IS MARS iNHABlTEDi

Methods Employed by Modern Science to
 Find an Answer to This Question.
 A striking example of the march of modern science is demonstrated in the discussion which has been going the rounds of the learned over the question. Is Mars inhabited? Tho fact that such Q debate is in progress is not of particu- lar significance. Wandering Arabs of the desert have regarded the silent stars with thousands of such speculations from time immemorial, but learned doo- tors of theology, accustomed to dis course upon the standing room of 8 needles point for angels. have waxed choleric and indignantly eloquent in these disputations over the habitability of the planets.
 The moderns, however, refuse to at tempt to prove such matters by hair splitting logic of the schools. They simply construct machinery to bring the planets nearer to the vision. So far as Mars is concerned, through the tele- scope they see that at certain seasons an accumulation of color of one kind sur rounds the poles of the planet and runs down to the equator a certain distance. At some seasons these zones are larger than at others. Hence they conclude that Mars has seasons of some kind--possi- ply the color around the poles is snow and ice.
 The spectroscope reveals the presence of water on the planet. And each suc- ceeding year brings into possession of humanity some new facts. Knowledge of the planets is limited only by the machinery of the astronomer. And in this fact lies the difference between the spirit of the aneients and moderns --- Kansas City Times.

The Young Montcnegrin's Invention and
 What Is Claimed For It.

What Is Clalmeds TOT lt. q
 Tesla's latest invention, the "oscil- lator, /" is one of the most remarkable appliances of tho age. It is aptly de- scribed as being the core of a steam en- zine and the core of dynamo, combin- ed and given harmonious mechanical adjustment This combination consti- tntes machine which has in it the po- tentiality of reducing to the rank of old bell metal half the machinery at pres ent moving on the face of the globe. It may come to do the entire work of the engines of an ocean steamship within a small part of the space they now occupy and at fraction of their cost both of construction, and operation. It will do this work without jar or pounding and will reduce to minimum the risk of derangement or breakage There is nothing in the whole range of mechan- ioal construction from railway looomo tives to stamp mills, which such an in. yention may not revolutionize.
 The essential characteristic of the machine is the application of the pres sure of steam to produce an extremely rapid vibration of bar of steel or pis- ton, which in turn is so adapted to a set of magnets that the mechanical energy of the vibration is converted in to electricity The extraordinary result is that practically an absolutely con- stant vibration is established, and a power is attained greatly beyond that obtainable in the most costly expansion engines using a similar amount ofsteam Besides saving in mechanical friction

f MAT RiMONlAL OBEDIENCE.
Woman's Obligations to Obey Her Hus-
 band Before the Churches.

band Before tho Churches.
 ''New Woman" has been agitating this most important question of matri English paper. with speoial reference to the word ''obey" as it occurs in the marriage service in the Book of Com mon Prayer, both in the Anglican church and in that of the Episcopal church of this country. Why should a woman say "obey when she has not the slightest intention of obeying? That is the question It is a vow and oath which 99 women out of % who have the good fortune to find . husband have not the slightest intention of keeping. The curious feature in the discussion is the fact that the word sobeyo is pe- culiar to the Anglican order of the sol emnization of matrimony and does not occur in the marriage service of the Roman Catholic church.
 The promise of the woman in the Anglican church and in the Protestant Episcopal church of America runs thus:
 l, N, tako thee, M to be my welded hus- band to have and to hold from this day for ward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and iii health, to love, cher ish and obey till death us do part according to God s holy ordinance, and thereto give thee my troth.
 The form in the sacrament of matri- mony as it stands in the prayer book of the Church of Rome is as follows:
 I, M. take thee, N, for my welded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer for poorer, It, sx.h doo io arf If holy church will 1t permit. and thereto plight thee my troth
 It is therefore evident that the word "New Woman,' is not some remnant of medieval barbarism, but was intro duced into the Protestant church in an enlightened age, when Henry VIII, of matrimonial memory, was king.
 It seems a pity that ''New Woman" has raised this controversy, because there is surely no sane man in the world who would insist upon obedience as Q necessary part of wife's duties It is true that the Apostle Paul, in the good old times, did advise Titus, the bishop of Crete. to exhort 'the young women to be keepers at home, good. obedient to their own husbands. and that St. Peter. who was himself married man, did say something about "Ye wives, be i4 subjection to your husbands. " And it is probable that at the reformation, when people began to read their Bibles, the word 'obey" was introduced to the service of the Protestant Book of Con- mon Prayer as being somewhat Scrip tural view of the relations between man and wife. The nineteenth century. with its women's political leagues and di- vorce courts, has. however. got little beyond the antiquated views of St. Paul and St. Peter, and there is not man among us who would dare to support the views of even an inspired apostle when the question of the freedom and the authority of woman is raised
 We oan give expression to the desire of New Woman" not to obey. but 1t Is impossible to settle this question of wifely obedience. A country rector in a corner of Yorkshire once found it inn possible to get the bride to say obey. when the bsideeroons q son Of the soil who tQot praeticalv alview Of life. said:

