CHAT WHICH WE SHARE"


1t Is not always those who have
most VINO give most. A woman, not
unknown in literary circles, tells Of an
incident which happened to her when
she was passing through a severe
trial. She was writing for weekly
puDl1catlon, when her husband was
taken dangerously ill., and her earn
1ngs were rendered doubly important.
After long and painful sickness he
began Slowly to recover, but his con-
valescence was a tardy and expensive
process The strain Of nursing and
keeping up her professional duties
began to tell seriously on the wife's
strength. To add to the difficulties,
the weather grew very hot, and both
the invalid and his wife pinned for the
fresh breezes of the sea.

but woman came in twice a week
to do the heavy work. This scrub
woman was an Italian of the most ig-
GRANT class. Her husband had a fruit

Mrs. Poll must have been pretty
when she was young; but, after the
manner of her class, she had early
grown aged and wrinkled with hard
work. But her white teeth were al
ways ready to flash into smile. One
day she gazed at me earnestly.
"YOu loOk-a bad" she said. "You

off the question. The next time Mrs.

"You look-a bad,' she repeated

The woman stood silent for a mo-
ment. Then she said softly, almost
pleadingly:
II have-a money in the bank"
The hand which I seized was coarse
and Woodworking, it was not even
clean, but it seemed to me the most
gracious hand in the world. What
pitiful little sum she had stored away
1 do not know, but if it had been mill

offering. She seemed disappointed
that I did not avail myself of her
riches, and 1 could not make her un-

Prof Snyder Tinds 1t in Aurora
Borealis and In Star Spectra.


Prof. Snyder rinds 1t in Aurora
Borealis and In Star Spectra.
Professor Monroe B. Snyder, of the
Philadelphia Observatory, read a pre-
liminary paper before the members II
the American Philosophical Society on
his recent announcement of the dis
covery of radium in the philosophers
OF the sun, which discovery is more
important than appears on the sur
face, because, if Professor Snyder is
borne out by subsequent investiga-
tons, it means the entire destruction
OF many laws of science which have
been regarded as fixed. Kischoff's law
OF radiation and absorption, for in
stance, is ruthlessly set aside by the
new discoveries, as well as the nebu-
lar theory of the formation of CELESTIAL
bodies and many other acce' ted beliefs
of physicists.
In this the professor finds the cause
of heat and luminosity of the celestial
bodies. The variable stars, the pro.
fessOr thinks, are not caused by one
body revolving about another, but he
attributes their regular fiuctuatio. ; of
light to the fact that they are be les
which have periodical outbursts of ra-
dio-activity. This ne calls critical ra
dio-activity, and makes the statement
that the sun is variable star, with a
period Of eleven years, and that sun
spots are one of The demonstrations
CT results of these outbursts of radium
emanatiOns.
The presence of certain rings of
light which have been observed in the
nebula of Orion and other nebula by
prominent observers, have never been
satisfactorily explained. These rings
are clearly to be seen in the photo.
graphs of that particular portion OF
the heavens, but their cause has been
matter of conjecture
Professor Snyder now says that ne
has sufficient evidence to warrant him
in making the assertion that they are
from medium to another of the radium
emanatiOns, or what the professor
calls critical radio-activity. This ra-
dio-activity plays most important
part in the energy of the universe. In
it the transformations of energy and
matter are bound up together. Be.
hind the positive action is negative
process by which the discharge Of the
element, with its light and any mate
rial which may be carried with them,
are again coalesced into stars and
probably future worlds.
Professor Snyder quotes the works
of Soddy and others, who intimated
the possibility of the existence of some
vast and unsupported power or agency
at work around us.

Because Capt. Richmond 2. Hobson

there is much discussion rife and an in

THEY MAKE SNOW IMAGES.
Much Skill Shown by Residents OF
Andreasberq, Germany.

In the little town Of Andreasberg, in
the Harz Mountains, of Germany, max.
ing snow images has been reduced to
a science, under the stimulus of an an
nual snow festival, in which the resi-
dents of the town compete for prizes
Those New York boys who, rolling
three balls of snow of different sizes
into shape, pile one atop Of another
and gouging holes in the uppermost,
have styled them eyes and mouth and
the whole "a snow man. should pay
visit to Andreasberg. The snow
men there are to the snow men OF
American youth as the works of the
master sculptor are to the efforts OF
the neophyte. There a snow man is
man indeed Nor is the skill of the
townspeople confined to the snow man.
Feminine figures, groups, animals, me-
chanical devices and many others as
difficult of execution are worked out
in snow
The festival, organized in 1895, has
come to be an affair of considerable
interest in that part of Germany, and
during the time it is in progress the
little village is thronged with guests.
One year four thousand persons en-.
joyed the sport.
The task of the judges is by no
means an easy one. In back yards,
front yards and in the streets before
the houses the models have been set
up. That worker in the snow is wisest
who waits until the last moment and
then works swiftly and skilfully, for
the sun is no more merciful to snow
in that country than in this. Many a
good sculptor's work has been reduced
to shapeless mass before the judges
got around just because the sun would
not hide it's face.
A favorite custom among the snow
sculptors is to reproduce scene from
some we'll known fairy tale. Thus at
one of the festivals of the Pied Piper
of Hamelin was pictured group Of
snow children dancing merrily to the
imaginery music from his snow pipe
Little Red Riding Hood, in hood as
white as snow, confronted a huge
white wolf. The Babes in the Wood
faced wicked old witch, who later
got her just deserts beneath the rays
of the sun. Love and the Lion was
another snow piece, in which love
looked rather cold, but either the
weather or the sight of her literally
|
An electric car was feature of one
festival 1t was a fine piece of work
originally, but a day or two in the
sun made it look as if it had figured
in a wreck.
A steam engine in which many of
the intricate parts of the real machine
were reproduced in snow was the fea,
ture of another festival.-New York
Tribune.
