lieved to have been cut for thousands OF
miles across the land to connecs with
the seas. They are green in color, like
the water, and, in order to be visible
through our telescopes, they must be
from 100 to 400 miles in length. They
must also be about 200 miles wide. They
run mostly from north to south, for the
seas divide the land from east to west.
1t is difficult to c)nceive of such enor-
nous public works, but nothing else

Proctor, that may at first excite surprise
is the fact that in a planet so much

ted. II was some fifteen years ago that
Mars first became planet that had any
earthly interest to the people that live on
this globe.
A very wise man that used to sit up
nights and look at the sky through
telescope first made known the fact that
Mars was good deal like the earth in
its shape, and also uttered the startling
theory that he thought it possible that
the planet was inhabited.
People laughed at him just then, and
he faded into the oblivion that comes to
people who are in the habit OF discover
ing facts ahead OF time.
But after him came man who told
the same thing again in new way, and
who now has got to n point where the
world is beginning to believe that he is
right.
The man is Professor Schiaparelli, Of
Milan, Italy. lie says that in his opinion
the planet Mars is not simply nebulous
quantity of vapor, but it isa solid sub
stance on which animals and men exist.
He found that the planet has diane
ter of about 1000 miles. BY careful cal
culation he is confident that its year con
sisted of 6S7 days. and that each day in
time was forty minutes longer than our
day. lie also found that the planet was
made up of water and land, just like our
world. 1t has, he says, seas and conti-
nents and rivers.
AS to its density, it differs very little
from the earth. Gravitation at its sur
face must be much less than it Is in this
world. A man who weighs $50 pounds
upon this mundane sphere would weigh
about sixty pounds on Mars. In fact,
all substances would be reduced in weight
by transfer from our world to Mars.

"But il we consider the results OF
Tyndal's researches on the radiation OF

Increase in the quantity of certain va

suffice to render the climate of the cartl

Just rs glass walls cause II hothouse to he
warm long after the sun has set-ye
shall not fail to see that Mars may readi-
ly be compensated by corresponding
arrangement for his increased distance
from the viviiying centre of his solar
system"
Professor Swift says that there is GER
tainly something that is mysterious in the
Typography of the planet as viewed from
the earth.
"Somc of its markings he adds,
'arc ohangeablG, and appear as clouds,
while others seem stable aud are indica-
tive of solidity. As, however, Mars
rotates upon his axis so slowly no belts
like those environing Jupiter aud 81.
turn are visible.
"That Mars is inhabited is not an un-
derstood fact. That it WIS created to that
end is verify, but whether it is or not
is only question that we can judge by
understanding its availability for the
giving of life to human beings. No
telescope has yet been discovered that
truly tells that fact"
Professor Sciapareli is he only a'trono-
mer that has managed to draw chart
of Mars that AS n planet exists only in
the minds of others not quite SO famous
astronomers.
Aside from the discoveries OF the Ital-
inn professor the ere dit of finding that
Professor Schiaparelli is correct must be
awarded to the famous Lick Observatory
a; San Francisco. The money to build
this magnificent observatory was fur
nishcd by Mr. Lick and it has well dem
onstrated his faith that it was needed
by the fact that it has told the world
that Mars is probably another continent
like ours.-New York Journal.

pire of India. Prior to the English oc-
cupation it was under Portuguese and
Dutch and native rules, and many
fierce battle has been fought for its
possession.
Bombay is now thriving city Of
nearly one million souls, and one hears
more strange tongues spoken there than
in any other place in the world. Its
temperature ranges from seventy-iive de-
grees Farenheit to 115 degrees, with from
seventy to 300 inches OF rain yearly, and
daily tide of from fourteen to seventeen
feet. The city is handsomely laid out
and has many magnificent temples,
mosques, palaces aud public and private
buildings. What interested us most,
however, were the native quarters. The
streets are narrow and tortuous, although
| Iam bound to say they are cleaner than
those of San Francisco. The houses
are picturesque in the extreme, with a
proiusion OF fine sculpturing, project
ing stories, curious bay windows and

have also taught the people not to place

Upon that planet our oak would become
as light as cork. Our gold would be rs
light as tin.
The question just now is: Is Mars in
habitedi
No one knows, of course, whether it
is or not. The only thing to judge by
is in the character OF the planet gathered
by careful inspection through telescopes.
Astronomers are conident that they
have seen the eternal SHOWS of the two
polar regions of our neigabor world.
They are confident that its contents are
red, and that its seas are green, and they
are equally sure that its seas do not
cover more than one fourth of its sur
face. The seas on our continent cover
three-fourths Of the world, which points
the comparison.
This scarcity of water in Mars is its
most remarkable feature.
The theory that people really do in
habit the planet is born Out by the fact
that Professor Schisrparelli is confident
that he has discovered that Mars has
been traversed by gigantic canals. 1t is
easy to see that If there are canals on
the planet, it is surety that people
must have built them. This idea, too,
is strengthened by the discovered fact
that there is scarcity of water in the
planet. Necessarily the planet must be

which game of cricket on the packet

about twenty yards of stout line.
Whenever it was knocked cut to sea the
flelders had to haul in the line, which
generally became eutaneied at this criti-
cal moment, and deied the excited ef-
forts to release it ere the batsman had
piled up the runs. At other times the
natsman would be lassoei by the line
attached to the ball. and time had to ba

A Horse That Breathes Through Z
Silver Tuhc.

Minnie Is the most remarkable horse
in New York City.
Minnie has lungs like other horses
and she uses them to breathe, too; but
the airis brought to them neither through
the mouth nor nostrils, as in other
horses, but through silver tube.
Minnie has been very asthmatic, and
with the ordinary mode OF breathing,
the doctor said, her death was question
OF but weeks or days. To save her, for
Minnie was a good, powerful and gentle
mare, her owners, F. A. Seagrist &c Co.,
consented that an operation be performed
on her throat. Accordingly Vetinary
Surgeon James Hamil was called in
about a year ago and made series Of
incisions into the throat aud tracheal
tube, and Minnie ut once began to
breathe quite freely. But how to keep
open these sluices of respiration was the
next question. For although in course
OF time the apertures would heal and
cause no pain, the danger lay in their
becoming clogged by impurities of the
atmosphere, as well as by the phlegm
from the horses lungs.
