ROYAL ARCANUM.

Form a Membership Club In the
Council-Notes of the Order.
! The members of Philadelphia council
formed a membership club several weeks
Ago, each member agreeing to propose
new Members before May 1, 1900, or for
felt the sum of 81 to the club. The coun-
Gil ia to award prizes to the three mem
bers bringing in the most members in the
time specified. Sixty members have join
ed the club, and over 80 new members
have already been proposed.
Statistics show that if a sick benefit of
50 week is paid the annual dues to in
sure such benefit must be at least Sc,
with an additional allowance for current
expenses of the lodge. and there must be
an accumulation in the early years to
provide for the extra sickness which
comes from old age.
If a member desires to leave the Royal
Arcanum, it is cheaper and a great deal
more honorable to request a certificate of
final withdrawal and go out of the order
clean and clear, without any charges
against him.
The balance on hand in the widows
and orphans fund Nov. 1 was $685.

is MARS PEOPLED?
Such a Claim Advanced by n German
Scientist.

scientist.
els Mars inhabited?" has been asked
very often during recent years and has
engaged the serious attention of many
astronomers and especially of NJ. Ca
mile Flammarion, a noted French sci
enlist and author.
Some new light is now thrown on
this subject by Professor Ernst Hack
ell, an eminent German philosopher, in
book entitled world Problems
After pointing out that men have been
studying the heavens for more than
500 years and have only been study
ing themselves for the last half CEN
fury he says we may safely assume
that the many fixed stars whose light
requires thousands 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 thousands Of these planets have
arrived at the same stage of develop
ment as our world, and it naturally
follows that on them the same cOndi-
lions of life prevail as on this earth.
and there is no valid reason why hui
man beings should not live there as
they do here.
Professor Haeckel takes care to eX-
plain that there are doubtless many
planets the temperature of which is
such that life, as we understand the
term, cannot be sustained on them.
He thinks it very probable that there
are types of animals and plants on
some planets which are not to be found
on the earth. According to him, it is
very likely that the biogenetic process
exists on Mars, Venus and possibly
some other planets Of our system, as
well as on planets of other solar Sys-
TENS, 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
and Professor Haeckel seems pretty
well satisfied that it is-we must as
sumo, he holds, that the men and wo-
men whose home is on the planet are
not such as we, but of a far higher
type. They may resemble us exterior
ly, but they are free from our physical
defects and excel us in strength and
gracefulneSs. 1t is in the intellectual
sphere, however, that their superiori-
ty is most clearly shown. If there are
human beings on these planets, says
Professor Haeckel, it is extremely
probable that they far surpass ordi-
nary men and women in intelligence.

Ready Money Crops For Spring.

If spinach has grown we'll and win
ter comes on late, some may be cut
out in the fall or perhaps early win
ter, when the price is usually high
enough to make it very profitable, but
most of the crop should be lightly COW
cred with salt hay, straw or other
mulch as a protection from freezing
and thawin" during the winter. This
mulching should be taken off early in
the spring and a dressing of about 400
pounds per acre of nitrate of soda or
sulphate of ammonia put on to force
the crop along and give it the broad
leaves and dark green color which at
tract buyers. In some sections of the
east curled kale is used upon part of
the ground instead of spinach. An
exchange says the winter treatment is
much the same, even including the
spring dressing of chemicals. A spring
crop of this kind leaves the land in
better condition in the spring than ly-
ing bare and prevents it from washing,
and the money is usually most accept
able to the farmer at that season. 1t
is acceptable at any time, but in the
spring there will be seeds, tools, fer
tilizers and other things to be bought.
and ready cash buys cheaper than any
mans credit.

Interstate Water RIGHTS.

Bulletin No. 20 of the Office of expert
ment stations, water Right Problems
of the Bear River inaugurates the
study by the department of agriculture
Of interstate difficulties over irrigation.
Few of the more important irrigation
streams lie wholly in one state. AS
state irrigation laws differ, this results
in interstate complications over prop
erty rights in rivers. The Bear river
in it's course of about 300 miles crosses
state lines of Wyoming, Idaho and
Utah five times and finally empties in
to Salt lake at a distance of less than
80 miles from it's source. 1t therefore
illustrates in small compass many of
the water rights complications. The
bulletin gives a description of physical
conditions and irrigation works along
this river and suggests that relief from
existing evils can be had by improving
opportunities for storage rather than
through litigation over the natural
dow.

Home to BE Established at Saratoga.
Short Talks.
The board of managers of the New
York Red Mems home have decided on
Saratoga. At a recent meeting the land
for the home, so acres, on South Broad
way, was bought and the spring on it in
spected. The home is to be supported by
the sale of water from the spring, which
will be marketed under the name of Re
Me-Ho. 1t was decided to repair and
make habitable house now on the prop
erty, and plans to enlarge this for the
first home building were approved. The
Business Mems association of Saratoga
met the board and offered to pay all the
expenses of the drilling and housing of
the spring, not to exceed 81, 500, in con-
sideration of the home being situated on
the property. A favorable offer was re-
ceived from Catskill, but that of Sarato-

Sing While Marching.

A German army doctor has discover
ed that singing possesses health giving
properties. He claims that it intensi-
fies the respiratory movements, thus
rendering the lungs capable of dealing
with more air. This increases and
strengthens the action of all the organs
of the body. Appetite and thirst in
crease, and the more frequent move
ments of the diaphragm materially aid
digestion. German foot soldiers are
therefore encouraged to sing on the
march.

The latest dictum of the Academic

treatment of appendicitis, surgical
treatment being the only rational one.
NJ. Dienlafoy and others condemn I'M
sparingly the routine procedure of rest,
opium, ice bag and purgation. The
proper moment of surgical intervention
is declared to be within "a hours if the
onset is severe and within Sc if the at
tack is less acute. This pronunciamen-
to, taken with the well known fact that
the diagnosis OF the disease is not al
ways an easy matter, must sometimes
place the Por surgeon In an awkward
dilemma.
