ton. They are dead and dry like our
own single moon, and strange to say
they swing about the planet in different
directions. They are as different from
Mars as our moon indifferent from the
earth. If Mars had no atmosphere and
was existing under physical conditions,
which would make animal and vegeta-
BILE life there impossible, then Mars and
Its two moons would be of the same
nature. But Mars is like the earth and
its moons are like our moon. Mars is
warm in color and warm in fact, with
q rich red soil capable Of producing
much and sustaining a vigorous animal
life. It throws of heat Of its own, un-
like its moons, which are white and
ghostly and dead. Given heat and life
must result. This is an axiom of
science. Given certain conditions Of

From Australia come reports Of re-
cent observations showing what look
ed like hieroglyphics on the south polar
cap. These closely resemble the shift
ing black marks observed by Prof. Bar
nard at the Lick Observatory, and are
apparently part Of the same signal sys-
tenn.
Mars has been especially observed
during the past few months by Prof.
Maunder, Of the Greenwich Observa-
tory in England. He fatty contradiets
the assertion that the red planet has
little, If any atmosphere. Prof, Maun-
der says in recent article in the West
minister Budget: 'srhe spectrum gives
evidence Of watery vapor." He also
finds water, snow and ice on Mars,
which could not exist without an at
mosphere.

Corn 255 bushels in an Acre.

The largest crop OF corn ever pro-
duced on one acre. according to the
Charleston News and Courier, was that
raised by farmer in Marlboro, County,
South Carolina, in 1892. A prize Of
$1,OO was offered for the largest yield
on an acre, and this farmer chose a
piece of wornout piney woods, sandy
land, to which he applied more than Il
thousand dollars worth of fertilizers.
The season was favorable and the cul-
tivator was kept going almost con-
stantly: The stand became 50 thick
and heavily burdened with ears that
fences had to be built to sustain it.
When the crop was gathered it meas
ured within peck of 255 bushels. and
carried off the prize, which the farmer
richly deserved, for it takes a valiant
man to spend more than q tho,ss;, al
dollars to enrich a single acre.

deed some very strange animals on
Mars No animal, however, could be
big enough to be seen at such dis
tance,feven in the Lick telescope, which
has not yet shown anything smaller
than canals and other artificial water
ways.
What were these mysterious marks :?
Signals, says Flammarion, tha noted
French astronomer and scientist, who
proceeds to point what a perfect
signal board is thus arranged. BY
some mechanism the black semaphores
are rapidly passed to and fro over the
white fields Of snow in an apparent
effort to attract the attention Of the
inhabitants Of the earth. A perfect
alphabetical system Of signaling could
thus be developed apd messages sent
to and fro from one planet to the other.
Coincident with these marks was the
discovery Of the fountain of Youth, -
as it was called by one astronomer.
This was a big pyramid, apparently Of
human origin, and possibly made for
signal purposes, a sort Of tower from
which lights could be thrown and
where astronomical instruments could
be mounted for the inspection Of the
earth and the observation Of our daily
lives and movements.
It will be observed that, a people
capable Of building the elaborate sys-

So thorough is the young woman's
knowledge of handling ship and Of
the reefs, shoals currents and air cur
rents Of San Diego harbor that the old
pilots who have instructed her in this
difficult work seldom have word to
say in criticism Of her management, and
for six months it has not been neces-
sary to change one of her orders when
bringing a ship into port. She will
be examined by the state board OF pilot
commissioners in a few months and
confidently expects to pass. The fees
for bringing a vessel into San Diego
are $5 per foot on the draught of the
vessel and 4 cents per ton. A 3,00O-ton
vessel drawing twenty feet of wates
would net 1920.

Unpretending.

Humphrey Nichols was an English
parish clerk who lived parsimiously and
gave away enormous sums of money,
both to institutions and individuals.
One afternoon he presented himself at
the door of a certain rectory, just as the
master of the house was going down to
dinner, with his guests. The footman
would not admit the shabby old gentle
man within the lobby, and was about
telling him to go round to the back door
when the rector caught sight Of him,
and asked his business.
It was soon told; he had come to
give "a trife Of money! to the fund
for widows and orphans. When he
had accepted an invitation to the study,
shabby old pocket book was produced,
and a banknote very dirty one. laid
on the table. The rector took it up
thinking it five-pound note.
'sHave you looked at it," asked Mr.
Nichols.
yes" said the rector.
"Look again"
The rector could hardly believe his
eyes. The note was for five hundred
pounds
perhaps I'm keeping those fine folks
waiting for their dinner" said the old
gentleman. But if you're not tired Of
counting. I'm not tired Of giving."*
He ended by putting down seven
thousand pounds
''Tel that fine gentleman of yours,
he said, in sly reference to the footman
ito be civil to an old man, even If he
should happen to wear shabby coat"
The rector asked him to stay for din
ner.
''Dinner"' said he, "why I ate my
mutton chop before started from Man
chester. What would your lords and
ladies say, to sit beside shabby old
fellow like me?"
