density of the air on Mars it is proba-
BILE that clear space Of at least mile
in height exists between the surface of
Mars and the lower limit of the smoke
curtain. Just how deep the latter is we
can only determine by experiment. but
it would not be surprising if the thick
ness of this great blanket which Mars
has thrown around itself should prove
to be quarter or half mile"
"Anyhow, said one of the United
States army officers, "they have lodged
out of sight. and l don't see why we
should not dodge in and get at them. If
there is clear air under the smoke, as
you think, why couldn't the ships dart
down through the curtain and come to
close tackle with the Martians?"
"It would not do at ALL" said the
commander. "We might simply run
ourselves into an ambush No; we must
stay outside. and if possible fight them
from here.
"They can't keep this thing up for
ever" said the officer perhaps the
smoke will clear off after awhile, and
then we will have a chance"
"Not much hope of that, I am
afraid said the chemist who had orig
inally spoken. "This smoke could re-
main floating in the atmosphere for
weeks, and the only wonder to me is
how they ever expect to get rid of it,
when they think their enemies have
gone and they want some sunshine
again."
"All that is mere speculation" said
Mr.. Edison. "Let us get at something
practical. We must do one of two
things-either attack them shielded as
they are or wait until the smoke has
cleared away. The only other alterna-
tive, that Of plunging blindly down
to be thought Of. !"
"I am afraid we couldn't stand q
very long siege ourselves" suddenly
remarked the chief commissary Of the
expedition, who was one of the mem
bers of the fiagship's company.
"What do you mean by that?" asked
Mr.. Edison sharply, turning to him.
swell, sir, you see, said the COM
missary, stammering, "our provisions
wouldn't hold out"
"Wouldn't hold out?' exclaimed Mr..
Edison in establishment. "Why, we have
compressed and prepared provisions
enough to last this squadron for three
years..
"We had, sir, when we left the
earth, " said the commissary in appar-
ent distress, "but l am sorry to say
that something has happened.
Something has happened Explain

CHAPTER XIV.

We passed over the curious, halt
drowned continent known to terrestrial
astronomers as the region of Deucalion,
then across another sea or gulf, until
we found ourselves floating at height
of perhaps five miles above great con-
tinental land at least 3, 600 miles broad
from east to west, and which l immedl-
ately recognized as that to which as
tronomers had given the various names
Of Aeria, Edom, Arabia and Eden.
Here the spectacle became of breath
less interest.
Wonderful Wonderful
"Who could have believed it'll"
Such were the EXPLANATIONS heard on
all sides.
When at first we were suspended
above Hellas. looking toward the north,
the northeast and the northwest, We
had seen at distance some Of these
great red regions and had perceived the
curious network of canals by which
they were intersected. But that was q
faroff and imperfect view.
Now, when we were near at hand and
straight above one of these singular
lands. the magniicence of the panorama
surpassed belief.
From the earth about dozen of the
principal canals crossing the continent
beneath us had been perceived, but we
saw hundyeds, nay, thousands of them |!
1t wash double system, intended both
for irrigation and for protection, and
far more marvellous in its completeness
than the boldest speculative minds
among our astronomers had ever dared
to imagine.
''Ha, that's what always said," ex-
claimed veteran from one of our great
observatories Mars is red because it's
soil and it's vegetation are red. ;"
And certainly appearances indicated
that he was right.
There were no green trees, and there
was no green grass. Both were red, not
of a uniform red tint, but presenting an
immense variety of shades which pro-
cling our eyes.
But what trees! And what grass
And what flowersl
Our telescopes showed that even the
smaller trees must be 200 or 800 feet in
height, and there were forests of giants,
whose average height was evidently at
least / 900 feet.
''That's all right, exclaimed the en-.
thusiast / have just quoted. 81 knew il
would be SO. The trees are big for the
same reason that the men are, because
the planet is small, and they can grow

Flashing in the sun on all sides were
the roofs of metallic buildings, which
were evidently the only kind of edificel
that Mars possessed. At any rate, il

A NEW IDEA IN CLUBs.-s'The Cur
rent Topics Clubs" is a new feature
which has just been introduced by the
great philadelphia Press" A large
body of experts and specialists in every
walk of life has been engaged to furnish
to the readers of "The Press,n through
a current topics department. daily arti-
cles of an interesting and informatory
character. These will cover every field
of activity, will be attractive alike to
the old and young and in theirentirety
will form the foundation for liberal
education. There will be one article
day each week, so that every week six
important subjects will be treated.
''The Press" considers the organiza-
ton of the Current Topics Club' as
among the most important of it's
achievements. 1t is certain to attract
great attention. The only requirement
for membership is that you shall be a
reader of the Philadelphia Daily Press.

A Word About Text Books,

While the question Of the vicious in
fluence of the book trust upon the NOR
ais of school directors is uppermost in
the State press, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer, we would like to make one
suggestion.
There are times when a change in
the text books of all schools is neces-
sary and proper. Those in use become
hurtful and therefore should be retired
New discoveries are made, a record of
which is not found therein. New gov
ernments are formed and old ones are
dismempered; the provinces thereof
pass under the rule of other nations.
Language grows, and we all must keep
pace with the growth. The history of
China, to illustrate, will probably be
different ten years hence. For any
school board to permit in the schools
under its management, books teaching
what is not truth, would be an unpard-
enable blunder.
But to admit this is not to declare
that change of text books is necessary
almost every year as is becoming the
custom. A bad book cannot be too
quickly discarded. If it were negative
in character and influence it might be
tolerated, but being positive in it's in
fluence on the young it should be tossed
into the fire the instant its inaccuracy
is discovered. Too large portion of
all lives is spent in unlearning what
never should have been learned, what
never would have been learned had
those older that the learners attended
conscientiously to their duties.
OF course, all this means that only
the most intelligent and conscientious
men should be made school directors,
but as The Inquirer has argued for that
many years it does not shrink from
that conclusion now. Meanwhile, this
remains indisputable: There should
be no changes of reliable text books
until a change is demanded, not by the
men who sell books, but by such varia-
tions of actual conditions as warrant
the change in the interest of truth.
