New Theory Of Mars Canals.
Astronomer Burnham Thinks That They
Have Been Misnamed.

While Sherburne Wesley Burnham,
Who is only one of Chicagos astron-
omers, but perhaps the most distin-
suished of them all, processes to have
no very definite and unalterable opin-
| ion as to whether the planet Mars has
artificial canals or not that can be seen
| from this earth, he yet does not hesl-
tate to say that Schiaparelli, who first
| thought he saw them, was unfortunate
In the name he gave them. A canal
on our earth is thing made by human
hands, and when canals are declared
| to be on Mars the idea is perforce car
ried that they. too. were constructed
| by beings that must have some re-
| semblance to man. This was not
Schiaparelli's idea, or if it ever once
| occurred to his mind he never insisted
on it. He did see on Mars lines that
suggested canals, and hence he named
them canals, but how they came to be
| there. what their use was, and all that,
he did not say nor pretend to know.
Mr.. Burnham, while deferring some
what to the opinion of other astron-
omers who have given more attention
to the subject than he has yet been
able to give it, inclines to the opinion
that if the name canal" had not been
applied to Schiaparelli's discovery OBJ
servers that followed him would have
been long time in coming to the con-
clusion that artificial canals are on
Mars that can be seen from this earth.
Mr.. Burnham admits that great in
| serest attaches to the subject, even in
The minds of skeptical astronomers,
and far greater interest has it for I'M
scientific people. There is so strong a
probability that some of the other
planets are inhabited by intelligent
and working beings, and SO taking is
the notion that mankind has race
cousin dwelling on Mars, that when
ever the possibility of this is suggest
ed, men and women of all degrees of
enlightenment eagerly hope that it all
may be true. In the United States,
!atterly, rather more of popular inter-
est is taken in the subject than in
Europe, by reason of the recent studies
and delightful writings of Mr.. Lowell
| He seems to require no further or bet
ter evidence than he has already dis
| covered that the Marian canals are
artificial. From his tower of tele-
scopic observation at Flagstaff, Ari.
he may yet discover further evidence
which will be sufficient to convince ev-
erybody.
| But there are other American writers
than Mr.. Lowell on the subject, and
the very latest is author Of "Astron.

1t is, therefore, but reasonable that he
be inquired of concerning celestial OBJ.
jects, including Mars. The other day
he was inquired of, the first question
put to him being: do you think the
canals upon Mars are artifcial?' An
swer: 1--WE don't know that there are
canals upon Mars The next ques-
ton was, What degree Of dissimilar-
ity to ourselves is it possible the in
habitants of Mars possess?" Answer:
eve don't know that there are inhab-
itants upon Mars" Thinking that he
should not be allowed to escape so, his
questioner followed him up with this:
well, if there are inhabitants upon
Mars, is it probable that they have,
built canals that can be seen from this
earth?" He got this for his pains:
MY dear sir, you recall to my mind
one Of Lord Dundreary's droll ques-
lions. Does your brother like cheese?'
T have no brother But if you had
brother would he like checse?' Moth.
ing,I repeat, is absolutely known about
Mars inhabitants. if it have any, nor.
about it's canals, if it have them -"

mountains and filling up valleys may
be seen active anywhere between west
crn Nebraska and the Pacific ocean,
Then he assumes that the continents
upon Mars resemble the flat country
of Holland, and asserts that the inhao-
itants have to protect their shores ny
dams similar to those built by inc
Dutch. They have, therefore, bullt
dams along their coasts, while at the
same time they have tried to lead the
sea water into the interior OF the con-
tinents by means of waterways anu
canals. Fortunately for the inhabl-
tants, after the dams are built the can
ais do not have to be dug, but let IN
the water and it will flow between the
dams up and down the continent. And
he explains the changed appearance
from time to time of the network or
canals by saying that when one OF the
larger canals has given up much water
to the lesser ones it feeds it must be-
come shallower and consequently
fainter in appearance, and as soon as
it gets more water from the sea it be-
comes darker and visible again.
Leo Bremen is man of science and
in good standing among the astrono-
mers, and hence his theory respecting
the Marian canals is attracting good
deal of attention. 1t is but theory,
of course, for nothing is absolutely
known concerning the supposed inhab-
itants and canals upon Mars, and it is
next to certain that nothing ever will
be known. Some are looking forward
to time when larger or more power
full telescopes will be made and point
ed at the heavens. At such a time,
many are thinking, we shall be able
to see important things on the planets
that are now invisible. But this Is
not at all certain to come to pass.
Mr.. Burnham is of the opinion that
the practical limit to the power Of tell
escapes has been attained. Not that
larger telescopes, with higher magni-
flying power, may not be constructed,
but that our atmosphere presents diff
ficulties that are increased proportion
ately to the increase of magnification.
Mr.. Burnham is not, it should be
said, specially interested in Mars, and
it might be better to consult Mr.. Low
ell or some other man that is devoted
to the subject. Chicago's most noted
astronomer is famous hunter Of dou-
BILE stars, and he has catalogued more
of these, by 100, than any other man.
He is hunting still, for he makes trip,
every other week, to the Yerkes tele-
scope at Geneva, and his looking is fire.
quently rewarded by some new find.

