THE LANGUAGE OF MARS.

Now that the erudite professors have concluded
that Mars is inhabited. and the proposition Is
brought forth that for 100000 message can be
SCENTS itself as what language should be employed
in dealing with the Martians. Shall it be baseball
American or classic Greek? Perhaps Hindoo or
cockney English.
This is a very important matter to which the
attention of the professors of Harvard and Am
herst. who have brought the question of communi-
eating with Mars before the people should be called
And before they spend that 100000 in sending
a message to the planet it would be well to hire
some mind protector to send his subconscious self
off on days Journey to learn the language and to
return to earth with it tucked away in of his
vest pockets. Then it would be time enough to
erect observatory towers $4,000 feet high, equipped
with wireless. and to spend $10,00O0O0 in looking
glasses TO reflect great light TO Mars.
When Percival Lowell discovered the canals and
other things which apparently proved Mars to be
inhabited it was almost conclusively shown that
some day communication would be established with
the planet. Inasmuch as Mars is older than
EARTH the people there must be infinitely smarter
than ourselves If we could just decide what
language to use in addressing them, they no doubt
will be quicker to translate it into their own YER
nacuar than could translate theirs, Every effort
should be made to encourage this wonderful posi-
bility. for it may be the Martians could furnish
us some new argument on the tariff question.

porations and municipal reform.

FLOODS AND FORESTS.

Just now when the memory of the floods which
poured down the canyons east of the city and did
much damage to the water supply of the city, be-
sides causing great uneasiness in those parts of the
city through which the canyon run, is still
fresh it is well to recall the fires which swept over
the mountains last fall and destroyed all the grass
and weeds on the hillsides for many miles. Also,
any young trees which might have got start we're
burned These fires extended from the foothills
to the SUBMITS of the mountains and far back over
the range and up the canyons. They did very
great damage in themselves, perhaps we do not
remember any reports OF serious damage resulting
But it is plain that lying beneath the shade
of trees and weeds, and water held back by grass
and weeds. will not flow off in floods on the first
warm days of spring. There may be no connection
between the floods and the mountain fires of last
fall but we cannot think otherwise than that there
is
With the mountains and foothills burned off
in the fall. when they are ready TO receive their
winter supply of moisture, they as barren a
desert. and when the warm sun rays strike the
snow. it melts and runs away with nothing TO stop
the flow or check it. The result is a spring food.
The fires which sweep over the mountains in the
fall could. it seems. be easily prevented. They may
be started by miscellaneous boys who like to see the
bright fire sweep over the mountain sides at night.
Or they may be started By careless campers in the
canyons. However, they get started, and however
beautiful the night scene may be, undoubtedly the
spring foods which come upon us are made more
disastrous by stripping the hills of vegetation.

NEW MARRIAGE LAW.

Anticipating the marriage law which pro-
hibits the remarrying of divorced persons for one
year after the dissolution of the nuptia tie, there
has been a stampede to the divorce court during
the past two weeks The daily papers gave the list
Of divorces last Sunday They numbered in this
city 104 in a little over two months From this
long list it may be fairly inferred that marriage
does not lead 10 that perfect paradise which the
brilliant fancies Of youthful lovers hoped for and
pictured when recounting their mutual love. What
may be the dissensOns in the home, divorce is
a poor remedy to get rid of them Mans life is
destined TO be one of labor and struggle. He who
expects to find an Elysum in this mundane sphere
viii be disappointed. The very fact that divorce
may be obtained is the cause of family dssensions
and quarrels If the divorce laws were more strin-
gent, and bargain counters for the Divorces less
plentiful, married persons would exercise more
power III controlling and regulating their feelings.
Parties who find themselves not so well mated as
they expected to be, would get over their difficult
ties 1t requires only an effort. Where there is
a will there is way. To say ones feelings are
beyond control is a bad doctrine in morals. Feel
ings go hand in hand with ones duties.
Marriage is, in It's very nature. indissoluable.
life. If there should, be mutual understanding
between the contracting parties that there were
reservations to time, they would not consider
il marriage. 1t would lack the character of sane
tity, and be merely considered passing exchange
of passion and caprice. Hence divorce not be
claimed as a matter Of justice, and should not be
granted on the ground of the mutual consent of
the parties concerned. divorce rarely benefits
woman. The feelings and sentiments which desire
it seldom realized, and when not realized. it
means trouble and worry. The breaking up of 104
homes within the past two months in our city, can
not fail to have baneful effect on society. The
ease and alacrity-one was obtained in less than
four hours after it was applied for-with which
these divorces may be obtained. is wrong in princi
pie and injurious to the faith and morals What
IS the remedy for this growing evil return to
the first marriage law given in Paradise What
God hath joined together, let no man put asunder7
