WELDING TORTOISE SHE'LL.
Hot Water and High Pressure Does
the Business.

One OF Uncle Sans naturalists at
Washington asserts that tortoise
she'll, which is made from the horny
skin everything the bony case of most
species of turtles, possesses the prop
erty of welding so perfectly that no
trace of junction is visible.
Two plates to be united have their
adjacent edges beyeled In opposite
directions, and are then squeezed 40
gether in a metal press under the ac-
ton Of boiling water.
Imitation tortoise shell is made by
painting horn with paste of lime
litharage and soda. which is rubbed
hoff after drying. This process leaves
1aark spots of lead sulphide in the
horn resembling the nothing of real

surrounding the south pole of the plan ct and smaller one around the north pole Almost the whole southern hem isphere Is of grayish green color, all though there are here and there or ange-eolored patches in the green re- zion. The north half of the planet is almost wholly of an orange color. At first this is about all that the observer will notice. but if he will look steadily for some time and take advantage of moments of good seeing he will become convinced that the greenish and orange areas have perfectly definite outlines and he may even be able to trace out some of the larger divisions of these regions from the map in Fig. 2. As Mars turns on its axis once in every twenty-four hours 1t cannot be told which face of the planet will be pre- sented toward him. The so-called Hour Glass Sea at A Fig 2 IS the most prom fnent marking and may be detected even with quite a small telescope
 It was formerly supposed that the greenish areas are bodies of water. This is now regarded as very improba- ble, partly because they show great variety in their tint and depth of color in their different portions. which is not a characteristic of vast bodies of wa- ter. unless these can be imagined to be shallow, and partly because the sunlight reflected from these green ish regions shows no trace of poiariza-

Water. indeed, seems to be of very rare occurrence on the planet; it's only decided indication is seen as q dark band which borders the polar cap when this begins to melt As the Mar tian summer advances and the polar cap grows smaller tho band recedes with 1t. Thirteen years ago the cap entirely melted away; the band then became quite thin and fAaliy complete fy disappeared, leaving only a yellow surface.
 If the polar caps are really snow or ice the temperature on Mars must De higher than on the earth, since the aarth's ice caps never entirely melt. If this is so, the planet must have soma source of internal heat, for 1t receives somewhat less than one-haH the lisnt and heat from the sun that we do. 1t Is much smaller than the earth, only 4.ao0 miles in diameter, and it's skies are always very clear.

No one who studies the face of the sky on the clear evenings Of autumn can fall to be struck by the delicate beauty of the summer censtsllattons- Nest wonderful of all is the Milky Way, now a broad. faint. silvery afcn of innumerable stars, which in theeariy evenings of autumn passes through the very highest point of the heavens.
 Toward the south Is the faint httte compact group of the Dolphin, with the beautiful Northern Cross above It. while nearby there shines out the mag nificent Vega, the star toward which our sun is ceaselessly rushing through the infinite regions of space, carrying the earth and all of the other planets with him. Though we are pursuing this journey at the speed of eleven miles second, 70 that at the end of each day we are almost one million miles nearer the star than VIC were at its beginning, yet at least one million years will elapse before we overtake and drift past this great sun Were the life of man on the earth not so short, how wonderfully would he sec the face of the heavens change as he passed through our universe of stars.
 The Great Dipper, the Northern Cross and even the Milky Way itael& would appear to take new forms as he passed on and viewed them from a different direction. and as he drew near the blue star Vega, a sun enormousiy larger and hotter than our own, it would shine out with extraordinary brilliancy.

 The lines first begin to appear as the polar cap melts; as summer advances they grow more and more distinct near the poles and can be traced for great CT distance. but they disappear agaln with the approach of winter IL is therefore supposed by many that they are long. narrow strips of irrigated country, their existence showing evil dence of the intelligent design of liy- ing creatures.
 On the other hand. many astronomers doubt that the canals are s9 sfff and so artfffcfAl in appearance as they have been described. Many skiilfulob- servers with the largest telescopes de- scribe them as rather fndistinct shad- ings and believe that their apparent sharpness is the result of an optical H. fusion. They also point out that we have no certain proof of the presence of water or water vapor on Mars and regard the evidence of any form of life on the planet as so far wholly fncon-' elusive

Runking with Roosevelt.

When President Roosevelt made his
recent trip to indianapolis and Ian
sing, one Of the press associations
sent along a reporter who had never
been out with a Presidential party be-
fore. The reporter was nervous and
much afraid some of the other press
representatives would scoop" him on
some of the incidents of the trip.
He happened TO be away from the
train when, at one of the stops, an old
man, who claimed the President had
bunked with him out on the plains.
came up to shake hands. When the
reporter got back he heard the story,
but he was a little suspicious of It,
and he summoned up all his courage
and went in to ask the President about
It,
rs it true that you bunked with that
man who was brought up to the train,
Mr.. President he asked.
why, yes" the President replied,
