 PARIS, Sept. 18.-The European edi- ton of the Herald publishes the follow ing communication from the eminent astronomer Flammarion:
 "I have just received some new obser- vations concerning the planet Mars made thls summer at some of the prin- cipal observatories of our own planet. They teach us some very strange things. It seems that at certain seasons of the year the oceans of the planet Mars are divided into two parts. just as if a gigan- tic bridge or bank of sand had been thrown across them from one shore to the other.
 "For instance, there is, among other seas on the planet Mars. one situated at the ninetieth degree of longitude, east Of the meridian of zero, or twenty-five degrees of longitudge in the astral tro- DIG. On account of it's isolation, as we'll as superficial area, this sea resem bles our Black sea. Hitherto thls sea has always been observed as uniform and nearly circular, but last June Schiaparello of the Milan Observatory discovered that this sea was cut in two by yellow band, which divides it in two unequal parts.
 "A lake somewhat like our Tschad WAS also noticed to have been divided in- to two parts. At the same time an ex- cellent and very minute observer in En- gland discovered that five immense can als were also divided into two parts by two straight lines, absolutely parallel to each other, in the same manner that a certain number of enigmatic canals were noticed to have been divided some years ago.
 What can these seas, lakes and can- als that divide themselves up in this manner be? As inhabitants of this earth we have only our observations and our terrestrial ideas in our mind, and these are insufficient to devise what takes place in another world, but such discoveries are none the less worthy of all our attention. When will the uil de geant, l meter and centimeters, bring Mars still nearer to us?"
 SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18.-Robert Ray Hamilton's name came prominently be- fore the public during the latter part of August, 1889, through the action of his wife at Atlantic City, who assaulted her nurse with knife, inflictlng injuries which it was first thought it would prove fatal. though the women sub ssqusntly recovered. The notoriety thus gained by Mrs. Hamilton brought to light story that shocked New York society, of which Hamilton was one of the lions of the day, and disclosed the fact that he had been made the victim of low-bred women, who had nothing but pretty face and vivacious manner to recommend her.
 Mrs. Hamilton was a queen of the New orK oemi-uuudc, aud tho young swell squandered . fortune on her while she led this life. She conceived the idea of securing his money, or at least sharing 1t with him. and set to work with much shrswdness. The in- vsstigations of detectives showed that she palmed off on Hamilton as his child a walf purchased of a wid-wife for S10 When her admirer visited her she pro duced the baby, kisseS it and wept over 1t and implored Hamilton to make It legitimate by marrying her. Whatever else might have been said for the young man, 1t was certain that his gentle and luxurious breeding had developed il him his full share of honor, and be- lleving that he was but righting . wrong he consented to g clapdestine marriage.
 This accomplished, the women went a step farther and sndeavored to force him to introduce her into the upper tendon sfNew York society. That was out of the question, but she was provid- ed with an expensive home, furnished in elegant style, and it was while living in her cottage at Atlantic City that she attacked her servant in fit of jealous frenzy and brought out the scandal of her marriage.
 She was arrested and tried for assault to murder, and after a sensational trial was sentenced on Sept. 20, 1889, to two years in prison. After this Hamilton sued for divorce and the trial was still pending at the time of her death. He was wealthy man, and the woman who duped him stands in fair way to get a comfortable silica of the estate, although her claims will be bitterly contested by the dead mans relatives, who have been waging war on her ever since the dis covery of their marriage.
 Robert Ray Hamilton was a great grandson of Alexander Hamilton, the great American statesman and a law yer by profession. He served several terms Tn the assembly with credit and had hosts of friends.
