filled with signs of age, a world peo-
pied ny intelligent beings, but a world
which has reached the period when
there is no more sea. Thus may be
summed up the results of the most ex-
haustive as we'll as the most authorita-
tive studies of any planet since the
perfection of the spectroscope. The in
Nestigations have been conducted upon
an elaborate scale at the famed obser-
Vatery of Flagstaff under the supervs-
ion of astronomers and astro- physic-
lists for the purpose of determining
once for all the great controversy of
which Mars has been the subject for
SO many years. Photographs, spec
troscopic observations and the most
recent methods of optical research
were drawn upon in arriving at the de-
auctions. An authorized report from
the pen of the well-known student of
astro- physics, DR.. James H. Worthing
ton, makes even more sensational read
ing than will be found in the papers
of Prof. Pereival Lowell one of the
first to insist that Mars is the abode
of race of intelligent beings.
Worthington declares now that the
explorers of the planet from the stand
point of Flagstaff find abundant reason
to believe in the existence of highly
developed and intelligent race, making
q last stand against the increasing de-
serts of its world. The famous canals
are evidences of tremendous and united
efforts to exc out the decreasing water
supply to the last drop. In this strug-
gle we see in some sense a forecast
of what the earth must also become in
the fullness of time The astronomers
at Flagstaff set out to learn definitely
an important truth respecting another
planet; but they likewise learned much
of our own. Incidentally our eyes ara
opened to the demonstration OF
truth long held by instinct, that we
are not alone in the eosmos-that other
worlds beyond the earth are no longer
the dreams of fantastic poetry but
firmly established facts of observation
al science" We see how the law of
evolution which mas shaped us to fit
our surroundings here has fitted other
creatures in another world to cope
With their own special needs.-F'rom

THE MARSH AT NIGHT.
Dire Fate of the Wayfarer Who,
Stumbles on Quicksand. .

A wide stretch of somper gray

sky equally gray, nothing to break the
monotonous level, save the ridgy un-
dulations left by the wash of the re-
treating sea. silent waste. where one
hears but the weird cry of the sea
birds. over which Il human form passes
but seldom. This is the impression
left on the mind by the first view of
the Essex marshes. But closer &C
quaihtance tends to modify this i'm
preston, for the wild solitude is not
without certain strange beauty of it's
oi%p, and has its fascination even for
eyes more familiar with the wind
swept skies, the purple moorand, the
gray rocks and holder landscape of the
North country.
The place grows on you; there is a
fascination about it which you cannot
resist, the utter solitude allures. you
must needs come, down from the solid
embankment OF the sea wall to wander
among TIE green pathways, to thread
your way through the slippery maze,
to gather the sea lavender and seek
for rare flowers and new forms of life
in the CLASSY pools. Yet beware how
YOU do so; beware how you yield to the
spell If the place, fer the beauty of it
is the beauty of death. The tragedy of
many a life is held fast in its oozy grip.
Il seems so peaceful; here is no sound
to break the stiffness, no step, nor sign
of life, river and sky and swamp seem
hush1d in Il universal silence, there is
a weird pause in the sounds of Nature,
as if she held herself in waiting.
Long gray shadows steal over the
sky the daylight fades. Wild and des-
oli1te IN the brightest noontlde, at night
the swamp is eerier still. Now with
the slow upcreeping of the tide the
muddy creeks fill with water, which
g!immers in the faint rays of the rising
moon. Night wears on, Il mist rises
from the river; all is still. Presently 4
solitary figure looms in the distance, a
beiated wayfarer daringly crossing the
marsh on his way homeward. Consc-
ious, seemingly, OF the risk attending
him, he at first goes warily, slacken-
ing mis- pace. He treads heedfuliy
among the creeks and mud shadows,
he will traverse the swamp in safety.
No. for the marsh yawns for him. has
waited for his coming. The mist thick

way to go; then in the distance shines

evil spirit of the place. Almost he rec

WHITE SEAWEED.
Collected on Isle Of Grain for Trim
ming Ladies' Hats.

Sad to say, another ancient, II ex-
eeptienal industry in England Is now
threa tened by the march of progress.
II appears that for many years the IN
habitarts of the Isle of Grain and other
districts of the east coast OF Kent
have foand profitable work m collect
ing a. white seaweed which rs washed
up along shore which is used. by mil
liners in London and elsewhere as
trimming FOR womens hats. This has
proved d paying industry during the
winter months when agricultural labor
is not in demand but its future exist
ence is threatened by the trawl boats
The complaining seaweed gatherers
declare that the thrifty trawlers throw
out strings of barbed wire which catch
in this floating weed and pull 1t off
before it is ripe. The seaweed thus
collected is sold for next to nothing.
and TIE barbed wire tears it up by
the roots thus destroying the source
of supply. None is left to ripen, fall
off and drift ashore in the good old
way.
The injured cleaners of seaweed have
lodged a complaint with the Kent and
Essex Sea Fisheries committee, recit-
ing their grievances and asking among
other things. for relief in the form OF
a closed season for white seaweed This
request seems wholly reasonable, Anas-
much as the trawlers have ruthiessly
and wantonly destroyed their means Of
livelihood in their greedy desire to pick
up anything of the slightest value
which the sea may hold. merely as an
accessory to their own regular indus
try. %
The matter maybe fourfdsSte he Of
more than local interest. The news
about the white seaweed will come as
Il great illumination to many persons
who have wondered where in all the
world British milliners have been able
to find the trimming which has long
distinguished their local product. so
such hats, and no such trimming. have
ever come out of any country but Al

clared that Albiop's historic haughti-

ity exhibited in the hats OF her WoH-
