If the Jersey City Giants had any
idea that their winning the Inter-
national League pennant gave them
an automatic passport into the little
world series the impression must
have been corrected by now.
The Newark Bears, who squeezed
into the Governors Cup series
through play-of for fourth place,
trampled on the Giants, 9-4, last
night for their second straight VIC
tory and a 2-to-1 advantage.
At the same time the Rochester

tricks with hail and wind, are quite harmless.
No snowstorm ever bombards the earth with
projectiles that wreak destruction In south
ern Nebraska, in 1881, terrific hailstorm
riddled the roofs and even the sides of houses,
battering its way into them, demolishing
furniture and smashing dishes. In Garcia,
Spain, in 1929, houses were crushed under
blocks of ice from the sky; and fifteen years
later vessels were sunk by hailstorm near
Sete, France
There are many stories about huge hail
stones, but only in recent years has the camera
been used to make record of them In the
days of Tippoo Sahib, a hailstone big as an
elephant is said to have been found in
southern India; and, in 1898, another hail
stone with a diameter of twenty feet was
reported to have fallen at Dharwar. Doubt
these stories, if you will - but India is noto-
rious for violent haistorms. Sometimes in
single storm, hundreds of cattle are killed.
Much more credible is the story of French
missionary named Hue who reported the
fall of block of ice larger than millstone'
near his house in Mongolia. And, in 1914, two
other missionaries testified that hailstones
weighing more than ten pounds each fell
during storm in China. Still more recently,
in 1925, chunk of ice weighing more than
four pounds went through the tile roof of
house in Heidgraben. Germany.
The largest hailstone recorded for America
fell in Potter, Nebraska, in 1923. It weighed
a pound and half and measured seventeen
inches in circumference. Fortunately it was
not only weighed and measured but photo
graphed as we'll, by wide-awake druggist

snow that created sensation in New Eng
land early in the nineteenth century, Many
of the persons who saw it were filled with
terror, believing it to be supernatural por-
tent of some dreadful catastrophe to come.
Actually, the phenomenon is quite inofensive
and easily explained. The snow is never red
when it falls, except in those instances when
it is tinted by red dust in the air; but the
color is given to it later by the growth on its
surface of tiny plant, belonging to the alga
family. So rapidly does the little plant grow
that, in few hours, it may transform whole
snowfeld of spotless white into bright
red mantle.
Red snow! No wonder superstitious people
have been awestruck to see the whole world
about them hidden as if beneath pail dipped
in blood. A remarkable color photograph of it,
taken in Greenland several years ago, reveals
the unearthliness of the spectacle. Nowhere
common, it has been seen most often in the
arctic and in the high mountains of Europe
and South America; but once in long, long
while, it visits US. Just few years ago the
residents of community near Yellowstone
Park had chance to see it.

snow, but most of them unlike her curious

perch; but sometimes, when conditions are
just right, the snow will continue to cling
together, forming a white festoon, looped
across the branch, or the rail, like tinsel
Christmas decoration. These festoons are
known as snow garlands Very seldom have
they been photographed, for they are far from
common.
Much more spectacular, however, are the
weird spires and pinnacles of snow known as
the snow of the penitentes. You'll know them
if you ever see them. Imagine field or a
ravine filled with a company of silent, white
clad worshipers standing rigidly, hour after
hour, in penance. That was what this snow
formation called to the minds of the natives of
South America. who named them Formed by
the uneven melting of deep snowdrifts, they
are best known in the Andes Mountains; but
now and then similar spectacles are to be seen
IN our own country, especially in mountain
GUS regions where the winter SHOWS lie Deep
Don't fail to use your camera if you should
ever come across one.
For sheer weirdness only one snow phenom-
enon surpasses the snow of the penitentes.
