STRANGE SCENE IN NEW YORK

Street Urchins Restore Fruit Vender's
Scattered Apples to Him.
An interesting scene was enacted one
day last week at the corner Of 9th ave.
nue and 35th street, which, for several
minutes, caused at least 100 pedestri-
ans to forget all about important en-
gagements.
An apple peddler's pushcart. laden
with ripe fruit, had been in collision
with a heavy truck. The truck went
on down the avenue. 7 he pushcart was
overturned. depositing more than bar
rel of apples upon the sidewalk. The
inevitable boys were on the spot.
They'll make short work of that
peddler's fruit" remarked a bystander.
To the amazement of all. however,
the unexpected happened.
THAT was a bad knock. boss; shall l
give you lift?" sang out diminutive
messenger lad.
He at once dived with both hands
into the mass Of apples and proceeded
to pile them into the cart. Two roguish
news lads, who had been watching,
evidently to get their cue from some
other partner in crime. If need be, see-
ing the direction things had taken,
promptly gave their assistance.
The crowd did not diminish until all
the fruit had been safely replaced. Not
lad attempted to purloin single ap-
pie, says the New York Times. but the
Italian. in recognition of the generous
aid given him, dismissed each boy with
a smile and a pocket full Of apples.

 THE pEUkLE OF MARS.
New Convert to Theory That PIanef Is Inhabited--Says Communi-
 cation Is Impossible.

Prof. Samuel A. Harker, occupying g the chair of mathematics and astron. omy in the University of Indianapolis. lately gave out statement that he is a convert to the theories advanced by Sir Robert Ball, Garrett Serviss and others, that the planet Mars is. in. habited, and that it's people are ex. ceedingly intelligent and enterprising but it is impossible to communicate with them.
 Prof. Harler further says, accord. ing to the Cincinnati Enquirer, that "the Martians are a people of stu pendous power and wonderful engi' neering skill Were it possible to sig. nal them, there is little doubt that they would understand and reply, as they arc . race of enormous brain de. veloplnent.'
 Prof Harlzer further adds that in all Of the thousands of years oi the earth's history it's people have not succeeded in changing the face ol the planet to any such extent as the people of Mars have changed theirs, but he sees no way of signaling to them. He does not take kindly tc the theory advanced by Tesla, of cleo tric signals conveyed through the ether, as Prof. Harker belieyesit an inn possibility to develop the requisite energy to tran nsmit the waves so far.

ORIGIN OF ABSENTEE.
It Was First a Harmless Medical Remedy Used by French
 Physician.

Temperance people in Europe were recently much surprised at the discov- cry that the deadly absinthe was orig inally an extremely harmless medical remedy, says the New York Herald.
 It was a French physician who first used it. His name was OrGinaire, and he was living as a refugee at Couvet, in Switzerland, at the close of the eight eenth century. Like many other coun- try doctors at that time, he was also druggist, and his favorite remedy was certain elixir of .absinthe, of which he alone had the secret.
 At his death he bequeathed the for mula to his housekeeper, Mile. Grand pierre, and she sold it to- the daugh- ters of Lieut.. Henriod. They culti- vated in their little garden the herbs necessary for concocting it, and, after they had distilled a certain quantity of the liquid they sold it on ,commis- sion to itinerant peddlers, who quick ly disposed of it in the adjacent towns and villages.
 Finally, during the first decade of the nineteenth century, | wealthy dis tiller purchased the formula, and very soon afterward he placed on the mar ket the modern absinthe, which diff. fers greatly from the old medical rem edy, since the latter contained no al- enAnl and very little ahsinthe
