VENUS AND MARS.
The Theory That Life Exists Upon
Both of Those Planets.

We are bound 20 hold life to be
general phenomenon in nature, develop
ing wherever the stars are shining on
their attendant planets, and thus wher-
ever star wrinkles in the depths of
he armament.
Now as for Mars and Venus in our
,wn system, it need hardly be said
hat they are surely inhabited by living
ieings of some kind Observations
how that Mars has rare atmosphere

iur own. seasons of the same type, bus

he amount is small Mars is a deser,
lanet. with very rare air, about Ike
hat in the higher regions of the Him
laya mountains. But as life on the
arth extends to the highest plateaus
nd mountains. except when perpet-
ally frozen. it may also exist on the
,lanet Mars. which has moderate
emperaturc. as shown by the forma-
on of clouds in the twilight belt, after
he sun has set for the Martians.
The probability of Venus being in
iabited is much greater than that of
dars, for Venus rotates in % hours n

resembles the earth as TO DO called her

New Year Calls In China.

New Year calls are the custom in
China, and you have to pay them in
festive attire of silk or satin.
These fine clothes tsays Archdeacon
Moule in the Chinese People, can be
hired. the price being gradually lower
cd as the hours of the first six days
pass by. We complained once of the
very late arrival of a caller, who
should have been among the first to
salute us. He replied that money was
scarce, and he was obliged to wait for
the cheapest day to secure fine robe

days the whole community seems TO
give itself over to indiscriminate gam
bling. n practice Illegal and condemned

QUEST OF Ell DORADO.
That Elusive Land Of Gold and Jewels
In South America.


Guiana is bounded on the north by
the great river Orinoco and on The
south by the still greater river ANA
ION. These two grand rivers are con
nected with one another, the Clsiqui
IRE. branch from the Orinoco. falling
into the Rio Negro, a tributary of the
Amazon Within Guiana itself are
many rivers Of very considerable size.
The kingdom of III Dorado was re-
puted to exist somewhere between the
Rio Branco and the Essequlbo, called
by the Indians the Brother of the ORR

be somewhere between the Rio Branco

we'll as failure attended nearly all the
expeditions.
From a state paper in the public rec

1850 persons who Travelled in America
had reported that there was a place
where the women wore great plates Of

LAUGHTER WILL COME BACK
World Is Not Always to stagger I'm
der the Overwhelming Desc
latlon of the War.

Some people wonder why theaters
are running during the awful world
tragedy which is being enacted in Eu
rope. The reason why they ought to
run is we'll stated by John Palmer in
the Saturday Review:
Let the theater still exist to re
mind us that the war will pass; that
laughter will come back to the world !;
that art will one day be restored /;
that we shall not always stand at the
edge of ruin; that it is not nee.
essary to dwell forever with grave
faces, selfconsciously in the shadow
Of distress. Thereby we shall help to
keep our country in sane mind and
good heart in these coming days and
destroy in it's cradle the infant as
sumption of our entertainers that one
theme alone is able at this time to
possess us.
This war will never, so long as it
lasts, be in a less degree the COM
handing fact of our lives. But we
need not, therefore, act like stunned
creatures and play continually with
one fixed idea. We have to keep our
sense of proportion. We must hold on
TO our humor and keep it bright; and
the theater is going to continue, must
help us in this"
