SNOWFALL Showers,

More than one explorer in cold eli
mates has noted the curious phenome-
non of SNOWFALL shower" The balls.
it is true, are not very big, the aver
age being about the size of hens
egg, but they are true snowballs for
all that-compressed globes of snow.
not little Jumps of ice or hail. A fall
of the kind occurred in north London
in March, 1859. and at the time it was
observed that the balls seemed five
times as dense and compressed as ordi-
nary snow and in no way to be told
from the usual handmade missiles
They had fallen during the night and
were strewn many layers thick over
a very large area No cause-except a
doubtful electrical one-can be as
cribed for the strange phenomenon.
and mountaineers are apt to discre3it
the stories of SNOWFALL showers tod
them by the ole guides till suddenly in
the midst of an ordinary storm they
find themselves assailed as though By
nyriads of mischievous schooiboys.--

Odd Contrasts In Climate.

New York is usually thought of as
being directly west from London 1t
Isl. however, despite its far more rigor-
GUS climate, 800 miles nearer the eaua.
tor than is the British capital The
bleak coast of Labrador is directly
west of London. The same line passes
the southern part of Hudson bay and
Lake Winnipeg. On the other side of
the continent it touches the southern
extremity Of Alaska ard continues
through the center of the isthmus Of
Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to
Homburg.
1t is astonishing, too. to reflect on
the fact that Montreal. with it's win
ters of extraordinary severity. is $50
miles nearer the equator than is Lon
don. Montreal, indeed, is on the same
degree of latitude as Venice.
Another illustration Of the unexpect-
ed in contrasts is found in a COMPARE
son Of st. Johns. Newfoundland. with
Paris. Paris has a winter of compare
tive mildness, while ST. Johns is re-
gion Of bitter cold and fogs. with drift
ing icebergs along it's coast. Yet st.
Johns is 100 miles nearer the equator.

The Irritating Mississippi.

The Mississippi is the greatest irri-
tant in the United States. Its tickle
ness, conscious power and haunting
edGieS bring oathS to the lips of the
most respectable and law abiding resi-
dents along it's lower course. The
greatest admirers of the river, the peo-
pie who sing its praises with the most
emphasis. are the ones who go off on
tangent of temper quickest when
they find a new c:,ving of river bank
headed toward the newest and most
expensive levee, built to protect great
plantations. while just across the.
stream rise worthless bluffs and useless
sand bars. Talk to a Mississippi river
man-shanty boater, pilot, raftsman,
plantation owner or city nerchant-and
he will brag about the river wonders.
Its bigness charms him and makes him
feel large and elated. Bring him
around to his own experiences with
it, and suddenly shade Of resentment
crosses his face as he recalls shanty

DR.. Wiley will present three papers
These will be on THE Purpose and

the third will deal with the import

FOREST SERVICE
ADMINISTRATION
WORK TO BE HANDLED FROM
SIX FIELD HEADQUAR-
TIERS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-Announcr-
are to be the six administrative head
quarters of the United States forest
service along with the lists of the men
to be in charge of the various offices,
is expected to be made before another
week has passed.
The task of removing practically all
of the national forest business to the
field seems a stupendous one to a per-
son not familiar with the way the work
has been planned. Those who have had
a chances to visit the Washington offile
of the forest service during the past
two months have learned that there IS
an organized forest training school
running in the big brick building on
F street and that the men who are e
go into the field will have received
weeks of training in their new duties
before it is time for them to leave the
city. Other field officers have been
ordered into the local office and before
the time for change of administration
the thorough preparation will make it
possible for the men to take their
though the work had been going on
for months. ., n
Actual transfer of the national forest
business to the field will be made
gradually, SO that there will be practi-
cally no interference with the routine
work. When through, the change D.
administration to the six district head
quarters will mean much in expediting
and rendering the forest work fore
effective. The saving Of time in get
ting action on matter relating to adj
ministration will be one Of the most
important benefits Now. it takes from
four days to two weeks to get mail IL
Washington and receive reply at the
various points in the fourteen national
forest states. With the mail going ~
six central cities in the west instead
of to Washington, there will be a
marked saving in time in getting act
ion on matters relating to the admin
trat1on of the forests and the benefit is
sure to be felt by every forest user.

REPUBLICANS IN CONVENTION.
Candidates for State Offices Being
Named In Connecticut Today.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept S.-Can-
didates for state offices, representative
at-large in congress and seven presi-
Dental electors will be nominated by
the Connecticut republican convention,
which begins its sessions today, to eX-
tend through tomorrow. Party men
here today declare that republican
victory is certain and that Connecti-
cut will roll up big Taft majority
Three candidates are in the field
for the gubernatorial nomination
Governor Woodruff who is supported
by the business interests, but opposed
by the politicians; Lieutenant Cover
nor Everett J. Lake, who has a large
personal following, and Congressman
at-Large George l.. Lilley, who is sup
ported by the party organization and
who will consider a nomination and
election to be tantamount to a vindica-
ton of his course in Washington in
trying to investigate the submarine
boat contracts.
Most of the party leaders, have
come out for Lilley and the forecast
is that he has the best chance to win
a majority Of the convention delegates.
For cOngreSSman-at- large Senator
James F. Walsh of Greenwich and
Speaker John Q. Tilson Of New Haven,
are candidates and the organization
leaders are divided in their support.
Governor Woodruff's friends oppose
Senator Walsh because of the latter's
attack upon the governor at the last
session, when vetoes of trolley char
tiers were sent in, and Speaker Tilson's
candidacy is hurtful to the governor S
canvass. as it is contrary to precedent
to nominate two officers from the same
town.
