MUTUAL PITY.

Mark Twain's humor is not quite
understood by the British working
man. Andrew Lang in a current
English magazine article tells how
he made this discovery. 1t seems
that he had lent copy of 'Ivan-
hoe" to the workingman, who duly
returned it with the candid remark
that he hadn't read it through be-
cause there were so many characters
he couldn't remember them all. The
workman then offered to lend Mr..
Lang a book which he said he was
sure he would like. This proved to
be a volume of alleged "Wit and
Humor," w~ich, so far from anus
ing him, caused Mr.. Lang to feel
sad and discouraged. Mr.. Lang in
his turn then read aloud to the
workingman what he considered a
very choice extract from one of
Mark Twain's best books. But the
workingman smiled in wintry, per-
functory way, and Mr.. Lang knew
that the man, whom he pitied, pit
led him. So they parted in mutual
commiseratiOn.

The Canals on Mars.

The so called Canals" on Mars,
discredited as such Of late years,
are, according to Sir Robert, canals
after all. He says that they are not
the work Of nature, because nature
does not work on straight lines.
These canals, with the assured ex-
istence of arctic and tropical re-
gions, Sir Robert says, are indica-
tions that human life is existent on
Mars. No permanent water and no
river can be discerned in Mars.
What astronomers see are straight
lines, or, rather, lines falling in
straight circles along the globe.
These are undoubtedly canals in a
great state of development. 1t is
not known that these canals carried
off the ice and snow that melted
during the summer season, but it is
a fact that the observation of the
canals is clearer at the season of
the year when it may be assumed
that the snow and ice are melting.
