5. c. gl9-The frst known observation
Of Mars IS recorded IN Ptolemy's
Almgest.
A. D. 16lo-The phases OF Mars were dis
covered by Calico.
I59-The first sketch showing surface
delails was made BY Huygens. He
also suggested rotation OF twenty
four hours.
l5eS-Cassini determined the rotation Of
Mars to take place in twenty-fouT
hours and forty minutes. He also
observed the solar caps, and dis
tinguished on the disk Of Mars, near
its Termination. a white spot advanc-
ing into the dark portion.
1TT7-Sir William Herschel made the first
recognizable sketch of the surface
detail OF Mars.
1Tss-sir William gerschei detected the
variation in the size Of the polar
snow caps. measured the polar COM
preston, and determined the inclina-
ton Of the axis OF the planet to its
orbit.
1855 isoz-schroier discovered the very
dark spots. since shown to be the
Northern and Equatorial seas but
supposed then to be clouds.
1s4o-Beer and Maedier published the
first map OF the planet assigning

rious markings On this map are
indicated the first canal and the first
of the small lakes.
Isss-Secchi made the first study OF the
colors exhibited By the planet
1s62-Lockyer made the first sketch
showing all the forms with which
we are now familiar.
1SS4-Dawes detected eight or ten of the
canals.

And so fhe investigation Of Mars
moves &c gard. Although we have not
reached the place where, as some sup
pose. If we had a flag as large as Ire
land or a grove Of lights as great as
England, we could make them see and
understand, still we are progressing.
If there is life Of the intelligence de-
scribed, 1t Is not improbable that some
method of communication may yet be

from day to day that which was once

likely. Two OF the elements, carbon and
hydrogen, which are more intimately as
ISOLATED with the phenomena OF life here
appear TO be among the most widely dis
trihuted elements throughout the ami
verse and their presence on Mars is in
the highest degree probable. But what
form the progress Of evolution may have
taken it seems wholly impossible 20 con-
lecture It Is true, no doubt, that small
planets like Mars would be fitted for the

for example, about ore-thousandth part
Of the entire number Of years during
which our globe has had an independent
existence, we may fairly conjecture that
the occupancy Of any other world by in
tsliigent beings might be only a very
minute fraction in the space Of the
planets history
What this means is that life may be
there, and 1t Is fair to assume, as Mr..
Lowell and many others really do. that
it is present now. Mars being old. we
know the evolution on it's surface must
be similarly advanced, and it is highly

For forty years human information as

an entirely different view. According
70 him, the snow caps as seen through
the telescope are not composed Of snow

gas. The lakes and seas and canals
are merely color phenomena, such as
may be seen upon the moon to-day. and

whose social life may be enhanced by
material improvements which would
make our own look like the implements

IN fact. the ideas advanced as 20 the
nature Of life upon the fiery planet are
so various and so well-sustained that
one may readily question whether any
thing definite Is known at all.
One Of the most interesting theories
concerning the Martians. and upon
which all astronomers are apparently
agreed, is that IL there is any such
thing as life in the form In which we
know It, It is OF enormous size-three 70

we cannot tell if their bodies

roundings.
There may be less or more
air there, and so their ears
may not register the same
sounds. They even may not
have any ears; their nerves
and muscles under varying
conditions of gravitation may
be very differently constituted.
But ] venture to think that
their eyes must be similarly
constituted to our eyes, since
they live in the same suns

Suspected FOFger Will Prob

Private w. A, Callahan of Company M accused of forgery, is in the hands of the police at Whitehorse, and it is believed that he will waive extradition and come to Skagway on tomorrow's train.
 The speedy capture of Callahan is due to the prompt work of Major Terrett, who wired to Major Snyder, of the Northwest mounted police, at once upon the discovery that he had taken French leave of Skagway and was sus- pected of forgery, and to the prompt- ness with which Majory Snyder re- sponded.
 Callahan was captured at Log Cabin and taken to Whitehorse. There he denied his identity but was positively identified by Lieut. c, P. Bennett, who went to White horse yesterday for that purpose.

LASTING EFFECT
This Evidence Should Prove Every Claim Made for DOan's Kidn y
 PilIs in Alaska

Relief from the pains and aches of a bad back is always welcome to every backache sufferer; but to cure lame, weak or aching back is what's wanted. Cure it so it will stay cured. It can be done. Here's the strongest evidence to prove it:
 w. W. Lee, painter of Willis street, near Placer street, Bedding, Cal, says Hike the majority of men who follow my calling, if the action of the ingredients used in the business was not the primary cause of kidney com pldint, they certainly aggravated 1t when the attacks occurred. l do not want my friends and acquaintances in Bedding to think that Doan's Kidney Pills have radically cuaed an old chronic case of kidney complaint like mine, but this I can cOnscientiOusly say, the treatment undoubtedly did me a vast amount of good. Anything that helps a man whose back has ached so badly that he could not sleep at night, who many and many a time when at work could hardly push brush to and from him without suffering almost un- endurable twangs, is pleased to obtain a remedy which brings relief. To say that Doan's Kidney Pills relieved me, very mildly expresses the amount of benefit l received from the treatment"
