''is it, however, evident that the in
habitants of Mars constructed this
strange geographical network Of canals2"
says Flammarion, and then he goes on.
This idea seems to us more plausible
than to attribute it to irrational nature.
for there the effects are generally irregu-
lar, above all in the geological realm.
Oceanic depressions, continental reliefs.
basins, valleys, mountains, the course OF
rivers, the confguration Of the shores,
all assume to our sight irregular forms
and rectilinear shapes seem banished
from natures operations. This terres-
trial aspect leads US TO believe that 1t Is
the same with all the other worlds, and
we refuse to think that nature, even inor-
ganic, should act differently there than it
does on our earth. Nevertheless it is not
proved that the geological forces every
where act the same way. The condensa.
tions of the globe by cooling down
through centuries, the action of the vol
canic phenomena, etc, have considerably
changed the exterior of the earth.
''Some astronomers are inclined to take
these canals for streams, large and inn
mense, like the Nile, tho Danube, the
Mississippi, the st. Lawrence. But riv-
ers begin with rivulets, ON the SUBMITS
of the water sheds; their origin is derived
from the rain showers descending the val
leys and gradually assuming lighter
shades, following their way till the mar
itime mouths. On Mars, these dark lines,
without exception, GO from one ocean
to another, presenting the same width
throughout. But whatever tho view
point from which to look at tho fantastic
geological system, the explanation re-
mains to be found. The observations that
have been made during the past spring
enable us to penetrate a little further
into the intimate knowledge of this
neighboring world lncontestable varia-
tions have been observed and these can
only be attributed to inundations. Phil

Eleetrlel.y 1nstead Of Hanglnr.

After Jan. 1, 1889, all persons con.
victed of murder and condemned to death
in New York will be executed by electri-
city instead of by hanging No expert
ments have been made and no means have
been devised to apply electricity so that
it shall be absolutely certain as en- agent
of death. 1t is known to oil electricians
that a force of even 1000 volts, and ON
alternating current at that might produce
instant death in one case without suffer-
ing, and intense agony, followed by death,
in another. The various devices thus far
suggested have come from newspapers
and magazines, and each and every one of
them are open to some objection.
Dr. J. Mount Bleyer, who was ono of
the commission appointed to report on
'the best method of executing crilni-
nails" gave the matter O good deal OF
study, and devised method which he be-
lieves is perfect, but which is really open
to the gravest objections. DR.. Bleyer's
plan is to place the condemned person in
a sort of hut his bare feet resting ON a
metal floor which connects with one pole
of the battery. An electrodc coming
through the roof of the hut and touching
the doomed persons head is connected
with the other pole, and so completes the
circuit. Should the condemned person
twist his head SO as to break the contact
even the thousandth part of an inch tho
circuit would be incomplete, and life
would be prolonged as long as he re-
mained in that position. Il fear, said O
gentleman who is an accepted authority
on medical Jurisprudence, that unless
the state gets towork at once and devotes
a great deal of time to experimentation,
that the first execution by electricity will
be a most distressing bungle. New

Making Nitro-Giycerino Less Dangerous.

MaklnS N1tFO~NStycerlnO Less dangerous.
The alarming number of accidents which
occurred from the use Of Nobels oil, as
well as the great value of the discovery in
mining, quarrying and excavating oper-
ations called the attention of scientists to
the matter and they went to work to find
some means of destroying the danger
without impairing the efficacy of the COM
pound. They soon discovered that If
nitro-glycerine be absorbed by any pull
verulent body it would afterward explode
only by percussion, and that the percus-
sion had to be comparatively powerful. 1t
was mixed with fine clay made into cart
ridges or nodded in forms, to be sold in
bulk. Some German chemists employed
sawdust as an absorbent and produced
what Is now known as dynamite. Others
have used plaster of paris, chalk, mag
nesia, Fuller's earth and other inert pow
ders, and have produced the various ex-
plosives known as rendrock, rackarock
and the like.
The latest discovery in this line was
very recently reported from London and
is that of new compound called carbo-
dynamite. 1t is composed of ninety parts
Of nitro-glycerine absorbed by ten parts Of
a variety Of carbon. One Of the London
papers has published an account Of num-
Der of experiments made with this new
compound, which, it is asserted, showed
that it possesses several important advan-
tages over ordinary dynamite. Among
other advantages it is said TO have con-
siderably greater power, and to generate
much less noxious vapor by explosion.

Figures showing that They Excel the
Late Varieties.
1t Is quite generally conceded that
early potatoes are more profitable than
late ones. There is no question about
the matter with the gardener who
wishes TO grow two crops in one sea-
son, aud making early potatoes the
first crop. Many farmers do not at.
tempt double cropping. hence it mat
tiers little 10 them whether they grow
early or late varieties, provided the
crop is equal in both cases. In favor
able seasons, when there is sufficient
rain during the period Of growth, late
varieties often give larger yields than
the early sorts. A more or less pro-
tracteI drought is likely to occur dur
ing July or August which materially
checks the growth and decreases the
yield Of late varieties, but the early
sorts, being ripe before that time, cs-
cape damage. The shorter the sea-
son Of any variety, the less liable it Is
to suffer from drought. The follow
ing table gives a record Of the early
and late varieties grown at the station
for three seasons. None are included
that have not been grown for that
length OF time:

and a number of other gentlemep, in

ninety per cent. Of these countries the
