Is still undetermined. 1t appears and dlsap-
pears under conditions favorable to precipitation
and freezing on the one hand, and to melting on
the other; but the spectroscope and polariscope
have so far failed to solve the mystery Of its
composition. Satisfactory evidence is lacking
too about the atmosphere of Mars. Evapora-
ton could not occur without gaseous envelope
of one kind or another, and a vehicle for the
transfer of vapor from low ATTITUDES TO the poles
Is also requisite. In the amount and density of
the air there a closer parallel seems TO be af-
forded by the moon, which has next to none
than by the earth. Still, only little atmosphere
is needed to perform the work which is actually
done, and the existence of that even the most
conservative astronomers concede.
The earth will again overtake Mars on the
celestial racecourse in 1907 and 1900. At the
points where those "oppositions" will occur the
orbits of the two planets will lie closer to each
other than they did on the last occasion With
better opportunities for scrutiny than anv
which have been afforded for several years r.
may then prove feasible to add appreciablv to
the present stock of knowledge regarding the
object to which Lowell, FIammarion and Scb
aparelli have devoted much attention.

UNSANITARY PRISONS.

In an address before the Society Of Medical
Jurisprudence Magistrate Ommen recently
called attention to the foul condition of the
station house prisons Of this city. Some of
them. he said. were not only a menace to the
health Of the public, but a contamination to
ITS morals An investigation Of several pris-
ons by The Tribune, as told elsewhere in this
mornings issue, bears out all that the magis-
trate said. In each of four station houses Wis
tied the cells were found to be damp, dark,
filthy and mephitic; and these are said to be
typical Of conditions found in practically all
the other precinct jails in the city.
All Of those visited were built IN Easements,
with thick STONE walls, stone ceilings and
floors, where the sunlight penetrates family,
if at all, and the foul air stagnates. Indeed,
almost every law known to modern SANTA
ton is violated in their construction. Their
drainage is by means Of traps that are hard
ly more than the open ends of sewers. Over
these traps drizzle faucets from which hang
the tin cups the prisoners are expected to
use in drinking. Yet in such holes it is esti-
mated that one hundred and fifty thousand
prisoners are locked up each year. In winter
in many of the station houses the cells become
so cold that, according to the testimony OF
doormen, the prisoners chatter like a lot Of
monkeys; and in the humid weather of sum-
mer the cold walls drip with condensed moist
ure Only n begrimed plank serves for a bed,
and it is used alike by the respectable citizen
who is locked up by accident and the most
loathsome outcast brought thither just as he
was found in the street. No prisoner, no mat
ter how uncean, is ever asked to battle before
being locked up.
Such treatment Of prisoners, guilty or not
guilty violates the spirit Of modern civiliza-
ton The doctrine that nothing is too bad for
the bad belongs to feudal times. The foul sta
ton house prison IS. in TRUTH a survival of the
medieval dungeon. Both were built on the an
cient belief that the way to cure moral ills is
to add to them physical ills-that blighted virtue
needs not the sunshine to destroy the mildew.
but more blight and more mildew. Nowadays
the folly of such reasoning should be only too
apparent Mankind has come to realize more
than ever before the blessings Of sweetness
and light" Diseases once considered incurable
are now healed simply by sunshine and fresh
air The science of sanitation has driven away
oldtime pestiIences and plaques, Builders are
compelled to let more sunshine into tenement
houses, and whole blocks are torn down to make
small parks and breathing spaces"
prison need not be made a place Of espe-
ciaI comfort but it should be clean. 1t should
also be light and airy. It should win the re-
spect of criminal for the law, instead Of max
ing him feel even more degraded. 1t should
help to heal and not contaminate.

THE POLAR leaps" OF MARS.

The report that the first winter snowstOrm
on Mars" was noticed recently at Percival
Lowelrs observatory in Arizona serves as re-
minder Of the many points Of resemblance be-
tween that planet and the earth. Owing to the
slant which their axes have, both experience
change of seasons. When the half of either
body is so inclined to the to receive
more than the average amount of warmth the
other half gets less than the average. A few
weeks ago a change of color in q certain locality
on the Marian surface was seen by one Of Mr..
LowelI's assistants. The phenomenon might
possibly have been due to the influence of vernal
temperatures upon vegetation as it occurred al
most exactly at the time Of the equinox In
the opposite hemisphere from that in which the
transformation took place autumn is now under
way, though as yet it is not far advanced. 1t
NAV be assumed that it was there that the Flag
staff astronomers have just detected evidence
of cold weather In middle ATTITUDES, of course,
q snowstorm at period corresponding to Octo-
Der would be premature, but it would not be
unreasonable in the vicinity of the pole which
was no longer exposed directly TO the sun
Concerning the conditions which control the
climate of Mars there has been much specula-
ton. That planet is further away from the
centre of the solar system and is smaller than
the earth. Perhaps 1t is older. Besides, It ap-
parently has a thinner blanket of gases around
il. 1t is natural TO infer, therefore that It has
parted with a larger share OF its original heat
than our globe and that 1t derives smaller daily
reinforcements. How great the total difference
may be no one say, but supposition that
lower mean temperatures prevail on the sur
face Of Mars than here does not preclude faith
in the possibility that terrestrial weather is
duplicated to some extent the body which
occupies such a conspicuous position in the
southern heavens every evening.
Relative 10 two other requisites TO Marian
snowstorm there is yet much uncertainty. Diff
Guilty has been encountered in obtaining definite
evidence of the presence Of water on our plan

