ARE NOT FROM MARS.
Prof. ILLUMINATION Does Not Believe
Luminous Spots on the Planet
Are Signals.

Prof. Camille Flammarion. speaking
on the subject of signals from the sup
posed Inhabitants of the planet Mars,
declared that the luminous points OBJ
served by Prof. Douglas north of the
Icarian sea were due to the setting
sun lighting up clouds which exist SOLE
ly in the Marian atmosphere in the
neighborhood of the Icarian sea.
Prof. Flammarion does not believe in
the theory that the Martians are trying
to communicate with the earth at the
same time that we are trying to reach
them. He believes, however, that it is
possible to establish communication
with the Martians.
He approves of Prof. Schmoll's idea
of reproducing an outline of the lu-
minous points of the Great Bear at
Bordeaux Marseilles, Strasburg, Paris,
Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Stock
holm.

DISCOVERY CAUSES SURPRISE.
The Story of the Finding of Mar
quotes Bones Raises
Question.

Surprise was occasioned in Milwau
kee, Wis, by hereport of the discovery
of the supposed bones of Father Mar
quette near Frankfort, Mich. 1t has
generally been supposed for the past
20 years that the remains of Father
Marquette are in the possession of
Marquette college in Milwaukee.
They were located by Father Jacker,
an Indian missionary, in 1878, at st.
Ignace, Mich, on the site of the chapel
of the Mission of ST. Ignatius, which
Father Marquette founded in 1911.
Father Jacker found the ruins of the
chapel, and digging beneath the altar
site discovered the relics. They were
sent to Marquette college, which was
then being built. A celebration was
held at ST. Ignace in August, 1879, on
account of Father Jackson's discovery.
President A. F. Burrowes, of Mar
quette college, said: II saw the dis
patch and shall be interested in the
disclosure of the proofs said to be in
the hands of the Michigan State His
torical society. All priests are buried
in their vestments. Still the skull may
be all that is claimed for it. It is not
absolutely certain that the Marquette
relics in possession of the college are
authentic. Father Jacker, who dis
covered them at ST. Ignace, gave his
reasons for believing them. to be so,
and they have been accepted as proba-
bly true"

LEAVES NURSE A FORTUNE.
Miss Coyne, of Scranton, Pa, Is Be-
queathed $4,000 by a For
mer Patient.

Ten thousands dollars a month for
four months nursing is about the rec
ord wages in that line of work and Miss
Margaret Coyne, of North Scranton,
is the lucky recipient. A lawyer in
Scranton. Pa, has informed her that
she has inherited s4oOCG from a for
mer patient whom she had nnrsed back
to health years ago. Her first patient
was DR.. F. B. Smith. who was suffering
from complication of diseases. The
case was one demanding skill and I'M
RENTING attention. Miss Coyne at
tended the sufferer day and night, and
after four months DR.. Smith recovered.
This was in 1894. Miss Coyne soon aft
er came to Scranton to pursue her call
ing. DR.. Smith died recently and left
her half his fortune, which is $4,000.

Arithmetic 5000 Years Ago.

Probably the oldest book for home
lessons in arithmetic was recently un-
earthed in Egypt. The papyrus.
which was in excellent condition,
dates from about 100 B. Chat is,
about 100 years before the time of
Moses. 1t proves that the Egyptians
had thorough knowledge of the ele-
mentary mathematics almost to the
extent of our own. The papyrus has
long heading, Direction How to At
tain the knowledge of All Dark
Things" etc. Numerous examples
show that their principal operations
with entire units and fractions were
made by means of addition and multi
plication. Subtraction and divisions
were not known in their present form,
but correct results were obtained,
nevertheless. Equations were also
found in the papyrus.

INCREASED USE OF PENNIES.
The Little Copper Pieces Now In
Demand on the Pacific
Coast.

