DOCTORS DISAGREE.
Eminent Astronomers Who Are at
Odds About the Temperature
of Mars.

Astronomer Brooks, of Geneva,
thinks Mars is inhabited. Astronomer
Holden, of New York, thinks not. DR..
Holden thinks men would freeze in
Mars. Brooks thinks that DR.. Hold
ems assumptions are not warranted
by the facts. But the two astrono-
mers seem to disagree about the facts,
for DR.. Brooks, who has seen the Mar
tian canals, says that DR.. Holden dis
believes in them, says Harper's
Weekly.
But supposing DR.. Holden to be
right about the frostiness OF Mars,
why should not unfreeZable creatures
live there? DR.. S. d. Mcconnell, in the
Evolution of Immortality" speculates
hopefully about the ability of active
and progressive human souls to build
up for themselves during earthly life
a physical fabric, made of indestruc-
tible ether, which shall survive the
| body of flesh and flourish comfortably
| in frost, flames or water. These in
! destructible bodies would be material
and fit to express the physical life OF
rational souls. They seem to be very
much such bodies as ghosts and spir-
its have always been understood and
expected to have, but DR.. Mcconnell
makes them seem lilielier and more
comprehensive by suggesting that
they be made of Il real substance, and
that the substance is the luminous
ether. He writes III the light of such
recent additions to our knowledge OF
this ether as have come through
the experiments of Struve, Helmholtz
Lord Kelvin, Dolbear, Tesla, Ront
gen and others, and through the work
ings of the "N ray and wireless tel
egraph apparatus.
1t don't really bear on Mr.. Holden
views about Mars being inhabitabl'
to say that ghosts could live there
for he has not been speculating abou
ghosts, but creatures like ourselves
But Mars as a place of residence fo
souls with bodies made of indestruc
tible ether, is more interesting thai
Mars with no one on it at all. More
over, if rational beings with indestruc
tible bodies which can pervade matter
: are scientifically conceivable, modi
fed bodies, not necessarily indestruc
tible, but adapted TO Mars, are cou
; ceivable also.

1t is not always safe to judge

the world. "Befo' de wah' all mem
bers were clean shaven, wore black
frocks and high stocks, beavers, peg
top trousers, and a solemn air of
public Importance privately eX-
pressed. They believed in their
hearts that they were statesmen, and
the world acknowledged them as
such. Dignity was the chief quail
ity, pride their most cherished pos
session. The old-timers, like Morgan,
Teller, Cocllrell, Berry, Proctor and
Daniel, still wear their before-the-
