lMPORTAN NOE OF BIRDS.

A paper was recently read before
the Biological Society of Washington,
the subject of which was the food of
birds. So much has been said about
birds as being destructive to fruit and
vegetation that an investiga ton of
this kind is of the utmost Importance.
In the stomachs of some of the birds
there were thousands of ants. Over
six hundred stomachs were examin ed
and in almost all of them insects
formed the greater part of the con-
tents. Ants especially seemed to be
popular, and in almost every instance
the other insects were of harmful
sorts. In one of the reports of the
Agricultural Department 1t is said
each bird has it's favorite foods; out,
when these fail, it casts about to find
something that can be substituted.
Another peculiar fact discovered in
birdology, and the appetite of our
winged friends for ants, is that these
industrious little insects plant colo
MES of mealy bugs on certain varie-
ties of the coffee tree. These bugs
are cultivated by the ants for food;
and, as they flourish and increase
rapidly, they furnish abundance of
subsistence, and the ants thrive cor
respondingly. 1t is suggested by a
number of scientists that the wood
pecker should be encouraged and
protected in every possible way, as
many circumstances seem to indicate
that he would be the best assistant in
getting rid of the grubs that are des-
troying the elm trees all over the
country. York Ledger.

is MARS INHIBITED 2


made during the last year which
seems opposed to the otherwise
strongly supported hypothesis of a
close resemblance between Mars and
the earth. 1t relates to Mars's at
mosphere. The great English spec
troscopist, Higgins, the famous Ital-
ian astronomer Secchi, and more re-
Gently the indefatigable German OBJ
server Vogel, have all put on
record their belief, based upon studies
of the spectrum of Mars, that that
planet possesses an atmosphere re-
sembling the earth's, and containing
the important element aqueous vapor.
Vogel, indeed, went SO far as to say,
about ten years ago, that cit is def
nitely setteled that Mars has an at
mosphere whose composition does
not differ appreciably from ours, and
especially the Marian atmosphere
must be rich in aqueous vapor."
More recent observations have ap-
peared to confirm those of Vogel.
But now comes Professor Campbell,
of the Lick Observatory, employing
some Of the most powerful and per-
feet spectroscopic apparatus in ex-
istence, and shows that, so far as the
spectroscope is able to inform US,
there is no evidence whatever of the
existence of a Marian atmosphere
containing watery vapor, or that
Mars has any atmosphere at all His
observations, made in June, July, and
August Of 1894, show that the sun
light reflected to us from the surface
of Mars undergoes no preceptible
absorption such as would arise from
the existence of an atmosphere sur
rounding the planet, and that the
lines on Mars's spectrum which other
observers had ascribed to the absorp-
tive effects of it's atmosphere are
really due to absorption by the at
mosphere of the earth.
Professor Campbell's observations
do not entirely dispose Of the sup
posed atmosphere of Mars. They
simply indicate, as he has himself
pointed out, superior limit to the
extent of such an atmosphere. He
thinks that if Mars had an atmos-
phere one fourth as extensive as the
earth's, he would have detected it's
existence. Against the conclusion
that Mars has no atmosphere and no
aqueous vapor stands the unquestion-
ed existence of the white polar caps
of the planet, waxing and waning
with the seasons. AS to this, Prof.
Campbell says: "While believe that
the polar caps on Mars are conclusive
evidence of an atmosphere and aque-
GUS vapor, I do not consider that
they exist in sufficient quantity to be
detected by the spectroscope.'
In other words, Mars does not poss-
ess an extensive atmosphere, but it
may have one about one quarter as
extensive as ours. Does such fact
preclude the supposition that Mars is
a habitable world? Hardly: for al
though we should die like fish thrown
out of water if three fourths of the
atmosphere were suddenly withdrawn
from the earth, yet it is plain that
beings resembling ourselves and our
contemporaries in the animal king
dom would require comparatively
slight changes of structure to enable
them to live in an atmosphere no
more extensive than that which the
spectroscope yet allows to the planet

That tired feeling is common complaint
and it is dangerous symptom. 1t means that
the system is debilitated because of impure

liable to attacks of disease. Hoods Sarsapa-

also for that weakness which prevails at the

succeed the reuature citation of Captain
General Calleia over the supposed capture
of jose Maceo. Maceo's double was cap.
turcd, but not Maceo. Anticipating un.
usual efforts to capture him, the willy
Cuban general donned a disguise and
went to the front in command. Colonel
Guerra was the one captured, while Maceo
escaped to the mountains with a few OF
his followers. 1t is expected, however,
that he will be captured, as many small
parties are in pursuit of him.
Crombet was surely killed and impo-.
tant papers were found on his body. Loyal
Spaniards say the war has ended. Maxine
Gomez, who has been in Hayti enlisting
recruits, landed near Santiago with CO..
men. He has gone to the mountains and
will attempt to join Maceo. If he sue
ceeds in doing so it is probable that their
united forces will give the Spaniards one
more battle. Everything seems to indi'
cate, however, that defeat is staring the
revolutionists in the face, and nothing
but n miracle will now save Cuba from
the continued domination of Spain.
