MARS SEASONS.
Vital In tho vegetative Economy Of
tho Planets Year.

Were Mars not an old planet, cor
roborating by absence of cloud the
general course Of planetary develop
ment our knowledge of 1t would have
been slight To begin. with, it enables
us to mark the permanency in place Of
the planets features and so to time
their axial rotation, by which we come
to knowledge Of the planets day. This
day proves to differ little from our
own in duration, being "a hours 40
minutes long instead of "a hours. Next
1t dlscloses the tilt of the axis to the
planets orbital plane, relation which
causes the seasons Of the year. Now,
the Marian tilt as well as the Marian
time of rotation turns out to be singu-
larry like our own, being, in fact, "a
degrees as against 231a degrees for the
earth. The year of Mars, however, Is
twice ours in length, which, Joined to
great eccentricity of. orbit, gives it d.
versifedly long seasons Thus in the
northern hemisphere spring lasts 1919
days, summer 1873, autumn lat and
winter 1853, while in its southern hemi-
sphere the figures stand reversed.
The numbers have more than aca-
demic Importance, for absolute length
is as vital a factor in a seasons in
1uence as the fact of the season itself,
Much may be brought to pass in twice
the time which could not develop In
the shorter period, and 1t is not little
interesting that precisely this possible
ity actually turns out to be vital in
the vegetative economy of the planets
year-Percival Lowell In Century.

Corporal Punishment.

Corporal punishment formerly had a
wider significance than mere whip
ping. Henry de Bracton, chief justici-
airy of England in the reign of Henry
Ill, divided corporal punishment into
two kinds-those inflicted with and
without torture. The stocks and the
pillory would rank as corporal punish
ment; also mutilations and other grim
tortures when imposed not to extort
confessions, but as penalties, and the
branding in the hand for felony, which
was not abolished until George ILLS
time.
