ASTRONOMY.
Canals of Mars Spell The He
brew Word "God."


An astronomer now asserts
that the canals OF Mars are laid
font SO as to trace upon the face
of the planet the Hebrew word
sformGod." This he claims is
fevidence that our planetary
neighbor is inhabited by intelli-
gent beings who have been en-
deavoring to communicate with
the earth. Some years ago three
fgreat lights were observed on the
planet, forming the triangle. A
great many observers held that
they were made as a signal to
The Inhabitants Of this sphere,
land among those holding to that
belief the allege new discovery
will be of much interest. A
sceptical world, however, will
want to know how the canal
builders of Mars got hold OF the
langr age Of the Hebrews. II
may be held that it was diyinely
Communicated to them, in which
event sceptics will have to con
tent themselves with declaring
that they do not believe it.
But, whatever the merit of any
of these theories may be, the
subject presents many interest
ing possibilities. If Mars is ir-
habited by intelligent beings nc
one can say what the measure of
their development may be. The
hebular hypothesis makes the
earth a much younger member
of the solar system than Mars
Our red neighhor in space may
have been populated long before
millions of years before this
planet was fit for human hahi.
tation. We have few thons'
and years of history; the people
Of Mars may have an intelligen'
record running back through {
period many thousand times al
long. In a hundred year
we have witnes sed develop
ments of the human race tha
have been astounding; and il
the light of our record no on
will lie yilli1 2 to say what
million years Of progress ma.
not have accomplished in anothe
planet.
If our greatgrandfathers ha'
been told that in a few years tn
world would be girdled by rail
roads and telegraphs, lighted b,
electricity and talked to over tn
telephone they would hav
pronounced it impossible. Blu
if we have done so much in tw
generations, what may nc
F, neighbors in the heavens hav
accomplished as a result of tn
work OF ten thousand generation
Of highly developed genius
Who knows that the people VIII
live on Mars, if there are such
have not devised instruments b
means of which they can watc
the worlds life in detail? VIII
knows that there are not telt
scopes pointed at us from th
heavens through which th
watchers observe our Gaily mov'
ments, and in one grand swee
take in all the plan of OF
national life as well as the d
tails of the individual careers
our citizens?
Nothing can be put down
impossible, and if we grant tn
those who live on our sist
planet may have been watchir
us sow and reap during all the
generations of our history, VIII
would be more natural than tn
they should be exausting eve
resource of their superior sta
of development to attract o
attention and enter into col
munication with us? Eek,

welIinaton's Funeral,

In the funeral procession OF the Duke
of Wellington ~ horses drew the car.
These were covered from eyes to fetlocks
in housings of black velvet, with black
ostrich plumes upon their heads. The
dukes funeral was modelled upon the
precedent OF that of John Monk, first
duke of Albemarle, the only change in
the trappings of the horses being that
the animals were only plumed on the
head, instead Of carrying a second plume
on the crupper, which, as the tail was
hidden by the velvet clothing, had rath-
or ludicrous appearance. But i'll the
funeral of the Duke of Albemarle led
horses formed an important part OF the
procession.
"Mourning horses" as they were
called, draped IN black cloth and plum
ed, were distributed at intervals in the
cortege. The "chief mourning horse
followed the standard Of England. The
funeral car was also followed by a cream
colored ''horse Of honor, with crimson
comparisons. In the Duke Of Yelling.
toms funeral procession the only leo
horse was his charger, not Copenhagen,
but the animal which he was III the habit
of riding in his last years. Yet the rider

bier, awakened the emotions of the gaz
ing thousands with an appeal more po
tent and direct than that of all tho &C

A Ridiculous Order.

The chief of police in Manchester,
N. H., has recently issued an order
forbidding any police officer to furnish
information to reporters on pain of sus-
pension. According to the Manchester
Union, the situation is not without its
humors
A book agent had just arrived in
Manchester. AS he walked up from the
station he. inquired of an Elm street
officer, "Can you tell me the way to
Hanover street,"
The officer regarded him suspicious
ly. ''Are you newspaper man?" he
asked
The stranger hesitated. II have
been," he stammered.
''Then l can tell you nothing" re-
piled the bluecoat, edging away. 1.-THE

The full significance Of s1egestibility
is apparent when we remember that
teaching, preaching, acting, public
speaking and pleading are ferns Of Sug-
gestion, says Professor Z. W. Scrip uro
Of Yale university. The freaks of Typ
notism are performed by suggestion
The faith cures and miraculous effects
of the grotto of Lourdes are benevolent
suggestions. The ceremonials Of our
churches are suggestions bringing us
into religious frame Of mind. The
manipulations Of the spiritualists and
the monotonous blaokness of funeral
are all forms of suggestion. How SHALL
we develop the children SO as to produce
in thet1 minds well balanced i'll respect
to suggestion? Is this not as important
a task as learning to do percentage OF
to parse sentence? Here is field
where the educator must dig for facts.

Tho Paths We Make.

A footpath Is the most human thing
in inanimate nature Even rs the print
Of his thumb reveals the old offender to
the detectives, so the path tells you the
sort Of feet that wore it. Like the hu.
man nature that crested it, it starts out
to go straight when strength and deter.
mination shape its course, and il goes
crooked when weakness lays it out. I'm.
til you begin to study them you can
have no notion Of the differences of
character that exist among footpaths.
One line of troddon earth seems to you
the same as another, But looki Is the
path yop are walking ON fairly straight
from point to point yet DETECTED to
avoid short rises and falls, and is it
worn to grado-that is, does it plow a
deep way through little humps rad hill.
locks. something as street is cut down
to grader If you see this path before
you, you may be sure it is made by the
heavy shuttle of workingmen's feet A
path that waivers from side to side, es-
peoially If the turns be from one bush
to another, and that is only light trail,
making ap even line of wear over the
inequalities Of the ground-that is q
path that children make. The path
made by the business man--the man
who is anxious to get to his work at one
end Of the day and anxious to get tc
his home at the other-is generally a
good piece of engineering. This type of
man makes more paths in this country
than he does in any other. He carries
his intelligence and his energy into ev-
cry act of life, and even in the half un-
conscious business Of making his own
private trail he generally manages to
find the line Of least resistance in get
ting from one point to another. From
