Vc had the best chance Of studying
tha colors OF the condor head. The bill
was horn color. and the rcd skin Of the
head extended down. covering It about
halfway. The legs were tan, but on
each knee was a patch Of red. On the
breast of each bird the skin was blood
red and could be seen occasionally
wncn the breast feathers were spread
ana the birds were preening. Both had
light colored wing bars, and the prl-
maries were we'll worn. The skin on
the throat hung loose. and the lower
mandible fitted close under the upper.
The chin was orange red, and below
this on the neck was strip of green
ish yellow merging into the orange
about the sides and back of the neck.
The top and front Of the head were
red, but between the eyes was n small
patch of black feathers. and these eX-
tended down in front OF the eye into
the orange red of the cheek. The pupil
of the eye was black. but the iris was
deep and red and conspicuous. The
bald and wrinllled pate. the flabby
jowls. with the cave-in expression Of Il
toothless old woman--these helped to
make up the condor Individuality

Could We Live on Mars?

The physical conditions on Mars are
in many ways intermediate between
those found upon the earth and the
moon. and it seems plausible that the
life existing upon it should similarly
be of higher type than that found on
the moon and Of a lower type than
that found at present on the surface of
the earth. Even if the physical condi-
tons. as we understand them, were
equally favorable with those on the
earth. civilization would by no means
be Il necessary consequence. Had it
not been settled by Europeans the
United States would still be IL wilder
ness. How much less should we hasten
to accord civilization to a planet of
which we know little. except that If
we were transported there ourselves
we should instantly die.-Professo w.
H. Pickering in Harper's Magazine.

Pay of Army Officers.

When a young man becomes a cadet
at West Point. he enters upon a gov
eminent allowance of $60950 n year.
On graduation the West Pointer is
commissioned second lieutenant and
receives a salary of 81 400 If unmount-
ed or $1,000 If mounted. Increases at
each five year period bring the pay at
the end of twenty years up to $1,960
10 the one case and $2,100 in the
other.
The pay of first lieutenants begins at
$500 and $1,000; captains, $500 and
$4,000; majors. $1,000; lieutenant colo
nels. $4,000: colonies. $500. Each Off
Ger attains 40 per cent maximum in
crease in twenty years.
On the average the salary of the

graded civil service employee. The Of
flcer has allowances for residence and
personal attendance. He may buy
household supplies from a government

Presidential Primaries,

Although nomination by the Pri-
marys undoubtedly has its defects
yet there is SO much 'to the good
about it that it will not easily be
eradicated from our political econo-
my. Like all new methods it is sus-
ceptible of Improvement and will be
changed as time develops the neces-
sity.
But the principle is right, and right
will prevail. Not only has the system
been growing rapidly in these United
States but it has been extended from
local to State nominations, and now
there begins campaign to nominate
the president in that way.
A late issue of the Boston Trans
cript has the following upon this
subject:
"How would the voters of the
United States like to wake up some
morning in June of a presidential
year, to 60 to primaries to indicate
their preference for the nominations
of their respective parties? Either
States or districts might be made the
units. The candidate getting the
largest amount of such State and
