Had Planted a Quincunx.

The gardening season had opened, and in the train the usual boastful garden talk was in progress. Have you got a quincunx in your garden?" asked the quiet man in the corner. There was dead pause. "A quercus. you mean?' suggested the botanist, politely. "No, quincunx." "Ah. they're no good here," said the next man, confidently; wont bloom in this soil, you'll find"
 "Im surprised you haven't got one," said the quiet man. "It was the first thing planted after l laid out my garden-been quite success with me- "How do you spell the name?' asked a novice (only three months married, respectfully, determined to look up the catalogues at once. But it was the common. not garden. dictionary that enlightened him. There (says the Man chester Guardian) he learned that a quincunx is an arrangement of five trees or plants, one at each of four corners and one i'll the middle. Next morning all the talk was of golf handi- caps.

The planet Mars.

As to the habitability of Mars, the planet popularly regarded as offering the nearest approach to a duplication of earthly conditions, l.. Walter Maun- der. F. k. X. S., in Are the Planets Inba abited?' is uncompromlslnslv neg atiye. A consideration of the Martlan temperature and atmosphere leads him to this conclusions:
 ..What we know of Mars shows us q planet icebound every night but with Il day temperature somewhat above freezing point. As we see it, we look upon its warmest regions. and the rapidity with which it is cleared of ice snow and cloud shows the atmosphere to be rare and the moisture little ln amount and readily eyaporated. These seas are probably shallow Impressions filed with ice to the bottom, but melt ed as to their surfaces by day. From the variety of tints noted in the seas and the recurrent changes in their out lines, they are composed of congeries of shallow pools. fed by small. slug cish streams Great ocean basins into which great rivers discharge them- selves are quite unknown"

It is now twenty two times thirteen :. since Gustavus Wasa was elected king of Sweden i'll 1923, and seventeen times thirteen years since the death of Charles XII in ITS; these added together produce the number 1909. the current year.

High Price For Straiohtness,

One of the most difficult problems in practical mechanics is to make a straight edge. How difficult it is may be judged from an incident that occur red in the shop of celebrated astro nomical instrument maker.
 A patron asked what would be the price of "a perfect straight edge Of glass thirty-siX inches long"
 It cannot be made perfect,' said the instrument maker, but it could proba- bly be made with limit of error amounting to only q fraction of d wave length of light"
 How much would that cost?"
 About $40,0OO."
 1t turned out that the customer want Cd the straight edge for a scraper and that an error of one siXty-fourth of an inch would not bother him.-St. Louis Republic.
