OBSERVATION OF MARS.
Vast Ranges of Melting Snow on
the Planet.

New YORK, August 1.-THE Her
aid yesterday morning publishes the
following dispatch from Professor
Pickering,of the Harvard college as
Economical expedition to Peru:
AREoUIPA, Peru, Aug. 10.
In my observation Of Mars have
seen two large areas near the equator
which are permanently blue. Near
the edges they appear light blue
The light is slightly polarized. The
total size of the area is about 500, 900
square miles, one-half the Mediter-
ranean sea. June % small dark
spot appeared In the southern snow
cap. Later this spot Heightened ra-
pidiy, and early In July it was 1000
miles long, dividing the snow in
half. Sixteen thousand square miles
of snow have melted within the last
80 days. The melted snow has APP
paren;ly been transferred to the seas
across the land. Small dark areas,
surrounded by snow appeared July
10, and two days later | first saw a
dark line In the fork of a "Y"-shaped
mark in the direction of the seas.
The line became more conspicuous
July IA, and on the 18th dark area,
about the size Of Lake Erie, appeared
N the northern side OF the stem of
the Y which was connected with
he northern sea. The next day there
appeared large, dark gray area near
the MOI thern sea. This had grown
much fainter by July %, and new
area appeared to the south of the
nortbprD sea, concealing its outline.
The line in the fork of the Y bad
disappeared, but the area of the Y
had extended. On July "a, a large
dark area,apparently either lake or
sea, appeared near the melting snow,
and on July 25 the southern branch
of the Y became very narrow. The
outlines Of the northern sea were
seen against narrow white line
stretching north from the snow.
Many other changes were noted, ra.
pidly changing faintish areas were
seen. Green areas near the poles
have not been seen for many weeks,
but traces were recently suspected,
and bright green area was distinct
ly seen near the north pole last
uipht.

Chased by q Wild Car.

Il was chased once by u box car,
said Harry G. Moore, an ex-railroad
man. ''It was out in Colorado, the land
of steep grades and sharp curves. We
were sliding down the mountains one
day with a baggage car and two coaches.
1 was on the rear platform looking at
the road when l deserted box car
coming down the grade at rate of
speed that was appalling. If it struck
us we were gone sure, for it would
smash the entire train into kindling
wood and pile it up in one of the gorges.
Our only hope was either to oytrun or
wreck it. The engineer caught sight of
it at the same instant that did and put
the lever down among the tallow pots.
1t appeared impossible that we could
hold the track on the sharp curves while
moving more than mile minute, but
we did, and the box car continued to
saw wood.
eff we could once get to the foot of
the grade we would he safe, but that
WAS soon seen to be impossible. Rapidly
as we were going the box car continued
to gain upon us, and now we could see
that it was loaded with iron. Some
thing must be done and that quickly.
All the passengers had fled into the for
ward coach and were hanging on to the
seats. 1 signaled the engineer to shut
off, set brake hard on the rear coach,
pulled the pin and the engineer opened
the throttle. Wehad not gone 100 yards
before the box car ran into the coach
and sent splinters flying quarter of a
mile high. Both went plunging over into
a chasm."- Louis Globe-Democrat.

disliking the Fridays dinner of fish and
potatoes, used regularly on Thursday to
go looking about for bones to hide them
for his meals next day. How did he
know that Thursday preceded Friday
Another dog associated Sunday with
personal cleanliness, and used as regu-
larly as it came around to go and take a
bath, unless the weather was very cold,
when he gave himself absolution. His
name was Jocko.-London Truth.

How Two Painters Became Acquainted

When in HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls, and without making
70 have his portrait painted, but as he
was in great hurry he could spare but
two hours, at the end of which the por-
trait must be done. Halls went to work
and finished it, and Vandyke was much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed
very little thing, said Vandyke, and
he asked Halls to change places with
him. Halls did SO, and as Vandyke fin
ished his work Halls hugged him enthu-
siastically, saying: "You are Vandyke.
No one but he can do what you have
DONE" And so the two great masters
became acquainted.-Harper's Young

EMINENT SUICIDES.
Give and Castlereagh Killed Themselves
and Napoleon Attempted To.

Give and CastIereagh Killed Themselves
and Napoleon Attempted To.
The history of suicides presents long
array of eminent victims. The suicides
of antiquity are not considered, for men
were educated in these days TO embrace
suicide when all was lost. We do not
find many conspicuous instances of sui
eide in the Middle Ages. Outdoor ac-
tivity and an intensely practical life was
the rule with men of sensibility outside
of convent walls, and suicide was not
common until the Eighteenth century,
when men of sedentary lives began to
multiply. The Nineteenth century is
conspicuous for suicides compared with
the Eighteenth, and the most ~ -dious
nation in the woltd, Germany, furnishes
the largest list of suicides.
Next to Germany. France furnishes
the largest list of suicides among civil
lied peoples. The English are not prone
to suicide Their love of outdoor sports
keeps them free from dyspepsia and dis
orders of the liver, and their native
courage and endurance prompts them
to cling to live even when life Is but one
long, ceaseless round of pain. Three
eminent Englishmen committed suicide,
Lord Give, the founder of England's
Indian empire; Sir Samuel Romilly, a
great jurist and philanthropist, and
Lord Castlereagh, a famous statesman,
England's representative in the congress
of Vienna after the fall of Napoleon.
Give was a hypochrondriac from
youth, and used opium in his last years;
Romilly was despondent over the death
of his wife, and bitterly repented his act
with his dying breath. The self de-
struction of Castlereagh was never
clearly explained. Napoleon attempted
suicide. Frederick the Great prepared
for it by carrying poison in his clothes
during his dreadful fight for his crown.
No eminent American has ever commit
ted suicide, although suicide is more
common in America than in England,
owing doubtless to the intensity of our
struggle for wealth and fame.
Insane men are frequently suicides,
but it can hardly be said that all sui
cides are insane. The paralysis of the
instinct of self preservation may result
from severe mental and bodily suffer
ing, and the deliberation and seeming
sanity of the suicides preparation for
death, the calmness of his last words,
would often seem to forbid the theory
of insanity. The hopeless consunptive,
the victim of cancer, not seldom COM
mits suicide to secure that sudden stop
to suffering that we call humanity when
extended to wretched brute. Suicide
is rare among savage tribes, probably
because they are so occupied with pure
ly material matters that they have no
time for spiritual agony or severe men
tai strain, or costly round of various
vices.-Kansas City Journal.

owing to the rites of burial having never
