IN FAR orr MARS.
People Of Planet Hoarding Every Drop
of Water.

While the people on the planet Of
Mars are supposed to be vastly super
ior in every way to the inhabitants
Of this earth, according to Prof. Lest
er F. Ward, of Brown university, they
have only about 100000 more years
to live, while the people of this world
are only beginning their allotted
space of 24,OO0,000 years.
Thirst will kill the Martians, the
professor says, and even now it is dry
time perpetually up there. Most of
the waters that once covered every
thing have vanished in the same way
that this planet is all the while losing
hydrogen, one of the two components
of water. This process has proceeded
so far on Mars that most of the liquid
refreshment Of its inhabitants, assum-
ing it has such, is confined to narrow
circles about the two poles. 1t is
made available for the uses of the
Martians only by means of an. intri-
cate network Of canals.
On Mars we can, as it were, see
with our own eyes a race of vast an
tiquity and supreme wisdom, clinging
desperately to the orb that bore it.
half gasping for breath, and boarding
every drop Of its precious water, but
doomed in the relatively near future
to face the lingering death of dying
world
This gloomy picture, Prof. Ward
says, is in store for the people of this
earth, but there is no need of worry at
the present time, as it is 24,OOO,O0O
years distant.

contribute much toward the shaping
of a career but do not wish TO judge
the mother harshly.

her mother was pleased with the at

it at the table at which Thaw's law

Il would suggest that in the future
when Mr.. Hartridge gives away docu-
ments or papers belonging to a client,
he should be more careful in seeing
what goes out of his hands
Mr.. Hartridge objected and Jerome
replied that Delmas charged that the
mother had given away Evelyn's dairy.
Let me say" Jerome continued,
that this book was given to me by the
police Of the city of New York"
He then read the several passages
