Mars Has No Air OF Water.

Not only are there no water on Mars
but there is no air, or very little. Spec
troscopic observations at the Lick OBJ
servatory, far more complete and thor
oughgoing than those made at other
stations, writes Prof. Edward S. Holden
in McClure's Magazine, lead to the con-
clusion that the atmosphere on Mars is
certainly less in amount than that sur
rounding the summit on the highest
Himalayan peaks. 1t is by no means
certain that what air there is is of the
right kind for human beings to breathe.
All telescope observation leads to the
conclusion that there are no clouds on
Mars. II there were air and water
clouds would certainly form. The Sky
of Mars is absolutely sunny. 1t is safe
to say that, speaking generally, Mars
is planet without water, without air
in any marked quantity and totally
unfit for the abode of human beings.

Utah proposes to avert pending calam.
ity to her agricultural section by sup.
plying the Great Salt Lake basin with
needed water. Irrigation has cut off the
supply and the lake itself is in imminent
danger of drying up. The usual supply
of water is being withheld, and evapora-
ton is rapidly lowering the level of the
lake. Centuries ago the shores of the
great inland salt sea were high on the
mountains, where the line of the an.
cient brook is visible today, and the
lake, which has sunk TO its present di-
mansions, promises to disappear far
more rapidly than in the ages past.

ing a dramatic scene in the village
graveyard here, where dozen men
gathered at midnight and dug up a
coffin found to contain only some ola
rags, three prominent residents OF this
place have been arrested, charged with
attempting to perpetrate all insurance
fraud.
The accused men are A. 7. Smock, a
druggist: DR.. Harry H. O'Kelley ana
John Adams. They had taken lively
interest in Thomas Reid, stranger who
came to this hamlet few months ago.

death was announced by Adams soon
afterward
Murray Phillips, Jr,, prosecuting at
torney OF New Madrid county, makes
his principal charge against Smock and
O'Kelley, and holds Adams for COM
picity. A further charge against ADAMS
has just been made, it being alleged
that last week he fired two shots into
the homes OF George McFadden and
David Fischer, two farmers living near
the graveyard.
Little else has been talked about here
than the sudden appearance OF Reid, his
election to the Modern Woodmen, the
issuance OF the largest policy the order
grants to any member his subsequent
disappearance, and reports that ne was

Adams announced on April that
Reid was dead. Smock bought coffin,
which was charged to the Woodmen'
and several members OF the order then
suggested that they attend the funeral
as a mark of respect for the new mem
Der who had been taken from them SO

no ordinary one, led a little band OF
farmers to the graveyard at midnight
on Monday. Some began to frown on
the undertaking, but McFadden was
not discouraged. Taking shovel he
began to throw back the earth over the
grave.
When McFadden had penetrated to
the lid of the coffin several tried to dis
suade him from further investigation.
But he continued his work, presently
lifting the cover from the coffin.
Taking a lantern in his hand he re,
turned to the edge OF the grave and
lowered the light until the rays fell uoonl
the casket. McFadden exultantly called
his companions to the edge OF the grave
and there they beheld with him that only
few old rags had been buried in the
coffin.

Pittsburg, Pa. Especially .-Plttsburg
and Allegheny are slowly emerging
from the food. At 8 p. m. the rivers
were receding nearly foot an hour.
The highest point reached at DAVIS
Island dam was 25.8 feet at 3 a. m,
which means 20 feet at the junction OF
the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers.
The water remained stationary until
about 3 p. H., when it began to fall.
Conservative estimates OF the total
loss in this district is between $2'ooo,ooo
and 100000.
Fifty thousand workers are suffering
from enforced idlencss.
While there have been greater floods
at this point, there was never one that
caused so much financial loss and dis
comfort. This was due to the denser
population caused by the recent rapid
growth OF the two cities, and to the fact
that all the manufacturing plants on the
river banks were in active operation,
most OF them working night and day,
until the rising water put out the fires
and drove the workers to higher
ground.
The damage to the furniture and
buildings in Allegheny is estimated at
about $1oo,ooo 1t will take two months
Of hot summer weather to thoroughly
dry out these houses. In Pittsburg the
loss to residences, stores and goods and
the cost OF cleaning UP will amount to
about $25o,ooo.
At Carnegie borough, six miles from
Pittsburg, the loss is estimated at S4o,-
600, of which the Columbia Bridge
Works lose $5ooo The other losses
range from SIS to 5000. The Westlng-
house Electric Company had two car
loads of finished material for Toronto
Canada, on the tracks near Turtle
Creek. They were caught in the food
and water got into the cars. The loss
may reach $4,000.
