SNOW CRYSTALS.
They Invariably Conform to tho Rule
of Six.

Ihey invariably CONFORM TO the Rule
Of Six.
What magic Is there in the rule Of
six that compels the snowflake to con-
form so rigidly to It's laws? Here is
germ bestrewn realm Of nature pos
sessing the charm of mystery. Of the
unknown, sure richly to reward the
investigator.
Much wonder has been excited be-
cause the snow crystals exhibit such q
bewlldering diversity and beauty.
They form within very thin gaseous
solvent, the air. and this allows the
molecules Of water an unexampled
freedom Of motion and adjustment
while arranging themselves In crystal
form. The fact doubtless largely ex-
plains why the crystals of snow fur
exceed other crystals In completely
and symmetry. Snow crystals. like all
crystals of water. develop under the
bexagonal system and invariably d.
vide into six. Nothing absolutely GER
tain Is known as to why they grow
thus except as 1t is assumed the num-
aud repellent poles possessed by tho
molecules Of water Impose this habit
Of growth on them. This dividing into
six Is necessarily discussed and best
explained In somewhat technical
sounding terms. We may assume each
water particle or molecule possesses
TWO opposite primary poles. positive
and negative. corresponding In direc.
lion with the main tabular axis Of the
crystals, and In addition three or six
equidistant secondary poles arranged
around what may be called the equa-
torial diameters of the molecules. Wa
ter, being diamagnetic substance and
susceptible to polar repulslon, presum-
ably has tendency to arrange itself
thus in a position between and ut right
angles to the primary electromagnetic
poles This alignment Of the lines OF
growth opposite to the lines Of greater
magnetic force would compel the erys-
tails Of snow to grow mainly outward
In the directions of their equatorial
diameters and secondary poles. This
theory would perhaps best explain
why the crystals grow upon thin tabu.

thing. 1t was Il white owl, and after
waite hing him for some time came
to the conclusion that he was trying
to get to the vane of the spire. A very
idle ambition II seemed. for, although
he succeeded again and again In get.

point aimed at, he was on each occa-
sion struck by fresh violent gust and
driven back to a great distance, often
quite out of sight In the gloom. But

A PATHETIC DUEL.
Sad Sequel to a Meeting In tho Days
When Middies Fought.

When Middies Fought.
one Of the most pathetic duels in
the early history of the American navy
was that between two young midship-
men whose names are not given in the
record. according to n recent writer.
Their ship was In the Malayan wa
ters. One hot night they quarreled
over the question of leaving open the
scuttle. Tie dispute was finally set
tied amicably by the exchange of cots.
A superior officer who had overheard
their heated words made 1t plain to
one Of the midshipmen that he would
have to "call out" his friend II he
wished TO retain the respect of his
friends. To avoid ostraclsm and to
conform to the standard Of honor Inn
posed by his superiors the unwilling
midshipmnn challenged.
The meeting occurred on the sea-
shore. He wrote OF II afterward as
follows: Upon the signal we both
fired. found myself wounded and
was about to lean upon my seconds
arm when | perceived my opponent
fall upon the sand. My own wound
was In the fleshy part OF the thigh 1t
did not prevent my running to the
PROSTATE figure of my old friend.
whose face exhibited intense pain, and.
kneellng down by his side. | implored
his forgiveness. which he instantly
granted.
My despair ut his fate knew no
bounds, and. accusing myself of his
murder, upbraided with the bitterest
rcproaches those who had urged mo
to send the challenge. For weeks after
his cot was attended by his late oppo.
nent, whose greatest JOY WAS to antici.
pate his wants"
The wounded youth recovered. bu

service. died OF broken heart.
