monds police lady and maid Every one is ia
mar with the petriied mantle Cardiff giant
fake, but perhaps the cleverest swindle of modern
times was that played off Ivan Zragof, the rich
diamond merchant of ST. Petersburg. The thief
posed as an aged and feeble general, who had
to choose a costly present, but unfortunately had
forgotten his purse. In his embarrassment he de-
cided to send his servant home with note to his
wife to send him 5000 rubles As. he could not
write owing to a palsied hand, the merchant wrote
the note for him. The money was received, handed
to the merchant, and the diamonds taken away.
That evening when Zragoff returned home, his wife
asked him why he had sent for such large sum
of money. He was thunderstruck, but investiga-
ton showed that the innocent note, addressed to
"Anna" and signed "Ivan," had been used to trick
the merchants wife, whose name was Anna and lis
own Ivan. The names being so common in Rus
STA the similtude had not aroused his suspicious at
the time the palsied old general had dictated the
message.
DR.. Cook has done distinct service to his coun-
trymen if the moral of his career be seriously pom
dered. In his case the exposure followed closely on
the heels of the imposture and in that detail may
not be typical of all fakes. Some time or other
truth will out, and some time or other every faker
and "four-fusher,' bunco-man and trickster of
whatever calling, denominations will be detected.
In the absence of moral sense, common sense and
his interests should keep man clear of false
hood and lift him above the low levels of trickery
cunning and deceit.

to thank Him for his goodness to u.s. and to beg Him
for all the helps need for our souls and bodies.
Now your contention might be plausible, if God.

WHY WAS DECEMBER VERY COLD?

Old-tmers and pioneers tell us that last month
the coolest December in the history of Utah.
Speaking the other day with one of our weather pro-
phets, who claimed to know the cause of the eX
ccptional period of sustained cold we mysti-
fed by his jargon and astonshed by his parallels,
but learened nothing We then had a talk with
of our leading meteorlogists-a ''wise guy who
studies the phenomena of our atmosphere-and
his barometrical observations his knowledge of air
movements, of the Gulf stream the Arctic current,
barometric pressure, meteorological conditions at
the equator and those of the torrid zone were mar
velous, but not Illuminating the December cold.
We then turned to our textbooks which treated OF
frost and snow, humidity, wind velocity, and kin
bred subjects, but again failed to approach the
information we sought. We decided that it
impossible, until science passed its nineteenth
fury limits, to explain the phenomena of very hot
summers excessively cold winters. We gathered
in our researches some interesting data and here

In 401 the Black sea was entirely frozen
In 1853, not only the Black sea- but the Straits of
Dardanelles were frozen over; the snow in some
places piled fifty feet high. In 822, the great
rivers of Europe, including the Danube and the
Elbe, hard frozen that teams with laden
wagons crossed them for month. In $50, the Adj
riatic frozen and thousands persisted from
the cold In 991 the crops totally failed in Austria
and the Rhine lands everything was frozen and the
year closed with famine and pestience. In 1867,
many travellers in Germany were frozen to death on
the roads, In 1874, the River Pc was frozen from
Cremona to the sea; the casks, filled with wine
burst, and the noise of the trees splitting from the
frost occasioned terror among the people. In 1884,
the Danube was frozen to the bottom, and animals
persisted in their stalls In 1903, the crops failed in
Scotland and the winter killed off thousands of the
poor, many perishing from famine. The winters
of 1882, 1888 and 1894 were terribly severe In
1901, the year that Philip, the Fair quarreed with
the Pope, the wine, served to the French soldiers,
cut with hatchets In 1853, it was excessively
