THOSE CRACKS ON MARS.

Prof. Pickering of Harvard with out disputing tine belief that Mars is inhabited, discredits the superior en- gineering skill of the Martians that is involved in accepting the theory of the "canals,' which are supposed to drain the melting snow at the poles of the planet and distribute it over an otherwise arid surface. It appears that the eminent Harvard astronomer, while exploring the lava volcanoes of Hawaii discovered that rich vegeta- tion sprung up along the cracks in the volcanic surfaces of plateaux. Similar cracks are made out on the surface of the moon. The professor inclines to the opinion that those marvellous Mar tian canals are nothing but cracks of the same general kind. So far as its bearing on the question of Martian life is concerned, the effect of this view is the same as if they were in- deed triumphs of engineering skill, in- stead of only natural slits in the sur face; since, with other conditions fa- vorable, the edges would be productive of vegetation even though the balance of the surface of the planet were sterile.
 If the question is asked why tht earth's surface does not similarly show these cracks, since there is no lack O volcanoes, the answer is that it doe'

WOMEN OF NEW HAVEN

Nothing has ever been found to equal Paxtine for curing all catarrhal and unframed conditions of the mucous membrane such as sore eyes, sore mouth, sore throat, nasal and pelvic ca- tarrh. In fact, Paxtine has so many uses in a woman's toilet that it is al- most indispensable.
