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 a 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 discredit
the stories Of SNOWFALL showers told
them by the old guides till suddenly in
the midst Of an ordinary storm they
find themselves assailed as though by
myriads Of mischievous schoolboys.-

A. Clark of California was denied
last evening by Judge c. w.
Stanton of the district court, c. L.
Pratt of Grand Rapids appearing
for the plaintiff and M L. Dough
erty of Minneapolis and Judge M ].
A. Spooner as attorneys for the
defendants.
This case involves a $4,000 law
suit and a motion was made by
Attorney Pratt to bring in E. L.
Buck, a banker at Cohasset, and
others as defendants but after con.
sidering the arguments Of the attor.
neys, Judge Stanton denied the
motion. The case was brought on
for alleged Misrepresentation in the
sale of real estate, which the defen.
dants insist is simply a hold-up
scheme.

The Telephone.

- 81 ~
Professor Alexander Graham Bell IL
reported to have explained in lecture
how he came to invent the telephone
as follows:
my father invented a symbol BY
which deaf mutes could converse, and
finally invented an apparatus by
which the vibrations of speech could be
seen, and it turned out to be tele-
phone. 1t occurred to me to make a
machine that would enable one to hear
vibrations. l went to an aurist, and he
advised me to take the human ear as
my model. He supplied me with dead
mans ear, and with this ear expert
mented, and upon applying the appara-
tus I found that the dead mans ear:
wrote down the vibrations.
II arrived at the conclusion that If
could make iron vibrate on a dead
mans ear could make an instrument
more delicate which would cause those
vibrations to be heard and understood.
thought If placed a delicate piece Of
steel over an electric magnet I could
get vibration, and thus the telephone
was completed.
'1The telephone arose from my at
tempts to teach the deaf to speak. It
arose from my knowledge, not of cleo
trfcity, but as teacher of the deaf.
Had been an electrician I would not
have attempted it,

Eastinn In Ianan.

From time out Of mind, says the ia
pan Times, certain devotees Of that
country have visited a celebrated tenn
pie at Martha twice year to perform
the pious act of fasting within it's sa-
cred precincts. A fasting hall" has
been specially erected for their accom-
mediation. Observations kept on 226
men and 80 women who tasted showed
that Of the whole number 50 tasted less
than week, ia tasted one week, 10
continued fasting two weeks, ii tasted
three weeks, and one went without
food for five weeks. Inquiry as to the
motives Of the fasters showed that 100
men and Is women desired to rise In
the world, Ii men and 2 women want
ed to increase their business profits, 16
men prayed for the safety of their fam
lilies, Ii men and women sought cures
of diseases and 10 men wanted general
good luck. Only three, persons, two
men and one woman, tasted in graft
tude for the fulfllment of former pray
ers. 1T need scarcely be said," re-
marks the Japan Times, "that the peri
cd of their fasting was the shortest"

Odd Contrast. In Climate

New York is usually thought Of as
being directly west from London. It
Is, however, despite its far more rigor.
GUS climate, 800 miles nearer the equa.
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 and continues
through the center Of the isthmus Of
Kamchatka and Siberia and Russia to
Homburg.
It is astonishing, too, to reflect on
the fact that Montreal, with its win
tiers 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 compari-
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 its coast. Yet ST.
Johns is 100 miles nearer the equator.

COWan Is Elected Cashier.

Banker J. E. Cowan of Northome
has been elected cashier of the In
ternational State Bank at Interna-
tional Falls, according to a. state
ment made this morning by Pres
ident M. F. Murphy, who came in
this morning from the Falls" on
his way to his home in Grand Forks,
N. D.
The vacancy in the cashiership
was created by the resignation of
J. B. Mooney, son of w. ]. Mooney
of Langdon, N. D., who was killed
two months ago in the wreck of the
steamship Republic off the coast of
Massachusetts,. Mr.. Mooney left
the bank at International Falls to
take charge of his fathers bank at
Langdon.
Mr.. Cowan, who is president of a
bank at Northome. will move his
family to International Falls in the
near future and make his home in
the border town. Harry Hilliard OF
Reynolds, N. D., will act as assistant
cashier.
Mr.. Murphy reported that between
800 and 1000 men will be given
work on the dam and pulpmill at
International Falls as soon as the
season is far enough advanced to
insure pleasant weather. He re-
turned home this afternoon.

Rats on ships.

"Are rats destructive? Well" said
a captain of merchantmen, 81 once
knew them to get through $4,000 worth
of stuff in five days.
"Japan does an immense trade with
China in cocoons, and the first time I
carried such cargo they were packed
in sacks. When we got to Hongkong
we found that the rats had discovered
that part of a cocoon was good to eat,
and the bill for their board came to
$4,000. The shipowners were sued for
that amount; but, the packing being
considered faulty, the claim was dis
allowed. 1t was the first and last CO.
coon feast the rats had, for ever since
Japan has packed cocoons in zinc lined
cases.
every time a ship gets back to Liv-
erpool a rat catcher is set to clearing
out the rats, but by the time we have
loaded up again the rodents are every
bit as numerous. In some ports we use
rat guards on the ropes, and the ship
Is always fumigated before taking a
cargo Of fruit or tea. But there is no
getting rid Of them entirely. London

The Devil Coming.
The theatre patrons of this city

The theatre patrons of this city
will shortly enjoy an excellent treat,
one of the most talked of plays
throughout the country, 1.-THE Devil"
This is the play of the daring Hun
garian writer, Franz Mohar, whose
wonderous wit, impish imagination,
shavian satire and cheerful comedy
has already flashed his fame over
Europe.
1t was the women, perhaps who
loudest sing the praises of this witty
and wicked devil, but altogether
wholesome and humorous devil.
