SIGNALS FROM THE PLANET MARS.

few years ago. soon after Schiaparelli dis
covered certain narrow dark lines on the surface
Of Mars, which. for convenience. he named "ca-
nails" various theories were offered by imag
NATIVE people to account for those strange
markings. Herschel had remarked that the
rudy orb was more nearly In the condition OF
the earth than any OF the other bodies In our
Solar system; and Proctor and Flammarion had
gone so far al to give reasons for thinking 1t
barely possible that there were intelligent beings
on Mars. something like the earths nobest In
habitants. Hence several audacious guessers.
without much sanction from science. conceived
that the so-called canals were artificial and the
product OF skill which was essentially human.
While discussion this point was stIll rife.
about four years ago. small but Intensely
brilliant spot was seen for a few hours on
Mars; whereupon some offered the sensa-
tonal suggestion that maybe the light was in
tended as a signal 20 dwelers on our own globe.
Wel-informed astronomers knew that such
spots had been seen lefore and they Interpreted
the phenomenon as a reflection from snow

Director Holden. OF the Lick Observatory, has
repeatedly discouraged the hope that we are
soon to find evidence Of the existence OF human
beings on our ncighbor planet Besides. there
would remain several serious difficulties in the
way Of such communication as Is here referred
to. even II one were to concede that there really
Is somebody at the other end OF our interplan-
etary line.
One OF these embarrassments liz mentioned In
the current number Of THE Fortnightly Re-
View by Francis Cation. the eminent English
geographer and anthropoogist and the author
Of treatises on hereditary genius and the devel.
opment OF human faculties. In an article dis
cusslng the feasibility of exchanging "inteIi-
gible signals between neighboring stars' he
points out that In ell our attempts to talk with
savages mutes or the deaf and blind, progress
has depended on the response obtained. The
system involves a lot OF ventures some of which
succeed and some Of which fail. One detects
the difference only by observing the effect pro
cuced. But NC help can be obtained from this

Mr.. Harter was the author Of an ic-
novation in office seeking which created
sensation when it was first disclosed.
After President Cleveland was elected
he made out q list of every federal office
in his district and wrote opposite each
the name of the man he considered most
competent to fill it. He had a wide &C.
quaintance himself. having lived there
from boyhood, but when he was in doubt
consulted persons in the different locali-
ties in whose judgment he had conf
dence. Then. without saying anything
to any one, he fled a copy of this list
with President Cleveland and said:
"These are my nominations for all the
Offices in my district. If you desire to
appoint them, 1 shall be very much
pleased. If you desire to know my rea-
sons for selecting any particular man for
any particular place. shall be glad to
give them. If you think proper to ap.
point others, shall not be offended. /
submit these names as matter of duty
and shall not approach you ON the sub
ject again unless am sent for
At the same time the list was pub-
lished in the local papers with an an
nouncement that it would be useless for
any one to attempt to persuade Mr.. Har-
ter to recommend any persons but those
named.-Chicago Record.

following soliloquy:

me from being lonesome, but there is
one thing can congratulate myself up
on, and that is I'm a man without a

no lies to manufacture to appease an

things haven't got to do, and, last and

The Egyptians were conversant with
the art of landscape gardening. though
they had TO contend with the fiatness Of
the land. Water, however, as en- adjunct
was often called into play, for there was
the inexhaustible Nile. We have three
plans of their gardens, as the one found
in the tomb of Meryieat Tell ell Amazon,
which gives us the perfect idea of how
a ,srand garden was laid out. We have,
too, pictures Of Egyptians reclining on
chairs and fishing in these artificial
lakes. At Karnak there was one such
lake, but whether it was used for the
convenience of the priests. or served
for certain religious purposes we do moi
know. There is a good chance that

Tais Horse Can Count.

- @1e@OC OoA SVoooD
There is a grocer doing business not
Tar from the south end of Virginia ave-
nue. who has horse that is very regular
IN Its habits. He has learned that the
cell ii engine house No. 3 strikes IL
tlnes every day at noon, and when the
hour comes and the horse hears the bell
he turns lis ears forward and waits
for the boy who always feeds him at
that tire. The horse will look anxious
~ toward the store and wait few mo-
ments. If the boy does not soon make
his appearance. the horse gets tired of
waiting and slowly walks to the stable.
Every day as soon as the bell rings the
hrst time at noon people near by notice
that the horse becomes restless, ard,
while few moments before his head
was drocpire, ct the first stroke of the
bell his eyes opcn wide and he takes On
an air CT close attention.
One day the fremen concluded to try
mean trick Oh the horse to see how
much he really did know about the
number Of times the bell rang. They
pulled the rope that rings the bell II
times and then stepped. Immediately
the hcrse's eyes closed and his head
dropped into the same listless position it
had maintained fer some time. The boy
socn came out and got into the wagon.
He drove home and ate his own dinner,
but did not take the horse to the stable.
On his return he stopped and put the
horse in the stable and fed him. The
whole matter seemed to be a surprise to
the horse. and now the people in the
neighborhood firmly believe the horse
ran count. Journal
