The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1898-12-29
A Wise

Persons who have spent time in the
waiting room of medical specialists,
must have remarked the general alb
sence of reading matter to while away
the time. In point of fact there is an
important reason for this. The most
careful physicians do not permit any
literature in their office, for fear of
contagion. One uptown doctor. who
leaves two or three daily papers lying
in his waiting room, to be taken out
each day, never allows a member of
his family to touch papers after they
have been in the office. 1t is wise to
give these instances of possible danger
from contact the widest publicity.
They should be a lesson to every one
toward c%ultivating the habit of touch
ing things as little as possible. 1t was
found not long ago that serious dis
eases were communicated through the
medium of a speaking tube used in a
mandatory by a number of persons.
The mouthpiece of a public telephone
is, when under proper care, frequent-
ly disinfected. The danger of the mo-
ment to the physical world is contact,
and the more complete the practice of
personal isolation can be made the
better for everybody.

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 Of
canals by saying that when n Of the
larger canals has given up much water
to the lesser m it feeds it must be-
come shallower and consequently
fainter in appearance, and as soon as
it gets o water from the sea it be-
comes darker and visible again.
Leo Bremen is a man of science and
in good standing among the astrono-
mers, and hence his theory respecting
the Marian canals is attracting a good
deal of attention. 1t is but a 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 a 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 tel
Escapes has been attained. Not that
larger telescopes, with higher magni-
Tying power, may not be constructed.
but that our atmosphere presents diff
ficulties that are increased proportion
ately to the increase of ma~gnification.
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 a famous hunter of dou-
BILE stars, and he has c%atalogued more
Of these. by 100, than any other man.

scope at Geneva, and his looking is fire.
quently rewarded by some new find.
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: eve 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:
1--WE 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

published by D. Appleton & Co. This
author accounts in a simple
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 a 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 inhabitants 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 a 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
Gway some difficulties that have beer
considered by many as insurnlount-
able. He finds a reason why the sup
posed inhabitants of Mars should have
dug canals of such extraordinary
breadth, and why no mountain chains
hindered the straight-lined 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
its surface must have become leveled
up in the course of ages, the debris
from the mountains gradually filing
up the valleys until the surface has be-
come a fiat plain, a state of things to
which our earth will ultimately at
tain. CThis process of wearing down
mountains and filling up valleys may
be seen active anywhere between west
ern Nebraska and the Pacific ocean,
Then he assumes that the continents
upon Mars resemble the fiat country
or Holland, and asserts that the inhab-
ltants have to protect their shores by
dams similar to those built by the
Dutch. They have, therefore, built
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 and
canals. Fortunately for the inhabi-
tants. after the dams are built the can
ais do not have to be dug, but let IN

A STORY.
The 10y Was Dead With the Smile o,
His Lips.

His Lips
Said n soft-eyoi night nurse, ac-
cording to Golfers Weekly: "Oh, if
you could have seen my first patient!
He was a lovely boy Of 10 from
where out on the Mexican border. In
the four days in which he was under
my charge I grew very attached to
him, but suddenly, when I was per-
fectly sure he would soon get we'll,
a violent change came, and, in spite
of every care, he died. My heart failed
me completely, but there was no time
for weakness. Too many cases were
needing attention. l was put in an
other ward temporarily and took es-
pecial charge of one very peculiar pa
tient. He lay. stolidly staring at me
without a particle of expression in his
eye, and by his apathy rather than by
real opposition refused all nourish-
ment and medicine. I couldn't induce
him to speak at first, and it took ten
minutes of coaxing to persuade him
to swallow a t%easpoonful of beef tea.
Finally he did so, however, and, after
another five minutes, he consented to
take another and then another. the
stolid expression changing into one of
INTEL. gence. If you could have seen
the change! Why, he laughed and
joked and smiled such grimaces that
my orderly and I were %convulsed with
laughter, and eve the weak men on
the neighboring cots feebly Joined in
the laugh. His nonsense was abso-
lutely contagious; so much so that ut
last I was obliged to slip away into
the dispensary to give him an oppor-
tunity to sober down, and incidentally
to prepare some matted milk. When I
returned, five minutes later, his ex-
preston was still a laughing one, and
the orderly, although attending an
other patient, gave me a knowing
smile as I leaned over the weak mans
cot. But this time the patient did not
speak. He was dead, with the smile
still on his lips and a strange, half
mischievous wink lingering about his
eyes,"

