In Camille Flammarion's last romance
of the stars some quaint and interesting
fancies are given regarding the planet
Mars. The poet-astronomer imagines
that in our next starry neighbor the
density is so slight that material sub
stances are very light, and that thus
the living beings corresponding to our
selves are vastly more ethereal, delicate
and sensitive than the inhabitants oF
earth. Dwelling farther from the sun
than we, their optic nerve is more pow
erful, and that fact, together with su-
perior magnetic and electric influences,
creates senses unknown to us and un-
imaginable by us. Everything is so
much less ponderable, so much more un~
substantial than with us, he goes on to
fancy, that the people there might be
called thinking and living winged flow
ers, for in the tenuous atmosphere wings
had the first chance at development,
rather than a more terrestrial method of
getting about, evolution having taken
place in a series of winged species, and
the people living as much on the air and
on aerial plants as on the ground.
Here also the density Of the body and
It's weight being so slight, all organisms
are very light and delicate, no other
food being taken than that drawn from
the atmosphere; thus the female sex is
the predoIninating one, living on the
airs of spring. and the perfume of flowers

their deDouement; you can meet charac-

Sunday evening gentleman and his
wife, who live ON street pretty near
the tunnel, attended evening service at
the Fourth church and took seats in the
gallery. The service was about half
over when they We're annoyed by con-
tinued titteing and scuffiing back OF
them, and looking around they saw sew
eral girls standing upon the seats while
a number more were moving uneasily
about as if trying to avoid some danger.
Just then the word "rats," uttered in a
stage whisper, partially solved the
trouble, and the man turned toward his
wife. His wife is mortally afraid OF
rats and mice, and the mention of the
word traits set her to thinking.
Presently the people in the gallery be
gan to leave, but the scuffiing continued
until the lady whispered to her husband
chat they, too, had better go. So they
arose and left, and the lady breathed
freer when she reached thastreet. When
they arrived at home they were laugh.

1--WE may expect further development
Of the slot machine BY dropping q
cent in the slot one can get his weight,
his age, a piece of chewing gum, bit of
candy or a shock that will energize his
nervous system. Why not get from a
similar machine good business educa-
tion, or an interpretation of Browning,
OF new language, or a knowledge Of
English literature? But even this would
be crude.
I'VE have hopes of something from
electricity. There ought to be some
where a reservoir of knowledge, con-
Meeting by wires with every house, and
professional switch tender, who, upon
the pressure of a button in any house,
could turn ON the intellectual stream
desired. There must be discovered in
