Flagstaff in 1894 in the matter of their
development. What was anticipated
and what came to pass just as antic
ipated was the curious doubling of the
canals. At first a canal will appear
appearance through the earlier part of
the Marian season. Then it gradually
proceeds to twin that is to say, in
place of one canal it shows two canals
absolutely parallel and of the same
width throughout their length. They
have the same association that we see
in the twin rails of a railroad track.
In 1894 at Flagstaff the beginnings of
this curious termination were observed
much and chronicled, but this year in
Mexico the Marian season was much
further advanced, and the doubles came
out in great quantity. Some appeared
in a way to show that they were in
way connected with melting al the
south pole, while others were connected
with the north pole. They are from
thirty-five to forty miles wide.
The spots seen where the canals cross
came out again in this years observa-
tions just as in 1894. These so-called
GASES are very curious markings.
They occur only at the junction of the
different canals, and, if the telescope
power is strong enough, appear always
at these functions. AS they show the
same characteristics Of the canals, they
are, probably, like them, vegetation.
They are about one hundred and fifty
miles across.
What such tracts Of vegetation en-
close we do not know. They may be
centers of population. This is the most
probable superstition, for it is to them
that the canals run.
These GASES double just as the canals
do. We see then that during the last
set of observations at the Lowell OBJ
servatory the previous theory put forth
about Mars has been confirmed, while
great deal has been added to it in de-
tail-the fine prints, as We may say,
of the subject.
To Professor William H. Pickering is
due the credit of having first consid-
cred the dark areas to be vegetation
and not water; and to A. E. Douglass

same face to the sun, and therefore

same face to the sun, and therefore
has no day.
The fact that the markings traversed
the disk in straight lines in their APP
parent apparent journey with the
termination shows that the axis of rota-
ton is practically perpendicular to the
plane of the orbit. This means that
Venus has no season.
1t was further found that the mark
ings We're always visible with unvary-
ing clearness. In other words, Venus
has no clouds.
Further, the intense luster of the disk
is extended alike to all the markings.
1t seems as if a bright, straw colored
veil We're drawn over the planet, max
ing it's bright parts brighter and it's
dark parts less dark. This veil, in
Mr.. Lowell's opinion, is unquestionably
atmosphere.
HALF HEMISPHERE OF ICE.
There is a notable absence of color
in Venus, especially when it is COM
pared with the beautiful tints of Mars
This means much more than the lack
of beauty. 1t signifies first, the alb
sence of water, and, second, the absence
can be no life on the sun-burned side
of Venus. The appearance is that of
a vast desert, and this agrees with
what her amending day taught us to ex-
pect.
But how about the other side the
side which is perpetually in the shadow,
and SO forever invisible to every eye
in the universe? That portion is be-
lieved to be a mass of glittering ice
The exposure of one side to the full
blaze of the sun would. Mr.. Lowell be-
lieveS, create a funnel-like indraught
from the dark side to the bright, and
then an umbrella-like returning current
would result in the depositing of al
most all the water on the unillumined
side, where, in the form of ice, it
would remain.
The data upon which these conclu-
sionS are based We're fully verified by
this years observations in Mexico. 1t
is believed that these markings and
the conclusions based upon them will
stand as among the most valuable re-
cent contributions to astronomical sci

Peculiar Form of Insurance.

The most unique of the many forms
insurance takes is that of insuring
keys. The man who insures his keys
pays 81 a year, and is furnished with
a label for his key ring. This label
requests the finder to turn over the
keys to the police and claim 81 reward.
They are then returned to the owner
wherever he may be, free of charge. In
case the keys are lost beyond recovery,
the bill of the locksmith who replaces
them is paid up to the sum of $40

