crime Of smuggling Mrs. Roberta Nj.

coat with rings and other jewelry. has
been sentenced to fine of $1,000. and

A heavy fine was expected, but Jail

A Fall of "Rlack" Snow.

4 fan of what has been called
black snow" recently caused a sreat
deal of interest and more or less
anxiety in Switzerland. The Alpin-
lists are familiar with red snow, but
never even heard of the variety which
has just fallen. There were, of course.
various explanations of the phcnomc-
non, the one most generally accepted
being that the snow, while waited
across Europe TO Switzerland, had be-
come discolored by volcanic ashes
from Etna.
A much more reasonable cxplana-
ton is that no such thing as black
snow exists. but that in certain
weather conditions snow may take on
an appearance of blackness which is
quite deceptive. This may be caused
by rain freezing on the tlakes as they
fall. and the vacuum causes the dc.
Iception BY the light reflected through
the ice-covcred surface, giving it a
dark appearance Many of US il

"l title Animals" That Save Us.

AT the regular weekly meeting OF the
Agricultural Club Of the University OF
Maine, Thursday evening. DR.. r. l..
Russell, of the department of bacterl-
o1oe- and veterinary science. gave an
interesting talk on the relation oi
bacteria to soil fertility. He showed
that these bacteria are absolutely nee
essary 20 the production OF crops. lie
gave a little history of their discovery,
and various theories which have been
held concerning them. He told OF the
Dutchman who, in 1888. ground ana
mounted lenses to see what he could
see. IL discovered what he then
called little animals, and now We know
tnat they We're bacteria. Yet after q
century and quarter, the science OF
bacteria is in its childhood.
Among the things which DIR. Rus
sell told his hearers vas that 'all
plants must have this element in or
der to grow: that clover is beneficial
to soil because the bacteria which live
in the little tubercles on the roots of
the plant store up free nitrogen from
the air and feed it to the plants. There
is also a class of bacteria which will
work in cultivated soil and store up
nitrateS there. In substance: We are
told by the learned doctor. that we
should all starve within q few months
we're it not for the "lttle animals"
first seen by the Dutchman in 1889.
