MARS OBSERVATIONS.

Results of Vienneso Astronomers Efforts
Europe.
VIENNA, Aug. 5.--In an interview had
by the representative of the Associated
Press at the observatory on the Turk
enschanze, in Vienna, with Assistant
Astronomer Hide brand, the latter said
that careful observations of the planet
Mars were made from the night of July
80 to that of August 9, inclusive, by
Herr Palisa, the chief assistant astron-
omer, and himself. Owing to the proX-
unity of the planet to the southern hor-
izon, however, the result of the observa-
tions was unsatisfactory. The progress
of the planet was watched for an hour
At point fifty-two degrees above the
horizon snow fields could be seen dis
tinctly, extending thirty degrees
from the south pole. Immediately un-
derneath this white patch three large,
dark groups We're observable. Per
haps," remarked Herr Hildebrand to
his caller, "they are continents like
those of our earth. The haze which en-
veloped the lower part of Mars, how
ever, rendered accurate observations
impossible: The north pole and the
equator were totally obscured. These
observations were taken at half-past l
o'clock in the morning, with the largest
telescope in central Europe.

Sanitary Wall Papers.

The sanitary wall papers, which are
heavily glazed and vanished so that
they are equal to three coats of paint
after they are put up and properly fin
ished, are a boon to housekeepers who
require durable wall covering which
will bear washing, In the bathroom
and buffers pantry this sanitary paper
is especially in requisition. 1t comes in
geometrical designs, in blue and white
tiling patterns, in old-fashioned French
tile designs after Vatican, and in rustic
patterns which initiate Delft tiling.
After the paper is put on the wall it is
finished with a coat of sanitary varnish,
which makes it thoroughly durable.
The great advantage of this paper lies
in the fact that it is a non-absorbent.
1t does not take up odors or impurities
of the atmosphere and the highly glazed
surface may be washed with water as
readily as tiling and without injury tc

BRAVE OLD STEPHEN eIRARD.
4 Rich Man Who Loved Children and
Gave His Wealth to His Country.

4 Rich Man Who Loved Children and
Gave His Wealth to His Country.
A famous and eccentric millionaire
was Stephen Girard, but the world has
not yet analysed his character. In fact,
very few men in history have united so
many apparently contradictory quail
ties. He loved children most passion
ately, and the sight of crippled or
misera ble-looking urchin would bring
tears to his eyes His devotion to the
United States never once faltered, and
at every reverse during the war of 1872
Is he ground his teeth and, it is said,
swore in his native French. At length
he offered to dedicate his entire fortune
to the cause, lent the government five
million dollars and asked no interest
till the war closed. A rich man who
loves children and is willing to give all
his wealth to his country must have a
deal of good in him.
His bravery was of the morally sub
lime order. When the yellow fever
scourged Philadelphia, and the panic
had driven away most of the nurses he
| and Peter Helm worked two months in
the hospital at the most menial offices
and shamed the fuint-hearted into
bravery. An atfiiction in early child
hood destroyed his right eye and dis
torted that side of his face, so the boys
niclnamed him by French word that
might be translated wall eye" He
lost his mother when I've was quite
young and his father was harsh. In
short, he was miserable, lonely child,
and fed from home to be cabin boy at
the age of ten.
The romance of his life came to him
in Philadelphia, where he opened his
first store He was loved and beloved
again. She was singularly beautiful
and vivacious; he taciturn, badly dis
figured and eleven years her senior For
few years they were very happy; then
she suddenly lost her health, soon be-
came violently insane, and lived in that
condition thirty years in the state asy-
lum. Their only child died in Infancy,
and the sad old man finished his jour
ney alone. His magnificent CHARITIES
have preserved his name for ali time.
He was deist in religion and named
his ships after intidel authors. Chicago

CURED at the Duquesne plant of the
Carnegie Steel Co., Thursday, resulting
in the injury of fifteen men. Foreman
Millslagle and another workman were
fearfully cut about the head and about
a dozen others received bruises and
many were knocked down.
The property is now in possession OF
the Sixteenth regiment. Col. Hulings,
who is in command, said: 'Most of the
Duquesne workmen having signified
their intention of returning to work, a
detachment of 40 was ordered to report
for repairs Thursday morning
GAS they approached the gate the
mob met and drove them back with
clubs. The nine deputies in charge OF
the mill rushed to the spot, but were
powerless- The men about to enter rar
for their lives, and the deputies dis
patched to Gen. Wylie, who ordered the

Col. Hulings has reported to Gen
Wylie that two companies will be a
sufficient guard.

A SCHEMEe
To Establish Communication Between
Earth aud Mars.

To Establish Communication Between
Earth aud Mars.
LONDON, Aug. s-Mr Francis Galton,
+. r. s., f. G. s., chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the Kew observa-
tory, has written letter to the Times
relative to n scheme for establishing
communication between Mars and the
earth. Mr. Galton declares that beam
of sunlight reflected through hole
one-tenth of an inch square in a plate
in front of mirror would be just as
distinctly seen as faint CLINT at dis
tance of ten miles. The amount of fog
and haze which a beam of light
would traverse between the earth
and. Mars, when the latter is
high above the horizon, Mr. Gal
ton says, could not exceed that
along an earthly ten-mile. Therefore
the same proportion between the size of
the mirror and the distance holding
true, it follows that the flash from
many mirrors simultaneously, whose
aggregate width was fifteen yards, and
and whose aggregate length, to allow
for slope was, say, twenty-five yards,
would be visible on Mars if seen through
telescope like that at the Lick observ-
atory, in California, and the inhabi-
tants, if they have eyes and fairly good
Telescopes would speculate concerning
the beam, and would wish to answer.
