Unconscious Effort.

In pictures of athletic competitions,
chiefly hurdle races n high jumps, an
occasional spectator is seen caught by
the camera In a queer posture, says
, the New York Sun
If 1t is a picture OF an athlete leap
ing, 10 chances TO one the spectator
has involuntarily raised his right leg,
twisting his body in automatic express
sion of a desire to help the jumper.
With hurdle rae photographs his of
ten may be noticed, too, and in the
case of sprinters not a few men stand
with faces twisted up and holding the
breath in correct imitation OF the ath-
lete.
So, too. with football views. In one
of a big game recently there was a
photograph of a man on the sid line
watching a tackle. who was crouching
down In almost exact imitation OF a
waiting defense man who was shown
at the moment making ready for his
leap at the runner.
Men who follow athletics know nov
involuntary this is. One athletic train
er has appeared in hundreds OF pic
lures as watching some one of his
charges high jumping, with his legs
swung out just as If he were making
the leap himself There is a sort OF
relief for the feeling OF trying to help
the jumper in swinging the leg up SO,
anu dIIlOSt any pcISou rs likely 10 uO
II.
1t may be noticed at prize fights that
some men &c through the entire battle
punch for punch, crossing and counter
ing an imaginary opponent as they
watch the struggle before them. Men
drive and ride horses in races from the
stand, making the effort in the stretch
along with the jockey OF their fancy.
This is one of the well known features
among the race crowd where there are
many grand stand riders" In wrest-
ling matches almost any one will try,
purely by instinct, to help the athlete
who lis down and who is bridging des-
perately.
And yet there is rarely enough tele-
pathic suggestion in the air s~urcharged
with desire to bring about a result diff
ferent from what naturally might be
expected at the moment when the
greatest wish for something else is
born. That is to say, the high jumper
doesn't necessarily clear the bar, nor
n Splinter sQueeZes out the inch or
SO that he needs, o the jockey whip
up his moun in for the head that
means victory.

ANIMAL STORIES.

From the New York Herald.

New thought In various forms
arouses in echo in the Bronx Zoolog-
ical Gardens, and visitors yesterday
had an opportunity TO witness practical
demonstrations of h doctrine OF wo-
man suffrage and the "Osler" theory
among its inmates.
Duke is a magnificent gray timber
wolf and until yesterday was an auto
| cratic one. His mate was Susan, n
a more peaceful, meek and self-effacing
wife no one could desire. Duke was
distinctly the head of his own house-
hold and ran things to suit himself,
When he wanted amusement he nagged
Susan and when he was irritated ha
snapped at her In quite the usual and
| natural way. Sometimes he bit her,
and his teeth are sharp. He was in 4
particularly evil temper on Saturday.
1t is not known whether Susan
slipped away to a suffragette meeting
In the evening or whether she ound
a yellow button bearing the legend
Votes for Women which started a.
revolutionary train of thought. But
yesterday she came TO an understand
ing with Duke that had unpleasant
consequences for him. He started To
worry her and she came out for her
rights, caught him by the scruff of tine
neck, banged him vi and down, ripped
his coat In 10 places and had him
by the neck with a strangle hold when
the keepers separated her from her
first conversion there was no doubt
that Duke was converted. When he
leaves the hospital, If ever, he will
trot right up with the beef bone and
take what he gets when Susan is
through with IL.
The prairie dogs afforded the next
illustration of the advance of ideas
among the animals. There has long
been a mystery, TO Keepers as well as
to visitors, concerning the fate of the
aged prairie dogs. Members OF the
colony nave suddenly disappeared. Yes
terday a number OF persons gathered
about the prairie dog burrows saw one
OF the patriarchs crawl slowly ont
into the sun. He was unnoticed for a
time, but presently three young, active
prairie dogs surrounded him and began
to kick dust at him.. He made no re-
~sistance, but crawled back into his hole
! Then they scraped dirt in after him.
When one OF the keepers was sum
moned and dug into the burrow he,
found that the aged victim had beer,
SuffOcated.

The suffraoette Cocktail.

Minneapolis Letter to the Pittsburg Press.
The ~Suffragette cocktail is the newest
American drink.
Some other kinds OF cocktails make
a man want to go home and beat his
wife. The new drink has exactly the
opposite tendency. Two or three OF
the new drinks make a man go home
and relinquish his position as head of
the household TO his wife and accord
her all the privileges he now enjoys as
q citizen.
That's true, for il has already been
tried. A Hennepin avenue bartender
invented the new drink Here's his
recipe:
Sloe gin. French vermouth and Ital-
ian vermouth in equal parts TO make
q gill; mix in a cocktail glass, add a
dash of orange b~itters, twist in two
strips of lemon peel and serve.
One makes q man willing to listen to
the suffragettes' argument,
Two convinces him that II has some
merit.
Three make him a missionary, will
ing TO spread the gospel abroad, and
four make him go home n wash the
dishes.

ENGINEERING FEATS
ON THE PLANET MARS
Speculation as to the Difficult,
ties Martians Have Had
to Overcome.

Garrett p. Servis In New York American
A reviewer in the London Times Of
Professor Percival Lowelrs book on
Mars as the Abode OF Life" makes a
pregnant suggestion. Why, he asks,
has not Professor Lowell dealt with the
temperature difficulty on Mars as he
has with that OF the scarcity OF water
And then he goes on TO add that II the
Marian engineers have constructed the
gigantic system of irrigation of which
our telescopes gave US a hint, they
must surely nave been capable of solv-
ing the no less important problem OF
storing UP solar heat on that chilly
~unblanketed planet.
While Mars gets only half as much
solar heat as we do, its cloudless con
dition is favorable to employment OF
heat engines depending on the utiliza-
tion OF the suns rays. In it's equato-
rial regions the sun is never hidden by
clouds, and all day long solar engines
might u without interruption. II the
ranal-like lines are, as Professor Low
ell thinks, irrigated bands, IL is equally
probable that they also indicate the
aines along which energy is conveyed
to the neighborhood OF the poles, where
the annually melting SHOWS are az
sumed to furnish practically all the
water that Is available TO keep the
planet alive.
This water would not flow toward
the middle ATTITUDES OF itself. The
supposed engineers must ave con
trived machinery TO pump ii and set il
running to the places where 1t car be
used. The energy needed to drive the
pumps would have to be almost un-
limited in mount. Fuel like coal could
not supply ii. but a vast system of
solar engines might suffice to do tho
work.
The pumps would have to be arrayed
I'm long series. conducting the water, by
successive steps over distances as great
as from San Francisco to New York
The known fairness Of the surface of
the planet is favorable TO this. The
necessity of a continuous succession OF
pumping machinery offers an explana-
tion OF the OF the irrigated
bands and also explains why they eX-
tend TO the very poles. A glance at a
chart of Mars shows the suggestive
in which the lines run, radiating
from the centers, and covering the en-
tire planet with their network Of sup
posed machinery.
Truly, our terrestrial engineers are
pitifully childlike In comparison with
the suppositious giants OF Mars.
