The WATERWAYS of MARI.

Perhaps the majority Of the readers have
read and speculated on one or more Of the
various theories respecting the so called
canals Of the planet Mars Are they
really the work of intelligent beings or are
they natural watercOurses which flow from
their sources into the various lakes and
seas through an earth crust which lacks the
density to offer resistance TO the current OF
the moving watersS These questions, a.
well as the scores Of others which will nat
uraily suggest themselves to the reader,
will in all probability remain unanswered
throughout all eternity. but the fact re-
mains that the Marsian streams without
exception flow in straight lines and are OF
uniform width from source to mouth.
In the region called ''Opher Land" by the
astronomers two Of these streams, about 20
kilometers apart throughout their lengths,
are intersected at right angles by third.
the width of which is the same as that Of
the two main waterways. Then, again, the
island Of Hellas Is provided with two
streams or canals which flow directly across
it from ocean to ocean. crossing each other
in the exact geographical center These
and other facts lead to the belief that these
waterways are subject to intelligent con-
troi--ot Louis Republic.

NOVELIST READe'S LAMENT.
The Famous Writer Disappointed In the
Great Ambition of His Life.

Moved by a great literary ambition in
early life, Readc had failed often when he
believed he should have succeeded, and
even at the last he would readily have given
up all his fame as novelist to have beer
the author of one great and lasting play.
Il am lrnInatist born" he once said
to me, but novelist by force of circum
stances" He attributed such success as he
achieved-both as n novelist and dramatist
to the encouragement and advice of Mrs
Seymour. At the opening of his career,
after many disappointments, he saw Mrs
Seymour on the stage, was impressed with
her talents, obtained an introduction to her
and read her play.
YES, very good " she said, when he had
finished, but why don't you write nov
rls2"
This was the bitterest thing she could
have said to him at this time. He did not
want to write novels. His ambition lay in
the direction Of the stage.
81 am trespassing on your time" he said
and went his way. She construed his dis
appointment into want Of money.
mo doubt he hoped | would buy his
play, she said Poor fellowl" And she
wrote him kindly letter and sent him a
s. note which she begged he would accept
as loan,
He waited upon her to return her gift,
and, to quote his biographer, ''if Mrs. Sey
mour found for the first time man of
genius who neither cared for money nor
love, but courted fame and friendship,
celebrity and sympathy, Charles Reade was
equally charmed by at last discovering a
woman who could understand his motives
and am bitions and was ready to give him
what he sorely needcd-the first step on the
ladder"
The friendship Of Charles Reade and Mrs
Seymour, thus Economically begun, lasted
until death She was his companion critic
and housckceper for more than Il quarter of
u century. He was inconsolable for her
death. and moved by charge of un-Chris
tian conduct by an American journal he
made, through me, declaration Of pure
and simple friendship that governed his re
latious with Mrs. Seymour, and defending
himself as "a Christian he took down from
his book shelves the fourth volume Of 1.-THE
Cloister on the Hearth, " and read to me,
tears rolling down his cheeks, the words of
the monk to the princess: Forever! Chris
tians love forever but they do not part for
ever. They part as part the earth and sun
to meet more brightly in Il little while. W,
part in trouble; we shall meet in peace
We part creatures of clay; we shall meet
immortal spirits. We part in world Of
sin and SORROW; we shall meet where all is
peace and where love is divine. Liver
