All Rests on Fate.

During a prolonged study Of the
lives Of various men both great and
small, l came upon this thought: In
the web OF the world the one may well
be regarded as the warp, the other as
the woof. 1t is the little men, after
all. who give breadth to the web, and
the great men firmness and solidity,
perhaps also the addition of some sort
of pattern. But the scissors of the
fates determine its length and to that

lnhahitahilitX of Mars

The question of the habitability Of
Mars is one on which astronomers
differ greatly. The sole evidence in
favor of the existence of intelligent
beings on it is the obviously artificial
nature of the so-called canals as some
astronomers see them. There cannot
be said to be evidence of additional
canal construction on the planet, the
whole question of the existence of any
canal being still a matter of contro-
