Fire Department a Surprise.
Chief Otto Gramm Of the fire depart
ment. of course, steered the visitors to
the neighborhood of the fire station at
Third and Custer streets, where an
alarm was turned in and the boys
made a hitch and a getaway. Several
members of the Boston party expires
sed delight at this expertness, one
gentleman enthusiastically informing
the chief that it was better than the
Boston department could do in getting
out after an alarm. There is hardly
any holding Captain Kuhn, Engineer
Ferber and Driver Fisher to mere

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

OcdTnSS8 CaHnoI De NuTSo
By local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional rem
edies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining
of the eustachian tube. When this
tube is inlamed you have a rumblins
sound or imperfect hearing, and wheo
it is entirely closed, deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
OF ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

BATTLES IN THE AIR.
One Possibility of the Development of
 Aerial Navigation.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 Development of aerial navigation Is forcing all nations to act. Recent tests have demonstrated the practicability of the airship, and now a new gun must be invented with which to protect cllies' forts and ships.
 "Airships will do more than any oth- CT agency I can think of to make war unpopular" said a member or the United States balloon corps recently. "Fortify every inch of the frontiers and coasts with the heaviest artillery, arm and mass the entire population behind them, and you will not be aDle to repel the enemy who flies high Tn the air and drops dynamite on your
 impregnable works and multitude of soldiers Navies, mine strewn chan nels, any number of 16-inch guns, would be useless in protecting any or our coast cities agains tan air squad ron set loose from ships out at sea.
 Not only this, but an airship can put submarine torpedo boats out or commission very quickly. From pal loon one may see to a conslderaple depth in the water. Then 1t would De only necessary to drop few projec- tiles on the submarine, and where would it be? And 1t would not be able to shoot back" Hudson Maxim Tn ventor of maximite and stabilize, lore sees that immediately one belligerent prepares balloons and airships Tor at , tack the other will have them aiso'
 ITO counter is the rule in war as well as in boxing" said he. Armed with light rapid fire guns, these arr ships would meet and fight each other in the sky. Should some escape and succeed in getting above the enemy works with dynamite the damage they would inflict would be only local. me area affected disastrously by the ex- plosion of 300 pounds Of dynamite would be about 500 feet.
 If hundreds of airships, carrying tons of dynamite, were to pass our coast defense we would nave aerial souadrons to intercept them before they could reach our cities and do any great damage. But supposing we did not. we have mortars that can lire at an angle of 45 degrees, and the ar sh ips could not be always overhead. At some time they could be shot at, ana a shrapnel bursting near an airsh1p or a balloon would bring it down.
 "Whenever we make new ehslne of war we make another to destroy It. Thus after the torpedo boat came ihe torpedo boat restroyer. As soon as ar ships are used in war there will be airship destroyers to meet them Tn their own element. Reliance Will not be placed on the guns below on laho'

There Are No Canals On Mars.

Prof. N H. Pickering in Harper's Mag
 azine for January.
 Leaving aside the older and now gen. orally discredited explanations that the canals are gigantic water channels, that they are cracks in a universal covering of ice. and that they are grooves cut by colliding asteriods, we will turn to the explanations held as more probable by the astronomers of the present day.
 Much the oldest of these considers them to be caused by narrow ditches, which, crossing the desert regions of the planet, furnish water to vegetation growing along their banks. It is these comparatively broad bands of vegetation, and not the narrow water channels themselves, which are visible In our telescopes The chief advocate of this view at the present time is Professor Lowell, who has adopted 1t as the foundation of his theories of Mar tian civilization serious objection to this hypothesis is the difficulty of forcing the water through the canals for thou sands of miles, over a comparatively level country. Professor Lowell gets over this difficulty by stating that it is pumped through them artlficially. Many astronomers recoil from an artificial ex- planation, where it is possible to account for the phenomena observed by any nat ural method
 The difficulty of transporting the water is further enhanced If we consider the fact, which is generally admitted, that the amount of atmosphere we find on Mars does not exceed one-quarter the quantity per square mile of surface that we find upon the earth This view is based largely on Professor Campbell 5 spectrosopic investigations, confirmed by 7 nlao witt whirh " tho tails of the planets surface
 Since gravity upon Mars is but three eighths of what 1t is upon the earth, the atmosphere pressure on the Martan sur face cannot exceed three thirty-seconds of our own, or 7l millimetres of mer- curry. Under this low pressure water bois at 113 degrees Fahrenheit. If the amount of atmosphere on Mars is only one-tenth as much as that on the earth. which Is highly probable. the boiling point of water upon the surface of the planet would be reduced to S4 degrees Fahren- heit That the daylight temperature of the surface does not differ greatly from our own, we know by the rapdity with which the polar ice-caps disappear on the approach of summer. It would, therefore, seem that the evaporation of water from the surface must proceed with extraor- dinary rapidity, and the difficulty of transporting it through canals, and sup plying sufficient for the needs of vegeta- ton upon the way, must be accordingly greatly enhanced.
 Indeed, 1t would seem necessary to sub etitute gigantic waterS mains for the ca nals, with a most extended system of supplementary piping. The amount of power required to pump sufficient water to irrigate anywhere between 100 0O0 and 100000 square miles of surface, through such system of piping. may be left to any competent hydraulic engineer to compute, with the added statement that most of the water is to be transported to a distance exceeding 1000 miles.