ton forms fits white polar caps may be some

THE FRANCHISE GRANTING POWER

Tammany will probably seek to make some
capital with the grOundlings out of Governor
Higgins's SIGNING the bills comforting the fran
chise granting power upon the Board of Esti-
mate and Apportionment. There is, however
not an intelligent man in the city who does
not perfectly well know the utter incompetency
and responsibility Of the Board of Aldermen.
Recent experience with the attempt to make
II respectable by comforting important powers
upon it only enforces the old lesson which led
us to shear 1t one after another Of the old func-
tons which under former charters it failed
properly to discharge.
The Board Of Aldermen, elected In this city
by districts which for the most part are not
politically debatable is in no real sense repre-
sentative Of the people or responsible TO them.
Let an alderman betray the people ever
outrageously, If he has the favor Of the party
boss he can hardly ever be turned down in
his district The talk about leaving the fran
chise granting power with the Board Of Alder
men and then working for good members of
1t is sheer childishness. The Board Of Estimate
much more really represents the public and
more inteligently responds to public sent
ment than the Board Of Aldermen. 1t is elect
ed by the people of the whole city and Of
whole boroughs and there is a fair express
sion of the popular will concerning each mem
Der 1t is Just much home rule" body
as any which could be created and the con-
splcuty Of the office insures men of superior
character and intelligence
Some prejudice against this measure has
been excited because it was favored by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Why shouldn't it have
been? The railroad people openly and frankly
put their case before the legislature, the Mayor
and the Governor. Instead of proceeding in
cret 10 lobby for the bills TO get its franchises
corruptly without them, 1t did what anybody
with q grievance ought 10 do. The passage of
these bills under the circumstances Is a pre-
MUM on corporate honesty and straightforward
ness and a step in the advancement OF political
morality.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1905-05-28
Martial assertion would be ominous of grave
complications.
THE VESTED RIGHT OF LAWBREAKING.

ANYBODY listening to the remarkable argu-
ments made By ex-Judge Olcott and others at
the Governors hearing on the Amber Dill would
have thought that simple measure a general
license for mob violence against those good law
abiding citizens, the keepers OF Ralnes law
hotels great deal was said about vested
rights and con6scation; but matter OF fact
the only vested right which this bill would con-
hscate is the vested right to commit perjury
and continue in immunity to profit by It.
The liquor law establishes certain require
ments for building in which a hotel is to be
conducted. 1t must have at least ten rooms of
specific dimensions and a dining room ana
kitchen. The building law Of the city requires
q hotel over thirty-fve feet in height to be fire.
proof. The applicant for a liquor license must
make oath that his property meets these require
ments. Yet under existing law, If he secures
the license by perjury in this respect 1t is prac
tically impossible to revoke his license, ana,
armed with the certificate, he can go on con-
Quoting his resort in defiance of law. In equity
a vested wrong can never become vested right
There is no confscatlon in taking away what
never should have been granted. The certii-
Gates never could have been granted to these OBJ
jectionable places If the facts had been known
about them beforehand. The proprletors are
themselves to blame if their premises are not
already equipped in conformity to law that
this measure does not concern them. ana even
those who are delinquent have an opportunity
10 get in line now. Their past immunity can
not be pleaded as a reason for regarding the
necessity of future obedience as hardship.
One of the speakers at the hearing talked
about blackmail if this bill became law. Who
would be blackmaied? Certainly not the law
abiding hotelkeeper What standing has any
other? Does the gentleman avow himself the
representative of hotelkeepers who are bent upon
disobeying the law and are in fear of a meas
ure that makes the exposure of their lawbreak-
ing easier? This bill puts absolutely no new
burden upon hotelkeepers. No honest man now
Obeying the law Will be affected by 1t. He can
show his bedrooms, dining room and kitchen
and his conformity to the building law. 1t is
the perjurer only, who has protested to comply
with the law and not done so, who fears in
spection and the loss of his license.
