THE COLD OF 1916.
Queer Weather That Came In "The
Year Without A Summer"


The year of 1916 has been called
"the year without a summer" The
Boston Congregationalist OF some
years ago gave the following account
of it:
January and February were mild,
March was cold, April began warm,
but ended in snow and ice. Ice
formed an inch thick in May, and
fields were planted over and over
again till it was too late to replant.
June was the coolest ever known in
this latitude. Frost and ice were COM
mon. Almost every green thing was
destroyed. Snow fell to the depth
of ten inches in Vermont, seven in
Maine, three in the interior of New
York and also in Massachusetts,.
There were a few warm days. It was
called a dry season. But little rain
fell. The wind blew steadily from the
north, cold and fierce. Mothers knit
extra socks and mittens for their
children in the spring, and wood
piles, that usually disappeared dur
ing the warm spell in front Of the
house, were speedily built up again.
Planting and shivering were done to-
gether, and the farmers who worked
out their taxes on the county roads
wore overcoats and mittens. On the
18TH of June a heavy snow fell in
New England. The cold was intense.
4 farmer who had large field Of
corn in Tewksbury built fires around
it at night to ward off the frost.
MANY an evening he and his neigh
bors took turns in watching them.
He was rewarded with the only crop
OF corn in the neiglrborhood.
Considerable damage was done in
New Orleans in consequence of the
rapid rise of the Mississippi river.
Fears were entertained that the sun
was cooling off, and throughout New
England all picnics were strictly pro-
hibited. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. Indian corn was nearly
all destroyed. Some iavorably situ-
ated fields escaped. August was more
cherries if possible than the sum-
mer months which preceded it.
Ice was formed hall an inch in
thickness. Indian corn was so 1ro-
zen that the greater part was cut
down and dried for fodder. Almost
every green thing was destroyed IN
this country and in Europe. On the
3oth snow fell at Barnet, forty miles
from London. Very little corn ripen-
ed in New England and the middle
states. Farmers supplied themselves
from corn produced in 1915 for seed
in the spring of 1917. 1t sold al from
81 to S. per bushel. September furn-
ished about two weeks Of the pleas
ATTEST weather of the season, but in
the latter part of the month ice
formed an inch thick. October had
more than its share OF cold weather.
November was cold and snowy. De-
cember was comfortable, and the
winter following was mild. Very
little vegetation was matured in the
eastern and middle states. The suns
rays seemed to be destitute OF heat
during the summer. All nature was
clad in a sable hue. and men exhibit
ed no little anxiety concerning the
future OF lie.

DEPARTMENT OF MINES.

A mining journal points out that when President Roosevelt reached the conclusion that a government depart ment of commerce and labor would be beneficial to the industries of the country he brought about the creation of such a department by congress. For the last two decades there has been frequent discussions of the proposi- ton to have congress provide for de- partment of mines and add to the presidents official family a cabinet officer who shall represent the min ing industry which has grown to such enormous proportions during the last decade.
 It is probably not generally known that our present mining laws were en- acted in 1864 and 1872, and for the past thirty-five years, with the excep- tion of some minor enactments re- carding assessment work, proof of it, etc. the laws remain the same. The result is that our mining laws are un- satisfactory and crude. That such state of affairs does exist is a re- flection upon the government and many are looking to the Roosevelt ad- ministration for the enactment of a set of mining laws that will be ade- Quate and up to date.
 Under the direction of a secretary of the department of mines and min ing the miners, the mining engineers and the investing public would receive a service that could not be measured by millions of dollars. The miners would be protected by laws that were in harmony with the requirements Of the present conditions. The investing public would obtain from the depart ment reliable and authentic informa- tion in regard to every mining proposi- tion in the country, and thereby would be protected from the relentless grasp of the fake mining schemers. The re- suit of which would be that the fax CTS would be driven out of business and the investors would put their
  mate mining company.
 As a matter of business policy we, as a great mineral producing nation, should be extremely careful to nou:- ish and promote our mining industry to it's highest hmit. The importance of mining reaches far beyond the in- terests of the miner; the railroad that transports the ore; the smelter that treats it, or the state in which it is Fained. Every ounce G mineral pro duced in our country is a direct bene- fit to every citizen in the United States. as it not only enriches us at home, but also strengthens our ere dit and enlarges our trade with foreign countries.
 Hardly a day passes while congress is in session that the manufacturing commercial and transportation inter ests do not receive special attention and favors in regard to the laws gov erning them. But for thirty-five years the United States government has either overlooked or ignored the greatest source of wealth. For the real commercial and financial growtf of our country dates from the discov cry of gold in the state of California in Is49. Certainly it is not necessar! to instruct the intelligent American people as to the value of their grea mining industries or of the need O having proper laws.
 The department of mines and min ing should be established at the ear Hest possible moment.

