WHAT MARS is NOW EARTH
WILL BE IN MILLION YEARS
FRENCH ASTRONOMER SAYS WE
ARE FAR BEHIND
Camille Flammarion Believes Martians
Have Reached Stage of Develop
ment Undreamt of on This Planet
So Far, but We May Equal 1t

PARIS, Jan. 6-Camille Flammarion,
the famous author and astronomer, in
an interview In one OF the Paris pa
pers, draws an extremely attractive
picture of life in Mars. After point
ing out that no one can predict what
weather Paris will have next week
while it is known 70 am utmost GER
tainty what kind of weather Mars will
have a fortnight in advance, Flamma
rion goes on to say that there are
many advantages in favor of the Mar
tianS.
First of ALL he says, it would he diff
fcult for any human species to be less
intelligent than ours, seeing that we
do not know how to control ourselves.
A second reason is that progress Is AN
absolute law which nothing can resist,
and as the inhabitants of Mars are
older than we are they may represent
what we shall he in several million
years. A third circumstance in their
favor is that they are in a better po-
sition than we are to free themselves
from the heaYiness of matter. Mar
tians weigh less and there years are
twice as long as those on earth.
Finally. climatic conditions on Mars
appear to be much more agreeable.
Flammarion declares the hypothesis
that Mars is inhabited by an intelli-
gent race, much superior to our own
is growing stronger every year as as
Economical observations become more
and more precise.

CAT TRIES TO DROWN ITSELF
London Man Tells Strange Story to
Prove That Animals Commit Sui
eide When Despondent
Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, Jan. 6-Do animals ever
commit suicide? This point is raised
by correspondent who writes to the
Daily Mail as follows: "A small tabby
cat i'm our possession recently devel-
oped an affection of the eyes which
evidently caused it great pain. We did
what we could, but pussy's eyes con-
tlnued to give trouble, and it wandered
about the house in a peevish, irritable
frame of mind rejecting all affection
ate overtures.
"One day one of the maids left a
pailful of water at the foot of some
steps leading to the garden. Two mem
bers of the family saw pussy deliber-
ately walk down the steps and straight
into the bucket, and to all appearances
calmly resign itself to drowning. 1t
was rescued, dried and set in a basket
by the fireside to he warmed back 10
a more reasonable view of life.
80 long as watch was kept upon it
pussy staid by the fire. The moment it
was relaxed it again walked into the
bucket of water. This time the cat
certainly would have drowned had it
not been observed in time. The fact
that it deliberately went twice to the
water would seem to Indicate that even
tabbies can tire of life and wish to
put an end to an existence which be-
comes more OF a burden than a
pleasure"
