Good Manners Once, But Bad Now.

We hardly appreciate the rapid
transformation of human nature, on
its highest levels, within a single
generation. In this consideration,
the highest levels" are those at

constitute the main audience for the
best literature-at least this is the
case in America. Thackeray in his
lectures on English humorists was
addressing such class in England
and his lecture on Steele, contrast

Anne era, he said, You could no

they heard and said, than you would
receive an ancient Briton.T The lee

Tyburn. and remarked that a great
city had grown over the old mea-

THERE ARE NO
CANALS ON MARS


Leaving aside the older and now
generally discredited explanations
that the canals are gigantic water
channels, that they are cracks in
universal covering of ice, and that
they are grooves cut by colliding as
teroids, We will turn to the explana-
lions held as more probable by the as
tronomers of the present day.
Much the Oldest OF these considers
them to be caused by narrow bitches.
which. crossing the desert regions of
the planet, furnish water to vegeta-
ton growing along their banks. 1t is
these comparatively broad bands of
vegetation, and not the narrow water
channels themselves, which are WISH
BILE in our telescopes. The chief adj
vocate of this view at the present
time is Professor Lowell. who has
adopted it as the foundation of his
theories of Marian civilization. A
serious objection to this hypothesis
is the difficulty of forcing the water
through the canals for thousands of
miles over comparatively level
country. Professor Lowell gets over
this difficulty by stating that it is
pumped through them artificially.
Many astronomers recoil from an ar
tiicial explanation, where it is posi-
BILE to account for the phenomena OBJ
served by any natural method.
The difficulty of transporting the
water is further enhanced if we con-
slider the fact. which is generally ad.
mitted, that the amount of atmos-
phere we find on Mars does not ex-
coed one-quarter the quantity per
square mile of surface that we find
upon the earth. This view is based
largely on Professor Campbell's spec
troscopic Investigations. confirmed by
the clearness with which we see the
details of the planets surface. Since
gravity upon Mars is but three
eighths of what it is upon the earth,
the atmosphere pressure on the Mar
tian surface cannot exceed three thir-
ty-seconds of our own, or seventy-one
milimetres of mercury. Under this
low pressure water boils at 1130
Fair. If the amount of atmosphere
on Mars is only one-tenth as much as
that on the earth, which is highly
probable. the boiling point of water
upon the surface of the planet would
be reduced to $40 Fair. That the
daylight temperature of the surface
does not differ greatly from our own
we know by the rapidity with which
the polar icecaps disappear on the ap-
proach of summer. 1t would, there
fore, seem that the evaporation of
water from the surface must proceed
with extraordinary rapidity. and the
difficulty of transporting it through
canals, and supplying sufficient for
the needs of vegetation upon the
way must be accordingly greatly en-
HANGED.
Indeed, it would seem necessary to
substitute gigantic water mains for
the canals, with most extended sys-
tenn of supplementary piping. The
amount of power required to pump
sufficient water to irrigate anywhere
between 100000 and 100000
square miles of surface, through such
system of piping. may be left tc any
competent hydraulic engineer to COM
pute, with the added statement that
most of the water is to be transported
to distance exceeding 1000 miles,
