Why Snow Is White.

The reason that snow is white Is that
all the elementary colors are blended
together in the radiance that is thrown
on from the surface of the crystals,
which may be examined in such a way
as to detect these colors before they
are mingled together to give the eye
the impression of Wilderness.
The Wilderness of the snow is also
in some degree referable to the quan-
tlty OF air which is left among the
frozen particles Considerably more
than thousand distinct forms of
snow crystals have been enumerated.
These minute crystals and prisms re-
fleet all the compound rays OF which
white light consists.-Chicago Trib-
une.
