There had been great preparations
for the celebration of the Fourth. 1t
was to be a sort of cooperative celebra
ton. In the forenoon there was to be
a big parade and sham battle at Fair
field; in the afternoon, speeches and a
circus at Midway; and in the evening,
Chester, the next town on the river be-
low Midway, was to furnish fireworks
and grand ball, after which the visit
ors from Fairfield and Midway were to
return home by steamboat, along with
more fireworks.
The evening of the third, Private
Hull, having permission from his cap
tain to be absent, hurried up town
and up Locust avenue to the Porter
abode to tell Dorothy that he would
be at liberty to take her to the ''do-
ings" atMidway and Chester next day.
Dorothy, who was beginning to feel a
bit ashamed of herself for having had
such good time while Phil had been
for two hours talked of little else than
what they were to do next day. The
more she talked the more Phil thawed,
and it took them much longer to part
at the gate than usual; and Private
Hull went back to camp more in love
than ever, and Dorothy went to sleep
feeling a real good girl.
OF course, next morning, before 1t was
fairly dawn the small boys were out
with their firecrackers and toy cannons;
then the old six-pounder at the court
house greeted the rising sun with a
resonant ''Boom." and voliey of

studying the planet Mars.


VIESSA. Aug. AIN an interview had
by representative of the Associated
Press at the observatory on Turken-
schanze, with the assistant astronomer
Hildebrand, the latter said a careful OBJ
servation of the planet Mars was made
from the night of July to that of Aug
ust =, inclusive, by Herr Palisa, chief
assistant astronomer, and himself.
Owing to the proximity of the planet to
the southern horizon, the result of the
observations was unsatisfactory. The
progress of the planet was watched for
an hour. At point 81 deg. above the
horizon, snow fields could be seen dis
tinctly extending 80 deg. from the south
pole. Immediately after this white
patch, three large dark groups were OBJ
served. Perhaps remarked Herr
Hildebrand, sthey are continents like
those of our earth. The haze which en-
veloped the lower part of Mars, however
rendered accurate observations impos
sible. The north pole and equator were
completely ohscured." The observa
tions were. taken at 1:3o in the morning
with the largest telescope in centra
Europe.

mode of initiation, names OF members
and officers and plan of procedure.
After the Gem fight he left Gem and
