What Astronomers Think.

What Astronomers Think.
zone circumstance, says Professor
Proctor, that may at first excite sur
prise is the fact that in a planet SO
much farther from the sun than the
world there should exist so close re-
semblance to the earth in respect to
climatic relations.
But if we consider the results of
Tyndale's researches on the radiation
of heat, and remember that very mod
crate increase in the quantity Of certain
vapors present in our atmosphere would
suffice to render the climate of the
earth intolerable through excess Of heat
lust as glass walls cause dollhouse
to be warm long after the sun has set
we shall not fail to see that Mars may
readily be compensated by correspond
ing arrangement for his increased dis
lance from the vivifying center Of his
solar system.
Professor Swift says that there is
certainly something that is mysterious
in the topography of the planet, as
viewed from the earth.
Some of it's markings" he adds, "are
changeable, and appear as clouds, while
others seem stable and are indicative OF
solidity. AS, however, Mars rotates on
its axis so slowly, no belts like those
environing Jupiter and Saturn are
visible.
THAT Mars is inhabited is an under
stood fact. That it was created to that
end is verify, but whether it is or not
is only question that we can judge by
understanding it's availability for the
giving of life to human beings. No
telescope has yet been discovered that
truly tells that fact.
Prof Schiaparelli is the only astron-
omer that has managed to draw chart
of Mars that as a planet exists only in
the minds of other not quite SO famous
astronomers.
Aside from the discoveries of the
Italian professor, the credit of finding
that Prof. Schiaparelli is correct must
be awarded to the famous Lick OBJ
servatory at San Francisco. The money
to build this magnificent observatory
was furnished by Mr.. Lick, and it has
well demonstrated his faith that it was
needed by the fact that it has told the
world that Mars is probably another
planet like ours.

Noble Spelling.

Many a man has been sorry that
he ever put himself into the power OF
a dealer in patent medicine. A re.
cent example is furnished by mem
Der of the British nobility.
The Duke of , out OF feelings
of gratitude, we may assume, gave a
testimonial to the proprietors of a
patent cure for snoring, and they,
naturally enough, circulated a litho-
graphed copy of the letter by way of
advertisement. The result is that
everybody is asking where the duke
went to school. And the duke, we
are told, recognizing the fact that
the word "effcaccious" has a strange
look in print, has vowed never to pen
another testimonial without a die
tionary at his elbow.

difficulty by constructing home
made awnings.
A frame was made of lathS and
short screws, on the plan shown in
the illustration, and covered with
striped awning cloth. This cloth
happened to be of just the right
width to cover the top and front of
the frame. The triangular side
pieces were cut from one length of
cloth, thus economizing material.
The coverings were tackled on with
timed tacks, as these are less likely
to rust than others; and the awning,
completed, was fastened with small
wire nails to the inside of the win
dow-casings, in the manner shown in
the cut.

we should have preferred awnings in

the blinds, when closed shut out the
