A REAL BUT sEcoyD-cLAss BLIZZARD.

A REAL But SECOND-CL4SS BLIZZARD.
The practical Inconvenience from which the
metropolis and its suburbs suffered yesterday
and the day before in consequence of the last
storm was distinctly greater than has been ex-
perienced before during the current season.
Commuters encountered greater delay in reach
ing their homes Wednesday night than for years
previous People who were obliged to wade
through snOwbanks to reach their homes were
Immersed to their knees and even TO their waists
in some localities. There was a grave threat
of a milk famine, too because of the blockade
on the railways. Yet the Weather Bureau as
serts that only half an inch more snow fell this
time than was recorded on January and that
the maximum wind velocity was only 46 miles
an hour, whereas As miles was registered three
weeks ago!
The difference In the effects of the two storms
was undoubtedly due TO the prevalence of great
er cold oil the later occasion than earlier in the
month. The temperature was fully 10 degrees
lower and the character of the snow was ma
wet flakes which would stay where they landed,
the air was filed with f1ne dry particles which
shifted like sand. From the same amount of
precipitation much worse drifts were thus pro
duced than have been formed at any previous
time this winter. Besides, the singing lombard
ment to which the faces of pedestrians were ex-
posed was without a precedent for months IL
not years, and fully justified the employment of
that much abused term, "a blizzard"

SCI. Systematically supply the demand for
Americans. ct we have not heard Of any
serious attempt being made to enforce the. law
In the case of theatrical agents. There are
agencies which pay - or 30 cents for every
woman sent to them by q boarding house, q
transaction clearly inhibited by the law There
are boarding houses which try 10 evade con-
troll as agencies by securing work for those who
have paid weeks board, and there are even
saloons which act agencies for the patron
who buys a dollars worth of drinks. The law
clearly covers those who thus take an indirect
fee. but ii is not enforced Some agencies cheat
their patrons by limiting the time for the re-
turn of unearned fees to a single and incon-
yenient hour.
These and many other violations of the law
may be discovered by anybody who takes the
trouble TO know at all what is going on in the
intelligence Offices Yet If Mr. Keating has
discovered them in all these months, he has
thought them trivial and done little or moth
ing until q sensational case is forced upon him.
Instead, he has been devOtng himself to max
ing up staff in defiance of the Ciyil Service
law. Important as are the sensational cases,
he should realize that it is only by the strict
enforcement of the law in all its details and
readiness 10 use his discretion TO its full limit
in revoklng licenses for violations that he can
weed out the INSCRIPTIONS agents and protect
seekers for work. The law was not drawn care
lessly; its requirements not idle. 1t was
made to meet specific well understood condi-
tons by specific remedies, and Mr.. Keating's
duty is TO enforce that law with all the powers
he can discover for himself in it, not TO emas-
culate it either by latitudinarian Interpretation
or administrative Indifference. He has had
time enough to get fitted to the harness.

The King of nIolIunlxn.

The king Of mollusks lives in the In
dian and south Pacific oceans. He at
tains to weight of 500 pounds and the
shell is of the bivalve kind, and the
shape is about the same as that Of our
common fresh water mussel. The gi-
gantic trldacna is the largest mollusk
known to have lived on the earth since
the silurian age. 1t is found on the
bottom Of the shallow parts Of the
ocean, and the large individuals have
no longer the power to move about
They lie on one side, and all about
them the corals build up until King
Tridacna is sometimes found in a we'll
