NOT SIGNALS FROM MARS.
lights Observed in December. 1000,
Attributed to Illuminated
Clouds,

While far removed from the popu-
lar notion of signal lights from Mars,
the explanation of the phenomenon
on that planet observed at the Lowell
observatory in December a year ago,
as made by Prof. Percival Lowell be-
fore the Philosophical society, was
little less interesting.
By analogous reasoning he showed
that the PROJECTIONS" were alto
gether dssimilar to projections
which may be observed on the moon
when that body is less than full and
which, he said, are caused by the
sunlight Illuminating the peaks of
mountains or edges of craters, for
the reason that the projections on
Mars as observed on December and
S, 1900, appeared at different places
on the heat equator of that planet,
travelled with great rapidly in the
same northwesterly direction, rose
Go a maximum height of about S 4-10
miles above the surface and disap-
peared, The phenomenon, he said,
was undoubtedly caused by the rap
id generation of clouds at a great
height, which were successfully il
Illuminated b. the rays of the sun as
it was setting on Mars.
In the discussion on the subject,
says the Philadelphia Ledger, Prof.
Snyder, of the Philadelphia observa-
tory, stated that the Russian astron-
omer, Gogovsky, in an article recent
~ published reviewing the physical
conditions under which planetary at
mosphere may exist, markedly con-
firms not only the observation but
the explanation of the Marian Phe-
nomenon offered by Prof. Lowell.

And hear her sweet voice, at the close OF

No sorrow OF childhood her kiss cannot
cure.
Soothing away the pain.
Oh. bring back the voice Of my mother to-

Calling me home once more.

Mother, come home to-day,
AnG comfort me Just as you did In the past,
Kissing my tears away.

Give me the friends OF yore;
Restore the sweet voice that was music TO

A STAGE TRAGEDY RECALLED.
Reasons That ImpelIed the Sad Sui
eide of Walter Montgomery
Many Years Ago.

Clement Scott, the dramatic critic,
is in a reminiscent mood in the Free
Lance-more than 30 years after the
event-throws light. on an old and
mysterious tragedy of the stage, says
the Chicago Record-Herald.
In September, 1871, London was
startled TO hear that Walter Mont
gomery had committed suicide two
days after his marriage at ST.
Georges, Hanover square, on August
30, 1871. The act was Incompetent
sible to all Montgomery friends. 1t
has now been explained. 1t appears
that when Walter Montgomery was
starring" in Australia he fell in love
with a charming girl, who was an
heiress. He proposed to her, was ac-
cepted, but the marriage was strong
ly objected to by the father of the
fiarcee.
The actor, piqued disappointed and
apparently heart-broken. sailed from
Australia to England. On board ship
he was fascinated by another lady,
and he married her directly the ship
arrived at home.
4 few hours after the marriage
Walter Montgomery received a let
ter from the father of the Australian
girl saying that he had relented,
that his daughter was dying of
broken heart, and that he was to hur-
ry back to Australia TO claim his
bride and her fortune.
Remorse, disappointment, despair
affected the handsome actors brain,
and he rushed up TO his room and
put bullet through his temple.
