THE DUTY OF MOTHERS
At the First Sign of Disfiguring

Every child born into the world
with an inherited tendency to tortur-

cause Of its suffering, but because of
the dreadful fear that the tlisiiguration
is to be lifelong and mar its future

THE CANALS ON MARS.
Flagstaff Directors Observation
 

Flagstaff Directors Observations
 Through . Great Telescope.
 Boston Correspondence New York
 Times Prof. Percival Lowell, Director of the Flagstaff Observatory, addressed the Society of Arts of the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology the other evening on Recent Researches on the Canals of Mars
 The telescope through which the re- cent observation of the planet was made Is a 24-inch glass and of the most space-penetrating of any in the world, he said. Through the tele- scope Mars was the most superb ob- ject that could be imagined. and there was no woman who would not give up her jewels for the effect.
 Professor Lowell differed with Prof. W. H. Pickering, who announced in 1899 that he discovered forty lakes upon the planet. The speaker said that observations at Flagstaff showed that the dots observed by Professor Pickering were there, but that they were not lakes. The number of the dots had increased to 400, as shown upon the disks. and were recognizable the other day.
 The whole surface of the planet was triangular by lines which were believed to be canals. These lines showed no width, being just as fine as a tele- graph wires appeared against the sky. Experiments with telegraph wires proved that these lines upon Mars could be a quarter of a mile wide. Double lines appeared near the equa- tor and the single ones at the poles
 There was evidence of vegetation as the dark areas showed clearer upon the disk at the season when the vegeta- tion on our earth was at its height. It was in the fall that the areas be- gan to get light.
 The canals started at the Arctic and continued straight down to the opposite pole. He. therefore. believed that these canals were not natural but artificial. With everything beginning at the pole on Mars. the water had to wait until the polar caps wore of. Ob- seryations determine that every oasis was clasped in a double canal. The behavior of these canals could only be interpreted by an unnatural process. Professor Lowell, concluded, therefore. that we were looking upon the work of some sort of intelligence.
 In answer to a question of one Of the members of the Society regarding the atmospheric conditions on the planet Professor Lowell said there was so little air on Mars that astronomers failed at times to understand many of the things presented by the telescopes.

 tice the walls That rise high about the fair City of Whose entrance, unless you are want By Tin Soldier regiments standing on

Modern Journalism
By D. w. McIvER.

cipal stock in trade of modern journal ism from the editorial rooms.
 There Is another side to the question
 which I believe will present much more favorable light and l am free to
 say that the business side of 1t
 speaks much more favorably for mod ern Journalism that did the old condi-
 tions. There never was time in the
 history of Alabama journalism when there was greater prosperity and closer ties of good fellowship and gen
 eral cooperation between employers and employees than that which exists in Alabama to-day; and in all depart
 ments all are vieing with each other to common end. to swell the income and make the paper readable and att
 tractive to its subscribers. There never was a time when more consid-
 eratton was given to the employees by the employers, or vice versa, and the
 employers feeling such an interest m
 the welfare and well being of their
 employees as there exists at this time
 And lastly we all recall to mind the
 most touching and affecting incident
 which recently occurred at the annual
 meeting of the Alabama Press Asso-
 citation at Coden. when the employees of
 The Advertiser sent their representa-
 tive there to present to their editor in-chief. their counsellor and friend,
 Major w. W. Screws, loving cup as ohidAA eOhCh oA tHChT AONe anu jFeu-
 eration and affection for him, and as
 an expression of their confidence and esteem for one. who. in diversity and
 prosperity, always the same. the gem
 tie friend and cheerful adviser. And | this to be followed by all the employees
 who participated in the gift, from the highest to the humblest, assembling around the hearth-stone of the be- loved chief. to christen that loving cup. and to weld and cement anew | the existing brotherly love and friehd- ship. which grows stronger and ! stronger as time rolls on; and who Is | there who will not agree that in mod | ern Journalism there IS much to praise | and to commend?
 So far as my information goes, something akin to the same sort of feeling and evidences of good fellow. | ship exists in other printing offices of | the State, and I am happy to know
 that these conditions do exist in Ala | bama, and cheerfully commend them
 to the emulation of newspaper employ CTS and employees everywhere.
 Modern Journalism then, in compari- son with that of a half and a quarter century ago, will stand the test from the moral and honorable standpoint, and from the business side, and waiv- | ing the change from the editorial to the news columns to meet the popu- lar clamor, there can be truly said not to be much material change, and the
 news paper is the same today as it was | then. the beacon light to lead the peo- pie in the right.
