A NEW FAD.
An Orfanixation Which b Enrolling Members At an Enor.
 nous Rate.

"Are yon a Buffalo?" This is the question which one hears on every hand Of late. At first very few knew it's meaning, but now the order of Buff faloes has hundreds of members in Tucson, says the Star, and in all other cities of the United States as well. The "Order" is rapidly growing, it has taken like wild fire, and every day sees scores of new recruits enlisting under its flag.
 For the benefit of those who have not yet been iniated into the mysteries of the order of Buffaloes, it may be stated that the organization is great big, stupid joke. Where it originated nobody knows. Probably some knight of the grip can honestly assert that he founded the ''order," and it is all together likely that it took it's name from the Pan-American exposition.
 If member of the order meets you and engages you in social converse, he will ask if you are a Buffalo. If you reply in the affirmative, he will put out his right hand to shake hands with you. II you give him your left hand he will know you are a member; if you extend your right, he will know that you are not and will straightway pro- ceed to initiate you.
 The initiation fee is II cents. If you should unfortunately give him a dollar, or any other sum of money, he will cheerfully pocket pocket it, and say: "A good Buffalo never gives change" Protests will be of no avail, he will keep your money. Moreover he will not accept an even II cents from you. BuffalOes do not recognize pennies.
 After pocketiug your coin, the initia- tor gives you the high sign of the or der, which consists of scratching your left cheek with your left hand in nonchalant manner. He then instructs you that in drinking you are always to elevate your glass to your lips with your left hand, and in smoking do likewise with your cigar.
 If member of the order catches you in the act of using your right hand in drinking or smoking, after you have been initiated, he calls out "Buffalo," and you are forced to treat every mem- Der within sight or hearing distance. "Butfalos this way" will be called out. and every member present will line up at the bar to drink at your expense.
 The principal duty of member of the order is to initiate his fellowmen into the order. It is said that one Tucson man recently made $l3 in one day initiating his friends. In Chi cago recently, a politician flashed $lOO bill to pay his initiation fee. The friend put it in his pocket and refused to give change. The owner of the bill has brought suit against him for the money. A Des Moines, Ia., bar tender pocketed $5 bill, and it's owner held him up with a gun, and made him return it.
 The joke has Caught On' every where. The clerks in the stores, men and women, alike, the professional and business men are said to have been initiated. It has taken deep root in Tucson, the members here being very numerous and very active in securing new members

HAILED BY MARS.
TESLA HOLDS THAT THE BUDDY
 PLANET HAS CALLED TO US.

Astronomers Are Chary of Admittins

 Many Encyclopedias Canals.
 Of all the planets in our grand solar system the most interesting to terres- trial observers is that which astrono- mcrs have named Mars. To the or dinary person gazing into the heavens it appears like any other star spar king point of brilliancy, especially no- ticeable, perhaps, for the redness of it's light. But to the scientific star gazer equipped with the latest apparatus of research, Mars presents an absorbing problem. Is our sister planet, or is it not, inhabited by intelligent beings, similar to ourselves?
 Through the agency of the modern great telescopes and by scientific de- duction it has been dete1e' fnod for several years that natural tio < on Mars are very similar 1 ese =. the earth. Mars has an Gtilsphere, it experiences rains, snoy. st~s-=- calms and hurricanes such $ . lave. Its surface is composed of land and water. Mars. like the earth, has Il satellite. In fact, our sister planet has two moons. It revolNes on it's axis and has regularly recurring seasons. There are many other points eff similar ity, and many of our wisest astrono- mers are of the opinion that Mars is the scene of human life and activity. This view has been greatly helped by the discovery of the so called "ca- nals' of Mars. These are regular lines on the surface of the planet, arranged in geomctrical designs. which aStrono- n3ers declare can be nothing else than inteiligently planned and executed ca- nal&
 Granting, then, the possibility, or, as some enthusiasts put it, the probability,

that Mars iS inhabited, the next aues- tion is, How are We to communicate with it's inhabitants2 The present dis cussion of this absorbing problem is caused by the claim of Nikola Tesla, the eminent electrician, that he has re- ceiyed q message from the inhabitants of Mars. CT of some other planet, with the chances in favor of Mars. Mr. Tes- Ia has been engaged in experimenting with wireless telegraphy for almost two years in Colorado, near Pike's peak.
 Mr Tesla says that during his ex- periments lis delicate instruments were disturbed by feeble electrical manifestations. which by their char scter unmistakabiy showed that they were neither of solar origin nor pro dHced by any terrestrial cause. He holds. therefore, that they are the at tempts of the inhabitants of some other planet to communicate with the earth dWollers. lie claims ill addition that by means of bis newly perfected and most powerful Instruments lie will soon be able to convey message to the planet.