QUARRELING ABOUT THE TARIFF.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming Finds Fault
With Senator Chambers Comments.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Commenting
to-day upon Senator Chandler's statement
Of yesterday in regard to the possible fall
ure of the tariff bill because of too high
rates. Senator Warren. of Wyoming, said:
II do not consider it entirely fair and
certainly not judicious to impute at this
time to western Senators a disposition TO
he extreme in their tariff views. or to
insinuate that the tariff bill will fail be-
cause Of radical demands for western in
terests. Such n presumption would be
premature and tend to demoralize rather
than intimdate as perhaps intended.
"The tariff bill will fail. as it ought 10
fail. if 1t is sectional and partial, and
does not equitably recognize agricultural,
mining and lumber interests as well as
others Eastern interests are always well
represented at the capital by competent
experts in all eastern economic lines. On
the other hand the agricultural and wes-
tern interests are not thus represented,
but feeling that they are entitled to con-
sideration, they appeal to their represen-
tatives in Congress, and thus western Sem
ators have greater responsibilities and
more to do than eastern Senators In con-
tending for n just scale of import duties.
But their activity must not be taken as
hostility.
'If it be decided that one section Of the
country must take buzzard, while another
demands turkey in order to reform the
tariff then reformation had better be de-
Iayed. regretable as such a result would
be and to none more regretable than to
western Senator's"

Williamson, w. Va, April S.-Half-
past eight o'clock saw the jury in the
box this morning ready to hear the evil
dence in the famous Hatfield murder
case. :
The State went on with its evidence,
and while it proved some damaging col
lateral facts, in SO far as the killing
itself was concerned, it to some extent,
failed to make as strong a case against
the prisoner as was expected.
While two or three witnesses were
positive that Hatfield fired the first shot,
using a double-barrelled shotgun, the
preponderance of evidence, as adduced
by the State, in cross-examination, has
it that Rutherford fired first.
The opposing counsel got into a
wrangle during the forenoon, and for
time 1t looked as if Col. Fitch and ]. S.
Marcum would get into a scrap, but
happily, their better judgment prevailed
and good feeling was restored.
The State introduced its last witness
and rested the case about three o'clock.
In the opinion Of those who should
know, the case made by the State, even
without any evidence for the defense,
will not warrant the finding Of ver-
dict Of guilty of first degree murder.
The examination of witnesses for de-
fense began at $3.50 and from his man
ner of conducting the defense it is evil
dent that Col. Fitch and his colleagues
care but little for the incriminating col
lateral evidence of the State, but seek
to prove that Hatfield was justified in
killing Rutherford because Rutherford
was the aggressor and fired the first
shot.
Fully half dozen eye-witnesses to
the occurrence swear positively that af-
ter talking a while with Rutherford,
Hatfield. with the remark that he want
ed no trouble, walked away few steps,
picked up his shotgun, turned, and with
the gun in his hand, muzzle down,
walked three or four steps toward
Rutherford, who, with the exclamation:
Look here. Capt. Hatfield" pulled a
pistol from his pocket and fired on Hat
field. Hatfield returned the fire, dis
charging both barrels of the gun at
once. A fusilade then began, and was
kept up until Rutherford fell, when Hat
field. who was being fired upon by ELL
OFT Rutherford and Reese Halsey, fed.
The defense will continue its evidence
tomorrow. and it is thought Hatfield
himself will be placed on the stand be-
fore noon.

Millwood, w. Va, April Swans
a small town eight miles from here, on
the Ripley & Mill Greek Valley road,
is all torn up over the disappearance of
j. NJ. Parsons, who kept a general mer-
chandise store there. He left last Fri
day. ostensibly for Parkersburg, but
nothing has been heard from him since,
and his creditors and indOrsers, whose
number is legion, are levying on every
thing in sight. Several things that
have come to light in the past two or
three days indicate that his fight was
premeditated. On Thursday before
leaving home he gave deed of trust
for 81. 800 to his father-in-law, VIM.
Davis. and disposed of everything that
he could without arousing suspicion.
Beside this he collected some five or six
thousand dollars on ties and lumber,
which form no part of his assets Lo-
cal creditors have secured themselves
for nearly the entire amount of their
claims. but the assets will not cover the
liabilities by about eight or ten thou
sand dollars. He caught one indorser
for about $500.
Parsons was always considered
model business man and had the entire
confidence of every one until recently.
