general manager of the Central Cali
fornia Traction Company. recently,
when n nervous and excited Ger
man fellow dropped In to be barber
ed. He was very nervous indeed.
l suspected that he wanted to catch
train. At any rate, he was so
nervous that he couldn't keep his
seat. He began pacing up and down
the floor. waiting his turn, and as
this did not seem to calm his nerves
he stepped outside and began pacing
up and down the sidewalk. He
came back in q moment and discov-
cred, much to his horror, that some
one had got in ahead of him and
had taken the first vacant chair.
The nervous man stalked up to the
head barber bIusteringly and said:
"'If a man comes in und goes
oud, has he vent?'
THE head barber looked at him
searchingly and replied with dig
nifty and emphasis:

Temperature OF Mars.

Hitherto the chief obstacle to the
belief that Mars is habitable by any
such beings as inhabit the earth has
been the extremely low temperature
probably obtaining on the Marian
surface. but Professor Lowell shows
that by taking all the phenomena
into consideration this obstacle may
he removed. Previous calculations
of the temperature have been de-
duced solely from the relative dis
lance of Mars from the sun, and a
recent investigation gave 33 degrees
Fahrenheit as mean temperature of
the planet. He finally deduces, by
taking all known factors into ac-
count, that a mean temperature of
At degrees Fahrenheit is obtained

NIississippi's Main Outlet.

1t is announced that the titanic
public works in progress of construc-
ton by the United States Govern
ment at the Southwest Pass of the
Mississippi River are in a most IA
Vorable state Of progress. This IS
the main mouth or outlet of the great
river, and is being treated with Jet
ties in the same way as was the
South Pass some thirty years ago.
1t was then proposed to open South
west Pass, but the Government would
not consent to it, and required that
the experiment be tried on South
Pass, the least important of three.
The plan of operations was to narrow
the pass by jetty walls and thus force
the current to carry out the mud
and dig out the channel by it's in
creased velocity and force. Complete
success crowned the work, which was
undertaken and carried out under
heavy forfeits by the great engineer.
James b. Eads. The success with
South Pass, where channel of thirty
feet was secured, has encouraged the
operations at Southwest Pass, where
from thirty-f1ve to forty feet of wa
ter is expected. 1t is reported that
all the submarine work has been
completed and the superstructure
only remains to be done. This will

The Smallest or All Fish.

The most diminutive vertebrate
creature in the world is said TO be
a small fish caught In a mountain
lake i'm the Luzon region OF the
Philippines.
The largest OF the species is less
than an inch long, hut its smallness
may be best gagged by the fact that
it takes about 5000 of them TO make
a pound. Although so tiny, however,
the fish, which is named sinarapan,
is an important article of diet among
the Philippine natives. Obviously
1t is too small for any net and is
caught in course muslin sheets.
The fish are prepared by being
mixed with pepper and other spices
and then dried in the sun. They are
a great native delicacy.
