/ The telescope shows wonderful
things on Mars. The four seasons
there are much like Earth's. In
winter there are big caps of snow
and ice seen through the telescope
on Mars. AS warmer weather
comes the snowcaps begin to grow
smaller and the canals show more
plainly. That is because there is
water running through them which
reflects the sunlight.
Later big brown vacancies begin
to take on a greenish tint. The
water from the canals, having

crops for the Mariians. The lakes

Origin of Canals.
1t is an interesting story, this Of
the canals, as the men Of astron-
omy tell it. Many thousands of
years ago the Martians were much
like we are now. Then the water
got scarcer and the atmosphere
rarer, Just as the Earth's will some
day far in the future.
Once easy to cultivate, land on
Mars became less fertile as the
water ebbed. The Martians were
at a crisis. To raise enough to
keep alive they had to irrigate arid
lands which were getting more ex-
tensive all the time. So these can
ais were dug, no one knows how.
They were acting on the same

POOR ASPHALT
STREETS NOW

The asphalt paving companies
have had their way in cutting the
term of maintenance for street
pavement from five to 10 years.
The action was forced by the sur
ETY. companies refusing to risk
guarantees longer than five years
on the asphalt. From the appear
ance of a good many of the streets,
five years is longer than they will
last
Meanwhile the taxpayer who
digs up for the street improvement
will have to pay the freight. 1t
amounts to a decision that the
companies will no longer build
streets that can be insured for 10
years, and the ity authorities have
tacitly consented to this arrange
ment without consulting the peo-
pie who cause streets to be paved
and pay for the paving.

Not many years ago this little

Against the coming of winter there
were ample stocks of the dried sal

at all times. In the summer the
natives fished, picked the wild
huckleberries, grew vegetables and
lived their simple lives in the full

bad whisky. Inscriptions men

LITTLE BOY SAVES GIRL.
David Glass, Aged Five, Makes Brave
Fight Against Mad Dog.

Philadelphia, NOV. lS.-Attacked by

Glass, of 81 North Tenth street,
shielded his little girl companion Tues
day morning from the rush of the
brute and tried to fight the animal
with schoolbooks while 4-year- old Mar
ie Wilson ran in neighboring house.
The two children were on their way
to the Northwest School 1T Fifteenth
and Race streets. and the Cog at
tackled them at Fifteenth and Vine
A policeman from the Fifteenth and
Vine streets station house was chas-
ing the animal.
In his hand David carried bag of
school books, including a big. heavy
geography. He pushed Marie behind
him You rum" he said. "Tr stay
here. He won't bite me-
Marie needed not Il second invita-
ton She turned and ran for vesti-
bule across the street that was open.
The bulldog sWerved to one side, and
apparently was intending TO chase the
little girl.
But David, the bystanders say. de-
Iiberately swung his heavy school
satchel against the animal as it jump
ed past. and turned the rage Of the dog
on himself. For an instant the dog
was unable to bite the little boy, as
he defended himself slllfully with his
Satchel.
At last the dog lcaped upon the boy.

bcv was dragged to the pavement,
and would have beer badly manglcd
by the dog. but the policeman who had
been chasing the dog came up, struck
it with his club, and, as the dog turned
it's fury upon him, he shot it dead
with his revolver.
The boy was taken to the Hahne-
mann Hospital, where his wound was
cauterized by Dr. Reeves. 1t is not
thought that the dog was mad, but
the carcass of the animal will oe ex-
