SNOW CRYSTALS.
They Invariably Conform to the Rule
Of Six.

They Invariably Conform to the Rule
Of Six.
What magic is there in the rule of
six that compels the snowflake to con
form so rigdly to its laws! Here is a
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
bewidering diversity and beauty.
They form within u very thin gaseous
solvent. the air. and this allows the
molecules Of water an uneXampIed
freedom Of motion and adjustment
while arranging themselves in crystal
form. The fact doubtless largely eX
plains why the crystals Of snow far
exceed other crystals in completely
and symmetry. Snow crystals. like all
crystals Of water. develop under the
hexagonal system and invariably di-
vide into six. Nothing absolutely GER
tain is known as to why they grow
thus except as 1t is assumed the num-
Der and arrangement Of the attractive
and repellent poles possessed by the
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-
ton 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 dianeters of the molecules. Wa
ter. being diamagnetic substance and
susceptible to polar repulsion. presum-
ably has a tendency to arrange itself
thus in Il position between ard at 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 crys'
tails Of snow to grow mainly outward
in the directions Of their equatorial
diameters and secondary poles Ihi,
theory would perhaps best explain
why the crystals grow upon thin tabu-
lar or in the hollow culumnar form
and increase so little in the directions
Of their main aXes--t,ili il. in the Iii
rection in which, it is assumed. their

A PATHETIC DUEL.
Sad Sequel to a Meeting In the 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 a recent writer.
Their ship was in the Malayan wa
tiers. One hot night they quarreled
over the question Of leaving open the
scuttle. The dispute was finally set
tied amicably by the exchange of cots.
A superior officer who had overheard
their heated words made it plain to
one Of the midshipmen that he would
have to "call out" his friend If he
wished to retain the respect Of his
friends. 70 avoid ostracism and to
conform to the standard Of honor i'm
posed by his superiors the unwilling
midshipman challenged.
The meeting occurred on the sea-
shore. He wrote Of 1t afterward as
follows: Upon the signal we both
fired. found myself wounded ana

arm when perceived my opponent

whose face exhibited intense pain. and.
kneeling down by his side, implored
his forgiveness. which he instantly
granted.
MY despair at his fate knew no
bounds, and, accusing myself OF his
murder, l upbraided with the bitterest
reproaches those who had urged me
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. but
had a withered arm, and, leaving the
service, died Of broken heart.

son, the Norwegian poet, novelist and
dramatist, reformer and advocate of
universal peace, died here surrounded
by his family. His end was peaceful.
The late serious illness of the novelist
extended over nearly year. He was
brought to Paris in the early part OF
last November for special treatment
accompanied by his wife and daughter
a physician and nurses and during
part of the journey travelled with the
king of Denmark in the kings private
car.
In Paris he was unable to receive
the treatment for arterio sclerosis
from which he was suffering, but not
withstanding this, he showed marked
improvement for time, due entirely
to his wonderful vitality. Again last
February his death was expected mo
mentarily, but the crisis passed, leav
ing him less able to Withstand the
next attack. During the past week il
Willmar tribune. [volume] (Willmar, Minn.) 1895-1931, 1910-05-04

was apparent that he could not hold
out much longer. Prior to his death
he was unconscious for some hours.
Bjornsjerne Bjorsen was born at
Kvikne, Osterdalen, Norway, Dec. 9Th,
1882. His father was a clergyman.
He completed his education at the
Universities of Christiania and Copen-
hagen, and first became known as tho
author of some of the articles and
stories which he contributed to news
papers.
In 1857 he returned from abroad,
and was first director of the theater
in Bergen, and afterwards for a short
time editor of the Journal Afterbladet,
in Christiania. AS journalist, Bjorn-
son expressed strong republican opin-
ions, which aroused considerable pub.
lie excitement. Finally he was con-
demned to years Imprisonment for
treason, but escaped to Germany, and
afterwards to America. He returned
to Christiania in 1882 when he once
more began the work of agitation
against the government and the union
Of the two Scandinavian kingdoms.
Ole Bull appointed him to the direc-
torship of the Bergen theater and in
1858 he put on the stage "Hilte
Hulda," and "Mellem Slagene" Other
notable plays written by him are
Kong Swere," the trilogy of "Sig-
urd Slembe," and the tragedy of
MARY Stuart" His comedy, Han
ske,'' was translated for the English
stage in 1894.
Bjorson's first novel "Sinnoeve
Solbakken,' appeared in 1857 and on
the celebration of it's fiftieth ami
versary at Christiania the novelist
received an enormous number of
greetings from all countries. It was
followed by "Arne," sketch of Nor
Wegian country life, "A Happy Boy"
and 1.-THE Fisher Maiden" both stor-
les of the peasontry.
AS a lyric poet Bjornson took high
rank. He was voluminous writer
and dramatist and in all his work
strove to become a vehicle of national
feeling, seeking to give expression to
the Norwegian spirit. He was regard.
ed as one of the most stimulating in
fuences for the revival of Scandina-
Wan literature.

ARE AFTER DAMAGES
ACTION IN SUPREME COURT
GROWS OUT OF TYPHOID
EPIDEMIC IN MANkATO.
SUITS BROUGHT BY TWO WIDOWS
Should Women's Appeal Be Sustained
Many Suits Against Cities Would
Result Is Belief Of Attorneys.

st. PAULA case that will be watch
ed with interest by the officers of every
municipality in the state, as we'll as by
health officers and the public in gen.
eral, was argued before the supreme
court last week. 1t was that of Della
Keever and Kate Flanagan, of Man
kato, who are suing the city for $4,000
each for the death of Their. husbands,
who succumbed from typhoid fever
during the typhoid epidemic three
years ago. They allege that the city
was responsible because, they charge,
the epidemic" was caused by impure
water and defective sewer construc-
ton, and they contend that the city is
liable. The women lost in the lower
court and appealed.
Should their appeal be sustained it
would mean an endless number of
lawsuits, not only for Mankato, but
for number of other cities where
typhoid epidemics have occurred In
Mankato alone there were in that cpl
demic nearly forty deaths and many
other cases of illness. In each case
there would be litigation to establish
the facts, after the principle has been
established.
City Sold Water.
The principal argument for the
women was made by A. C. Carlson, of
Albert Lea. He contended that the
case was different from many others
where damage is done to individuals
by the city when the city is held not
liable. The furnishing of water was
not public, but private function in
each of the parties to furnish water
for a stipulated price. If they neg
igently furnished such water as caus-
ed the death of the customers, Mr..
Carlson contended that the city was
liable. The case was different, he
said, from cases where the city does
damage through water furnished for
public use, such as for fire protection
or sprinkling. The damage had been
done and the individuals were not to
blame, he said, and it was only q
question now whether the individuals
should bear all the burden or the com.
munity help to bear part of it.
The arguments for the city were
made by S. B. Wilson and H. l..
Schmitt, who cited numerous cases
which they contended showed that a
municipality would not be liable for
damages in such cases.
