Beyond any question the aristOcrat
Of the canine family Is the Russian
wolfhouad, otherwise the borzol or
barzoi, which is the Russian name for
coursing dog. There Is Il refined ele-
gance coupled with the indication OF
speed and strength about the Russian
wolfhound which no other breed pcs

Ia western Europe he is merely the
ornamental companion that he is in
eastern America. In the coyote section
of our continent he can be made as
useful as he is in Russia. and TO assist
In clearing off that scourge of the cat
tie ranches. When the borzoi was first
brought TO this country he was hailed
as a natural born wolf destroyer, and
We started business under the impress

q borzoi see a coyote and the latter
death warrant was as good as executed.

Why snow Falls In Flakes.

Snow falls TO the earth in flakes be-
cause it Is water sOlidified In staritke
CRYSTALS. each Snowflake being usually
made up Of several crystals, which are
excessively light on account or the
large quantity of air among the frozen
particles. The snow crystals arise from
the slow passage Of the water vapor
Of clouds, when the temperature falls
below freezing point, into the solid con-
dition, the fairylike transformation
taking place by the tiny independent
particles of water grouping themselves
with the utmost mathematical regular
ity around different centers.
Each crystal Of snow, as OF anything
else. Is therefore more or less per
feet geometrical solid. The most COM
plete snow crystals are formed In a
clear atmosphere, where there Is moth
ing TO retard the gradual process OF
crystallization or molecule construction
Rain on the other hand, being liquid
