ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
BY the terms of the decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been &C.
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

Rev. Father Guicheteau of the
French Catholic Church of ST. Vincent
de Paul, on West Twenty-third street,
New York, famed as 'the priest
astronomer" has his telescope di'
rected these nights at Mars, now very
close to the earth. Every night he is
up in the little observatory he has
had installed on the roof of his parish
house making both observations and
calculations. His telescope is a
very fine instrument, operated by
clockwork to keep pace with the ap-
parent motion of the stars.
81 am firmly convinced" he says,
that there is life on Mars, and | am
eagerly awaiting the report of the
scientists all over the world, who are
now making observations and photo
graphs. | look for the most interest
ing results from the observatory at
Arequipa, Peru, wheer the exceeding
ly clear atmosphere will be of the
greatest aid in operating the great
Bruce telescope there located.

SUGAR PINES GIANT CONES.

The largest cones borne by any
trees in the world are those of the
sugar pine in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains. These cones range from 15 to
Is inches in length, with diameter,
when green, of three or three and
half inches. They ripen in the au-
tunn of the second season after the
blossom, and the scales then spread
to permit the seeds to fall. This
spreading of the scales fully doubles
the diameter of the cones, making
them great brown pendants, averaging
more than foot and half in length
and six inches in diameter. They re-
main upon the trees for another year,
and then fall, making an odd showing
upon the needle-carpeted ground. The
sugar" from which the tree derives
it's name exudes from the heart wood
on scars and wounds, forming white,
candy-like masses that taste very
much like maple sugar The wood is
pale yellow in. color, fine grained and
equal to the best varieties of white
pine for all commercial purposes. Con-
sequently the accessible sugar pine
forests, not under government con-
troll as national forests, have been sad
Iy ravaged.
In curious contrast to the great pen
dants borne by the sugar pines are
the diminutive cones of the giant Sc
QuOias-the greatest trees in all the
world. These cones are rarely more
than two and a half inches long and
about one inch in diameter, consisting
of 80 or 40 rhomboidal scales, with
from four to eight seeds at the base
of each. The sugar pines grow abun-
dainty in every region of the Sierras
where the sequOias are found; and
among the worlds coniferous trees
he sugar pines are second only to the
;equoias. Trees of this species COM

rec was discovered by David Doug
ass in the fall of 1926, in southern
oregon. The seQuoias had not yet
been found, and for number of
years the sugar pine was believed to
be the king of all forest growths. The
trunk tapers gradually toward the top,
sheathed in a purple-brown bark. free
from limbs for fully half its height.

Mars is now only 35,000,000 miles
distant from the earth; never is it
closer to u.s. From this time on the
two planets, the earth and Mars, get
further away from each other from
day to day The rate of speed at which
they separate is terrific. In period
of a little over seven years from now
Mars will be 234,000,OO0 miles away
from us. That is why astronomers
are gathering hay now while Mars
shines!
There are many eminent astrono-
mers who have no faith in the theory
Of Mars habitability, but it has been
conclusively proved that life can be
supported on Mars, and | personally
have been of the same opinion as my
eminent friend, Camille Flammarion,
the great French astronomer-my
countryman as well as my friend
that Mars is in many respects world
similar to our own, peopled by beings
of a most intelligent order. There is
every evidence of it in my mind.
1.-THE canals on Mars, first pointed
out by the Italian Schiaparelli, are by
NO means hypothetical. They are toe
regular in formation to be anything
other than the work of intelligent
minds and hands. They resemble
netting all over the face of the planet
the main canals extending from the
poles to the equator. At certain points
where a number of the canals con
verge there is what Lowell and other
astronomers now term 'oases.' These
points of conveyance are, 1 believe.
big cities.
1T is, of course, extremely improb
able that any telescope will ever be
constructed so large and of such pow
er that we will be able to actually de.
tect the flora or fauna of Mars or any
other of the inhabited planets, if other
such there be. Personally, l am loath
to believe that Mars is the only planet
besides our own earth that is habit.
able l think that in time to come we
will study other planets that from ap
parent conditions may possibly sup
port life"

MONSTER HIVE IN A WALL.

For 20 years bees have hived them
selves in the wall of a house on
Merle common, Oxted, Surrey, Eng
land. One day recently a man cut
away the brickwork and found large
clumps of comb containing honey sus-
pended from the outer and inner
walls. He estimated the honey in the
self-made hive at about three hundred
weight and actually managed to secure
about two hundredweight. In addition
he succeeded in hiving over a bushel
of bees. In the hive there was also
found starling's nest and quantity
of eggshells and the occupier of the
house states that brood of starlings
were Matched there this season. The
bees and the starlings entered their
abode by the same aperture and lived
harmoniously together.
