Is Mars Inhabited

There is no other planet of the solar
system, says Science for AI, which Of
fers SO close an analogy to the earth as
Mars. The telescope reveals to us the
figures of broad tracts of land and ex-
panses of sea upon his surface The dur
ations of his day and night almost coin
eide with our own. His exterior expe-
riences the alternating changes of the
seasons. His nights are illum1ned by
two satellites, which present all the phe-
nomena of our own moon, and more fire.

An atmosphere probably surrounds this
planet i'll fact, the existence of air is
indispensable to his other features.
Hence the inference that Mars is hab-
table globe appears very obvious and
fair conclusion, and it would be incon-
sistent to imagine that this planet, pro-
vided, apparently, with all the requisite
natural facilities to render life a neces-
sary and desirable feature of his surface,
is sphere of desolation, a mass of inert
matter which, though conforming to the
laws of gravitation, is otherwise serving
no useful end, as the abode and susten-
ance OF animate creatures. It is far more
In accordance with analogy and rational
speculation to conclude that Mars is the
center of life and activity, and that his
surface is teeming with living beings.

California Glaciers.

It is hard for many people to believe
biologists when they that our con-
tinent was once covered with ice, and
that the grooves made by huge glaciers
may be plainly seen on rock and mount
ain and high hill. 1t seems incredible
that such severe cold ever prevailed in
the Unite d States. We think of glaciers
only in connection with the Alps and
Himalayas. But scientific explorers
have found glaciers on. the Pacific coast,
and one need not go to Europe or Asia
In search of them.
Mr.. Clarence King, an enthusiastic
geologist, found on Mount Shasta, in
California, a system Of glaciers, the
largest about four and half miles long.
and two to three miles wide. Mr.. S. F..
Emmons found large system in Wash
ington Territory. He says
Ten large glaciers observed by us,
and at least half as many more hid by
the mountain from our view, proceeding
from one isolated peak, Mount Rainier,

SECRETARY EvARTs has prepared re-
ply to Lord Salisbury's note on the fish
cry question. Among others he makes
the point that one of the arguments
made by the English counsel before the
Halifax Commission was that So, 5000
of the demanded award should be paid
to the Newfoundland fishermen to COM
pensate them for their competition with
the Americans. This, Mr.. Eyarts argues,
is proof positive that England had full
knowledge that Americans fshed in CO.
lonial waters, and, as no objection was
made at the time, it was also AN adj
mission that in 50 doing they were act
ing within their treaty rights. This is
in entire opposition to Lord Salisbury
present position.

ellis.

A lady contributor to the Californian
thinks she knows why a woman cannot
sharpen a lead pencil: Sin the first
place, she doesn't attack it boldly
enough she is afraid of soiling her fin
gers. Then she never has a sharp
knife" Let her borrow, say you The
California lady has tried that with this
result: eff Adam, the husband, or
Adonis, the brother, or even Johnny,
the son, lends. a knife for the purpose,
he first opens the dullest, brokenest
blade, and then sneers at the result IF
Eve has knife of her own, nobody will
sharpen it for her, and it. goes without
saying that she cannot sharpen it her
self. 81 have" continues this lady,
g seen woman sharpen pencil with
carving-knife, but that was an extreme
case. Forney's Progress wonders if
this writer, who seems so willing to be
tray the peculiarities of her sex, can ex-
plaiu why woman's watch never goes.
OF course, one reason is that it is never
wound up, but why it is not is what
puzzles Progress. Most watches, nova
days, sre stem-winders, so the always
lost kew is no longer an excuse.

FROM recent Ottawa dispatches it is
seen that the Monroe doctrine, as APP
piled to the proposed isthmus canal, is
attracting such attention among our
neighbors that it was under discussion
in the Canadian House of Commons.
The only utterance of note during the
debate appears to have been that Of Sir
John Mcdonald, who denied that the
Monroe doctrine had any application to
commercial undertaking like the canal.

The Presentations of Chess.

There are curious, but well-authenti-
Gated, anecdotes showing what fascina-
tions chess possesses for some minds.
We have heard of one of her Majestys
ships being nearly run ashore through
the Captain, absorbed in his combina-
lions, not needing the repeated repre-
sensations of his Lieutenant that they
were getting uncommonly near the land.
There was once Caliph Of Bagdad who
would not be disturbed in his game,
though the city was being carried by
assault And Charles XII, of Sweden,
when hardly beset by the Turks in his
house at Bender, was at least as much
interested in beating his antagonist
across the board as in beating off the
Turks. Again, an Elector of Saxony,
taken prisoner at the battle of Null
berg by the Emperor Charles ", was
playing chess with. a fellow prisoner
when tidings were. brought to him that
he had been sentenced to death. He
looked up for moment to remark on
the irregularity Of the proceeding, and
then resumed the game, which to his
great delight he won. When we add
that Frederick the Great and Marshal
SAKE were enthusiasts for the game, who
will say it is not pastime
in which it is worth while to
excel? Though many persons are
debarred by other occupations from de-
voting to it sufficient attention, those
who have the leisure may remember the
dictum of the Duke Of Wellington,
which is applicable to all pursuits, that
"Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing well. "-Saturday ReUie,O.

A MAN was recently hanged at Raab,
Hungary, for the murder of two women.
He was cut down, and the doctors certi-
fed that he was dead. An electro-gal-
vanic currant having been applied to the
supposed corpse, however, the convict
recovered and showed signs of life by at
lacking the wardens. Subsequently he
was FRUSTRATED by congestion, and he is
now dead in good earnest. Those who
hold that, if capital punishment is to be
maintained, the grlillotine is the surest
and least-painful mode of inficting death,
have another argument in their favor

through his maternal grandfather, who
was in nowise related to the present
Duke, is nevertheless bequeathed to
him.

now in working at Paris has length of
1860 meters, and is worked by six
stations with steam engines Of a total
power of $50 horses, one hydraulic ma
chine and six hydraulic motors. This
service comprises principal double line
and seven secondary lines, with
branches. On the principal lines mes
sages are transmitted every three min
utes, and on the secondary lines every
five minutes. The cartes- telegrammes
open cost thirty cents. and CO ed fifty
cents. The carte-telegramme has, it
appears, not yet been much used by the
public, but it is hoped that the reduction
of the price 10 thirty cents, made last
May, will have some effect in increasing
the service The pneumatic service is
TO be extended TO the annexed COM

Sixty Miles a Minute on q Tin Pan.

ARTHUR FITZPATRICK. who returned
from Colorado short time ago, gives
the following glowing account of an
occurrence in the mining districts, of
which he was an eyewitness: "a
miner and some companions were cross
ing the Continental Divide when it was
covered with snow. Three miles below
them, down decline of forty-five de-
grees, deeply covered with frozen
snow, lay the spot they desired to
reach. while to go round by rail was
fifteen miles. The miner took a tin
pan used for washing gold. spread his
blanket over it, got in himself in a
sguatting position on his launches,
tucked the blanket around, held his
rifle and other traps over his head and
got one of his companions to give him a
push. He informed me he went down
at the speed of sixty miles minute,
and shot far out into the valley at the
foot of the mountain. When he stopped
he found the soldering of the pan
melted from friction. his blanket on
fire. and it was his impression that had
he gone much further he would have
been burned up, together with all his
traps"
