high ideals for making the world a

like the ripple created by throwing a

White snow and clear rain water

was curious as to how this strange
phenomenon came about. Some
Japanese said 1t was birthstone and
sulphur as punishment for sins. It
was traced, however, to yellow dust
that had been whirled up from the

to fall. It was found to Be some-

Black snow, too, has fallen from
