And he might not be able to convinceanybody that he heard anything. It looks like awhispering place. When I have more leisure I willinquire into it. Then I reconstructed the apple and cut it in halffrom the stem to blossom end. Looking at the cutsurface of one of the halves, I studied the dynamiclines and I also made a diagram of them for presentuse and future reference, Fig. 16. This, I said, looking at the diagram; Is themagnetic frame; the very dynamic skeleton on which. SNOW CRYSTALS. 163 the earth was formed. Around these lines the ma-terial clustered until it became a world. As I studiedthe diagram I seemed to have a faint remembranceof a thousand things resembling: XT i a it. Six points! I said, What , is it that seems so familiar to _ \\ , me? Somewhere I have seensix pointed stars in great num-bers and if I am not mistakenthey were direct from naturesworkshop; fresh minted ; —Where could it have beenf Reflecting in this way, it presently came to my mindthat they were snow crystals. Then opening SteelesFourteen Weeks7 in Philosophy, at p. 253, I found apicture of sixteen very fine specimens with the com-ments of the author on their wonderful beauty andvariety,* Fig. 17. I noticed that notwithstandingtheir great variety, they were all constructed on thesame general plan. Six points projecting from a * In Warrens New Physical Geography, there is a cutcontaining thirty-two specimens, all of which
