BY the way, it is we'll to give to the
present county assessor his due need
OF credit for the work he has done out
side of the routine work Since he
has been in the office, over two years,
the Office has cost less than total of
81 800. In the same time the present

The valuation of the corporations,
such as telephone. telegraph, palace
car, express companies, etc, was on
the basis of 1897, as that state board
of tax commissioners have not made

CHAPTER XIII.

In the meantime some of the skulkers
whose flight 1 have referred to began to
return, chapfallen, but rejoicing in the
Disappearance of the danger. Several of
them, l am ashamed to say, had been
army officers. Yet possibly some excuse
could be made for tho terror by which
they had been overcome. No man has -
right to hold his fellow beings to &C.
count for the line Of conduct they may
pursue under circumstances which are
not only entirely unexgmpled in their
experience, but almost beyond the power
OF the imagination to picture.
Paralyzing terror had evidently seized
them with the sudden comprehension of
the unnracadeutad s;ncularitv of thGir
situation. Millions of miles away from
the cart confronted on an asteroid by
these diabolical monsters from a NAL
Efficient planet, who We're on the point
of destroying them with strange tor
ment of death, perhaps it was really
more than human nature, deprived Of
the support of human surroundings,
could have been expected to bear
Those who, as already described, had
run with so great speed that they were
projected, all unwilling, into space, ris-
ing in elliptical orbits from the surface
of the planet, describing great curves in
what might be denominated its sky, and
then coming back again to the little
globe on another side, were so flied
with the wonders Of their remarkable
adventure that they had almost forgot
ten the terror which had inspired it.
There was nothing surprising in what
had occurred TO them the moment one
considered the laws Of gravitation on
the asteroid, but their stories aroused
Ri intense interest among all who lis
tened to them.

gigantic anthill, at any rate bore ON ev-
cry side the marks of their presence and
of their incredible undertakings aud
achievements.
Here and there clouds Of smoke arose
and spread slowly through the atmos-
phere beneath us. Floating higher above
the surface of the planet were clouds of
vapor, assuming the familiar forms of
stratus and cumulus with which we
were acquainted upon the earth.
These clouds, however, seemed upon
tho whole to be much less dense than
those to which we were accustomed ut
home. They had, too, peculiar rides
cent beauty, as if there was something
IL their composition or their texture
! which split up the ohromatic elements
Of the sunlight and thus produced in
tornal rainbow effects that caused some
| of the heavier cloud masses to resemble
immense collections of opals, alive with
the play of ever changing colors, and
magically suspended above the planet.
AS we continued to study the phenom-
ena that were gradually unfolded be-
meath us we thought that we could de-
tect in many places evidences Of the OK
istence of strong Notifications. The
planet of war appeared to be prepared
for the attacks of enemies. Since, as our

We rose 10 an immense hCiGht
tening preparations to quit the asteroid
and resume cur voyage to Mars Lord
Kelvin and number Of other scientific
men instituted series of remarkable
experiments.
1t was one of the most Imaginable
things imaginable to see Lord Kelvin,
dressed in his alright suit, making
tremendous jumps into empty space. 1t
reminded me forcibly of what Lord
Kelvin, then plain William Thompson
and Professor Blackburn had done When
spending summer vacation at the sen.
side while they were undergraduates
of Cambridge university. They had
spent all their time, to the surprise Of
onloolSers, in spinning rounded stones
on the beach, their object being to OBJ
tain practical solution of the mathe,
NAUTICAL problem of procession.
Immediately Lord Kelvin was imi-
tated by dozen others. With what
seemed very slight effort they projected
themselves straight upward, rising t.
height Of 400 feet or more, and then
slowly settling back again to tho sur
face Of the asteroid. The time Of rise
and fall combined was between three
and four minutes.
On this little planet the acceleration
of gravity or the velocity acquired by Il
falling body in one second was only
four -fifths of an inch A body required
an entire minute to fall distance of
only 100 feet Consequently it was
more like gradual settling than falling,
The figures of these men of science, ris-
ing and sinking in this manner, APP
peared like so many gigantic mario
nettes bobbing up and down in pneu-
matte bottle.
'Let us try that" said Mr.. Edison,
very much interested in the experiments.
Both of us jumped together. AT first
