A Great Artist Enraqed.

A1ma-Tadema has told a story Of tho
fate Of two unsuccessful pictures Of
his student days. One Of them was re-
turned unsold by the committee Of the
Brussels exhibition in 1859. The SUBJ
ject was house on fire. with people
rescuing the victims. The artists fell
low students were asked into Alma
Tadema's studio and were invited to
jump through the canvas, the owner
of it leading the way by leaping head
first through the oily flames.
The other unsuccessful effort was a
large sized square picture that came
back again and again to it's creators
easel until at last it was cut out Of
its frame and given to an old woman
to use as table cover.
The picture was praised by at least
one person who appreciated it's excel
lence, so Alma-Tadema used to de-
clare, for the old woman was wont to
remark that it was much better than
those common oilcloth things that al
ways let the water through, as the pic
ture Of Alma-Tadema's making was a
good thick one, with plenty Of paint
on it.-Minneapolis Journal.

The Supposed Life on Mars.

Not only do the observations we have
scanned lead US to the conclusion that
Mars at this moment is inhabited, but
they land US at the further one that
these denizens are of an order whose
acquaintance was worth the making.
Whether we ever shall come to con-
verse with them in any more instant
way is question upon which science
at present has no data to decide. More
important to us is the fact that they
exist, made all the more Interesting
by their precedence Of US in the path
of evolution. Their presence certainly
GUSTS us from any unique or self cen
tered position in the solar system, but
SO with the world did the Copernican
system the Ptolemaic, and the world
survived this deposing change. So
may man. To all who have a cosmo-
planetary breadth of view it cannot
but be pregnant to contemplate extra
mundane life and to realize that we
have warrant for believing that such
life now inhabits the planet Mars

TWO BIG HOTELS BURNED
Fire at Coney Island Causes Loss of
$25o,00o.

New York, July 1O.-Fire which
caused a loss of $250,00O at Coney ISL
and destroyed two large hotels and
for time threatened the destruction
of Luna park, Dreamland and Steeple-
chase park. Fire Chief Lally of Brook
Ign made a flying trip from his head
quarters in an automobile, covering
nearly ten miles in twelve minutes.
He arrived as the flames 1eaped over
to the tower of the Culver line station
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system
and ordered into service the new high
pressure system using salt water
mains. The system worked perfectly
and greatly aided in checking the
flames. Water was thrown on nearby
buildings and Dreamland and Luna
park were deluged to prevent further
spread of the flames. The fire was
under control in two hours and big
force of police is guarding the ruins
from looters. Twenty-Five thousand
persons watched the fire rapidly de-
YOUR the frame structures and saw
many guests in scanty attire leap from
hotel windows. Mrs. Lilly Hennings
was overcome by smoke and was res
cued with difficulty by policeman.

How Long Do Dreams Last?


How long do dreams last? A Ger
man savant is Investigating the mat
ter. But there is scarcely a dolt who
could not give him points and has not
dreamed centuries in seconds. The
dream, it may be stated, comes in the
few seconds before the awakening
and has no relation to time or space.
This is clear enough to the man who
has ever been placed under an anaes-
thetic for a short while and found
time and space eliminated.

A Bio Snowfall.

The heaviest fall of snow that ever
took place in England occurred in 1915.
The snow commenced falling on the
10Th Of January, 1915, and continued
every day until the 10Th of March fol-
lowing. It covered the earth to such
a depth that passengers, both horse
and foot, passed over gates, hedges and
walls, which had been obliterated by
the white sheet. On the 18th of March
1t began to decrease and so by little
and little consumed and wasted away
till the 2Sth of May.
A heavy fall occurred in Scotland in
1920, the snow falling thirteen days
and nights with little or no intermis-
sion.
One Of the heaviest falls on a single
day occurred on the 21st of February,
1852, the snow in some places being
from ten to twelve feet deep.

proprietor Of saloon, was shot and
killed In resort conducted by Mar.

said to have done the shooting, but
whether or not it was Intentional is a
question that the police are endeavor-

According to the story told by the
woman at police headquarters, where
she is confined with two other inmates
of the house, the act was not pre-
meditated, although she admits that
she was alone in the room with Bel.
mont at the time OF the shooting.
Her version Of the affair is that Bel
mont came to her place in an intoxi-
Gated condition and after conversing
for a while in the bedroom of the
woman observed revolver lying on
her dresser. He picked up the fire.

the woman cautioned him to be care

was loaded. The woman tells the po-

Belmont paid little heed to her warn.

weapon from him. In the struggle
that followed between the two the gun
was discharged and Belmont was
killed. The theory the police are
working upon is that the shooting
came as the climax to passionate
quarrel between the man and woman.
