The Little Piant That Paints Arctic clits Red—How Nataralistas Have Reen Pazated by It—An Interesting Paper Rend Before the Biological So- elety. Xt the meeting of the Biological society; Saturday night, Mr. Romyn Hitcheork, of the National Museum, read an interesting paper on “The Red Snow,” and exhibited through the microscope specimens of the brilliant minate erimson globules. which give color to the snow, und about whose char- acter there has been cousiderable difference of opinion ampng naturalists, Mr. Hitchcoe said that the red snow that attracted much at- tention from scientific gentlemen when it was brought home from the Aretic regions by Capt. Ross in the year 1818, was by no means un- known before that time. De Saussure, as early 4s 1760,observed iton Mount. Breve n,in Switzer Jand, andsince then many others have itin the Alps, Pyrenees, and it seems to occur frequently in all purts of the world, Particular interest, however, was manilested In the ma- terial brought home by Capt, Ross, and several botanists secured speci mens for examination. ‘A DIVERSITY OF OPINIO: Mr. Hitehcock gave a summary of the litera- ture of the subject, and quoted Capt. Ross’ de- seription of the Crimson cliffs, not far from Cape York, Baffin's bay. The Investigation at that time showed that the snow was penetrated even down to the rock, in many places to a depth of ten or twelve fect, by the coloring matter, and thatit had the appearance of hav ing been a long time in that state. he extent of these cliffs was about elzht miles. Dr. Wollostin at that time regarded the fed show, or its coloring, as of vegetable nature, Francis Bauer, who examined specimens of 1t in 1819, compared them to minute fringi of the germs Uredo and gave the plant the name of Uredo Nivales. Professor Hooker subsequently suggested that the germs Palmetla might be modified to Include this wonderful plant, Grevelle’s “Scottish Fiora” describes the plant 48 Protococcus Nivales. Mr. Hitchcock stated that in his examination of globules he had failed to notice any reticulation or granules, though such characteristics might possibly be observable in other stages of growth. Baron Wrangel regarded the plant asa lichen, and gave it the name of Lepraris Kermesina, He placed some limestone covered with thé plant in water, and observed a number of globules of a yellowish colorjof which the larger Fed ones seeined to be composed. He also ob- served the large globules swim about, like in- fusoria, burst, and give exit to smaller ones. In the latest iiterature of Alzae the plant ts classed as a chiamydecoceus. Until the method Of propagation of this plant is more satisfacto- rily established, Mr. Hitchcock thinks it is im- possible to fix is systematic position, It is not improbable that in iis actively vegetating con- dition tue plant is green. ‘This is indicated by the observations of early discoverers. SPECIMENS COLLECTED BY DR. KANE. A specimen of the red snow collecied by Dr- Kane from the crimson cliffs ot Beverley is in the National Museum. This specimen was re- cently brought to Mr. Hitchcock's notice by Mr. A. H. Clark. It was in a glas-stopperea one-oanee wide-mouth bottle. “The material was evidently put im with water, but is now thoroughly dry. On examination he found an abundance of the minute cells of red snow in this collection, but the brilliant crimson color is quite lost, only. a faint tnge of red remaining. RED SNOW FROM COLORADO, A specimen was received in January of this year from Poverty Gulch, Col., sent by Mr. Alexander McDougall, From the letter whieh accompanied this specimen, Mr. Hitchcock quoted as follow Sediment of a small quantity of snow gath- ered in Poverty Guleh, Ci Butte cour Col., at an altitude of 12,000 feet, on the 1 ofSepiember, 1834.

WItkeEsnarne, Pa., Dee. 14.—A frightful ex pisinnof gas took place this morning in thé Athi creck ining, operated by the Delaware and Hudson ¢oai company, %t Plains, a few miles from this city, Agthe time of the accident there were about one hundred miners, laborers aud boys in the slope. The news spread quickly and the entire population soon seemed to have gathered about the coiliery. ‘The explosion occurred in what is known as No, 12 silt, which is located at the extreme end of theopening of the slope, being four thonsund feet from the month, and therefore fis Ventilazion was a difficult’ problem. The gas had ignited in a breast where a miner named Coffy was at work. An exploring party of about twenty miners entered the slope as soon as the news of the dis- eached the surface. It was quickly dis- red that many of the men were burned and the explorers at once began removing them, Among those seriously injured were ‘George Martin, miner; John Cleasby, laborer; Nicholas Gray, driver; P, Cotly, miner;8.

KEILEY. Correspondence with the Italian and Austrian Governments—Mr. Kelley's Indigaal erances: Attitade-of ihe Latter The President sent to the Senate today the entire correspondence between this government and the governments of Italy and Austria and Mr. A.M. Kelley, growing out of his appoint- ment 4s minister to Rome. and subsequently to Vienna. It inctudes twenty-two letters and documents, some of greatlength, But a small portion of it relates to 4 THE APPOINTMENT To ITALY, On the 25th ot April, a few weeks after his appointment to Rome, Mr. Kelley wrote to the President, intimating that the views he had expressed in regad to certain acts of the Ital- ian government, made it expedient for him to resign his commission as minister to Italy. THE AUSTRIAN APPOINTMENT, Nearly the whole of the remainder of the correspondence relates to his subsequent ap- pointment as minister to Austria, and his r-sig- nation of the office. On the 7th of September, 1885, Mr, Keily sent a communication to the Secretary of State from New York, stating that his appointment as United States ininiss ter to Austria-Hungary was communi- cated to him on the 2a of May, and on the 7th be sailed for his post, arriving atParison the 18th. in the rallway station there he was handed the telegram from the Secetary of State, directing him not to proceed to Vienna until be heard further. On the 7th of August he received a” letter Col. J. OF. Lee, secretary. of the VY. (S.

On the 15th of September the Secretary of ate sent-a lon reply to Mr. Keiley, in which s: “The President and those who are as- ‘ociaied in his counell are completely satisfied with youratttiude andaction throughout this re- miarkable episode in our diplomatic history,and we deeply regret that the country has been pre- vented by the unprecedented ind intolerable action of the Austro-Hungarian government from having the advantege of your personal presence at Vienna and of your Services there as a competent and worthy Tepresentative of the interesis and honor of the ung the Mr. says, of freedom, atm American people and their government.” * * * “The incident of the government of Austro-Hungary to receive you as the envoy of the United States upon the grounds alleged, is destined, I belleve, to have important consequences, I’ wiil not’ believe that the people of the United States will ever cousent to the ereation or en- forcement of such tests as have been ised upon by the goveroment of Austro- ary as conditions precedent and qualitica- the selection ‘re- | ARIZONA AFFAIRS, The Climate and the Wealth of the Ter- Fitery—The Crixts Artsing From the Indian Troables—Gen.
