SCIENCE NOTES.
Chief Moore of the United States
Weather Bureau has bought large
fruit farm out in the mountains of
Maryland. May we hope he will have
better success with fruit raising than he

The ancients regarded Mars, the plan

an opera glass This will be the
most favorable view for fifteen years.
