"As the collecting OF butterflies
grows more popular" he explained,
more and more butterfly fakirs turn
up. These men, with various anilne
dye powders, color up ten cent insect
into good resemblance to a ten dollar
one. Their work Is hard to detect for
the reason that when the dye rubs off

nothing, since the genuine dust belong

The Aurora Borealis.

The aurora borealis, or northern
dawn, is an electrical phenomenon
which in high northern ATTITUDES, espe-
cially in winter iluminates the skies
with streamers of light. AS the streams
of light have tremendous motion,
they are called in many places the
merry dances" They assume many
shapes and variety of colors, from a
pale red or yellow to deep red or
blood color, and in the northern lati-
tudes they serve to illuminate the earth
and cheer the gloom of the long winter
nights. The connection of the aurora
displays with the disturbance Of the
magnetic needle is now regarded as an
ascertained fact.

MARS SEASONS.
Vital In the vesetative Economy of
the Planets Year.

tne FldnotS 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
teen slight. To begin with, 1t enables
as 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
Il discloses the tilt Of the axis to the
planets orbital plane, relation which
causes the seasons Of the year. Now,
the Martian tilt as well as the Marian
time OF rotation turns out to be singu-
larly 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 eccentrlcity Of orbit, gives 1t d.
versifedly long seasons. Thus In the
northern hemisphere spring lasts 1879
days, summer 1873, autumn lat and
winter 15S, 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 seasons in
huence 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 possibil-
lty actually turns out to be vital in
the vegetative economy Of the planets
year.-Percival Lowell In Century.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Accuracy OF the Exchange In the
Analysis Of Events.

Barring the case OF manipulation,
which carries its own remedy and
which is one Of the evils Of speculation,
the stock market tells the truth. Ten
porarily indications may be misleading,
but II Is eventually shown that its
analysis Of events In correct The 81
lent panic Of March, 1907, was pre-
mise of the panic Of November. Dur
Ing the intervening seven months prices
dropped steadily, showing plainly that
there was a weakness in the financial
and Industrial structure. The utter
foolishness OF blaming speculation for
the downward movement Is obvious.
The stock market with It's daily record
of prices said rs plainly as it was pos
sible to say: Danger! Stand from un-
derr
Something similar happened In 1893.
Bradstreet's for July 20, 1893, shows
that twenty representative stocks fell
on an average 40 points, or more than
so per cent, between January and July.
This mitigated the effect of the panic.
One of the most striking illustrations
Of the cold blooded accuracy of the ex.
change Is recorded 10y Proudhon In
the Spectators Manual, published at
Paris in 1857, I'm which he shows that
