LIQUOR UNDER BAN.
In Eighty Cities Of the United States
Prohibition Now Rules.


Under the strong tide of prohibition,
which has so impressively demonstrat-
cd Its power In Southern States, the
dry" area in America has been dou-
bled In the last twelve months. Eighty
cities in seventeen States are now en-
forcing prohibition laws on their q
100000 Inhabitants, and Of these eighty
municipalities, thirty three went dry"
In 1907. Some come under general pro-
hibition statutes, as the Georgia cities,
but many Of them have voted dry un-
der the provisions Of a local option
law.
Additions to the list of dry cities
during 1907 include: Alabama-Annis-
ton, Birmingham, Huntsville, Mobile,
Montgomery and Selma. California
Berkley. Georgia-Athens, Atlanta
and Savannah. Illinos-Champaig
Jacksonville, Urbana. Indian Territory
-Durant, Muskogee, Tulso, Wagner.
Massachusetts-Ha Lynn, Wor-
Raleigh. Ohio-East Liverpool Okla
| hOma-Guthrie, Oklahoma City, Shaw
nee, Enid. Tennessee-Clarksvill
Jackson, Knoxville. Misunderstanding
| ton.
Particular watch has been kept on
Atlanta to discover just how the much
discussed Georgia law operates there.
This watch was kept by the Atlanta
Constitution, which did not favor pro-
hibition, and that papers testimony is
| believed to be unbiased.
In special story the Constitution
admits that the elimination of whisky
| has worked revolution in the city's
worst quarter, and as is almost invari-
ably the case, the police records show
that the public is actually saving mon
| ey by the operation Of the "dry" stat
ute. In Atlanta, on January 4, 1907
when the high license law was in eff
\ feet, there were sixty-three police cases
| thirty-two of which were connected
with drunkenness. On January 4, 1908
| just eight days after the dry law Went
| into effect, there were just seventeen
! police cases in Atlanta, not Cne being
! for drunkenness.
These facts will be used in argu,
ments being brought to bear on Con,
gress for legislation to make the Dis
trict of Columbia dry and to forbid
such interstate commerce which will
dump "original package" liquor into
prohibition territory.

During the latter part NOf last week
Brockwayville experienced quite a
shock for town Of reputed strict pro-
hibition. A representative OF the anti
saloon league arrived in that place
from Ridgway during the week, and
after some investigation informed the
police department of the town that
liquor was being illegally sold within
the confines of the city limits.
Naturally the officers became quite
indignant and an investigation was i'm
mediately instituted and as result
a number of arrests were made. A
large percentage Of the population of
the town was subpoened and the pros
ecution went on. One of the defend
ants, it is said, pleaded guilty and the
balance were acquitted dubois Courier.

Martian Life DYING.

A sadder interest attaches to such
existence-that it is, cosmically speak
ing, soon to pass away. To our
eventual descendants life on Mars will
no longer be something to scan and
interpret. 1t will have lapsed beyond
the hope Of study or recall. Thus to
us 1t takes on an added glamour from
the fact that it has not long to last.
for the process that brought it to its
present pass must go on to the bitter
end until the last spark Of Marian
life goes out. The drying up of the
planet is certain to proceed until its
surface can support no life at all.
Slowly, but surely, time will snuff it
out. When the last ember is thus ex-
tinguished the planet will roll dead
world through space, its evolutionary
career forever ended.-Professor Low
ell in Century.

THE MAD DUCHESS.
Lady Catherine Hyde and Her Eeeen-
trieities of Dress.


Lady Catherine Hyde was the third
daughter Of Henry, second earl of
Rochester and fourth earl of Claren-
don, and a great-granddaughte of Ed
ward, the first and famous earl of Clar
endon. - One of the strongest
of her caprices was to be unlike other
people, and she succeeded admirably
in the attempt Bolingbroke hickman
ed her La Singularite;" Horace Wal
pole, more bluntly, 'the Mad Duchess"
This oddity was specially displayed in
her dress. In 1747, after good deal of
Intriguing, she had obtained permis-
sion to appear again at court, and in
1853 Horace Walpole tells Lord Hert-
ford that she presented herself there
in a gown and petticoat of red flannel.
Making all allowance for male igno-
rance on such a subject and Walpole's
tendency to embroider story. 1t is
beyond doubt that she deliberately
courted the peculiar In her costume.
She was fond of wearing an apron and
appeared in one at court after this gar
ment had been forbidden Mt the royal
drawing rooms. Her entrance being
opposed by one of the lords in wait
ing, she tore it off, threw it in his face
and walked on. Beau Nash on SINH
lar occasion took the law into his own
hands, for when she attempted to en-
ter the ballroom at Bath wearing an
apron he promptly stripped it off and
threw it among the ladies' maids, OBJ
serving that none but Abigails ap-
peared in white aprons. 1t was her
fancy as she grew older to disregard
the changes of fashion and to adhere
obstinately to the dress of her younger
days. Her attire at times was so weird
that Lord Cornbury wrote, "She has
been called sir upon the road above
twenty times" ."-Nineteenth Century.

THE MARINERS COMPASS.
Influences That Draw II From Its Ale
glance to the Pole.


glance to the Pole.
Nothing in the navigational equip
ment of a ship has been the subject of
more anxious research or receives
more jealous care than the mariners
compass.
The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and
south is-well, more inaccurate than
even popular notions usually are. Even
under the most favorable conditions
there are only certain places upon the
surface of the earth where the compass
needle does point north and south, and
it is quite safe to say that such condi-
tions are never found on board Of any
ship.
But we must go further and say that
no more unfavorable position could be
found for a compass than on board of
a modern steamship, which is COM
plicated mass of steel, all tending to
draw the compass needle from Its alle-
glance to the magnetic pole of the
earth, warning influences which must
needs be counteracted by all sorts of
devices which hedge round the instru-
ment by an invisible wall of conflicting
currents of magnetism.
And as if this were not enough there
are now huge dynamos to be reckoned
with, producing electric currents for
all sorts of purposes on board. In the
midst of these mystic currents the poor
little compass needle, upon which the
mariner depends for his guide across
the trackless deep. hangs suspended
like one shrinking saint surrounded by
legions of devils.-Windsor Magazine.
