An English Preacher Discusses Probabili-
ties to Mercury, Neaus and Mars.
Rev. Dr. Dallinger delivered lecture
at Bristol the other night ON the planets
around US and their probable habitabil-
ity. says the Pail Mall Budget. Speak
ing of Mercury, DIR. Dallinger pointed
out its chief features and showed that
they approXimated to those of the
earth Although the heat from the sun
there was more intense, ii might be
tempered by the character OF the atmos-
phere- Venus was yet more akin To
our world in every respect, 50 that life
there, as we know it, was yet more pos
sible. The conditions of the atmos-
pherc. indeed, were such that the whole
globe might be habitable. Mars next
came under review, the lecturer eX-
planning its character, substance, at
mosphere and other features, which, he
said, made the existence of creatures, if
not man. quite possible. People were
slowly losing their former notions that
there were nothing and nobody in the
universe except the world and man.
There were other worlds, however,
which. as far as human intelligence
could judge, were not yet suitable for
habitation, but were gradually assum-
ing conditions which might ultimately
make life possible. The lecturer held
the opinion that many years hence
some means of mental communication
with the dcnizens of the other planets
might Ice established In the present
days of marvellous discoveries in science
all things seemed possible, and the estab-
lishment of intercommunication of
some kind between this earth and the
beings of the planets did not seem more
improbable or impossible than the send
ing of a telegraph message from Eng
land To New York seemed one hundred
years ago.

HospitaI for Doga.

A hospital for dogs, said To be the
most complete of its kind in the world
was formally opened in Philadelphia
recently, DIR. Furness making an clab-
oratc address on the occasion. The
building covers an area of G5X5O feet,
andis two stories high, with a base
ment, which contains the kitchen. On
the first floor is a clinic room opening
into a larger room, in which dogs af-
fectcd with noncontagious diseases will
be- treated. On opposite sides of this
are wards for distemper and mango.
On the second floor are four rooms
which will probably be used as labora-
tories for original research in veterin-
AIRY medicine. All the rooms are fitted
with complete heating and ventilating
apparatus, and they will be lighted by
electricity, while electric fans will reg
ulate the temperature There will be
baths for the dogs, and the animals will
toe kept in iron cages on wheels. The
building is of Roman brick with peb-
bile dashing and redstone trimming and
with roof of unfading green slate.

REIGN OF KING COTTON.

why 1t Became Supreme In the south
immediately After the War.
Promising as was the industrial ad-
vance of the south prior to the war it
WAS in its agriculture that the chief in
tercstS of the people were centered,
says the Engineering Magazine Here
was Displayed an energy as great as
that wh.rh opened up To civilization
the vast pr aries of the west; here was
a weli-rtun.ied growth which neither
the south nor any other part of the
c.,unLry has been able To duplicate since
ti.e war. Cotton was indeed king, but
il was not such an absolute monarch as
il has been since lSG5 nor as grain has
been in the west. Instead of being the
main crop of the south it was largely a
surplus crop. The south did not then
have its ''smokchouse and corn crib in
the west''-this was one of the disasters
of the war-but it produced its own
corn. wheat and bacon. The war
changed these conditions. 1t left such
universal poverty that men were com
PEELED 10 grow cotton alone, because the
crop would be mortgaged before IL was
planted for enough at least 10 secure
bare living for the planter while he
waited for il to matdre. On no other
crop could advances be secured in this
way. When the crop had been gathered
and turned over Ia tho merchant who had
been carrying" him, and out of its
proceeds the debt for goods bought on
credit-including interest and commits
sions-had been paid, the farmer had
nothing left. As the next season came
around he was again compelled To mort
gage his crop in advance u the man To
whom hc was already in debt. 1t was
"a condition and not u theory" that con
frontcd the farmers of tine south and
necessarily il has taken years for them
to gradually work out of II. Moreover,
the negroes, intoxicated with free

While they had nothing in the world on
which To start, they were financially
about a. well off Is their late master,
for, at least, they had no debts to in
cumber them for years to come Cotton
was the easiest crop for them to Guilt
vslte. and 80 they all began TO grow cot
ton, buying western corn and bacon On
credit from the merchant who had
mortgage on the cotton before the
ground was piowed for its planting.

part of the crop for the rent of the land
they cultivatel-and moving about fire.
quently, they had no induccmcnt To try
to improve the soil. SO. while the ag-
gregate acreage annually increased, the
total production OF the south's crops
fell far short of the yield per capita be
tween 1880 and 1860.

a MIGHTY HUNTER.
Theirs Remark. which Was Truly French

Theirs Remark Which Was Truly French
in Its Wit.
1t is the custom in France for all the
fashionable world to 20 shouting in the
autumn. Every posScSSor of a landed
estate invites his friends from Paris to
visit him ut this season. and every Wis
itnr Is expected to distinguish himself
with the gun.
When Adolph Theirs, the petit bour-
geois statesman of Franco, became
president of the republic he was iu-
vitcd one autumn To take part in the
sports at the country estate of NJ. CAST
mir-PerIer. He accepted the invitation
and consequently had to appear on the
hunting field in shooting dress and
armed with a gun. The whole enter
tainmeut was really in his honor.
NJ. CaSimerPerier was aware that
his old friend, now the president.
knew nothing whatever about hunting.
But he instructed his gamcllcepcr to
follow NJ. Theirs about and see that.
in one way or another, the great guest
of the occasion "bagged" more game
than any other person.
The gamekecper led the president to
n certain spot and said to him: Your
eXcellency, the game will all be driven
past this place. You have nothing to
do but remain here and if you shoot at
all you are bound To kill something"
But the president, TO his credit, de-
clined this opportunity, and insisted
upon travelling about with the other
hunters-eXcept that he never went to
the right place and never got a shot at
all. The gameIleeper was in despair
The distinguished guest kept him hop
ping about from place to place but, al
ways out of range of the game.
Nevertheless, by collusion with 9th
ers, the gamekeeper so managed it
that when the days sport was over
NJ. Thiers who had not discharged his
gun all day, found large pot of game
at his feet, which was declared to be
his bag"
This mine?" said the president, in
astonishment.
Certainly. Your excellency."

anything before | became president. so

In the year 1910 the locomotive was

ployed to drag a few coach-like cars at
speed of about ten miles an hour.
Then the directors and stockholders of
railroads constituted the meekest class
of citizens, very different from the die
tatorial, influential class of the pres

and after his death she took entire

her the Lady of the Bon Marche,"
and looked upon her as almost a saint
She was very prosperous in the busi-
ness, and associated with herself as
stockholders the chiefs of the various
departments who had been faithful in
their service, that they might share in
the profits. Then she wished to in
cludc as many of the other employees as
possible, so she ceded part of her
shares TO a common fund subject to
their purchase. In her will she left the
rest of her shares To the stockholders.
She also gave one million dollars of her
