She had been suffering from influenza

SIGNALING FROM MARS.
Possibility of Communications from
the Planet.


Any citizen who is tired of mundane
concerns, and wants to fix his mind on
something higher, is invited to consider
the allegation of Sir Francis Galton,
made in the London Fortnightly Re
view, that some one on Mars is signalling
to earth. The information seems not
as yet to be very gcnertlly confirmed
by astronomical observers, but Sir
Francis is quoted as authority for the
report that in one of the European OBJ
servatories an apparatus has been de-
Nised for recording the Martian iiashes,
and that the record shows that three
signals and no more are made, and that
they differ, us all fash-light signals do,
in the length of the flashes and OF the
intervals between, so that ii we had the
key they might read like tclegraphic
messages.
Of course this is not II yarn TO be swal-
lowed whole, but the association OF the
name of Sir Francis Galton with it is
enough to entitle it to consideration.
There seems to be no intrinsic impossi-
bilitv of our having relations with peo-
pie in Mars. 1t sounds preposterous, OF
course, but, like other marvels, 1t
seems preposterous chiefly because 1T is
unusual We have 10 nudge ourselves
from time to time in this age of swift
surprises, and remind ourselves that
nothing that is new to us can possibly
be more marvellous than many things
that have grown familiar.

A Cnrioun Commitment.

Recently the Encouragement of
Belgium, in the course of an eloquent
speech, paid the following curious COM
pliment to the soporific power of the
Belgian press: In the evening, when
sleep flies from our agitated cyrids
deaf to all our appeals, refractory to
our wishes, whcl immense assistance
we derive from the attentive reading
of some grave and deep leading article,
such as many a high-tOncd journal en-
riches its columns with. Under its
coothing influence a salutary rrpose
closes in upon US, and the enchanted
cup of the queen Of night pours down
upon us its treasures, in obedience to
the mysterious power Of the press"
