Augusta was visited Thursday by one
of those belated snowstorms which
sometimes come along after the other
snow has all gone and everybody is
just settling down for the enjoyment
of spring weather. The snow began
falling at 1.35 in the morning, a few
scattered flakes at first, but 1t soon
settled down to business and by day.
light about two inches had fallen. The
storm continued through the day and
into the evening, but as the snow
melted some during the day it did not
make much of showing. The amount
which fell during the storm was about
five inches.

abundantly. It's presence is attributed
to a schooner which was wrecked some
twelve years ago, for 1t is well known
that this rat is a good swimmer. 1t is
curious to find that this animal, which
is now so rare in its native countries
as to be looked upon as a great curios-
ity, should usually be one OF the nrst
species to populate new lands where IT
is comparatively free from competi-
ton. Driven from all civilized coun-

OLDEST STATUE.

The Oldest known statue of our
Lord has been identified in Con-
stantinople. II dates from some
where between A. ID. 100 and 21O.
This means that it was made within
two or three generations of the life
time of our Saviour. II was found
in an early Christian tomb near
Damascus, to which the church ex-
tended in the lifetime of the
Apostles. Work of this character
is extremely scarce. Only for a
brief period could IL have been per-
Missile to make such a statue OF
the Saviour. In the Byzantine
church, which later developed in this
region, II was forbidden to make
statuary of Christ or other sacred
personages. II is possible that some
OF the pictures of our Saviour in the
catacombs at Rome are older than
this statue. There is also the sacred
shroud preserved at Turin, which is
said to bear our Saviour's likeness
made by the impression of his own
body For the statue the claim is
made that IL is the oldest carved
portrait. This statue represents our
Saviour as shepherd bearing
lamb upon his back. The artist
must have known exactly how a
Hebrew shepherd of our Saviour.s
