SIX -SIDED SNOW CRYSTALS. Snow crystals obey gh immutable Taw of six. They gre rix sided jewels o r six pointed star*. -Tteiy never an­ swer to the law of four or five. Snow r* crystallized water, and Water al­ ways crystallizes in ri* sided form*. Why? No one ever will know, There is no more apparent reason fo r the sixnCss of crystallized water than there is for the monocline prisms of sugar crystals. Water and sugar and the complex minerals which make the granite rock all follow, laws which are utterly unchangeable, but which are, as f a r as w« can see, with­ out any special reason. I t is profit­ able to speculate why thb Chlorophyll of vegetation is green and why the ffood of animal is red. , The whiteness of the sgow is un­ derstandable. I t is due to the fusion of prismfc colors scintillating from the countless surface* of minute crystals, Human science compre­ hends this. I t also comprehends Die fact that snow is a poor conductor of heat and thus prevents terrestrial ra­ diation and keeps the earth and the things invthe'Bartlr snug and warm under the white blanket, which is softer and finer than lamb's wool or eiderdown. Science knows why show is white and why i t is beneficent, but it’ cannot explain the law’ Of six, It i* well that snow cannot be al­ together explained.
