bic investment here are such that the
earning capacity OF his savings Is also

II has been pointed out frequently that
the great wealth OF France does not arise
from the superior natural advantages OF
that country, but from the all-pervading
spirit OF thrift and economy. which infiu-
ences every worker 20 save margin or
his earnings. and makes him In small
way a capitalist from the time his earn
ing capacity commences.
And yet. for some unexplained reason.
there Is nothing which the American es-
pecially in the West, more bitterly re-
sents than the proposition mat he should

work Is plentiful. reduce his standard
OF living. 10 the end that he may accumu-
late some money for the proverbial rainy
day. There seems 10 be an underlined. or
at least unexpressed. idea that his wages
are based somewhat on his standard OF
living. and that II he reduces his expen-
ditures his employers will take advantage

prone in good times to look upon even jul

There Is no doubt that the depression
with much of this feeling. An economy
which precept upon precept could not have
prevailed upon us TO put in practice, has
been enforced by the relentless pressure
OF want. Many have learned by an expe-

which they have always looked upon as
among the prime necessities OF existence
IN truth belonged to the category OF luxu-
ries. The relatively small sum on which
a family can be supported. either for food,
clothing or shelter, has been demonstrate
ed to many who never dreamed that they
learn the lesson.
These experiences, while painful at the
time, have borne good fruit. Lessons
of economy have been learned by all, and
will be practiced more generally in the
future by the resolute and thoughtful,
however quickly they may be brushed
aside with the first return OF prosperity
by the reckless and unthinking. Ii may
be safely predicted that for some years
to come there will be among all classes
a general practice Of living we'll within
their incomes and a general putting by of
small savings. which will have great
influence on the future Of every COM

will be as fashionable as 1t has always
been wise.

MIRACLES IN MARS.

Whether Mars is inhabited or not by
Intelligent life depends entirely upon
whether intelligent life can be sustained
without an atmosphere. Interest In the
plane; Is revived by a discovery made
by Peroival Lowell OF the Arizona OBJ
servatory. He claimed some time since
that his observations satisfied him there
was an annual vernal freshet. This year
conditions have favored him, and he Is
more nearly convinced than ever that
there is life on the planet. According to
his theory. the slow appearance of the
canals indicates clearly that the phenom-
enon is seasonal. and hence he belev es

parell.
In nearly every case the spots have been
circular, and have averaged about 100
miles IN diameter In most cases, too,
more than two canals intersect at a sim
gle oasis. III one were to draw lines at
haphazzard over the surface OF a globe"
remarks Mr.. Lowell, 'he would find that.
although crossings OF two lines would oc-
cur pientifully enough. crossings OF more
than two lines would occur practically
never" Mr.. Lowell saw no less than
nine canals or interesting canals center

THE CANAL SUBSIDY.

One more earnest effort is needed to
make up the balance OF the $4,000 sub
sidy Not only must the balance stili I'M
covered be made up. but certain amount
apparently represented by notes must be
supplied. The St. Louis capitalists who
have agreed TO furnish the money for the
canal expressed a willingness 10 accept
notes from responsible parties. The
method OF determining responsibility. Of
course, became a subject OF considers
ton. and the Seattle directors telegraphed
the st. Louis officials to send somebody
here for the purpose OF investigation. The
reply was made that the St Louis people
were willing TO entrust that task to a.
committee OF Seattle gentlemen 10 be Sc
lected by the company. That committee
was appointed and began the work OF ap-
praisement AS everything was left to
the honor OF the committee great care
has been exercised In appraising the
notes. that Is 10 say. in determining the
financial responsibility of the signers.
They have gone through nearly $4,000
and are much pleased with the result.
Nevertheless. the sum OF few thousand
dollars is represented by notes whose
signers are unknown to the committee.
or whose standing Is unknown. That
amount will. IN all fairness, have to be
made w.
Altogether the result is very satisfac-
tory. 1t shows that practically all who
signed the notes have done so cautiously
and with due regard TO their ability and
intention TO meet the notes when they be-
come due.
Time presses; the work must be begun
in May or new complications will arise.
1t is absolutely necessary that the Sub
sidy be completed within the coming
week, in order that other steps may fol-
low IN time TO comply with the conditions
OF the contract made with the state by
the waterway company.
The whole proposition in nutshell is
that unless the work is completed not a
dollar need be paid; and IL the canal Is
built within the time indicated the city OF
Seattle win have so greatly benefited that
few prudent men will not be amply able
10 meet the obligation when 1t natures.
