afternoon.
The determination on the part OF
Germany was made known by her rep

PLOT TO KILL
 ROCKEFELLERS

Washington. Jan. PA plot on the lives of John D. Rockefeller and his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., planned by anarchists in New York in 1914, shortly after the beginning of the European war, was described to the Senate propaganda investigating com mittee yesterday by Thomas J. Tun- ney, police inspector of New York He said the plotters were known as Carson, Berg and Hanson and that all were killed by the explosion of the bomb they had made to kill the Rockefellers
 The police investigation which fol- lowed, the inspector said, disclosed that the plan of the anarchists in cludiEg the killing of other wealthy persons, and that instructions were to kill all members of the families, in cluding the children.
 Inspector Tunney, who was in charge of the bomb and neutrality squad before the United States en- tered the war, testified that there was evidence of renewed activity of an- archists in the United States. Since the signing of the armistice, he said, evidence had been found that an- archists planned to organize and dis semminate propaganda.

BLACK SNOW

AS white as snow" is one of the stock comparisons Of every day, and there is nothing oH earth winter than newly-falIen snow. It's whiteness is caused by it's excessive ColCr. Every tiny crystal of which it is composed acts as a prism, and breaks up thes light into it's constituent colors of the rainbow; but the crystals are so num- erous and set at such an infinite num- Der of angles that they all neutralize each other, and we see the snow per fectly white.
 It was thought until Australia was discovered that all swans were white. There they are black. Similarly it is thought that all snow is white, and the thought is much nearer the truth, for all snow is naturally white.
 Some time ago .-!ow of a decidedly dark, almost black color fell on the Alps, specially on the southern or Italian side, where fierce fighting took place in the closing stage of the war. Naturalists were greatly interested, and many solutions of the snow were examined. The consensus of opinion attributed this black snow to the ash es of Nit. Etna, in Sicily, which had recently been in violent eruption, and had vomited forth millions of tons of dust and ashes into the upper at- mOSDhere.