R. H. Woolf, who owns a ranch northeast of Phoenix, has been expert menting on a large scale as to the productiveness of the soil in the des- ert on the south side of the Salt river. MT. Woolf planted forty acres of bar ley and secured yield of ten sacks to the acre without irrigation. It would seem, judging from this experiment, that the desert soil is about as rich as any other in this section if it but gets a reasonable amount of water.

Rockefeller implied, in a little con versation which he had with a clergyman, that the idea of consoli- dating the churches is right because, in his opinion, the trust system "is beneficial to civilization" Possibly a better reason for harmonious action by the churches is that such a policy would destroy the trust systems ef- forts toward decivilization.

MUSIC AS A LURE.
The Way the Deadly COBRA In Cap
turcd In India.

The death dealing cobra Is passion-
atcly fond Of music, AMI 1t Is through
;his means that It's capture is often &C.
conplishcd. The men In India who
2nn effect the capture of this deadly
reptile must DC possessed of remark
ablc skill or their lives are the forfeit.
When cobra takes up It's abode in the
nclghborllood of Il dwelling house 1t is
customary to send for tho professional
snake cllarmcrs. One of them strikes
up tune near the place where tho
snake is supposed to be located. No
matter what the creature may be do.
ing, 1t is at once attracted by the sound
of music. 1t energies slowly from It's
hiding place and strikes an attitude In
front of the performer. There it Is
kept engaged with the music willie the
other man crccps UP behind with II
handful of dust. At convenient mo-
ment. when the cobra Is standing mo.
tionlcss. this man suddenly throws the
dust over the head and eyes Of the
snake. Immediately the cobra falls its
length upon the ground and remains
there for one short second, but the sec
ond Is enough. With movement like
lightning the man ScizcS the body OF
the prostrate serpent just below the
hcnd. In great anger the cobra winds
Itself round AMI round the arm of Its
captor, but to no purpose, for it cannot
turn It's head and bite. If the fangs are
to be extracted at once the cantor
presses his thumb ON the throat of the
cobra and thus compcls it to open its
mouth. The fhngs are then drawn
with pair of pincllcrs. If, however. he
wishes TO keep The snake intact for the
present the musician comes to help
him and fOrcibly unwinds the coils and
plnccS the body In Il basket. all hut the
head, which is firmly held by the other
man. He presses down the lid to pre-
vent the cobra from escaping, and sud
denly the captor thrusts the head In
and bangs tho lid.
y very expert performer can capture
the snake single handed, though it is
highly dangerous. While playing with
one hand lie throws the dust sideways
with the other and captures the snake
with The same hand. The Whole action
must be like flash OF lightning. for Il
half seconds delay or the mercst bun.
Cling In throwing the dust or catchln
the snake would prove fatn to the
operator.

AN ODD VERDICT.
Why an Indinn's Horse was DccInr-

a man who has Travelled extensively
In the west among other anecdotes told

matched against Il swift footed pony
which WAS the property of cowboy.
The pony was known by the white
men 10 he better racer than the other
animal. and the race had been ar
ranged for the purpose OF Fleeing tho
redskins. An iinpr0mptu course OF Il
mile had been arranged, and the race
was to be four times over the course.
The cowboys gave their rider instruc-
tons TO hold the pony back until the
finish, SO that they could induce the In
dians TO make big bets.
"Tlic Indians horse took the lead Mt
the start and retained It, The COWBOYS
offered more money MS the race pro-
crossed. and the Indians, seeing their
horse In the lead, took the wagers. So
it went until three and n half miles
had been covered and the Indians had
bet all their possessions against the
money of the cowboys. Then the cow
boy rider put the spurs to the pony.

ana crossed the line i've lengths ahead.
There were three Judges. Two of
them were Indians. and the other was
