What Marco Polo Did,

Marco Polo was the first traveller to
trace u route across the whole length of
Asia, says one Of his biographers ''dc-
scribing kingdom after kingdom that he
had seen with his own eyes. " He was
the first traveller to explore the deserts
and the Towering plains of Persia, to
reveal China with its mighty rivers, its
swaming population and its huge
cities and rich manufactures; the first
to visit and bring back accounts of Tibet,
Laos, Burma, Siam, Cochin China,
Japan, the Indian archipelago Ceylon,
farther India and the Amdaman islands;
the first to give any distinct account of
the secluded Christian empire Of Abys-
slnia; the first to speak even vaguely of
Zanzibar, Madagascar and other regions
i'll the mysterious south and of Siberia
and the Arctic ocean i'll the terrible and
much dreaded north. Although centu-
rics have passed since young Marco Polo
grew to man S estate while treading his
dangerous way among these distant
lands, we must still look back to his
discoveries for much that we know about
those countries; for we have learned
nothing new of many of them since his
timc.-Noah Brooks in st. Nicholas.

WHERE NO CLOUD OBsCuREs.



most Always Fine.
Let us now remark that the Marian
meteorology is less complicated and
more pleasant than that of the earth.
There the weather is almost always
fine, especially during summer. Very
seldom are there clouds even in winter.
Generally when we are unable TO distin-
guish through the telescope the details
of the geographical configuration upon
the planet the fault is III our own at
mosphere and not in that of Mars. 1t is
very rarely the case that when our at
mosphcrlc conditions are good we are
unable to see these details. During the
last period Of observation Of. Mars in
1884, |, tospcall for myself, encountered
only 10 days (from Oct. 10 to 25) when
the surface Of the planet was yelled by
its own atmosphere. Clouds are excess
lively rare on the surface Of Mars, and
perhaps exist at all only as fogs or light
cirrus; they are not clouds of rain or
storm. These wells are very infrcquent
there, while they are perpetual upon the
earth. Probably there is not a single
day i'll the year when the entire surface
of the earth is uncovered so that it could
be satisfactorily observed from space.
The two planets have two meteorolog-
ical systems that are absolutely anti
thetical.
Furthermore, in the rarcfied atmos-
phere of Mars there can be no powerful
winds, like the trade winds and the pre-
dominant atmospheric currents which
rule terrestrial climates. Occasionally,
however observers have noted long
streaks of SNOW which appear to have
been produced by currents in tranquil
atmosphere. Schiaparelli for instance,
observed such streaks 'trainees'') in
November and December, 1881, around
the northern pole and extending con-
siderable distance from it. But such
things are exceptions. The normal con-
dition upon Mars is fine weather.-Ca

Review.

AN OPPRESSIVE RESPONSIBILITY.
Synp:,thies of the Blaine Household
Brought Respite 10 q Condemned Man.

Synp:,thies of the Blaine Household
Brought Respite 70 a Condemned Man.
General Harrison's paper on "This
| Country Of Ours" il Ladies' Home
Journal treats OF 'Thc Pardoning Pow
err and impeachment. OF the former
he cites an incident i'll showing the OPP
pressive responsibilities it places upon
the shoulders Of Il president. He says:
a Tcprieve is temporary suspen-
sion of the execution of sentence.
This power is often used for the pur-
pose of giving the president time to ex-
anime an application for pardon or
to enable the condemned to furnish fur
thor evidence i'll support of such an ap-
plication. II the summer of 1889 an
application for pardon in behalf of q
man condemned to death for murder
was presented to Inc, and after care
full examination the application was
denied. On the day before the day fixed
for the execution | arrived at Bar Har-
Dor on visit to Mr. Blaine, and found
that just before my arrival telegram
had come asking for repricve. The
message had been telephoned to Mr..
Blaine'S house and received by Mrs.
Blaine. Her sympathics and those of the
whole household were at once enlisted
for the poor fellow, and though the glib
bet was over twelve hundred miles away
the shadow Of it was over the house,
and l was the hangman. A telegram to
the United States marshal granting
short rcpricyc was sent, and the day Of
the execution was again my uncomfort-
able secret. 1t is not Il pleasant thing to
have the power of life and death.
mo gravor or more oppressive re-
sponsibility can be laid upon u public
officer. The power to pardon includes
the power to commute IL scntcuce-that
is, to reduce it. When the sentence is
death, the president may commute it to
imprisonment for life on for any fixed
term, and when the sentence is impris-
onment for life or for fixed term of
years he may reduce the term of i'm
prisonmcnt and if fine is imposed he
may reduce the amount on remit it. "

ON THE RUN.
Go1dbugS Believe Discretion
the Better Part of Va1Or.

The peoples party men Of the coun-
ty have been subjected to lots of abuse
from the gold papers and others be-
cause they were determined not to turn
their county convention into the tail
end OF a republican rally last We'd
nesday evening. By coincidence Or
purposely,. Congressman McCleary
was billed for Willmar for the eve
ming of the same day the peoples
party county convention was in ses-
sion. The populist committee had Sc
cured Prof. T. J. Cation, Of Minneapo-
lis to address their convention, and
set to work to try and arrange for a
joint discussion between the two speak
ers of the two parties. Both speakers
were tai ented men and we'll conversant
with the subjects Ia issue, and it was
suppos ed that members of all parties,
desirous of learning the truth, would
be pleased to be given an opportun-
ity to hear both sides presented. But
the republicans of Willmar could not
see it in that light. They had ar
ranged for a ''strictly republican,
rally and would under no considera-
ton entertain the idea of being forced
to listen to the other side part of the
time On the Saturday previous the
Bryan & Lind Club sent the challenge
to the Republican Club a reply was
received Monday declining to accept,
on the grounds that time was too short
to consult with McGIeary. The Bryan
& Lind Club then wired McCleary in
order that this loop-hole for escape
beclosed. The message sent read as
