NelAsd CiRar Signs Have Become tAs
Vogue of Late Years.
Wooden Indians, bemoans q man who
had carved them for years. have gone
out of fashion and his occupation IL
disappearing with them. Luckily, he ia
the only one In the business still ano
there is employment enough for bim'
although prospects for some years nave
been of such character that norecruits
have been added to this calling and
with him it will die out of New York.
Tobacco shops In these days are, ac'
cording to his experience. not especially
anxious to possess an Indian as sign
Of their business. In case they select
this advertisement q nodded Indian
serves their purpose just as well, ano
the former ambition Of tobacconists to
place in front Of a store a well-carved
presentiment Of the native American no
longer exists. Degenerate cigarette
shops uptown call attention to their
business by means of an exhibit which,
compared with an Indian, carved or
nodded, seems a lamentable decline In
taste and aesthetics. The swarthy
young women with beaded jackets and
fezes who make cigarettes in the shop
windows still are potent in attracting
crowds to watch them. One who has
seen them frequently must be surprised
that the tobacconist business could pos
sibly be improved by the contemplation
Of these young women at work. II any
thing could destroy the ideas OF delicacy
and exquisiteness connected with the
Turkish cigarette it would be a sight Of
these women.
The wood carver complains that the
tobacconists are not the only persons
who have ceased to demand his handi-
work. The circuses, for which he used
to carve all kinds of show wagons for
the street parades, no longer call on him
or any other wood carver, but have
them made by cheaper process OF
mOlding. il they want such articles. 1t
is easy enough for any person who has
seen a circus parade in recent years to
realize that there must be little demand
for any work in that direction. For
fifteen years one circus parade has ex-
hibited annually the same set Of gilded
wagons. without even the change that
might come from little fresh paint

MARS is INHABITED.
PEOPLE DWELL ON OUR PlANs
ETARY NEIGHeOR.
This Claim 10 Very Confidently and
Soberly Advanced by q Skilled Ger
man Scientist-Im probable that Com
munication Will Ever BE Esta blished.

rs Mars inha bited?" has been asked
very often during recent years, and has
engaged the serious attention Of many
astronomers, and especially of NJ.
Camille Flammarion, noted French
scientist and author.
Some new light is now thrown on this
subject by Prof Ernst Haeckel. an en-
inent German philosopher. in a book
entitled World Problems" After
pointing out that men have studied
the heavens for more than 4.5OO years
and have only been studying them
selves for the last half century, he says
we may safely assume that the many
fixed stars whose Light requires thou
sands of years to reach us, are suns,
and are surrounded by planets and
worlds similar to those we know. We
may also assume, he holds, that thou
sands of these planets have arrived at
the same stage Of development as our
world. and ii naturally follows that on
them the same conditions of life prevail
As on this earth, and there is no valid
reason why human beings should not
live there as they do here.
Prof. Haeckel takes care to explain
hat there are doubtless many planets
the temperature of which Is such that
life. as we understand the term. cannot
ne sustained on them He thinks it
very probable that there a'e types Of
animals and plants ON some planets
which are not to be found on this earth
According to him. it is very likely that
he biOgenetic process exists on Mars.
Venus and possibly some other planets
)f our system. as we'll as on planets Of
other solar systems, but plants on these
planets have reached a higher stage OF
development than has been reached by
animals and plants of this earth.
If we assume that Mars Is Inhabited
md Prof. Haeckel seems pretty well
satisfied that it is-we must assume, he
holds. that the men and women whose
home is on the planet are not such as
We. but of far higher type. They
may resemble us exteriorly. but they
are free from our physical defects and
excel us in strength and gracefulness
II is in the intellectual sphere, however,
hat their superiority is most clearly
shown. If there are human beings on
these planets, says Prof. Haeckel, it Is
extremely probable that they far sur
pass ordinary men and women in in
telligence.
Another question often asked is: "Will
we ever be able to communicate with
the inhabitants of distant planets:'
Prof. Haeckel's reply is that there is
very little probability Of any direct
communication ever being established. (
His reasons are because the earth is
such a great distance from Mars AMI
other planets. and because the condi
lion of the air between the earth and
these planets is such as to render direct
communication by any means at present
known to us impossible.

Something that Will Interest the Ju-

Quaint Actions and Bright Sayings
Of Many Cute and Cunning Children.

All Of our months were named by the
Romans a great many years ago. One
" the months looks back on the old
rear, and 1t looks ahead to the young
,r new year. SO 1t was named for a god
whom the Romans worshiped. He was
represented as having two faces. look
ng in opposite directions. One of-his
aces was old and the other one was
young. His name was Janus. Can you
guess which month was namede for
lin? Another month was named for
:he god Of war. What was his name
Ind which month was named for him:
May was named for Maia, goddess
who was the mother of the god Mer-
Jury, and June was named for Jupiter's
wife Juno.
Have you ever noticed that while
most months alternate with thirty and
hirty-one days. July and August come
ogether with thirty-one days? That is
because these months were named for
he two emperors, Julius and Augustus
Caesar. 1t would not have done to give
,ne a longer month than the other re-
.eived, so both months were given thir-
:y-one days.
In early times the Romans had only
;en months, with names that meant
irst month. second month. and so on.
Four Of those names are used now, for
Instance: December really means
tenth month" although it is now the
welfth month. Can you find the other
hree? A man named Numa added the
:wo months Of January and February,
shortening the others in order to d., so.
1t Is said that February is name
aiken from Latin word that means 10
purify. because during that month they
1eld what they called the feast of puri-
ication, and that April Is from word
hat means to open. because at that sea
'on the buds begin to open.
