Mars.

westermann says that the first sight OF
Mars through a modern telescope Is " real
ly terrifying" even for person OF good
nerve. 1t Is az IL one saw the whole earth,
with its icy poles and variegated tropics.
floating in the great blue canopy of space
above Through such an instrument one
can clearly distinguish the clear blue seas
and the brilliant, beaming, many hued
dry land. and on the latter the scorched
no beds OF what have once been lakes,
bays. rivers aud creeks.
As one continues TO look with raptured
gaze he can note the variation Of colors
and OF light and shade, and. further, that
the outlines on one edge of the disk pass
gradually out Of sight, while on the other
the ever changing and wondrous landscape
continually expands. Thus you have ocu-
lar proof that Mars. like our world aud the
other planets, rcvolves on its axis, and thai
the ends of the axes are frozen poles. As
tropomers who watch Mars year after year
saw that the ice crust mt the poles dlmin-
ishes during the Marsian summer, thus
demonstrating the fact that the planet -
influenced by the suns rays precisely az
our world X and that the atmosphere and
water are identical with those OF our globe.

Training a Pair of Randlts.

Two brothers, Cucchi by name, Corsi-
can villains of the deepest dye, found tho
neighborhood Of Ajaccio too hot 10 hold
them and resolved to take refuge In Sar-
tcne. They found a small boat upon the
beach and desired the owner to put out to
sea. Impossible" said the man, 1.-THE
boat is too small for such voyage and
would certainly founder" 'Do AS you are
bid," said the Cucchi, covering him with
their guns. Under these circumstances the
boatman had no alternative, so he got in,
and they pushed out 10 sea. But the waves
were high, and by little dexterous man
agement he contrived to make his boat
rock in such fashion that the bandits
became violently sick. "You STE, was
right" he coolly remarked, when his pas
sengers seemed sufficiently reduced. "You
will certainly be drowned if you go on
thus. You had much better let me put
you ashore and go back for n stronger and
better boat" $50 be it, gasped the ban
dts. "Oh, anything is better than this!"
They were put on shore, and in due time
the boatman returned with larger boat,
but at the bottom of it ley four gendarmes
disguised as sailors, and the brothers Cue
chi were taken before they had time TO
discover the trick.-Contemporary Re-

greater will be the number OF vibrations
of Tia, air column within the pipe. and in
the case of musical sounds the pitch OF the
note depends on the number OF vibrations
made by the sounding body in any given
time. Savart by series OF experiments
showed that seven or eight vibrations per
second produced continuous sound Ieeog

GERMAN REICHSTAG.
Won MlRBACH VEHEMENTLY DE-
NOUNcES THE RUSSIAN TREATY.
Hs Ia answered by Won Bieberstein, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs-Count
Won Moltke Speaks.

berlin. February 26.--To-day's sitting
OF the Reichstag opened with a full at
tendance of members, and the galleries
crowded to suffocation with visitors. All
of the Cabinet Ministers were present.
Cctltrary to expectations built upon previ-
GUS announcements neither Chancellor Won
Caprivl nor Marshall Won Biebcrstein
optned the debate on the Russian treaty.
Count Won Mirbach made a powerful
speech against the treaty. his utterances
being the first vehement denunclation OF
the measure. Russia, he declared, mad
long been a menace to Germany ICiiti-
caliy. Did the government, he asked, sup
puFs that this treaty would modify Rus
sian hostility? If this was the idea that
Influenced them in submitting the treaty
and pressing its passage they were
making a great mistake 1t was a grave
error To afford assistance to a country
which was unfriendly to Germany, while
Germany's real ally, Austria, lost all
the advantages she had justly intended
to obtain from a commercial convention.
II was deplorable TO see German industry
fall upon It's knees before Holy Lucsia."
| The ultimate result of the concession
granted TO Russia, though commercial en-
terprise might be temporarily benefited.
would be disastrous to German interests
as a whole.
Count Won Mirbach concluded by pro-
posing 10 refer the treaty 10 a commit
tee OF twenty Eight.
Won BIEBERSTEIN.
Herr Won Bieberstein, Minister of State
for Foreign Affairs, said that Germal in
duStries although prospering under the
, economic order of things I'm other coun-
tres, could not renounce the Russian
market. He contended that the prices OF
~ lin would not be so much altered by
thu reduction of the tariff on Russian
com as 10 materially injure German az
ricutural interests.
Non Bieberstein said the treaty was a
characteristic mark Of the present Eu-
rolf pan commercial policy The govern
4 ~ desired the Rechstag to exanIin.
the treaty only from an economic point
of view. The Conservatives he declared
would do wrong in bringing political mo-
tives into the discussion
Count Won Moltke. Free Conservative
spoke at length against the treaty. and
Herr Rickert leader of the Radical
Union, answered him. Won KarkOf. Free
Conservative and Agrarian. suggested
that the House consider at the same
time with the treaty the expediency OF a
sliding-scale in the tariff on grains This
suggestion was accepted by the deputies
