walls such clouds are said to have been seen.
The air on Mars is believed to be less than
one-fourth as dense as our own. The whole
surface is much fiatter than that of our
earth: there are no large hills or noun
tain ranges. but there is some evidence that
the greenlsh areas are slight depreSSionS,
possibly the beds of old seas from which
the water has all disappeared
thirty years ago announcement was
made of the discovery of the remarkable
canals, perfectly straight dark lines ex-
tending over the orange-colored regions in
every direction, but each one always con-
Meeting at its extremity either with a
greenish area or with another canal. 1t is
said that these lines commonly start from
well marked bays in the greenish areas,
frequently several which extend for hun
dreds of miles come together at a common
center which is marked by a dark region.
Some Of them are found in the greenish
areas also.
The lines first begin to appear as the
polar cap melts; as summer advances they
grow more and more distinct near the poles
and can be traced for greater distance,
but they disappear again with the ap-
proach of winter. 1t is therefore supposed
by many that they are long, narrow strips
OF irrigated country, their existence show
ing evidence of the Intelligent design of
living creatures.
On the other hand. many astronomers
doubt that the canals are so straight and

that their apparent sharpness is the result

that we have no certain proof of the pres
ence Of water or water vapor on Mars and
regard the evidence of any form Of life on

NIGHT RATES NO MORE
TELEPHONE COMPANIES ADOPT
NEW RULE.

Do all your ong-distance telephoning to-
night before midnight If you wish to take
advantage of the night half rates, for d.
rectly after midnight-that is, at 1901 am,
or few seconds earlier, If possible-the
night rates will become the same as the
day rates, by order of the Bell and at
filiated companies, which met In New York
last week and decided on the change
On the immediate lines of the Chesapeake
and Potomac Company the difference Will
not be so noticeable, for its chief long-dis-
lance line Is between Washington and Bal
timore. For service on that line the day
rate for three minutes use is 80 cents and
the night rate %. Hereafter the night rate
will be 80 cents. But the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company owns the
other long-distance lines patronized largely
by Chesapeake and Potomac subscribers.
On those lines the night rates after pm.
have been exactly half of the day rates.
After midnight tonight they will be equal
to the day rates.
This action, 1t was explained at the Of
fee of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company, was made necessary by
the fact that most persons having occasion
to make long distance calls waited until 6
o'clock in the evening when the night rate
went into effect. The result was that calls
became so numerous between and . O'Clock
that frequently the business could not be
handled.

Arthur b. White, chief ruler of Jehu
Tent, No. %, Independent Order Of Recha-
bites. and Patrick MacManus. secretary
of Hope Council, No. 1, Independent Order
Sons of Jonadab. represented their re-
spectiye organizations, the latter advocat-
ing in his remarks a more general feeling
of fraternity and cooperation among all
workers in the temperance field. He said
all anxiety and ambition for the success of
an individual organization should be sub
ordinated to the great cause in which all
are embarked, and hoped that the Good
Templars, Rechabites and Jonadabs would
throw their doors wide open under 1.-THE
good and welfare of the order and extend
invitations to members Of temperance or
ganizatons to visit the lodges and councils
during that portion of the proceedings and
work together for the promotion Of tenn
peraifee.
His remarks were we'll received and
favorably commented on by Chairman III.

marks on his visit to the lodge and en-
bodied some advice therein. Mrs. w. l..
Chiddy's reading Of when John Left the
Farm was listened to with the closest at
tention and ELECTED great applause. 1t was
one of the principal features of the even
ing. Mr. John Foster was called on. but
suggested Chief Lee of Perseverance
youthful experiences and dwelt on the
necessity of intoxicating sobriety. Rev. ].
B. Mclaughlin. an old member of the Good
Templars, confined his remarks to a de-
tense of the church in its efforts to pro-
mote temperance, and resented any insin-
uation that 1t was recreant to its duty In
that respect.
A novel feature of the evenings enter
tainment was amateur vaudeville

Tenleytown. The city delegations We're
obliged to leave at IL pm. and therefore

But yesterday a new client with the same

after he reached Elmira he was compelled
to go to work with a circular saw and that
within the first five minutes he lost his left
hand. He was an absolute novice at that

RESULTS AT ROCKVILLE.
Racing Events and Premiums for
Poultry and Flowers.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
.- ROCKVILLE, Md, August 81, 1907.
That the fair which closed here last even
ing was a success, notwithstanding there
was no pool selling on the races, is under
stood to be especially pleasing to those who
favored the elimination of the betting fea-
lures 1t is construed by them to mean an
Endorsement of the action of the circuit
court IN refusing to grant pool-selling
license and that the fair can be success
fully run without the bookmakers.
The races of the closing afternoon were
witnessed by large gathering. The five
furlong run. which was postponed from the
day before, was first called, and the con-
GLIDING heat was easily taken by Ensiey,

being LOS. The county run, which was
open to horses owned in the county sixty

for the place between Freedman and Chap
lain. the latter getting in the first heat and
the former in the second. The time was
0.51h and 0.51.
The only harness race Of the day was a
special trot or pace for a purse Of 500.

son Of Bethesda, won in straight heats. the
