MIL on sNowsHons. !
The Plan by which Mail Was Carried
Through Big snowdrifts.

Through Big snowdrffts.
It is said that the late Jock Darling.
the most noted hunter and trapper
ever known in Maine, once brought a
young deer out of the deep SHOWS OF
the woods by fitting snowshoes to its
feet. and there have been instances Of
dogs wearing the moosehide, but not
until a recent day. so far as the rec
ords show, did any one in this New
England state ever see a mule on
Snowshoes. The snow that came last
week was only an ordinary fall, but
the gale that succeeded 1t piled up big
drifts, shutting out many towns from
all communication with the outside
world Bingham, In Somerset county,
had been without mail for a week
when one evening, the mail carrier,
Henry Caswell arrived from The
Forks with four sacks slung over a
mules back The mule, Pete, Is a
diminutive animal, tough and strong,
but, going as mules generally 60, ut
terly unable to wade through the high
ridges of snow between The Forks
and Bingham. So Caswell, after study
ing the situation bit, decided to fit
snowshoes to Pete. The plan worked
all right and the little mule, seeming
to appreciate the situation, allowed
the shoes to be fitted without objec-
ton The shoes were made of oak
frames, woven with stout moosehide,
about half the width worn by men and
without the usual long shank behind.
Pete came along on his shoes as well
as Caswell on his, and the two were
welcomed with shouts Of approval by
the people of Bingham. The return
journey, twenty-four miles, was made
in the same way.

that the famines Of 1854, 1866, 1876
II and 1SS4-S5 fitted very closely to
the mean conditions between maxima
and minima, which came in 1928,
lS63-64, 1S74-75 and 1SS5-S6. Accord
ing to the Lockyers the recent Indian
famine was due to abnormal solar
temperatures. Under the rule a mean
temperature should have been reached
in 1897 or 1898. but spectrum observa-
tions show that it has not yet been
reached, and that consequently the eff
fects Of the minimum. which should
have occurred in 1899 and caused rain
from the southern ocean, have been
lost.
