The Planet liars

, The most brilliant object in the
southwestern sky just now, to tho,e
who stay mp late enough at night
to see it, is the red planet Mars.
Next month it will be in opposi-
tion-that is, it will keep the same
hours as the moon, rise at sunset,
reach it's highest point at midnight
and set at sunrise. Then every
body. even the 'early to bed and
early to rise disciples, will he look
ing at it and specializing about
this most interesting Of ali the
planets.
What is known about Mars is a
matter for astronomers. What can
be guessed and specialized, from
that knowledge, is the province OF
the amateur. The astronomers re.
fuse to 90 beyond what they know,
which. apparently, is very little.
The rest of US insist on drawing
conclusions, which are at least in
teresting, though uncertain. Mars
is the only one of the heavenly
bodies within our near observation
on which it seems probable that
life can exist, and Oh which at least
one fact has been observed which
may turn ont to be evidence that
life does exist.

who does not for moment forget the

Venezuela is something different from
that of the Andean ranges farther west

mountains do not rise to.the height In
which the senses are stilled by gran

equator that ruggedness or gloom Of
solemnity which is one feature OF tne

type. which can be enjoyed most wher
we know that man has his abode there

Frankfort. Ky. Feb ga case similar
in many respects to that of Harry X.
Thaw, now being tried in New York, was
the occasion for a new ruling by tho
Kentucky court of appeals today. In re-
versing a judgment sentencing James A.
Ship of Taylor county to life imprison-
ment for killing ]. A. Smith of Camp
bellsburg. for alleged improper relations
with Ships wife, the court holds that 1t
was competent for the defendant to tell
the jury of a confession TO Ship by the
wife regarding her relations with Smith
The confession, he says, was told him
two days before the killing. The court
decides that it was not competent TO
prove her chastity as rebutting the idea
that she would have made such COMICS
sion to her husband. Ship swore HI
killed Smith on sight after hearing tho
story from Mrs. Ships lips. n new
trial is ordered and the case will so on
change of venue, to some other county
than that in which the killing occurred.
