles are reached.

DUCHESS OF BUCCLEUGH.
 duchess of Buccleuch, nothing daunt- ed, refused point blank to ask the kings friend to make one of the dinner party. His majesty was furi- ous, and threatened to cancel his promise to dine with the Buccleuchs, whereat the duchess of Buccleuch re- torted that she was quite willing to send her resignation, as mistress of the robes, to Queen Alexandra. Later in the day the king thought better of it, informed the Buccleuchs that he accepted the exclusion of his ia vorite and forbade the duchess to resign.
 King and Premier at Outs.
 Those in touch with royal circles are busy gossiping about the re- ported tiff between Lord Salisbury and King Edward, which is said to have arisen on account of the kings demand that the premier recommend Sir Ernest Cassell for a peerage. Last fall the same request met with refusal This year it was again urged by the king, on the ground of Sir Ernest's munificent gift of { 100000 toward the cure of cousump- tion. The premier absolutely refused to countenance the suggestion, and at the end of stormy interview, which occurred the day the state din ner was held at Buckingham palace, Lord Salisbury remarked: Well, sir, suppose l had better leave my place at to-night's banquet vacant?" to which the king is said to have re- piled: "Yes, l think you had" and stalked out of the room. Since then, according to court gossip, King Ed ward and his aged prime minister have scarcely been on speaking terms.
 Many members of the nobility, es- pecially old, country families, make no secret of their disapproval of va rious events in the kings social life.
