Further Study of Mars.

Photographic through colored
screens is the new method of studying
Mars that has been undertaken by Tx
hOff at the Pulkova observatory. Four
different screens were used-transmit-
ting respectively red, red and orange,
orange and yellow, and greenland in
the 30-inch equatorial telescope they
produced good photographs of very
small size. The red and the green fl
tiers gave strikingly different results.
On the plates that were exposed under
the red, the continents are much
brighter than the south polar cap,
while the seas are very dark and the
canals are best seen. The pictures
that were taken under the green show
the south polar cap as the brightest
object, and the seas are grayish. A
study Of the polar cap has made it ap-
pear greenish instead of white. The
interesting conclusion has been
reached that at the time the photo
graphs were made the cap was ice in
stead of snow, and this view has been
confirmed by experiments on the alb
sorption spectrum of ice and in photo
graphing sand, snow and ice.

MADE BRUIN PEEWSH
AMUSING INCIDENT IN NOUN
TAINS OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Bear Has Encounter With Swinqinu
Beetle Which He Uses as Punch
ing Bag and Comes Off SEQ
ord Best.

A Pennsylvania once witnessed
curious incident in the mountains of
his state, wherein black bear was
the principal figure.
1t appears that the winter before
the wood cutters of the mountains had
broken the handle of one of their
tools, beetle. A rope was tied about
the beetle head and it had been left
hanging to the low limb of tree. The
man who witnessed the spectacle hap
pened to be in the vicinity one sum-
mer day, and, remembering the beetle,
started after it to carry it home
| AS he came near the place he saw a
black bear slowly circling around the
hanging beetle at a distance of few
feet. He was too much occupied to
| notice the man, who stopped to see
what bruin was about.
The bear acted as if he thought the
beetle were some kind of trap He
would approach within a few feet
and sniff. Then he would back off a
little way, squat on his launches and
give low snort, cycling the tool all
the time.
While was thus engaged a sudden
breeze sprung up and set the beetle
swinging lightly. The animal snorted
again and backed off step or two.
Soon another gust struck the beetle
and swayed it still more. The bear re-
sponded by a louder snort-a sort of
challenge.
AS soon as the beetle stopped swing
ing bruin got up and circled about it
several times. At length he went near
then nearer. He reached out his
paw and touched the thing gently. AS.
it swung toward him he hit it, this
time rather forcibly.
The beetle head was a round one of
hickory, with heavy iron rings at each
end. AS it rebounded from the second
blow of the creatures paw it hit him
fairly on the nose. Angry at this, he
rushed at the beetle again and gave it
sounding blow. AS it came toward
him he lodged little, just enough to
save his nose and receive the blow
in his left eye! He hit it again, and
his nose got another blow. That hurt
so much that he growled angrily and
rooted viciOusly in the leaves.
Bruin was furious by this time and
went at that beetle as if he meant to
annihilate it. He gave it tremendous
blow with his right paw, and the tool
swung clear over the limb, came down
on the other side, and struck him on
top Of the head. He uttered a roar
that made the woods ring. Finally he
|
upon it until he broke the rope, and
then went to cutting and biting the
tool
When he found that it did not fight
back any more bruin let it roll to the
ground. Then he shook himself and
walked off into the woods.

PREACHER ELECTED MAYOR

One of the most notable political
changes in New York at the recent
election was that in the city and coun-
ty of Schenectady, where certain Re-
publican and Democratic factions
united with the Socialists and elect
ed all the city officers, except one
and gained a majority of the county
Offices, beside electing an assembly
man. The leader OF these mixed
forces was Rev. DR.. George R. Lunn,
their candidate for mayor, whose por-
trait is shown, and who polled prac-
tically two-thirds Of the entire vote.
Rev. DR.. Lunn was at one time pas
tor of the First Reformed church, one
of the most aristocratic in the city.
Three years ago his advanced polit-
ical views, some Of them in harmony
with Socialistic principles, forced his
resignation from the First Reformed

HEADS RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT

Although the active efforts in the
men and religion forward movement
were begun only a short time ago,
practically all of the seventy-six cities
participating have reported complete
organizations and campaigns under
way. The general headquarters in
New York city is being kept in close
touch with the work all over the coun-
try.
The general interest which has
been manifested by the leading bust
ness and professional men is espe-
cially encouraging to the men in
charge of the movement. James G..
Cannon, who is here pictured, presi-
dent Of the Fourth National Bank Of
New York, is chairman of the general
campaign committee and he believes
the effort will be the most significant
made by the church in the religious
history of America.
