FRENCH WRITERS EARN LESS.
TranSIatiOns of Foreign Novels Hav>
 Spoiled the Market.

TranHIatfOns of Foreign Novels Hav>
 Spoiled the Market.
 While the serial story is if anything more popular than ever as a newspa. per feature in France, Robert Sheraro writes in My Friends the French" that the remuneration of the writers of this kind of fiction is not as good as 1t used to be.
 That is because the editors find they can get very good fiction from foreign publishers. The payment for the translation rights of good English Russian, Italian or German nove would not amount to the twentieth rart of the fee which would be de handed by one of the popular masters of feuilleton.
 Formerly these fees were very large According to the Bookman, Jules Mary used to receive 30,000 francs for firsi serial use of one of his thrillers. That would represent about half of what the manuscript would produce, for after the tale had appeared in the paper the publishers who issue tales in 10-centi mo parts would pay him onother 25, GOO francs for this use.
 D'Ennery the author of The Two Orphans" received a franc and a hali a line One of his novels, An Angels Remorse,' brought him 10000 francs But free trade in fiction, says MT Sherard. has injured the home manu- lecturers. The French publishers can get good translations for low sums Hachette whenever a large price is asked for an English novel produces a receipt signed by Charles Dickens It Is for a sum of e20 and refers to novel called David Copperfeld."

The observations of scientists on thu highest mountain summit in the Unit ed States are directed to the discover, of whether the planet Mars is habit able, not of whether 1t Is inhabited If the existence of water vapor in ap preciable quantity is betrayed by thu Martian spectrum, 1t is reasonable tt postulate the habitability of Mars. IT. go farther, and to assert with Pro lessor Lowell that Mars is inhabited and by beings capable of altering thu face of the planet with their construc tions, is largely speculative. Professor Lowell now announces that he hai identified oxygen in the atmosphere . the planet. If he has done so, he ha added to the probability that Mars 1; habitable. But until inhabitants arr proved, there can be no certainty tha life exists on Mars, because conditions there, as read through earthly exper fence. seem to warrant life. If ther be anything in the laws of probability existence of life can scarcely be con fined to this planet. This earth is particle in a universe which the spec trum shows is composed of chemica elements that are ubiquitous. Thi earth is satellite of a sun. whos' brothers number a host. as the tele scope has revealed. Within a universe which seems boundless, among thu numberless suns, there must be plan cts whose physical and chemical con ditions conduce to the appearance o life-of life perhaps not in the form! with which we are acquainted, but il forms as highly developed as the ter restrial forms, or even more SO; wht knows? Within our own solar system unless Mars Is fitted for the evolution of life, no other planet'than our eartt holds life, since the others are too young or too old. too near the sur O. too far removed, with rotation tot swift or too much retarded. Verify the marvel within which we have oul being. instead of being diminished by scientific knowledge, is expanded tC proportions that fairly overwhelm the imagination and stagger the intellect

An unreasonable snow storm, which caused a good deal of discomfort, but incidentally demonstrated the parental devotion of the ground-sparrow, and the humanity of the laborers at the Superior coal-docks. The story is told by writer in the Superior Telegram.
 The sparrows appeared in March, and built their nest in an open field adjoining the coal-docks. Four eggs were laid, and four young sparrows shortly afterward made their appear ance.
 There was, of course, no shelter for the nest, and when the snow came down in big flakes one night, the moth CT bird refused to leave the young ones, and the whole family was showed under.
 Some of the men on the dock had found the nest several days before, and watched the progress of the pros pective family with much interest. When they crossed the fields to go to work Wednesday morning, they no- ticed that the snow completely covered the ground in the vicinity of the nest, and immediately hastened to the spot to see what had happened to the birds.
 Seven inches of snow covered the nest, and when the men reached down through the mantle to see if the birds were still alive, the mother flew out and watched the excavating operations with much interest, but from a safe distance.
 When the nest had been cleared of snow she returned, and the next day when they had to dig her out again, she was quite tame and obviously thankful.
 The little fellows, with their thick, warm coats of down, appeared not in the least distressed, and opened their mouths for food when the snow was removed.

Why Did He Do It.

One of the guests of a seaside board, ing house had picked up curiously shaped stone on the seashore that look. ed exactly like a half eaten crust of bread. It was being passed around the room. and the finder was evidently feeling pleased with himself at having found something really unique. Every one who saw it exclaimed how like a crust of bread it really was. It at last reached the quiet man in the corner. and the finder went up to him to get his opinion. Yes said the quiet man, "it is a striking resemblance. Didn't you think it was crust of bread when you saw it on the sand?" Yes" replied the proud finder. q was completely taken in with it." "Then what on earth did you pick it up for?"
