YALE BEHIND THE TIMES
But She Hopes to Have a Big Lens Whel


But She Hopes to Have a Big Lens whe n
Mars Calls on Us Next.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Aug. 4.-Mars ap-
peared no larger than the moon to the naked
eye through the Yale teleScope at the
observatory, and so far as scientific value
goes Yale will be unable to contribute
to the worlds knowledge this time.
The two moons of Mars have
never been seen from the Yal
Observatory. DR.. w. L. Elkins, the as
tronomer in charge, and Robert Brown, his
assistant, are the only members of the Yale
faculty making telescopic observations of
Mars at Yale, as all the other scientific pro-
fessors are on vacation. Prof Hastings, of
the Scientific School, says he is unable to
keep up with Lick and Washington dis
coveries, to say nothing ofmaking any fresh
ones
Prof Elkins says he does not believe that
Mars is inhabited or that it has high noun
tains and snow masses Yale will have a
new telescope before Mars comes again. 1t
is now being built at Clark's, Cambridge,
and will cost $4,000 The glass will be
% inches, and it will be one of the best
ever constructed.

HABITABLE BUT NOT INHABITED.
That Is One of Lieutenant Totten's Notions
About the Star of War.

That Is One OF Lieutenant Totten's Notions
About the Star of War.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Aug. An speak
ing of Mars Lieutenant Totten disclosed
some quaint views to-day. 81 think it is
habitable," said he, shut not inhabited.
don't think man exists on any other planet
in this universe. Jesus Christ did not come
to this earth to save men if there were men
on other planets"
The professors idea is that after death
mans body returns to dust and his soul to
oblivion until resurrected by a second ad-
vent. Then the just shall be given eternal
life and the unjust will have to live another
life. Then is the time that the other
planets will be peopled.
sIt is in the power of the One who made
Adam out of dust, said he, Ito place an
other Adam on Mars That Adam may be
the original Adam and into that Adam he
may breathe the breath of life and the
planet will be peopled."
Lieutenant Totten's idea Of heaven is not
Of the golden harp order. He believes
heaven will be practical but perfect world,
with newspapers, electric cars and occupa-
tions Just as at present, but the people will
be perfect, as Adam was before he sinned.
Judging from what he says, the planets
now hsbitable, but not inhabited, will be
the location of this heaven. In speaking of
translating men from this earth to Mars,
Lieutenant Totten said: ga flash of cleo
tricity will 90 round this earth in 20 sec
onds. No one knows how fast mans soul
will travel. Take Elijah, for instance; he
was translated bodily to heaven. 1t is pos
sible that man could be so transformed that
he would not need air, and then in the
twinkling of an eye be whisked away to
Mars Mind you, argue on the ground
that everything in the Bible is true. I be.
lieve it is, and have no difficulty in prov
ing it"

OBSERVATIONS ABROAD.

Not Much Of importance Has Yet Been
Discovered at Greenwich.
LONDON, Aug. Am the course of an
interview to-day by an Associated Press
representative with the astronomer in
charge of the observa atory at Greenwich,
the latter said that the planet Mars had
been regularly observed. A circular, he
stated, had been received from the WASH
ington, D. C., Observatory, indicating
the manner in which meridional observa-
tions should be taken before and after the
opposition. So far the weather has been
too thick to allow Mars to be plainly seen.
The planet is SO low also as to be unfavora-
bly, situated for the taking of observations
in northern latitudes
1t occupies just the position that the sun
occupies in midwinter In 1877 Mars was
much more favorably situated for the work
of astronomers. A few meridional observa-
tions, the astronomer added, had been taken
in accordance with the Washington pro-
gramme, but they had resulted in nothing
worth reporting. Various astronomers in
England had arranged to take observations,
but the weather had been unfavorable for
obtaining results of value.

