Snow In Mars.
SAYS Camille Flammarion.

The appearance of Camille Flammarion's
neac work Oh Mars, which was announce d
for recent date, has been retarded by an
extraordinary discovery that throWs new
light on the Marian climate.
Snow has suddenly reappeared on the
North Pole, whereas since Mars has been
under observation SNOW has never fallen 80
late in the year. Camille Flammarion says
to the Journal correspondent:
"This new fall of snoU at period when
the poles should be- C ear shows that the
Marian seasons may be subject to as many
vclsstudes as ours, instead of being actu-
ated by the exceptional cons ancy which ha
h1hertO been attributed to them. THIS
tcoud necessarily react to large extent
on whatever animal or vegetable life nay
eIst on the planet
This discovery seli cause considerable
notifications in my book, which contains
the result of studies for the last twelve years.
My attention has been concentrated prlnci-
pally on the polar regions. As result
am more convinced that as the seasons re-
semble ours, so. while the deposit seen on
the poles IS formed by water similar to thai
on the earth, the carbonic acid theory has
become extremely improbable, as Its com
position would not undergo such sudden
and radical changes ss are visible on tue
Marian polar regions.

To tell the truth, he had lost about all his
influence. We should not treat with him
as if we considered him of Importance. We
should make him feel that he stands on the
same footing with other Filipinos. If zoe
should fine him $40 and send to jail fer
thirty days and set hin to breaking rock it
