RAIN AND SNOW TINTED
WITH RAINBOW COLORS
Volcanic Regions Also Have
Gray Hail.

In certain parts of Spain during last
winter red and black snow fell. The
phenomenon is explained as being due
TO the presence in the atmosphere in
unusual quantities of certain mineral
salts. History mentions day when
1.-THE heavens rained blood" In the
middle ages such an occurrence was
accepted as predicting war or famine,
os~>at any rate, shedding of blood.
The presence of a micro organism
seems always to accompany red rain.
In volcanic regions gray hail is rela-
lively common. In Sicily this has
/. beer observed very often, because
the higher layers of the atmosphere
are flied with ashes from Mount
Etna. During the past century there
have been black rains in England
'-twice. and on both occasions the color
'bsas due to the presence of micro
organisms.
A curious fall of red snow is OBJ
served sometimes in the Alps in
spring, but black snow is a rarity.
Last spring in the mountains that
surround the valley OF Emmen snow
of dirty grayish black has been no.
tieed 1t formed a crust of some
centimeters in thickness and extended
over the, whiteysnow which had fallen
on previous days. This strange oc-
currence has not been satisfactorily
explained. but it is supposed that the
volcanic ashes from Etna were car
ried by the winds and precipitated
by the dampness of the air.

Chinese ELECTION
LAW COMPLICATED
Education and Property Quail
ifications for Voters and
office-hoIders.

SHANGHAI. China, Jan. 16.-China
has just held its first popular cleo
ton, but nobody knows how it all
happened.
According to the proclamation pro-
nnlgated by the government, there
will be one representative for every
100000 people.
The system and regulations gov
erning the elections are extremely
complicated The Shanghai election,
however. VIII convey some idea as
TO the elections elsewhere. The rules
regarding the election of electors for
members of the Provincial Assembly
and the House of Representatives,
Or the lower house, are about the
same
Tor the district of Shanghai. in
Guiding the settlements Nanta, the
city, Chapel and the country villages,
IN the neighborhood of 51,042 eertifi-
Gates have been sent out to those
entitled to vote.
The qualifications for any citizen
TO cast vote are: A man over Il
years of age, being a resident for at
least two years in the particular
election area. paying an annual d.
rect tax of 50 and over, having an
immovable property valued at more
than $500, the nomadic citizens of the
dependencies may have a movable
property of the same value, and be-
ing a graduate of a school higher
than the elementary or primary
school or having an equivalent train
ing. The qualifications for member
of the Lower House are:a man over
25 years of age. Opium smokers, in

to read or write, officers of the army
and of the navy, police, Taoists,
Buddhists and other religious priests,
teachers of elementary schools. stu
dents are not entitled to vote or be
elected to Office.
1t is likely that the authorities
have experienced numerous difficult
ties since it is the first election and
so the number of voters may not be
accurately estimated. The time for
the preparation for the election in
stead of six months is hurriedly done
this time in all the authorities have
but about two months in which to
make the necessary preparation. Fur
ther. large number of citizens may
either be ignorant or Indifferent to
the election.

Baker oil heaters are supplied for
cars which carry this class of freight,
but during exceptionally cold weather
these heaters may not prove suf-
