the same length, though they are so for
all practical purposes. The left is usG-
ally the longer, though the gait is not
notably Influenced by this fact. AT
birth the lower limbs are shorter than
the upper, and their movements are
rather of the prehensile type. "We are
not born leggy like the foal or kanga-
roo, but we gradually achieve leggi-
ness" The bones increase in length not
so much by interstitial deposit as by
addition TO their endsthat is, by pro-
gressive Justification of the layer of car
tilage which intervenes between the
end of the shaft and the epiphysis. Os

parts of the bone are all united by bony
matter, and thus the stature of the in
dividual is determined.
If from Inflammation or injury an
epiphysls be damaged, one limb may be
shorter than the other, or inflammatory
stimulation may even induce an in,

A South Side Sunday school teacher
is under the patronage and motherly
direction of wealthy woman, who
owns, among other things, large
conservatory. One of the inducements
offered to the children who attend the
Sunday school is the weekly distribu-
ton of flowers. Every pupil receives
flower-a carnation or perhaps a
rose-and when member of the
school is reported to be sick at home
a whole bouquet is sent to the unfor-
tunate child. This pretty custom has

demic of illness among the little girls.
who are very fond of flowers. The
little girl who went to Sunday school
received one flower and the little girl
who was sick at home received
whole bouquet, to say nothing of the
sympathy. One child in particular,
who has thought deeply over the mat
ter, finds herself in severe doubt every
Sabbath morning, and all she needs is
little encouragement to be a real in.

Worlds Greatest Pigeon Farm.
The largest pigeon farm or ranch
in the world is situated on the out
skirts of Los Angeles, in California. It
has over 10000 flying pigeons. These
live in three large tiers of coops or
houses, and in numerous smaller ones.
The largest of the houses contains
1900 coops inside. and 749 outside. The
other two principal buildings are made
up of 1000 and 1000 coops respective
ly. A remarkable fact in connection
with this place is that the pigeons
never leave the ranch, and it is very
seldom that one ever gets beyond the
large wire fence that surrounds the
place. They are fed on assorted grain
and screenings. at a cost of about G2
day.

These are undoubtedly canals in a

known that these canals carried off
the ice and snow that melted during
the summer season, but it is a fact
that the observation of the canals is
clearer at the season of the year when
it may be assumed that the snow and
ice are melting.

Why We Can't
Talk with Mars


Unless you have a longer than ordi-
nary lease of life there is little hope
that you will live to shake hands with
visitor from Mars.
The fascinating possibility of COM
munication with this much-talked of
planet has been given a solar plexus
blow by the eminent astronomer, Sir
Robert Ball, now lecturing in this
country
The likelihood of signaling to Mars
has been so often discussed and inter
twined with such a network of ro-
nance and speculation that Sir Rob-
ert Balls plain statement that it is an
impossibility is causing a popular SEN
sation.
1t is his array of figures that makes
Sir Roberts argument impressive
Mars, he points out, is one hundred
and fifty times as far away as the
moon, and it is difficult enough to get
accurate information about the sur
face of the moon. Any building on
earth would have to be at least one
hundred and fifty times as long and
as broad as it is before an inhabitant
of Mars, with as powerful tele-
scope as We have on earth today,
might happen to see it even if he were
looking in this direction and the at
mosphere were unusually clear.
Using the modern methods of mill
tary signaling with flags, it would re-
quire flag at least 300 miles long, 200
miles wide, attached to a pole 500
miles long, to be waved to and fro be-
fore an inhabitant of Mars looking
through his spyglass would be i'm
pressed with the idea that there was
anything unusual going on. Or, if the
imagination could conceive of Lake
Superior filed with petroleum and set
on fire, the great blaze might appear as
a speck of light to an inhabitant Of
Mars who happened to see it.
BY the Marconi wireless telegraphy
system, capable of sending flash of
light seven times around this earth in
a second of time, it might be possible
| to get a message to the moon, if the
electric force would carry, in about
four seconds and to Mars in eight min
utes; but there are stars visible every
night. through the telescope so remote
that even if Marconi message had
been sent to them at the moment of
the crucifixion the news would not
have reached there yet. There are
other stars visible to the naked eye
that could not have received the news
of the battle of Waterloo if the news
had been sent by Marconi telegraphy

Unloads Ore Ships
Machinery Now Reduces tho
Labor and Cost

The use of steam shovels at some of
the large iron mines in the Lake Su-
perior region in loading cars at the
mines has long been an important ele-
ment in reducing the cost of iron ore.
The handling of the ore in this manner
years ago reached degree of perfec-
ton that is almost incredible. A rec.
ord of 5000 tons of ore dug from the
ground and loaded by one machine in
nine hours indicates what may be done
under favorable conditions. OF course
this achievement is not usual and it
would be unfair to gauge seasons
work by this record. The average out
put of each shovel per day, working
In open pits and dumping the ore d.
rectly into the cars, is about $500 to
1000 tons, costing from 10 to Is cents

however, before great expedition and
economy were secured in unloading the

the ore buckets. Ore handling appli-

Conneaut on Lake Erie, for instance,
a 6,OOO-ton ship may now be cleared of
its ore in fourteen hours. A load of ore

eight hours after the arrival of the YES
