WORK OF InteIigent Beings.
Boston, Nov. 25.-Three new canals
have been discovered on the planet
Mars by Professor Percival Lowell at
his Arizona observatory.
This announcement of new signs of
activity by the Martians is a direct
contradiction to the recent report
among astronomers that disturbances
on the planet showed that all life
there had been destroyed in some
great catastrophe.
Professor Lowell says he found
three or four new canals of recent
making on Mars. These canals look
like signs of intelligent work rather
than natural workings. His view is
that they are sure signs of intelligent
activity and Of human beings existent
IN Mars.

The Financial Review, of Scran-
ton, has the following regarding our
saving banks: Most gratifying re-
ports of the condition of the Wayne
County Savings Bank, Dime and
Farmers and Mechanics Bank of
Honesdale, were made at the close
of business of the respective banks,
November 6, 1909, as the result of a
call issued by the State Commits
sioner of Banking. The Wayne
County Savings Bank, which stands
3Sth in the United States and 10th
in Pennsylvania, during the past six
months shows an increase in the
savings department of $91, ,868.S0,
and its surplus profits show an in
crease of $26,654.61. The Homes
dale Dime Bank, organized in 1905,
presents an increase in its savings
department during the same period
of time of $39,4O3.53, and its net
earnings amount to $7,470.25. The
Farmers and Mechanics Bank,
founded in 1907, made the best show
ing in the history of that institution
by making a magnificent gain of
$42,256.28 on the savings depart
ment and an increase in earnings
of $3,506.64. The cashiers and d.
rectors of all the aforementioned
banks have reason for feeling proud
of the reports of their respective in
stitutions. Our National Bank,
which ID under National control,
also makes most gratifying report,
and show that the same ratio OF pros,
perity has come to them.
