CROKER WILL. NOT
PART WITH HIS
RACING STABLES

1t is understood in London, &C
cording to reports which have come
from Dublin, that there is no truth
in the rumor that Richard Croker,
the former New York politician,
will give up racing. Indeed, reliable
authority says that Mr.. Croker will
make another strenuous effort to
win the Derby with an offspring of
Orby.
Orby is a Derby winner and re-
Gently Mr.. Croker refused 100000

Orby will sire a colt which will win
the classic. If this should come to
pass Orby's value as a stallion
would be greatly enhanced.
A group of turfmen discussing
Mr. Cookers action recalled that
August BelmoA asks $500 fees for
his stallion Rock Sand, for which
he paid $125.000. Flying Fox. which

The owner of Bayardo, even though
he did not win the Derby, 1t is re-

NO PEOPLE on MARS
ACCORDING TO
SCIENTIST

COPENHAGEN. April 16.--Dr.
Arrhenius, the famous Swedish
scientist and Nobel prize winner.
propounded, at a meeting Of the
Stockholm Society of Physics held
here, a new and curious theory con-
corning the so-called canals in Mars
He said that, as consequence OF
various changes, including the
thickness of the planets crust, sew
eral parallel cracks had been form
ed, which had gradually been filled
up with sand.
This sand, DR.. Arrhenius argued,
contains various salts, which as
sumo difference colors, according TO
the amount of dampness permeating
the soil of the planet at different
seasons. The melting snow" often
referred to by writer's on Mars is,
says the doctor, merely evaporation
at the Marian poles.
His theory, DR.. Arrhenius be-
lieves, completely explains the rea-
son why the channels change color.
Finally, the lecturer stated that, so
far as his experiments went, the
temperature of the planet was too
low to permit Of the existence of
plants or any other organisms.
