Marian Life.


Whatever it's actual age, any life
now existent on Mars must be in the
land stage of its development, on the
whole a much higher one than the
marine, writes Percival Lowell in the
Century. But, more than this, it
should probably have gone much fur
ther If it exist at all, for in its evolV-
ing OF terra firma, Mars has far out
stripped the earth. Mars surface Is
now all land. Its forms of life must
be not only terrestrial as against
aquatic, but even as opposed to terra
Queous ones. They must have reached
not simply the stage of land dwelling
where the possibilities are greater for
those able to embrace them, but that
further point of pinching poverty
where brain is needed to survive at
all. The struggle for existence in
their planets decrepitude and decay
would tend to evolve intelligence to
cope with circumstances growing mo-
mentarily more and more adverse.
But Furthermore, the solidarity that
the conditions prescribed would con-
duce to a breadth of understanding
sufficient to utilize it. Inter-communi-
cation over the whole globe is made
not only possible, but obligatory.
This would lead to the easier spread
ing over it of some dominant creature
especially were this being of an ad-
Vanced order of intellect-able to rise
above its bodily limitations to ameli-
grafton Of the conditions through ex-
ercise of mind. What absence of
seas would thus entail, absence of
mountains would further. These two
obstacles to distribution removed, life
there would tend the quicker to reach
q highly organized stage. Thus Mar
tian conditions themselves make for
Intelligence.

places given over 70 providing for the
very young discloses the fact that
there are styles as distinct as those FOR
girls and their mothers. To begin. we
will first notice the headgear for the
small boy. Tam-o'-shanters are much
liked for boys under six and seven.
These nearly all have some sort OF en-
blem embroidered upon the crown. par

the tams have soft crowns, Just the
kind the boy can pull down into any

There are many regular Scotch caps
Rob Roys they are called. These are
made Of anything, almost the prefer
ence being some dark cloth. There are
the little ribbon bow and ends at the
back and the ''wee bit rosette" at the
left side, with the stiff little heron
quill. This style is most suitable for
the young men Of six and seven, and
they are and always were jaunty and

band OF plaid ribbon, a clan plaid,
stitched along the brim, and they are
pretty, but the average boy would pre-
fer less color.
Soft felt hats for boys OF, say, from
eight to fourteen are shown. and a few
derbies and polo caps. Polo caps are
just the thing for active boys; but, un-
fortunately for the boys, the mothers
buy the hats and do not consider polo
caps dressy enough.
Pants for small boys may be OF two
kinds, gathered at the knees or made
snug. One boy told me that the tight
ones were mo good, for they don't let
you have a bit OF fun and your mother
is always at you about keeping them
whole" So it is to be supposed that
the boys like the looser ones best.

Richard Lorio of No. PASS North EIgh-

1893 Glenwood avenue, Philadelphia, ar
rived home yesterday. after an adventur-
Gus trip as far as Baltimore. They had IN
tended to go further, possibly as far as
the mountains Of Virginia. where they
expected to shoot bear and Indians but
they were picked ~ by the, Baltimore
police before they could carry out their
plans and taken back to Philadelphia.
The boys. who are about fifteen years
Of age, ran away from home last We'd
nesday and It Is charged that Gibbons
took two watches belonging to his father
and these furnished the money with
which the lads procured their outfit which
consisted Of a Winchester rifle. bowie
knife, a half hundred rounds Of cart
ridges. a haversack for carrying cooking
utensils, a bag of salt navy revolver
holster without the revolver, an axe. a
kettle containing almost a pound Of
rough and ready chewing tobacco, and
a large red blanket.
Stopped in Wilmington
The first stop made by the boys was in
wilmington Here. it is said, they dis
posed of one Of the watches and procured
a part of their outfit. The watches wore
valued at 500 but the lads only realized
SO on both, the other having been dis
posed Of by them in Philadelphia before
they started out
From here the boys proceeded by boat
on the Ericsson from Delaware City to
Baltimore. They left the boat at Balti-
more and were picked up in that city on
Saturday
The local police have received no word
from the Philadelphia authorities to look
up the valuable watch sold by the young
sters in this city.

DIOCESES MAY CONSOLIDATE
Some Talk Of Uniting the jurisdictions
of Delaware and Eastern Shore.


The merging of the Diocese of Delaware
and the Diocese of Easton is being dis
cussed by Episcopal churchmen in con-
nection with the election Of a bishop to
succeed the late Bishop Coleman. The
merging Of these two dioceses was con-
siderod in 1919 and again % years ago. The
matter cannot be brought up at the spo-
clal convention TO be held February ls'
but may be considered at the regular con-
vention next June. Should the merger be
accomplished, an appeal will be made to
the general convention TO be held in 1910
to ratify the consolidation. In that event
the bishop to be elected next month would
act as bishop coadjutor to Bishop Adams,
Of the Easton diocese, and would be in
line Of succession as bishop Of the con-
solidated diocese.

Investigate Pear Right.

The matter of the pear blight ID one
that is causing considerable interest
among the fruit gI overs in the valley.
aud no one ia taking greater interest
in the matter of solving the problem
than T. L. Merrick Of Medford. Mr..
Merriek is carrying on a number OF
experiments regarding pear blight
and is spending great deal OF his
time in the study OF it.
Mr.. Merck says that he has demon
strated to his own satisfaction that
pear blight is caused by weather con-
ditions aud not by imported germs
that are carried from tree to tree, as
is claimed by the government. When
a tree is heavy with sap and 1t is ex.
posed first to cold and then to heat,
the the sap sours, and in this way q
germ is set at work which is known
as the pear blight germ. The fact
that the blight always appears on the
tree where the sap is the heaviest and
not in different spots wherever bird
or bee might alight upon the tree,
shows that the theory advanced by
Mr.. Merrick Is reasonable, in spite OF
the fact that medical men say that 1t
is impossible.
1t is now advanced as a theory that
ia the human body there are mum
her of friendly germs which, under
certain conditions, become danger
Gus. Thi. is thought to be, In a way,
the manner In which the pear blight
germ operates.
As long as the conditions are favor.
able che germs are harmless, bni
under certain climatic conditions the
blight makes itself manifest.
The government officials claim that
the matter is so foolish that they will
not take the time to send a man to
this section of the country to meet
Mr.. Myser. They may be shown they
are mistaken.
Mr.. Merrick Is we'll posted upon the
subject and he is making every en-
deavor in his power to arrive at the
true conclusions in the matter. Med