MAJ UT UIit1t0, o110 W 1V0 11E
Drawn from PhOto.)

omy" in the useful Stories Series
published by D. Appleton 8; Co. This
author accounts in a simple manner
for the canals on Mars. In his opin-
ion they were made in course of long
ages by water from the melting snow
and ice around the poles distributing
itself over the continents. That is his
guess. But in Germany is another
new guesser-Leo Brenner-who is out
with a most interesting theory which,
if true, accounts in quite human way
for the canals.
Leo Bremen feels certain that Mars
is inhabited by beings in some re-
spects resembling ourselves. He rec
ogniZes this resemblance in what he
calls the stupendous irrigation system
on Mars. The amount Of work ex-
pended on irrigation shows, in his
view, that the inha bitants are very dis
similar to ourselves, since human be-
ings would be incapable OF performing
such labor-or if not potentially inca
pable, conditions are such on this earth
that it would never need to be per-
formed, only in very limited sections.
He believes that the people OF Mars
live in perpetual fear Of water fam
inc, and that the network OF canals
wards off the danger. OF course, then,
he believes that the canals are artificial
and in his publication lately made on
the subject he attempts to explain
away some difficulties that have been
considered bv many as insurmOunt-
able He finds Il reason why the sup
posed inhabitants OF Mars should have
dug canals OF such extraordinary
BREADTH and why no mountain chains
hindcrcd the straight-!ined direction
Of almost all the canals. Mars he
says. must be many hundreds Of mil
lions years older than the earth. and
It Is also considerably smaller. so that

Kitty In n Mall Bag.

The officials of the Oakland postof-
flee were startled this morning to dis
cover u small kitten in a registered
mail pouch from San Francisco. Be-
sides the feline there were number
of heavy packages in the pouch. When
it was opened by the postolfice en-
ployes, who were attracted by u new
ing inside, the kitten jumped out in Il
playful manner, much TO the aMuse-
ment OF those present. 1t is believed
the kitten crawlcd into the pouch
while IL was in the San Francisco post
office. The pouch was thrown of the

SHARK CAUGHT
Off Morris Cove Wednesday Night.

Off Morris Cove Wednesday Night.
 There are doubtless many people in this city who are of the opinion that sharks are never seen in the local har- Dor and that they never come near enough to the shore to be seen or caught. Old residents, however, know to the contrary. A blue shark 2 feet long was caught Wednesday night at Morris Cove by Captain eBnse, an old sea captain. The captain had a fish net set about 150 feet from the shore, at point about one-quarter of a mile north of the Pequot house At low tide, when the captain visited his net he discovered the presence of the shark in the net. With the assistance of two other men the huge member of the finny tribe was brought close enough to the shore that he could be killed He was then dragged up on the shore and when measured was found to be seven feet long and weighed about 12O pounds. A rope was placed around the sharks body and he was fastened to a boat pole and it attracted much attention all day yesterday. Many of the bathers were somewhat scared by the shark, and did not venture so far from the shore as usual.
 Older residents will well remember how myriads of white fish were for a number of years caught in big seines in the waters near Tomlinson IEidge They were afterwards hauled out to the East Haven shore where the farm CTS carted them away and spread them over their arable land for fertilizer. These fish were many times driven up the harbor toward the nets by huge sharks. It was not an unusual thing for a shark to get caught in the net One day when there were many thou sands of fish in the nets five large sharks came so far up that they fell in- to the nets. They threshed around so

AT WATERRIRY.

Waterbury, Aug. 4.-One of the games that could only result as elimination of a great season of very fast baseball was played this afternoon between the Waterburys and the Wandering Hat ters' and it resulted in Waterbury's s defeat. Notwithstanding the people expected to see disconsolate and dis grunted team the Danburys made the fiercest fight for victory every put up on the local grounds and they finally won out-5-4.
 It was a pitchers battle only in cer- tain portions and at others it was char acterized by frequent hitting, especial ly by the visitors, which was sharp and effective. Waterbury scored two runs in the first inning and up to the seventh inning managed to shut out Danbury Tn the seventh inning, however, timely hitting gave the visitors three runs, but in Waterbury's half this lead of one was cut down and the home team went them one better.

DERBY CYCLE PATH.

Bids Called for Yesterday and They
 Will be Opened Next Tuesday
 Last night the committee in charge of the Derby cycle path called for bids. D. c. Sanford will have charge of the engineering. All bids are to be sent to his office, where they will be opened next Tuesday, August g.
 The path Is intended to be the best thing of the kind yet built. It will be composed of crushed stone with top dressing of stone dust so white that the path may be dscerned on the dark est night. It will be six miles long and four feet wide, a great deal wider than the Meriden path, and capable of per hitting cyclists to pass each other without danger. It will be built in such fashion as not to encroach on the sidewalks and so that teams will not be able to spoil 1t.
 It is expected that the town of Or ange will macadamize the road leading from the bridge at the end of Derby avenue to the piece of road already macadamized. This will make the length of the path to be built much shorter and the cost somewhat less.
 Judge $. E. Baldwin of the supreme court has opened the subscriptions among the legal fraternity for the Der by cycle path, giving Messrs. Kleiner and Pond s10. The judge is an enthu- siastic cyclist
