Professor Newcomb, in an exhaustive
article in the Forum on Recent Astro-
nomical Progress" proceeds to demolish
the claims that we have evidence Of life
in the planet Mars.
According to the Professor, Mars has
little or no atmosphere; there are few
or no clouds on Mars; it is 'by no means
certain" that the polar 'ice-caps' are ice
at all. They may be due to some other
substance-solid carbonic acid, for exam
ME. Indeed. it would seem hardly posi-
HE that the suns rays would suffice to
melt more than a few inches of ice or
snow on the poles of Mars. The white
ness (of the polar-cap9 may, however, be
produced by a layer no thicker than boar
frost" What follows, is asked, from
these conditions on our sister planet? The
answer is: If there are no clouds, there
can be no water, for water or snow would
eyaporate to form a layer of clouds.
Hence, there can be no seas no
.lakes," no canals" with water in them.
Channels, cracks in the soil, there may
be, of course 1t is certain from other
considerations, we are told, that the So
called canals" which are simply dark,
narrow streaks, cannot be water. At the
Lick Observatory these dark canals"
have been found all over the planet, in its
so-called "seas" as we'll as on its land"
But worse than this, Professor New
comb discourages the idea that in the
near future, at least, we shall find indi-
cations of life on any Of the planets. NO
increase of telescope power, he contends
Is likely to carry us much farther than
we are now. Telescopes may, in the fu-
ture, be vastly improved, he says, but the
obstacles TO better vision appear to be In
superable. They lie, not in the imperfec-
lions OF the telescope, but in the disturb
ing effects OF the unquiet air that sur
rounds the earth. So long as astronomers
must work within the atmosphere, so long
the unstcadness OF the air will prevent
the use OF very high magnifers. 1t is, OF
course, he remarks. possible that new in
struments may be invented, based on new
principles, and that, by their use. we may
attain the desired knowledge. but there
is, he believes, no present reason TO hope
for such inventions.

bic, Woodbury. Forest High School trled
its strength against Virginia to-day. The
game was not a very interesting one,
there being q good many errors by WOOD

ing by Allen and Mccormick for VIZ
ginia. Virginlas batting and base-ruh-
ming were the features of the game. Inc
school boys put up "a plucky hsht

about the fifth or sixth inning, when they
began to get ratified. Lattimer was MT
hard in this inning, four runs being gam
ed by Virginia. After this Andrews TOOK
Iatimer's place. Fer Woodberry Forest
LeGrande, Kerr, and Carpenter played
about the best game. Carpenter created
great excitement by putting the ban over
the fence for a home run in the hrst
inning. Pinkerton pitched a steady game
for Virginia up to the sixth inning, when
he was replaced by Allen and Mccormick,
both of whom were very Wild. Martin
and Hill carried off the honors for VIZ
ginia In the batting line. the former
getting two triples and n single. and the
latter three singles. Mallory and Pop
Collier each drew a two-bagger.
Captain Kerr. OF Woodberry Forest,
was responsible for the only unpleasant
incident of the game, when, in the ninth
inning. he hit fly TO the inheld, which
Mallory got under right I'm the base line.
Instead Of running around Mallory as
the rule requires. Kerr lowered his Shout
der and struck Hill at full speed. causing
Hill to muff the ball Kerr was promptly
called out by the umpire.

EUROPE's INTEREST IN PEACE.

Hon. James b. Eustis, Ambassador to
France under Mr.. Cleveland's last adj
ministration, is quoted in a Washington
special TO the Baltimore Sun as express
ing most decided conviction that in case
of war between this country and Spain,
the latter will not receive active aid from
any of her European sisters. The fact
is, said Mr.. Eustis. if our government in
tends to take any decisive action which
would lead to hostilities with Spain, it
can discard apprehension that any
European Power would take an active
part against our government. No Euro
pean Power he added. could have any
possible interest in meddling with ques-
ton of peace or war between Spain and
the United States.
Mr.. Eustis might have gone further,
however, and stated that some of the
European Powers have decided interest
in using their influence with Spain to pre-
vent war-have great commercial inte-
rest in using their influence in order to
that consummation. These Powers are
Great Britain, Germany, and France.
The foreign trade of this country
amounts to $1,2OOOOOOO0 annually, the
greater part of which is with Europe
As we pointed out the other day, no
country in Europe has anything like as
large a commerce with Spain as it has
with US. AS to most of the European
nations, their Spanish trade Is mere
bagatelle. OF our 81, 100000 of foreign
trade. SOL 100000 is with Great Britain,
s2S6 900 900 is with Germany, and Sl25,OoO,0O
is with France-the total distributed
among the three Powers being, in round
numbers, 81, 100000 In case OF war
this trade, it goes without saying, would
be exposed to disastrous interruptions.
But these are not the only figures that
show that leading European Powers are
interested in preserving the peace. France
holds $3.50, 100000, and Germany S1OOOOo,OOO
of Spain's foreign obligations.
Whether these great interests will cause
the Powers in question to bring pressure
on Spain TO accede to our ultimate de-
mands. we know not, but it is not I'M
probable that they will. AT all events
we may hope for such result without
however. depending upon that hope TO the
detriment of expecting and preparing for
the worst.
