HOW SNOW NouR,sHEs SOIL
Valuable Manure because OF It's Car
honie Acid, So Necessary for
Revtallzing tho Earth.

In a handful OF snow there mIght
be 10000 crystals. and no two Of them
would be alike.
Sleet IS snow which. In its passage
to the earth, has passed through lay
err of warmer air. and become partially
melted.
Snow Is early or late. according to
whether the summer was short and
soon over or extended to the autumn.
A short, early summer, means that the
earth cools more quickly.
Ground which Is covered with snow
very rarely falls below freezing point,
although the air may be fifteen to TWEEN
ty degrees colder. This is because
snow is a very bad conductor of heat
lit holds the heat In the ground and
stops its radiation.
The reference in the Psalms: ale
giveth snow like wool" is not to the
fact that snow and wool are alike in
appearance. but> to the warmth OF
each.
Snow Is warm because air is held In
its minute crystal interstices. No heat
escapes from anything covered with
Snow. Snow is, literally, valuable
manure. and nourishes the earth with
its carbonic acid. which penetrates
slowly into the soil and is thus fully
absorbed
Finally, snow Is ruinous to shoe

LkMENTs PASSING OF RU3SET
New England Journal Voices Regret
That Famous Apple Is Becoming
increasingly Scarce.

The russell apple seems to he In a
the commonest of our New England
apples, but ii is seldom seen nowadays.
In Rhode Island the principal varie-
ties are the Baldwin and gr ening-
both fine apples, easy to sell and easy
to "keep," fine of color and flavor. But
there is room for the russell too, and
1t would be great pity If it should
continue to be neglected by so many
growers.
There Is no other apple that has just
the russell tang 1t somehow embodies
the pungent quality of New England
life-its spice, its juice and its humor.
1t is not so SNOWY an apple as some
of its crimson, green and yellow com
petitors. and yet there is nothing hand
somer in the apple kingdom after all
than ripe russell, brown and yellow
commingling on its smooth surface, to-
gether with faint blush Of red.
Perhaps there are localities where
the russell flOurishes as of old, but it Is
out of fashion in this neighborhood.
Let its friends arise in ITS behalf, and
see that II does not wholly disappear.
Why not Russet society, systemat-
fcally bent on its preservation? There
have been organized movements for
less worthy causes.
Apple lovers with only small tracts
of ground might at least pledge them
selves to set out one russell tree. A
bearing apple tree is as good as money

bic Victor Over Michaels

Before a crowd Of 5000 at the New
Commonwealth Club last night Charlie
Beecher, the local featherweight, wor
the decision over Roy Moore, Of St
Paul, in fifteen rounds. Beecher did
most Of the fighting and Moore re.
ceived the stamp Of approval from the
fans because of his ability 20 take
punishment
The boys were evenly matched, as
far as weight was concerned, but that
is as far as the comparison can be
carried. Beecher tipped the scales at
12l pounds, and his opponent at 1922.
The East Side battler began to get
rough in the first round, when left
swing to the jaw caught Moore off bal
ance and Roy went down. He was UP
instantly. The second round was even,
but from there on 1t was all Beecher
The semifnal bout of twelve rounds
between Tommy Noble, of England
and Bobby Michaels, local feather
weight, was far more interesting than
the main affair. The decisision went
to Noble.
Bobby earned the right to be called
q game little fighter. for he took every
thing Noble could hand out except the
count. Noble made the local boy a
target for vicious hooks, jabs and
swings of every description, but was
unable to do more than slightly alter
Bobby's countenance.
In the second round right hook to
the jaw sent Michaels to the canvas for
the count of seven. In the third the
ropes saved him from taking another
count.
Bobby came up smiling in the fifth
and managed to hold his opponent
even, and in the sixth he actually out
fought Noble, but from that point on
he faded from the picture almost COM
pletely.
Sam Seiger outpointed Dick Load
man in the ten-round preliminary bout,
and in the six-round opener Toney
Peters got the decision over Joe Florio.
