The X-Ray Eye

Prof. Percival Lowell, the eminent Martian astronomer, said in a recent interview:
 "The Martian canals are not Panama canals. The word 'canals,' you know, really means 'lines.' It should not be taken literally, as the servant girl ID Boston took the parlor magic.
 aAn amateur magician. in a beacon street house was going through his tricks while maid passed in and out with refreshments.
 "The magician was reading letters placed undera rug as the maid brought in tray with lemon ices.
 "sWhat letter is thiss' spectator asked.
 That is B. the magician answered, and, sure, enough, his answer was COT rect
 ''The maid looked with astonishment at the letter which had been hidden under the thick rug. She turned her gaze on the handsome young magician, who had read it. Then setting down her tray of ices, she hid her rosy face in her hands and ran out of the room.

Dead Man Shows Up

During the last seven years whenever the people of Derby, or it's twin jewel in the crown of Connecticut, Ansonia, have had occasion to speak of Thomas Mulcahy they have used the past tense, for the general impression was that while in Alaska he and one of the snow slides indigenous to that frappe terri tory has been in collision, with fatal re. suits to Mir. Mulcahy. But he came back.
 Nobody knew he was coming, because everybody thought he was dead. Daniel MoFat had said so, and Frank Knight had said so. They had gone to Alaska twelve years ago with Mulcahy as the third mem Der of the gold seeking ex. petition and although it was one of those one. .for.all and all-for one aggre- gations, they had accidentally become separated from him in the frozen North. Twelve years ago Moffat re- turned, bringing news that Mulcahy had been lost. Seven years ago cumu latiVe evidence, only more so, arrived with Knight, who said he had heard chat the year he left Alaska Mulcahy had matched himsele against snow slide and lost.
 Among those who were stirred by the news of the incident of the suowslide was Mulcahy's brother, Richard, who erected a monument in memory of the virtues of Thomas. This monument was one of the points of interest in Derby that was first pointed out to Thomas Mulcahy when he arrived.
 Knowing that his brother had re- turned to Derby, but unaware that he himself was supposed to have died, Thomas Mulcahy dropped off New Haven train eager for a family reunion and home cookery. He was not recog. nized-twelVe years in Alaska being bound to exert some influence over any countenance.
 He told several persons that he was Thomas MuIcahy, bat the Connecticut mind, ever conservative, refused to give credence to his assertion.
 "Tom Mulcahy," they told him, 'tdied in Alaska, cut down by snowslide on the threshold of a wonderful career Come out aud look at bis monument"
 Having nothing else to do tt the moment, I'll go you" said the man who had come home for an old home week celebration, and knew iu his heart he was not dead.
 So they took him out and displayed the monument.
 He walked slowly around it, reading the inscriptions aloud.
 "Tasty," said he, "very, very tasty. We might as we'll keep it. It will come in handy some time."
 His guides thought he was raying, and would probably be thinking so yet if Daniel Mo@at and Frank Knight had not come along. He knew them at once, and after a short series of, "Do you remember thisP and Do you re- mem Der that2" they admitted that the hesrsay evidence concerning the snow slide had to fade in the presence of MT. Mulcahy himseif. Then there was a real rennion.-New York World.