vitality necessary to in- sure their health. The pneumogastric nerve. as shown here. may be said
 to be the most important of the entire nerve sys- tenn, as 1t supplies the heart, lungs. stomach. bowels. etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As wilt be seen by the cut the long nerve descending from t h @ base of the brain and terminating in the bow els is the pneumogastric, while the numerous lit- tie branches supply the heart, lungs and stom- ach with necessary vii tality. When the brain becomes in any way dis- ordered by irritability or exhaustion. the nerve force which it supplies is lessened. and the or gans receiving the di- unfinished supply are con-

rOh, never mind, sir, I'll make her say it when we get home. l"
 As matters now stand in this old dis pensation, when man usually pays his wife's bills and carries the baby, the po- sition of the husband would seem to be pretty we'll expressed in an old Scot tish song. which is frequently sung at New Years family gatherings by the merry, kindly, rubicund old uncle of the family to Interpretations delight--in the end--of all but the ladies, who, after dinner, never would admit the suprem- acy of man:
 Old Adam was laid i'll a slum-burr,
 And Q rib taken out of his side,
 And when he awoke from his slum-burr.
 He beheld his most beautiful bride.
 She was not taken out of his head-surr
 To rule and triumph over him,
 Nor was she taken out of his foot--surr,
 By him to be trampled on
 But she was taken out of his side--surr,
 His fellow and equal to be;
 But when they're united in one-surr,
 The man Is the top of the treei
 Another New Woman writes; Surely the words according to Gods holy ordinance, mean according to all that conscience permits and dictates The whole tenor of St. Pauls teaching must go to prove that he would neve, have wished a further obedience thah this, and yet this is what man is so slow to concede St. Paul rather echoes and chimes in with the dominant thought of all high minded men of today, of which Professor Ruskin, in his Sesame and Lilies, is the pioneer, that woman is to be reverenced as one of themselves; that hand in hand with man, she is called to forward the progression of the race "

in fine condition, with prospects of good
yield. While number of correspondents
report the presence of cinchbugs, none re-
port any damage to the wheat. Corn
planting is being pushed and a considera-
ble acreage has been planted. This work
has been retarded somewhat by the heavy
rains in some of the southern counties.
Some of the early planted is up and it is
good stand. In some sections the cut
worm is reported.
Oats IA Fair Condition Only.
Oats in some parts of the central and
southern counties are doing well, but the
reports generally indicate that the crop is
only in fair condition. In the northern
counties, however, it is reported generally
III good condition. The louise has made its
appearance i'll some fields in the vicinity
OF Believille, st. Clair county. Rye is still
in fine condition and in many localities is
beginning to head. Meadows and pastures
have made excellent growth during the
week, and are generally reported in fine
condition. There is but slight change in
the prospect for fruit: peaches will be a
failure, but apples, cherries and plums
promise much better than was antici-
pated. Worms are injuring trees in Bond
county. Strawberries are being shipped
from Alexander county. Locusts have
made their appearance III the vicinity of
