Visits Planet Mars.

Y LSIUS f'LCL716I WI UTS.
A SYRACUSE, New York, gentleman, who is pres
iden Of the Society for Psychca Research says that
he recently made visit to Mars. In order to SUBJ
stantate his claim he describes the people he saw
their manner of living and several other interesting
things of great value to the student Of anhropology
Considering that this gentleman experienced no
insurmountabe difficulty in visiting the planet Mars
it would that he also could visit the North Pole
with equal facility Just at present the discovery of
the Pole is of paramount importance. He could
easily enlghten the world to whether not this
unexplored portion Of the globe is inhabited. Just
think of the thousands of dollars he would be the
means Of saving! He could tell us of the fate of
Lieutenant Peary, whom the entire scientific
world are anxious to hear from. Such information
is of prime Importance, and it ought to be obtained
easily visiting one of the planets.
But psychical researchers seem to be powerless
to give us desired information Until they can do
this, the public is not likely to consider very ser
iously any claims which they may make. AS yet
psychic force is little understood and therefore, is
considered Of little value by those who do not under
stand it. Perhaps some day it will be possible to re-
alize that which today seems inconceivable

New YORK CITYs famous Chinatown quarter
will soon be thing of the past Where it formerly
had population of twelve thousand, it now has
dwindled down to only six thousand and these are
leaving at the rate Of forty day. The reason for
the hegira is police interference with their dope and
gambling joints, and the excessive rents being
charged for rooms
Chinatown has long been famous resort for
tourists and swell New Workers who were fond of
stunning thru this notorious quarter a means Of
diversion. It was also the scene of many desper-
ate encounter between the various tongs. Perhaps
other locality of equal dimensions gave the police
so much trouble as did Chinatown. Brawls and
shooting scrapes Of nightly occurrence; and it
frequently happened that strangers entered these
quarters with considerable money, we're never heard

it will always be remembered in the history Of New

THE KEYNOTE OF RIGHT EATING

THE KEYNOTE OF RIGHT EATING.
 Man is an omnivorous animal-wheth- CT he was originally intended to be one is outside of the question. In this prac- tical world we have to deal with exist ing facts, and not with theories. Savage races live some on animal food almost exclusively on vegetables, fruits and nuts, according to their environ ment, but civilized man turns to both the animal and the vegetable world for his nutriment, and through a long course of adaptation his digestive or gans have accommodated themselves
 to mixed diet-meat, vegetables fruits, nuts and sweets, even alcoholic beverages in moderation. This word is indeed the keynote of right eating moderation. There is no one class of food which need be selected to the ex- clusion of any other i've are speaking to the normal man, and not to the in- valid, who must be treated dietetically as well as incidentally and while it is possible to live well and preserve health on a vegetarian diet, such @ regime Is entirely unnecessary. It is a greater tax on the digestive organs to extract the needful amount of pro- teids from vegetables than from meat, and even when digested, vegetable proteid is less easily assimilated than that obtained from animal food The COW, the pig, the sheep, the fowl and fish are provided by nature as the con- !! verters of vegetables proteid into ani- nal, and 1t is only common sense for man to leave this task to the lower orders of creation and to take his food in the form best adapted to his needs Good Housekeeping.

Pomeroy, tho TrnfHc Agent, Escapes With Minimum Fine--COurt De- nOunces the offence as Worse Than the Ordinary Vulgar Crime.

New York. Oct. 19.-Judge Holt of the United States circuit court fined the New York Central railroad $1OS,OOO to- day for granting rebates to the Amer icAn Sugar company. Frederick L.. Pomeroy, assistant traffic manager of the railroad, who was indicted with the corporation, was fined $6,OOO, $1,OOO on each count.
 Before imposing the fines Judge Holt listened to arguments made by Austen G Fox and John D. Lindsay, counsel for the corporation, in support of their motions for a new trial and for an ar- rest of Judgment to follow the convic- tion of the defendants on Wednesday, Both motions were denied,
 Pomeroy and the railroad company were each indicted on six counts. The corporation was fined s1SOOO and Pom | eroy 1000 on each count
 The range of possible fines provided by the Elkins Anti Relating law, under which the case was prosecuted, is from $1, 900 to $20,OOO
 A stay of sixty days was granted In which the defence may prepare it's ap- peal,
 SCORED BY JUDGE.
 "Such a violation of the law" said Judge Holt, in passing sentence, ''is much more heinous than the ordinary common vulgar crimes usually brought before the criminal courts. Those are crimes of sudden passion and tempta- ton. These crimes we are dealing with were committed by men of education, business experience, and standing in the community, and as such they should be expected to set an example of obedience to the law, on the mainte- nance of which the security of their property depends.
 ''This corporation received large and valuable public privileges. It was un- | der the highest obligation to treat all citizens alike, and not to grant any unjust discriminations. This was a sec ret crime, the proof of which was diffi- cult to obtain. The law was originally passed twenty years ago. The com plaint of the granting of rebates by railways were frequent and insistent ] Congress passed amendatory legisla- 1 ton, but so difficult was the securing of the necessary proof that this is the first case brought in this court and with the exception of one recently ir Philadelphia, the only one in the east l But few have been tried in the west