"Our reports show" said Mr. Rob-
erts, director of the mint, "that the
demand for pennies this year has been
greater than ever before in the his
tory of the government, and the de-
mand during the last two years has
been greater than at any correspond
ing period. / attribute it to the great
increase in trade and the general pros
perity of the country.
I'VE now are receiving orders from
the Pacific coast for pennies for use
in the department stores there, in
shipments of 1000 and 5000, in great
number, proving that the merchants
out there are marking their goods at
80 and 40 cents instead of 40 and so
cents, respectively, etc., as formerly.
For years the only places on the coast
where you saw the penny were in post
offices, and they were refused, 1 un-
derstand, by the merchants and the
car companies, until their general cir
culation compelled their acceptance.
During the last two months the
Philadelphia mint has struck on an
average of about $4,000 worth of PEN
MES, or 100000 pieces day. While
the demand is supplied in any guam
tity we put them up in bags contain
ing $500. One press will turn out
about 5000 pennies day, and pen
MES, dimes and nickels are struck at
the rate of from 100 to 12o minute
per press. The eastern retail dry
goods stores in the large cities dis
tribute millions of these small coins
among the people annually

BRAVE DEEDS OF SAILORS.
Navy Department Gets Reports from
Widely Separated Sec
lions.

The navy department has received
reports from two widely separated
quarters of acts of heroism on the
part of American sailors.
Capt. Chester. of the Kentucky, for
warded the letter of Rear Admiral
Servan, commanding the French naval
forces in Algiers, speaking in warm
praise of the heroic conduct of two
American b,uejackets. Paul Aus
seresses and Hugh Patrick Mullin, in
rescuing a French seaman in the har-
Dor of Algiers while the Kentucky
was there.
In the other case, Lieutenant Com
mander Jesse M. Roper, of the Petrol,
gives the circumstances of unselfish
conduct on the part of Ell. j. Coke, hos
pital steward; j. d. Fuller, S. A.
Courser, r. Parsons and j. Ward, sail
ors, in risking their lives in eonnec-
ton with smallpox case on board
ship in Manila bay. The patient was
taken on board hulk, and there was
attended night and day by the hos
pital steward. The climate and at
tending circumstances made the act
one of much Danger. The sailors
then served as a funeral party, and
were obliged to undergo a 30-days'
quarantine, and to have all their
clothes destroyed.
Acting Secretary Hackett sent to
each one of the men named by Capt.
Chester and Commander Roper a tes-
timonial of the appreciation of their
services, stating that it merits and
receives the hearty commentator of
the officers

Story Of Profligacy, Bad Debt, and
Renewed Faith in Mankind. (
New Yorker Surprised and Pleased
by a Soldier in the Philippines
Keeping an Oft-Repeated
Pledge to Repay Loan.

Former Judge w. NJ. Z. Olcott, Of
New York, has received a letter from
Pulilum, Philippine islands, that near
ly took his breath away. 1t was from a
soldier who borrowed S1O0 two years
ago, and Mr.. Olcott never expected to
get his money. ''That just shows
that there is something, after all, in
the old saw about bread cast upon
the waters returning after many
days" said Mr.. Olcott. "I'm going to
hand that check down to my children
as sort of reminder that it pays
never to give up confidence in your
fellow man.
1.-TWO years ago an old schoolmate
came to me and said he wanted to
join the army. needn't dwell on the
history of the man further than to
say that he was pretty near what is
styled bum

me one day just before the beginning
of the Spanish war.
Certainly said. How much p
"'Oh, a hundred said he.
Il gave him the money. He served
creditably in Cuba and got a nasty
wound in the leg. When he got back
from Cuba he wanted to go to the
Philippines. I went to Gov. Roose-
velt, who was about to go to Wash
ington on business, and prevailed on
him to get my ne'er do well a COM
mission. The governor got it and my
old friend went to the front again
He had assured me once or twice that
he would pay back the $500, but ]
remembered his many weaknesses
and forgot about his owing.
That's why his letter to-day, con.
tanning a draft for 500, makes me
feel like boy just let out of school
1t strikes me that my old schoolmate
is going to be a man after all. His
father served brilliantly in the civil
war and one of his ancestors fought
in the war for independence. Just as
like as not after all these years he
will take root in the Philippines and
grow straight. He writes me a roll

insurgent is busy all about us, and
we don't lack for action and excite.
