Another Marian Theory.
Dr.. Arrhenius, the famous Swedish
scientist and Nobel p-rize-winner, pro-
pounded. at a meeting OF the Stockholm
Society Of Physics, a new and curious
theory concerning the so-called canals in
Mars. He said that, as a consequence Of
various changes, several parallel cracks
had been formed, which had gradually
been filled up with sand. This sand, DIT.
Arrhenius argues, contains various salts,
which assume different colors, according

During tins evaporation the cracks assume
a darker hue, but become light in color
again when the temporary dampncss has
passed away. His theory, Dr. Alrhenius
believes, completely explains the reason
Why the ~cnannels change color. The seas
in Mars he adds contain a large quantity
Of sand, and are not very deep. Finally,
the lecturer stated that so far as his exper-
iments went, the temperature Of the planet
was too low to permit Of the existence Of

The Hattiesburg baseball team is
here today to enter upon the last
home stay of this season. They are
here to play ball. Notice that? to
play ball. The management has an
nounced that there will be no loafng
during this series, and although the

tory, no one doubts that the Yellow
Piners CAN play good ball, and The
News is authorized to say that from
now on they WILL.
Greenwood is on deck for this after
noon and tomorrow, and further COM
ment is not necessary to assure the
local bugs that We have to go up
against a stiff proposition. Spurred
on by the nearness of Jackson in the
percentage table, Greenwood is just
now playing about the fastest game
since the league opened, but the Yel-
low Piners are determined that this

game; they would put forth their
greatest efforts to even up tomorrow,
and if the locals take the opener, of
course Greenwood will have to hustle
to keep Manager Nance's club from
coming in too close.

JUNE EARNINGS
OF RAILROADS
The Results of Compilations Showing
Financial Results of Many Com
mon Carriers.

New York, Aug. 29.-Figures are
now available showing the financial
results of railroad operations in June.
Returns from 205,00O miles of Toad
about 80 per cent of the country's
total mileage-show that operating ex-
penses increased $22,93S,9S7, or 1886
per cent, over June of last year.
Thus, out of the $23,565,112 increase
in gross, only $627,O25 was saved for
net. This represents an increase of
less than / per cent in net earnings
as compared with the same month
last year.
The wage advances had begun to
have a decided effect upon operating
expenses at the beginning of this
summer, and was one of the principal
causes in the shrinkage in net earn
ings. The readjustment of wages, how
ever, did not reach its final stage in
June. Some of the advances have

earnings fell off from June, 1909,

case, are as follows:

New York, Aug. 29.-There are 150,-
900 Americans In Europe who must be

next two months and a half For
several months every available state
room and berth on the big steamships
have been reserved. The rush for re-
turn accommodations began as soon
as the Hood tide for travel Eaxward
had gotten well under way. So fren-
lied was the demand for late August
and September accommodations that
patrons of the steamship soon found
themselves forced to- take either a
teryf early or a very late booking.
At present every possible vessel
The Hattiesburg news., 1910-08-29

that can be pressed into service is be-
ing lined up in Liverpool, London
Antwerp, Amsterdam, Havre and 9TH
er main ports of the British isles and
continent ready to load with a record
list for this side. Such ships as the
Rotterdam of the Holland-American
line, Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, of the
Hamburg g-American line, Kaiser Will
helm II, of the North German-Lloyd
line; Provance, of the French line,
and Luscitania and Mauretania of the
Cunard line, all are bound Westward
with over 1000 passengers each in
their first and second cabins. Vessels
of lesser size are carrying capacity
lists and are running their lists for
travellers exclusively of third class
and steerage up to 900 and 500, rec
ord heretofore unprecedented. Never
in the history of shipping has there
been as busy year as this one. In
1907 it was supposed that the limit
had been reached, but the 1910 figures
far outstrip those of three years ago.
Those high up in every company
agree to this, and well they may, for
the compiled figures prove it.
Until the end of October or well
into November, the rush will continue.
BY that time the Americans who re-
turn to New York on their native
land as a place to spend the winter
will be back in their old haunts, and
shippers, officers, stewards, customs
men and steamships may fall back
for breathing spell during the heavy
winter weather.

understands and appreciates such
things. Yours as ever,

LOSE IN
HARD FOUGHT GAME
Yellow Piners Play. The Best Game OF
The Trip, But Are Nosed Out to
s.-compIaint on Decision.

jackson, Miss, Aug. 29.-After a
nip and tuck struggle that was brim
full of thrillers from start to finish,
and in which Jupiter Pluv threatened
to play a star part about the time
things were getting real interesting,
Jackson finally won the last game of
the series with Hattiesburg, to 3,
making it two in row. But, at the
same time, the Joy Riders were mop
ping up with the Zu zus, so the pen
nant~chase remains in statu quo.
Both Peters and Bagby were touched
up In quite lively style at times,
and the locals error column is liberal
" filled, Shortstop Edwards being the
principal offender in thatline.
The visitors started off with -four
ish, two hits and an error in the first
inning netting one run. A couple of
misplays with bingle added another
in the third. and Bugville began to
look sad. II
But the Lawmakers evened things
up In the fifth, when, with one down,
Woodward put a grounder to second
that bounded out of Tutwi1er's reach,
and c. Edwards sent the ball to right
for two bags, Peters a moment later
going safe on an error at short, Wood
ward crossing. the plate. McLain
grounded to pitcher, who threw to
second, G. Edwards scoring. Jackson
made another run in the seventh, and
the visitors from the piney woods
again tied the score in the first half
of the eighth, but Jackson managed
to force across the winning score in
their half of this inning.
A decision at the plate by Umpire
Sorrels caused some complaint on the
part of the visiting players.
