why snow Fall. I'm Flakes.

Snow falls to the earth in flakes b.
cause 1t is water solidified in starliSo
crystals, each snowflake being usually
made up of several crystals, which are
excessively light on account of the
large quantity OF air among the frozen
particles. The snow crystals arise from
the slow passage of the water yapor
Of clouds, when the temperature falls
below freezing point, into the solid con.
diuon, the fairylike transforma ton
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 OF less per-
feet geometrical solid. The most com.
plete snow crystals are formed in
clear atmosphere. where there is moth,

The world has moved SO quickly Of
late that it is difficult to realize that
q century ago Russia occupied the
first place among European countries
for the cheapness and rapidity with
which the land transport of merchan-
disc could be effected.
The facilities for travelling and for
the conveyance of goods provided by
the sledge-then the easiest OF all
modes of transport by land-gave
Russia for half the year as great q
physical advantage over most other
Continental countries in this direo-
Non as Great Britain possessed by her
countless roads over the ocean wave.
visitors to Moscow a century ago re-
corded their amazement at finding
when dining with wealthy mobiles in
mid-winter fresh fruit and vegetables
that had been brought by rapid sledge
transport from the south. luxuries
that no money could at any time have
purchased in Paris, Berlin or even
London.
To the sledge road alone Russia
owed the possibility of her rapid ad-
vance TO the East, in which her en-
pire had increased at the average rate
OF little over eighty kilometres q
day since the reign Of Peter the Great.
The Russians gliding eastward over
the snow won their grand empire of
Northern and Eastern Asia just as the

theirs on the other side of the At.
