What Causes Snow.
Snow is the condensed vapor of. the
air frozen and precipitated to the earth.
'When the air is nearly saturated with
vapor and is acted on by a current of
air below the freezing point some of,
the vapor is condensed and frozen into

when the air abounds with vapor. .

The citizens of Quebec are Plan-

of toe founding or theAnclair City by
Samuel de Champlain in the summer
of 1608. The project as Planned calls
for u fund of $600,000, which is a
guarantee of the breadth of the pro -
grain. It -i$ contemplated to have
the celebration take place the week
of July 3, 1903, and an interesting
feature includes the possible pres-
ence of fleets of the British, United
States anh French navies. The un-
veiling of a monument to Bishop La-
val; a • national Canadian parade,
tournament, sports dsa land and wat-
er, anniversary services in the
churches and brilliant social affairs
would add tb the visitors' 'entertain-
ment. The Dominion, the Quebec
Legislature and the City of Quebec
have been asked ter substantial con-
tributions and will probably respond
generously., The proposal to invite
naval representatives of the three
great friendly powers which, in days
gone by; fought each other bitterly
for the possession of the city, which
hes been termed the cradle of west-
ern .civilization, has aroused the keen-
est interest .and the liveliest national
satisfaction,

A naval display, 'such as friendly
rivalry would . inevitably suggest to
the nations concerned, would form a
powerful attraction, and the inter-
national aquatic sports which would na-
turally result from the close associa-
tion would add itamensely,to the gen-
eral program. The booming of le-

Greatest of Canadian Heroes.
Samuel de ,Chaniertiiineeethe fdiihder
of Quebec, is. certainly the first and
'greatest of Canadian laeroes. There
;is in air of. romantic sincerity about
him 'es: a discoverer and es a delon-
iier- in new Fiance. He was a mare
of singleness of pnrpose and saw the '
possibilities of America in a marvel,.
ously.inspired way at the Oritset; and .
'he. set Out. to accomplish as best he
could •the dreams of empire that he
had in 'his mind. He knew the In- '
(ban character and associated freely
with the, natives. He was the first
to begin war with the Iroquois; and
he was also the first to recognize the
possibilities; of western navigation by
the Ottawa rather than around by the
southern lakes at the time. He is
also the original discoverer of the
Proeinee of Ontario, having •entered
this province from the Ottawa and
Lake eeipiesizig, and having come
south to, Lake .Ontario.
Kingsford, the Canaditin historian,
gives an interesting , sketch . of Cham-
plain and tiles, to prove he was real-
ly a Huguenot, certainly his Chris-
tian - name wbulcI help to hear' this
out; but whether he was te, Hugue-
not or not he. recognized the state
religion and did his .beat' to 'estab-
lish it in America and to propagate
it among the Indian tribes. •
FIND PREHISTORIC DONEYARD.
Excavatione Reveal the Largest Mae.
tecien Ever Uncovered In Alaska.
What is perhaps the largest meta,
don ever uncovered completely in
Aluska was uncovered (luring 'the last
six months at a place near Circle
City by. Max L. Lohbrunner. The
exact place of the locution of the mas-
todon is on Alice Creek, a tributary
ot lefineral Creek, which flows into
Woodchopper Creek,
To judge of the other dirctengion$
of the animal it must oply be said
that one tusk of the mastodon which
is still intact is over nine feet eight
inches long, and has a circumference
eafeeighteen sineshee, jays nf ehe
animal *till have teeth four in
num-
ber in the jaw. Each of these teeth,
which have been taken out and re-
placed, weigh fifty pounds apiebe.
The other parts of the mastodon are
in a. poor state of preservation•cem-
pared with the tusk, although the
bones that have been collected weigh
in the neighborhood of 1;000 pounds.
Lolibrunner, who got the bones, dug
thern out at it depth of eighty feet
below 'the surface of the ground. It
'took it great amount of care' and pains
on his paler to see that the bones
were not burned to charcoal while
he was exeevatiee, ityld. thawing the
ground.- '
Lohbriumer has moved part of the
anima into storage at Circle City and
will hold it there until the spring
time, when it will be removed to
Seattle, .whore it will be put together
and eventually find its way into the
Alaska -Yukon -Pacific Exposition,. if
the Smithsonian Institution does not
get it before that time.
' In speaking of his find Lolthrunner
said; "Alice Creek, where I found
this mastodon, is , perhaps one of sthe
most wonderful on earth, from the
standpoint of research. It seems to
be the boneyard that a lot of the pre-
historic animals made for in order to
die or to be killed, We have found
on the creek the skeletens of masto-
dons, musleox, ca.tibcan bear, and
other animals. If this creek ever goes
into a hydraulic mining proposition
the world will be astounded with the
many finds of bones of animals of
prehistoric times," .
