The Mower In the Alps Has a Very
Dangerous Position.
The peasant mountain mower is ac-
customed to all the perils of the noun
tain, and the day before the moving
season begins--a day fixed by COM
munal decree-he bids farewell, per-
haps for the last time, to his wife and
children.
His scythe on his shoulder, armed
with his iron shod stick. provided with
his scamp irons, cloth or net rolled
up in his bag, he sets out at midnight,
in order that the dawn may find him
ut his work
During the two months of Harvest he
goes down to the village only three or
four times TO renew his supply OF food
or linen. by this hard and perilous
occupation an Alpine mower makes
from sixty cents to one dollar day,
his food not included; and many times
under some projecting rock he must
seek a bed and pass the night
Once dried, this wild hay is carefully
gathered into cloth or net and carried
down TO the first little plain where IL
can be made into u stack, which is
loaded with large stones TO prevent its
being blown away.
In winter. when everything Is COW
cred with snow, the mower climbs the
perpendicular side of the mountain,
carrying his little wooden sledge on
his shoulders lie loads il with hay,
seats himself in front, and shoots down
with the swiftness Of an arrow.
Indeed, in these steep solitudes
where the grass is found, the life of
man is so exposed and accidents arc so
frequent that the law forbids that
there should be more than one mower
in a family.

resemblance in the inclination in the
axis, which provides that on this planet
also the seasons follow each other in
regular succession. The ice crust at
the poles diminishes in summer. and
Westernman's Manto's-lIefte claims
that this affords demonstration not
only that Mars is influenced by the
suns rays precisely as we are, but also
that the air and water are identical
with ours. In fact the meterolory
of Mars is now in beng reduced

planets by superficial character
istics, however, one must admit a
condition implying a higher degree
OF development in Mars The eonti-
nents of the earth, seen from a dis
tance, present very torn appear
ance, and occupy scarcely a third ofits
surface, while Mars is girdled on both
sides of the equator by one continuous
mainland, intersected by net work of
canals and rivers, the land occupying
approximately three-fourths of the
whole area of the planet and the water
only one-fourth, as consequence of
which il may be that its atmosphere is
less clouded and vapor laden than ours
Peculiarly characteristic is the arrange
ment in which the geological nature of
Mars has laid the streams lcanals?).
All our streams, without exception are
tortuous, and all increase in width as
they near the ocean.
On Mars, on the contrary, the streams
flow in straight lines, and are of uni
form width from source to mouth.
These streams, from 20 to 100 kilometers
apart, have their banks so well defined
as to suggest the idea that they are
subject to intelligent regulation. II is
hardly possible to conceive that two
parallel canals, intersected at right
angles by third, as in 0phir land, can
be the work of the elementary forces
of nature. The question suggests itself
again by the two canals which flow
from ocean to ocean through the island
Hellas, crossing each other at right
angles in the center Not less aues-
tionable is the origin Of the great blue
lake of the sun in the center of Keppler
land, with its three rectilinear canals
connecting it with the ocean
But what most excites our astonish-
ment in connection with these canals
is that almost every one of them is
double, i. e, it has its parallel canal
alongside of it, but visible at intervals
only. This has thoroughly perplexed
