PERC1vAL LOWELL after study.
ing the planet Mars through a
telescope erected in Arizona has
come to the conclusion that the
people of this mundane sphereoid
are not the only highly developed
beings that are swinging about in
space. He believes that Mars is
populated, but not necessarily by
men. In the development of this
idea he gives expression to the fol-
lowing sentiment: ITO talk of
Marian beings is not to mean
Marian men. Just as the proba-
bilities point to the one, SO do they
point away from the other. Even
on this earth man is of the nature
of an accident. He is the sur
vival of by no means the highest
physical organism. He is not even
a high form of mammal. Mind
has been his shaking. For aught
we can see, some lizard or
batrachian might just as well have
into his place early in the
race, and been now the dominant
creature of this earth. Amid the
surroundings that exist ON Mars,
surroundings so different from our
own, we may be practically sure
other organisms have been evolved
of which we have no cognizance.
What manner of beings they may |
be we lack the data even to con-
,eive." If the scientists of the
future are to establish communiea-
ion between the people OF this
'arth and highly-developed race

ion of our present population will

case against the United States
holds that this concession was
granted the American company for
the obvious purpose of embroiling
the United States in the dispute.
Whatever may have been the in
tentions of the Venezuelan Govern
ment, the fact that Americans have
commercial interests within the
disputed territory by no means
lessons the danger of serious
complications arising in the settle
ment OF the boundary line. 1t GER
tainly makes it clear that there is
more than one wire that is being
worked to draw out Uncle Sans
firm assertion Of friendship for the
South American Republics. The
Monroe doctrine of commerce may
be found to be at the bottom OF the
whole affair, and if such is the case
the tendency of the United States
to make concessions in marking the
boundary line will not be increased.
The large undeveloped areas of
South America have attracted not |
a little American capital, and al
ready there is sharp competition
for the Southern trade, which, very
likely, is a reason for the disincli-
nation of the European powers to
recognize the Monroe doctrine as
set forth by President Cleveland.

A DANIsH-AMERIcAN, who has

an innocent individual, but we see
no reason why the Republic of

be turned toward the sadly mis-

in this respect, Honolulu has shown

A SHANHAI paper has soundly
taken Great Britain to task for
having followed policy of moder-
alton in advances made in the
Chinese Empire. 1t is argued that
Great Britain long ago had the
opportunity to occupy the best
ports along the Chinese coast, but
by waiting for another to move, is
now obliged to stand by and watch
the other powers snatch up plums
that were once well within its
grasp. Little or no credit is given
Japan for bringing about the dis
memberment of the Empire. The
writer maintains that sit may be
for the good of humanity that the
of China has already be-
gun, but most of US regret that it
has been indiscreetly FASTENED by
the conduct of Japan; who, be it
remembered, was the first to initiate
the process. 1t is, perhaps, only in

ALTHOUGH the negroes of the
Southern States have been put
down as an irresponsible and shift
less set, the recent reports of their
acquisition of property show that
there are good number of the

the statement was made in a public

the negroes in the thirteen Southern
States, including Missouri and leav-
ing out Maryland and Delaware,

Whose evil eyes survey
The truth begrudging; n
Who gloat at scandals bray
And ISLANDERS that "they say

the leading New York papers.
Among those present were Miss

The reception committee was
composed of Mrs. w. F. Allen,
Mrs. McGrew and Mrs. Day.
The hall was decorated with
palms and other plants set around
the room. On the walls were hung |
representative works of art |
done by members of the league. |
The makai wall opposite the stage |
was devoted to oil paintings, |
among which number were some of
the works of d. Howard Hitchcock.
The painting of a head from
plaster cast, the work of Miss Grace
Robertson, was a very much adj
mired piece. Mr.. Hilliard remark
ed that the artist who could do
such work, promised well for the
uture.
The Eva wall was devoted to a
display of water colors, while the
opposite side gave place to wood
awnings and other works of art.
The first part of the evening was
pent in discussion of the pictures

elating to art. Mr.. Hilliard in
crested the many present by in
tructive little remarks on art and
objects directly related thereto.
Just at the proper time a short
1usical program was announced.

which was followed by beautiful

Miss Greene, which concluded

GUS occupations because they viii
work for less wages has been mad,
a subject of investigation by tn,
Massachusetts, Bureau of Statistics
of Labor. In sending out theil
queries the Massachusetts, stats.
ticians have confined themselves to
women who have had the benefits
OF college training. An endeavor
was also made to ascertain the
cause of the women being paid
lower salaries, if such was the case.
To large number of circulars
sent out, answers were secured from
451 female employees and 104 en-
ployers. Of the 437 women gradu-
ates who replied to the question
regarding conjugal conditions, it
appears that 3S7 were single, %
married and 20 widowed. Regard
ing the occupations, 1863 were
teachers, AZ Librarians or connected
with libraries, % stenographers,
% nurses, 10 journalists and the
remainder were distributed among
multitude of vocations. AS usual,
the women were delicate about tell
ing their ages, but the majority
were between the ages of 20 and 25
years. More than half of those
replying stated they had some re-
employment besides
their main work, and about one
fourth stated that they had outside
domestic cares to distract them.
Seventy-seven per cent. admitted |
that their salaries were quite suf-
ficient for the support; in 43 cases
they were inadequate and So per-
sons gave no information on this
point.
When it came to the amount of
money received, the income of the
certainly compares favor
bly, with the men. Only six re-
eived less than $25 month, the
arger proportion received between
$50 and $75 per month, while
ew salaries went as high as $500
'er month. Fully Is per cent. adj
nitted that they were receiving
ess pay than men engaged in the
anne occupations.
Another claim made against the
women is that they have no
antilles to support and consequent
y do not require as high salaries.
IN this point the statistician shows

Strengthened out for the issuing of bonds

attention of the city fathers has been di-
rected toward the misdoings of bees.
San Leandro is in the midst of the great
flower and fruit gardens of Alameda
County, and the many delicate blooms
are the proving grounds of thousands of
stray bees. The recent increase in the
number of bee-keepers is alarming, and
formal complaints have been lodged with
the Trustees about the damage caused by
bees when sucking honey from their berry
grounds.
Trustee Eber brought the matter up at
the last meeting of the Trustees, and it
was taken under advisement. A struggle
is now being made with an ordinance that
shall restrain the bees from being guilty of
vagrancy.
The roaming tendency of bees being so
we'll known the Town Attorney is expert
encing considerable difficulty in framing
rules that the bees can be made to respect.
The suggestion that any one who finds
stray bees on his premises shall be at lib
erty to destroy them is not likely to be
acted upon as the task of chasing bees is
not regarded with favor.
