tee of the constitutional convention that

a number of Others whom | could name
to make out prima facie case before
a magistrate at the time of their ar
rest"
At the same time Mr.. Perkins advo-
Gated permitting defendants who plead

John WANAMAkER.

wanamaker began his business life az
a clerk in a small dry goods store. By
thrift and economy he was able to save
a part of his earnings. In 1861 he started
in business with mis- brother-in-law with
a combined capital of $4,000. The first
thing he did was to hire the best sales
man in town at a salary Of 1890 a year
nearly a third of his entire capital. His
next step was to spend the entire receipts
of the first days sales for an advertise
ment for the next days business. These
are radical methods but, combined with
Mr.. Wanamaker's personality. have won
for him great success.
It is said of his early business life that
many Of mis- customers were country folk,
whose trade and friendship he vetued
very highly. 1t was his custom to III
his pockets with chestnuts, and slipping
some OF them into the hands OF his Gus
toners. he would take them about the
store, munching chestnuts as they went.
Mr.. Wanamaker is now one OF the great-
est of American merchants. A few years
ago he moved into a building built espe-
cially for him. 1t is fifteen stories nignnc;
covers three acres and mas 1,l2o,VVu
square feet of floor space.

POINT FOR THE SCIENTIST
Has Not Been refiniteIy Ascertained as to Whether There ls Snow
 on Mars.

The polar caps on the Martian sur face behave in a manner which cor responds with the snow-covered re- gions of our own world, and on the assumption that the atmosphere Is similar in composition to ours, we would seem to be quite safe in the inference that these patches increas- ing and diminishing as they do un- der decreasing and increasing solar heat are really snow as we know 1t. A difficulty in such an assumption is of course the matter of temperature of which, however, we have no cer- tain knowledge. On the one hand, we know that the planets distance from the sun is such that the inten- sity of solar radiation on its surface is slightly less than one-half as great as with us. Then, too, the low den sity of the atmosphere of Mars would assist in keeping down the tempera-
