The KINGS Pink Shirt,

For the benefit of Beau Brummel,
Jr., and his followers / made special
note of how the first three gentle
men in the land were attired at their
majesty's garden party on Saturday.
The king wore dark blue frock
coat and waistcoat, with dark gray
trousers in a very small and not
very distinct check. He had pink
shirt, with heliotrope satin ascot
tie and ruby pin, lavender kid
gloves, patent leather boots with
white uppers, a deep pink rosebud
as buttonhole and, of course, a silk
hat.
The Prince of Wales wore black

dark gray trousers; his shirt was

The Duke of Connaught was in a

Temperature on 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 tempera-
ture probably obtaining on the Mar
tan surface. but Professor Lowell
shows that by taking all the phe-
nomena into consideration this OBJ
stacle may be removed. Previous
calculations of the temperature have
been deduced solely from the rela-
tive distance of Mars from the sun,
and a recent investigation gave SO
degrees F. as the mean temperature
of the planet. He finally deduces
by taking all known factors into
account that a mean temperature
of AZ degrees F. is obtained.
