A Kansas Man.

All the world knows the Kansas man.
He is scattered over the surface of the
earth, from the point where the sun
rises to the place where it slowly sinks
TO rest, His name is found carved on
every water tank along the railroad of
time. Centuries before the word Kan
sas was thought of, there was still the
Kansas man, regardless of the particular
appellation he masqueraded under. He
explores the Attic regions, painfully
climbs to the tops of mountain peaks to
le0k at the view, enlists on one side or
tine other in every war, plays checkers
with royalty, breaks the bank of Monte
Carlo, dares everything and tries every
thing within range of human efforts, and
finally from the uttermost ends of the
earth, finds his way unerringly back to
Kansas.
Around the FIRE an evening group draw
And tell of all he felt and all he saw
But the latest Kansas man to attract
the attention of wondering world has
staked out his claim further up on the
steep hillside of fame than any of his
fellow citizens of his own or any other
state. Yesterday he arrived in WASH

The Planet Mars.

Professor Lockyer is Of the opinion
that human life on the planet Mars may
be very much like human life on the
earth; the light cannot be so bright, but
the organs Of sight may be 50 much
more susceptible as to make the vision
quite as good. The heat is probably
less, as the polar SHOWS certainly extend
further, but by no means less in proper
ton 10 the lessened power Of the solar
rays. The professor agrees with others,
that several remarkable seas-including
inland seas, some of them connected and
some not connected by straits with still
larger seas-are now defnable in the
southern hemisphere, in which, as is the
case also with the earth, water seems 70
be much more widely spread than in the
northern hemisphere. There is, for ex-
ample, a southern sea exceedingly like
the Baltic in shape and there is another
and still more remarkable sea, now de-
fined by the observations Of many as
trononers--one near the equator, a long
struggling arm, twisting almost in the
shape Of an S laid on its back, from east
TO west, at least LOCO miles In length
and 400 IN breadth.