No Longer Lawful in England to Block
Highways and Shoot Laborers
LONDON, Aug. 4.-Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge delivered judgment to-day regard
ing right of way in an action in which the
plaintiff, workingman, sued the Duke of
Rutland because the latter's game keepers
were stopping traffic on highway while
they were driving grouse. His Lordship,
in his deliverance, said that the days of
high-handed interference with the rights of
the people had passed, and that if the Duke
could not conduct his shootings without,
meddling with the rights of the public to
use the highway, he must elect other places
to hold his battues.
The evidence given during the trial of
the suit showed that the game-keepers
knocked the plaintiff down on the highway,
and that when the plaintiff complained of
this treatment to the Dukes son, Lord
Edward Manners, the latter replied: "Go
to the If you are shot your life will
be on your own head" This, the Lord
Justice said, could not be tolerated from
any person, Duke or other Lord Edward
Manners, interposing at this point in the
remarks of the Lord Chief Justice, said
that His Lordship's words seemed to hold
him Lord Edward) up as prospective
murderer To this His Lordship replied:
81 only said what considered it my duty
to say."

CHURCHES In CITIES

blamed by Boston Pastor for the Tene-
the Body as Well as the soul OF Man
Must BE Looked After.
ROUND LAKE, N. Y, Aug. 4-[SpecidL ]
Rev. Lewis Albert Banks, of Boston,
where he has been conducting a church in
the heart of tenement district for seven
years. delivered lecture here this after
noon on '"The Church Problem in Great
Cities" He took the ground that the
churches are themselves responsible for the
awful tenement house distresses, which they
have charged to municipal governments and
attributed to the influence of the dram shop.
He said:
The five largest Protestant denominations
can stop every legal1zed dram shop in either
Boston or New York If they will only try
to attend to their business on strictly busi-
ness basis, as the dram shops do. Let them
keep open all day and late into the night,
and offer light and music and fellowship to
all comers-not to the pewholders alone,
but to those who are too poor to own
q pew. Pew rent has got to go
If you are to save the souls of the
can't OF the saying Saving souls" The
church had better undertake to save men
and women, as we'll as souls. The churches
should not only be free, but there should be
free entertainments, to which the poor
should have as hearty an invitation as regu-
lar attendants. There should be a sort OF
employment bureau attached to each
church, so that when a member got out OF
employment the preacher might appeal for
him.
The lecturer said he had himself pursued
this plan, and had found that it helped to
save the body of the man, and invariably
the man became warm adherent of the
Church. He did not believe in little
missions" They looked too much like
they were the cast-of salvation offerings Of
the Church, and the poor had a right
to reject them. Gas for myself, E"
the speaker added with much feel
ing, self I had been brought up
in the tenement districts, as so many of my
people were, would have cursed the
Christian God that could have so neglected
me-" He closed with an earnest appeal to
the Christian ministers present, represent
ing so many widely separated congrega-
tions, to take up in their churches, when
they 60 home, the subject as he had stated
it
The discourse was received with every
manifestation of approval by those present,
many of whom are in charge of wealthy
churches. Among those who listened to it
with much satisfaction were Mr.. and Mrs.
Clafin, of the Forsyth Street Mission, in
New York City.

Four of Them Present at a Public Sch ool
Teachers' Examination.
DETROIT, Aug. 4-[Special 1.-The
county school examiners held examinations
in the high school to-day. Among the III
candidates for examination were four sisters
of this city, all teachers in the parochial
schools. They were dressed in the conven-
tional black gowns and white bonnets Of
their sect, and presented decided contrast
to the others who were present. They gave
their names as Sister Mary Angelo, who has
taught Is years; Sister Mary Pauline, Sis
ter Mary Ursula, and Sister Mary Lee.
Some of the strong anti-Catholic members
of the board objected to their taking the e1-
aminations, thinking that they had some
scheme to fill the minds OF public school
children with Catholic doctrines. Visions
of Catholic usurpation of the public
schools were dispelled by the Sisters, who
explained that they were curious to know
what percentages they could make at pub
lie school examination. They wished to
make a comparison of the two systems
They as sked for separate room, so as to
avoid the curious eyes fixed upon them.
They were permitted to take the examina-
tion, but were not given separate room.

The professor is confident that something

planet on account of the great interest
which is being taken in it at the present
time by scientists.
When asked if he really believ ed that
the planet was inhabited, he replied:
Eyes. There are many reasons which

have good grounds to believe that the
planet Is inhabited with human beings the
same as the earth.
