.cANALs" OF MARS.
Lines on Charts May Be Due tc
Physiological Influences.

Although the planet Mars is not
now well placed for direct scru
tiny, some of the questions excit'
ed by past observations are still
provoking discussion. In Knowl.
edge, a periodical founded by the
late Richard Proctor, two astrono-
mers give reason for regarding
with skepticism most of the talk
about canals" One of the writ
ers is NJ. Antoniadi, an assistant
of Al. Flammarion, and the other
is E. Walter Maunder, at one time
president of the British Astronom-
ical association. While cOnced-
ing that a limited portion of the
linear markings have an objective
reality, both of these writer's give
reasons for thinking that the ma
jority of them, as charted by
Schiaparelli and Lowell, are NOT
genuine.
For, one of the objections now
offered the astronomers are in
dcbted to an English amateur, Mr..
Green. He pointed out some time
ago that in drawing the vague
boundary between two areas of
slightly different color, gray and
orange, there was Il tendency to
emphasize unduly the contrast
and to make the border darker
than it should be. Following up
this hint, NJ. Antoniadi has exam
ined Schiaparelli's charts, and
finds that the distinguished Ital-
ian has intensified the shading in
a large number of such places. He
is convinced that fully one-half of
the lines which have been intro
duced into the most reputable
drawings of the Martin geography
are the product of physiological in
huences alone.
Mr.. Maunder brings to bear on
the subject another class of tes-
timOny. Experiments have been
made with a number of selected
school children. Charts which
purpOrted to represent the sur.
face of Mars, but which contained
no Canals" were hung on a wall
to be copied. Almost invariably
lines were put into the drawings
which had no precedent in the
originals. Some of these were in.
PRODUCED as borders to family
colored and indistinct tracts, thus
lending partial confirmation to
Mr.. Green's theory. Others were
drawn between well defined spots.
Finally there was a general dispo-
sition to connect with straight
lines microscopic markings which
had been put into the charts with
studied irregularity. This last
fact derives additional signif-
canoe when it is learned that at
least two canals" usually repre-
scented as absolutely continuous,
break up into a series Of dots I'M

Strange Creatures Said to Exist In
Alaskan Waters.

miraly island, Alaska, last sum-
mer, says a writer, my attention
and the attention of my fishing
crew was almost daily attracted
to a large marine creature thar
would appear in the main channel
of Seymour canal and our immedi-
ate vicinity. There are large num-
bers of whales of the species ror-
quail there, and the monster
seemed to be their natural enemy.
The whales generally travel in
schools, and while at the surface
to blow one would be singled out
and attacked by the fish, and n
battle was soon in order.
1t is the nature of the rorqual to
make three blows at intervals of
from two to three minutes each,
and then sound deep and stay be-
meath the surface for 80 or 40 min.
utes. AS a whale would come to
the surface, there would appear
always at the whales right side
and just above where his head
would connect with the body, a
great, long tail or fin, Judged by
five fishermen and a number of In
dams after seeing about Is times
at various distances to be about
"a feet long, p feet wide at the
end, and tapering down to the wa
ter, when it seemed to be about
Is inches in diameter, looking very
much like the blade of the fan of
an old-fashioned Dutch windmill.
The great club was used on the
back of the unfortunate whale in
such a manner that it was a won
der to me that every whale at
tackled was not instantly killed.
Its operator seemed to have per-
feet control of it's movements,
and would bend it back till the end
would touch the water forming a
horseshoe loop, then with a sweep
it would be Strengthened and
brought over and down on the
back of the whale with a whaclI
that could be heard for several
miles. If the whale was fortunate
enough to submerge his body be
fore the blows came, the spra,
would fly to a distance of 100 feet
from the effect of the strike, max
ing a report as loud as a yachts
signal gun.
What seemed most remarkable
to me was that no matter which
way the attacked whale went, or
how fast (the usual speed is about
IA knots that great club would
follow right along by its side and
deliver these tremendous blows
at intervals of about four or five
seconds. 1t would always get in
from three to five blows at each of
the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The
whale would generally rid itself
of the enemy when it took its deep
sound, especially if the water was
40 fathoms or more deep. During
the day the attack was always off
shore, but at night the whales
would be attacked in the bay and
within 400 yards of the fishery.
81 do not know of any whales be-
ing killed, but there were several
that had great holes and sores on
their backs. Questioning the In
dams about it, l was told that
there was only one, that it had
been there for many years, and
that it once attacked an Indian
canoe and with one stroke of the
great club smashed the canoe
into splinters, killing and drown
ing several of it's occupants.

recommends lions for the bestowal of
medals of honor and the granting of
certificates of merit" explained an of
ficer of the army now stationed in this
city, reports the Washington Star.
Medals of honor, authorized by the
act of congress approved March 3, 1868,
are awarded to officers and enlisted
men in the name of congress for par
ticular deeds of most distinguished
gallantry in action.
Recommendations for award of
medals must be forwarded within one
year after the performance of the act
for which the award is claimed. Com
manding officers are required to thor
oughly investigate all cases of recon-
mendations for congressional medals
arising in their commands, and indorse
their opinion upon the papers to be for
warded to the adjutant general of the
army through regular military chan
nels.
''Nledals of honor are not awarded to
tinguished bravery or conspicuous gal
lantry which shall have been mani
tested in action by conduct that dis
tinguishes a soldier above his COM
rades, and that involves risk of life.
''When any enlisted man of the army
shall have distinguished himself in the
service, the president may grant him
a certificate of merit, on the recon-
mendation of the commanding officer
of the regiment or the chief of the
corps to which such man belongs
Recommendations for a certificate
of merit must originate with an eye
witness, preferably the immediate COM
handing officer.
"a certificate of merit granted to an
enlisted man for distinguished service
entities him, from the date of suchse
ice, to additional pay at the rate of
two dollars per month while in the
army, although such service may not
be ontinuous."

mission liberated 5000 black bzsE
there was a howl from hundreds, who
feared that the bass would destroy
the young shad. But the commission
ers have demonstrated that the bass
has no special appetite for shad. On
the contrary, the bass prefers several
other kinds of young fish, and the
liberation of the bass has proved to be
highly beneficial in the lakes and ponds
where distributed.
1t is surprising how few people
know the names of the various fish
foods. The federal fish commission
is doing a good educational work in
teaching people the names of fishes;
a task which has been found to be ex-
ceedingly difficult. Different names
are often given to the same fish, in
different localities. For example,
take the catfish family, or siluridae.
