Slavery The church auditorium was

attentively and greatly appreciated the
address
Mr. Smyer's address is divided in
to three sections, the first dealing
with the subsection Of man by man, a
story OF the past when slaves did the
work OF their masters. The second
division deals with subsection of man
by habit story of the present in
which fashion play an important part.
The last division is the subsection of
machinery by man, tale of the pres
ent and future when the human
slave has been superseded by the
iron and steel slave, when machinery
does the work required and the Keo-
kuk water power forms an interesting
paragraph.

quence and wit accompanies logic and
wisdom. Several entertaining stories
are intersperced through the lecture
and the whole forms one of the best
platform numbers that was ever heard

KILLING FROST ON
MARS is RECORDED
Nips Flowers and Vegeta-
bles on Marian Mid
summer Night

Flagstaff, Ariz., Nov. 13.-The first
autumn frost over night has appeared
in the Marian Antarctic regions. II
was first observed at the Lowell OBJ
servatory on November 3, the Marian
date then being what corresponds to
August 16 on this planet The report
from the observatory says;
1T was seen as a bright light on
the planets sunrise edge and only
there, not continuing on the disk as
the planet turned.
1T is evident that this bright area
was boar frost from the fact that it
gradually dissipated as it was brought
into sunlight by the planets daily rO-
tatiOn. In Whiteness il rivaled the
planets south polar cap and must have
lasted for an hour and a half to two
hours after the sun had risen on that
part Of the planet to be thus visible.
Calculations show that it lay in lat
itude 50 degrees to 65 degrees south
and longitude 10 degrees to 230 de-
grees. 1t has been seen on November
5, and z. and photographed on sew
saThe repetition of the phenomena
night after night, combined with its
restriction to certain Marian hours,
shows that it was a diurnal matter,
and the first steps Of what is soon tC
be the snow covering throughout the
day of those ATTITUDES.
"This is the first time this particu-
lar phenomenon has been observed"
