away. An arm of the Pearl Gulf ex-
tends out into the Erythrain Ocean.
To the right of the Pearl Gulf is the
great Gulf of Sabaeus. with its sharp,
steep banks. From this gulf the &C.
hon River flows north into the Nile
River. and the Oxus branches out from
the Pearl Gulf and finds its way also
into the Nile. Numerous canals run
out from the Gulf of Sabaeus to the
north and northeast.
The unfathomable secret of these
canals is the cause of much specula-
ton among the astronomers. They
marvel how it is possible for geologi-
cal nature to map out streams in
such straight lines and with such re-
markable regularity. Most of the
canals of the western hemisphere
show this remarkable regularity in
of banks, in the direction
of their flow and in the uniform width
of their beds. 1t is that condition thai
gives rise to the belief that human
beings exist or have existed on Mars
who. like those of the earth, have
improved upon nature in the develop
ments of it's elementary gifts.

CLIMBING ROSES.


Extensive BlOOm Depends on Liberal
Fertilizing and Judicious Pruning.
In the case of climbing or running
of pillar roses the end desired is as
great an amount of bloom as the
plants are capable of bearing. Such
plants are. as rule, strong growers,
and if the soil fertility is kept up they
are capable Of producing an immense
number of good blooms. Perfection of
form and large size of bloom is not a
direct object, as in the case of hybrid
perpetuals, hybrid teas and tea roses.
where close pruning is resorted to to
attain such results. Knowing the
plant to be of vigorous variety, and
in good condition. as shown by the
growth of wood of the previous year, 1t
is safe to assume that it will be able
to carry nearly as much bloom as can
set on the strong canes and shoots OF
the last years growth. 1t is always
to be understood that The soil fertility
is maintained in the highest condition
by the use of stable manure or artitic-
ial fertilizers. The essential pruning,
therefore. of climbing roses, In the
condition mentioned. consists in short
ening in the long canes by removing
some of the smaller growth at their
tips, which was made late in the sea-
son. and also shortening in the last
years growth from the older canes, al
lowing as many buds to each shoot as,
in the judgment of the primer, may be
well developed the coming season.
American Gardening gives the follow
ing pruning directions:
Cut away entirely all dead wood and
all old canes that are no longer ser
viceable. and all weak shoots.
Leave as many principal canes as
the plant appears capable of support
ing
Shorten the principal canes to
strong, sound wood
Shorten the shoots of last years
growth to a few buds -four or sikh
from which the plant will be able to
produce new shoots sufficient to cover
the whole space of the trellis, or that
occupied by the main canes.

ing Rapidly.
Mars is nearer to the earth just
now than it will be again for long
time or than it has been in many
years. The red planet entered its YER
nal equinoctial period short time
ago, when it's south pole disappeared
into darkness and cold for six months
and it's north pole emerged from a
winter of night into the bright light
of the sun, in which it will bask until
the beginning of June.
The tremendous ice fie1ds which &C
cumulated during the long winter are
now melting rapidly and the reduction
of the ice bulk can be noted almost
from day to day by the astronomers.
The swelling of the waters in the
canals and lakes Of the northern hem
isphere is also apparent to the OBJ
servers on this globe of ours. That.
according to astronomers belief. is
caused by the melting ice and snow
from the north polar region. 1t is pos
sible also at this time to observe the
canals doubling their capacity-the
wonder Of all wonders of Mars.
The prospect of the surface of our
neighbor planet as now presented is
the most interesting we have ever had.
Toward the east are the two great
bodies of water, the Nile Sea and the

The Horse Market,

London excepted" said an author
ity recently, New York is the greatest
horse market in the world. People
come here from many miles away to
buy horses. Why? Because a man
can get a bigger variety and greater
opportunity for selection and bargains
right here than he can anywhere else
in this country. There were over Co.
600 horses sold in this city last year
from January l to January I. OF these
about $4,000 were work and draught
horses. The remainder were carriage
and saddle horses. You hear that
horses are cheap-that they are a drug
in the market and that a man can buy
one at his own price. The latter is
true You can name your figure, and
the dealer will trot ont horse that
he will sell at that figure, dicker or
no dicker. You can buy a horse for
s10-or even less money. But that
does not mean that the animal is
drug in the market. have been in
the business all my life, and never
knew the time you could not buy
three-dollar horse for five dollars.
"Where do the horses all go? Well,
they go where they cannot return
from, in a great many instances. The
report of the Board of Health for last
wear shows that in Greater New York
no fewer than $4,000 horses died from
natural causes, or were killed to be
nut out Of misery. If $4,000 horses die |
and 10000 horses are sold. there can
not be many more horses here than
there we're at this same time last year.
