INHABITANTS OF MARS.
Vivid Word Picture Of Them by Pro-
fessor Psrrisr Of France.

NJ. Perrier of the French Natural
History museum has been giving In the
Matin his ideas II the inhabitants of
the planet Mars. He Is complimentary.
The low atmospheric pressure" he
says. has produced a considerable de-
velopment of the lungs. and conse-
quently the general character of these
beings has been influenced by the great
difference between the atmospheric
conditions on Mars and that on our
earth. One may imagine that
the men of Mars are all the greater In
size because the force of gravity there
is slight and that they are light hair
ed because the daylight Is not so in
tense as with rs. In fine. with per-
haps less powerful limbs they may re-
semble our Scandinavian type. though
probably with a larger skull"
SO NJ. Perrier. says the London
Standards Paris correspondent. pic
lures a blue eyed, long nosed, heavy
cared being. with a huge head. bulky
chest, spindle limbs and no waist
worth speaking of. AS for the psychoi-
ogy and %phylogeny of the Marian
world, NJ. Perrier does not stop to dis
cuss such material questions as the
canal system of the planet, but says
that he believes that the inhabitants of
Mars are kind hearted, that the ami
mails have no fear Of their masters
and that the Martians are acquainted
with the nobiest delights of the intel
lect and with the most nav emotions
Of the soul.
NJ. Perrier believes. among other
things. that the year on the planet
Mars lasts twice as long as the year
on our earth. and therefore plants
and insects have twice the time In
which TO evolve-consequently long
grass, huge fruit and insects so much
more perfect as the length of existence
develops the intelligence. Birds have
a luxuriant plumage. are large in size
and brightly colored and have reach
ed a perfection of form unknown to
us. Mars is the land of huge plants
and ideal flowers, of birds abnormally
powerful in song and of wondrous APP
pearance and of four footed animals
with extraordinarily developed fur and
skin. The animals are light in weight,
SHINY built. swift Of foot. and bears
have an appearance not unlike that of
greyhounds."

For Our Boy and Girl Readers
A GAME WITH WORDS.
One Given to Each Player, Which Must
Be Used In Answering a Question.

Every player whispers to his right
hand neighbor q single word, what
ever he pleases. only the more difficult
TO introduce into an ordinary sentence
the better.
When everybody knows his WORD
one player begins by asking a question
OF his neighbor on the left, who Is
obliged in his reply to use the word
that has been given as adroitly as pos
sible to avoid its detection by his ques-
toner. If the latter cannot discover
the word he pays a forfeit.
Suppose the word given to be lido
s~yncrasy" and that the person ques-
tioning asks, do you like to play
games?" A suitable reply would be.

ously admire out of door sports with

MAKING UP STRIPED GOODS.
Hints For the Extra Tall and the Short
Woman.

Striped goods should be made as
plain as possible. as the stripes form
enough o-rnamentation in themselves.
If a person Is tall and wishes to de-
tract from her height the goods should
lie used with the stripes running
around. If. ON the other hand. one Is
short and would like to make the most
OF her height. the stripes should run
up and down.
A simple but effective way of max
ing the gown is to cut the skirt plain
with n high skirt band. 1t should be
gathered n trifie at the back. A few
inches above he hem it would be pref
ty to place n band of black taffeta
ruching, such as is on sale at any Of
the large stores. White glass buttons
sewed with black thread up the front
OF the skirt In a straight row would be
effective. The waist should be made
in the kimono style with either long or

inches deep. are small enough. but
those in Swallow are probably the most
lilliputian in the world.

The art Of bowling In this play con-
sists In knocking away the opponents

or in striking the jack itself from

the jack than any other without dis
turbing ones own balls. This game
does not require much space, but the
ground must be level, grass short and
well moved.

school system of the capital is meet"
ing with hearty support. A kinder
garten is essential in the modern pro-

city is not to be behind the times. The
hoard of education is not opposed to
the idea. In fact, most, if not all Of
the members, are in sympathy with
the project. However, there is lit
tie technically which interferes with
the board taking such action of its
own free will. 1t must be petitioned