A few nights ago a lad from the
mountains brought down some three
or four gallons of blockade liquor for
those that love the juice so well. He
hid it in the woods near the town and
came on in search of customers. Soon
after he arrived a lot of boys found
their way to the lovely spot and while
the lad was supplying them some boys
in the woods near by made a rush and
the blockader made off at ~breakneck
speed, being told by his customers that
it was the revenue officers approach
ing. He had been used to the stock
law and ran against a fence, causing
much pain. By this time the naughty
boys had seized the liquor and were
making off in another direction. and

ODDITIES OF POISONING,
Much Of Earthly Happiness Depend,


Upon What We Rat.
The constitutional differences and
peculiarities which exist among indi-
viduals should always be carefully
watched and considered. One person
can handle poison ivy with impunity
while another is poisoned If only in
the vicinity of the vine and without
contact. Some members of a family
residing in a malarial district will
suffer regularly with chills and fever,
while other members Will not be at
all affected.
Food that is actually poisonous to
sonic persons will not act so on others.
One person may eat all kinds of green
fruit and vegetables with IMMUNITY,
while another person could do so only
at the risk Of life. Certain kinds OF
fish are actually poisonous to some
people and perfectly wholesome to
others.
1t is this peculiar condition of the
system which constitutes the danger
point in the individual case and
should be prudently observed by each
one for himself. Intestinal derange-
ments frequently arise from and are
aggravated by certain kinds of food.
Thus a person affected with kidney or
liver trouble should not cat very white
bread, since the extreme wilderness Is
often produced by the use CT alum
with an inferior article of -four, and as
alum is known to be poisonous in its
effects on q sound constitution, this
is why alum baking powder is never
used by people of judgment and dis
erection.
More OF earthly happiness depends
upon what We eat than many people
realize aud it Is for this reason that
the different states are one by ono
Eassing pure-food laws.

Kitty in a Mail Bag,

The officials of the Oakland postof-
flee were startled this morning to dis
I'VE a small kitten in a registered
mail pouch from San Francisco. Be-
sides the feline there were a number
of heavy packages in the pouch. When
it was opened by the p~ostoffice en-
ployes, who were attracted by a new
ing inside, the kitten Jumped out in a
playful manner, much to the amuse-
ment of those present. 1t is believed
the kitten crawled into the pouch
while it was in the San Francisco post
office. The pouch was thrown off the
train at the Sixteenth street depot
when the train was speeding at the
rate of forty miles an hour.-San

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

While Sherburne Wesley Burnham,
who is only one of Chicago's astron-
nlers, but perhaps the most distin-
guished 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 hesi-
tate to say that S~chiaparelli, who first
thought he saw them, was unfortunate
in the name he gave them. A canal
on our earth is a 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
S~chiaparelli'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.. Durham, while deferring some
what to the opinion of other astron-
c s who have given more attention
/ e 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 a long time in coming to the con-
clusion that artificial canals are on
Mars that can be seen from this earth.
Mr.. Durham admits that great in
terest 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 a 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,
latterly, 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.
ne seems 10 require no lulluer VI pet-
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-
omy" in the useful Stories Series

Camp Wikoff.-An exciting episode
relieved the tedium of camp life for
the cowboy soldiers Sunday. The in
terest began the night before, when
Josephine, the mountain lioness mas
cot of Troop A, got loose and nearly
killed a horse. Josephine was a kitten
when given to the Arizona troop, and
taken south by it as far as Tampa.
Now she is nearly half grown, and
able to kill a horse. So when she
slipped her collar the other night h
made directly for the horses of the
Second Cavalry, which were the near
est she saw. She had just jumped
on a horse and was on the point of
burying her teeth in the neck when a
cavalryman ran out with a club. He
chased her to some underground to the
north of the camp and was belaboring
her with the stick, when some of the
Rough Riders came to her rescue and
TOOK her back to her cage and chain.

said a big, whiskered Arizonian, as a
knot of them gathered around jose

never eat anything but horses. You
can poison them, but you must use

grace. Once in a while she will spring
around and open her great mouth to

lines at San Juan. Josephine antipa-
thy to dogs does not seem to extend
to Cuba, with whom she frolics. An
offer was made Troop A of $500 for
its mascot. There was a later offer of
$500, but both were refused, as the

The national debt of Spain is equiv
Alent to one-fifth Of the whole wealth
Of the kingdom, or ninety-four dollars
peF-capita. The annual interest is six
dollars per capita. The debt Of the
United States Is less than one-one-
hundred-and-fiftieth of our wealth,
and the interest is but fifty-three
cents to each Of our population. Our
total valuation in 1890 was one thou
sand and thirty-six dollars per capita;
theirs only four hundred and sixty
dollars. This means that the people
Of Spain are taxed on their debt alone
nearly twelve times as high as we,
with little more than two-fifths the
