1t is believed that if the Board of

to push the bill pyoyiding an appro-
priation for the neF building through
the present session sof Congress. 1t is
understood that Congressman B. b.

The Board may afso consider the adj

There are several other matters of

THE ROCK-A-BY LADY.

The Rock-a-By Lady from Hushaby street
Comes stealing. comes creeping;
The poppies they hang from her head to her feet
And each has dream that is tiny and fleet:
She bringeth her poppies to you, my sweet,
When she fndeth you sleeping!
There is one little dream of a beautiful drum,
"Rub-a-dub" it goeth;
There is one little dream of a big sugar plum,
And, 10! thick and fast the other dreams come
Of popguns that bang and tin tops that hum,
And trumpet that bloweth!
And dollies peep out of those wee little dreams
With laughter and singing;
And boats go a-1oating on silvery streams.
And the stars peek.a.boo with their own misty
CLEANS,
And up, up and up, where the Mother Moor
beams,
The fairies 60 winging!
Would you dream all these dreams that are tiny
and fleet?
They'll come to you sleeping:
So, shut the two eyes that are weary, my sweet
For the Rock-a-By Lady from Hushaby street,
With poppies that hang from her head to her feet
Comes stealing; comes creeping.

my, and one result is all they
ask-simply to establish communi-
cation with some planet other than our
own. Already, in the study of the
planet Mars, they have observed certain
interesting atmospheric conditions, the
principal one being the climate, which
they claim is warmer than that of our
own globe. This fact leads up to the
topic of the planets inhabitants. Never
is anything favorable printed con-
cerning this question, that the news
papers do not seize the opportunity to
publish more or less fantastic disser-
tations on this subject.
But, to look on the serious side of
the question, is it not strange that no
one has ever pointed out how unphilo-
sophical, from a biological point of
view, is the question, "are there people
in Mars p, In the writings of many
scientists, we find references to the
people of this or that planet, and one
naturally assumes from this that life
from its simple beginnings, has in
each world ultimately developed one
and only one species, more or less like
the human race.
Why such an assumption? Any
person who has studied biology, or
simply looked forth upon the myriad
species of organic beings plants and
animals which our own world contains
would laugh at the assertion. Where
among them all can you find an organ
ism other than man, which, if placed
upon Mars, would be Intellectually
capable of communicating with us?
What success would we have in at
tempting to telegraph to race of
horses or guinea-pigs, for example?
On our own planet, life entered at
an early stage upon two diverse, roads.
The forms subsequently evolved,
though probably of common ancestry,
are nevertheless clearly and naturally
divided into two great kingdoms
animal and the vegetable. But there
is no reason for supposing that the
course of events has been the same in
other worlds than ours.
For example, it may be that on Mars,
plant life only exists. Now suppose
that Mars has supported life longer
than the earth. In such case the
plant forms would presumably have
reached high state of development;
nevertheless, it is rot conceivable that
any plant, however high IN the scale,
could hold communication with the
human race. However, I think it
reasonable to suppose that, if life has
been produced at all upon other planets
than our own, it has assumed forms of
which we know nothing; forms which
transcend our experience, and of which
we are therefore unable to conceive.
Given life, plastic and protean, and the
laws of probabilities, such a result
would seem to follow as matter of
course. Doc.

The spring is the time to treat ca
