CROSS RIVER TOWNS

have been accustomed to getting their
water of the Riverton Water Com
pany, from the city filter plant on the
island
City Commissioner Harry f. Bow
man, superintendent of public safety,
to-day completed arrangements with
the RiVerton firm to supply it with
Harrisburg filtered water and the plan
will go into effect early tomorrow
morning.
The Riverton company, it is under
stood, will be unable to pump sufF-
cient water for a week or so because of
breakdown in its machinery and rs
soon as this state of affairs was dis
covered the officials Immediately got
in touch with Commissioner Bowman.
All told the Riverton company will
need about 100000 gallons daily so
that in the next ten days something
like 100000 gallons of filtered water
will be pumped through the west side
feed main, leading from the filter
plant to the Cumberland shore.
Not only will Harrisburg not mind
the loss of the water, but it will be the
gamer financially by the transaction.
Commissioner Bowman will get five
cents a thousand gallons for the fluid

Settlements With Property Claim
ants in WicOniscO Valley Filed

Claims aggregating nearly $4,000 for
damages to meadow and low farm
lands along Wiconisco creek by the
overhowing of fine coal culm from the
banks in that section of the country,
were settled yesterday with the own
ers of the properties by the Susque-

ments were filed with County Record
er o. G.. Wickersham to-day.
The culm was washed down by the
creek freshets each year for the last
several years and the fine. sand-like,
vegetation destroying particles of coal
has been gradually destroying the low
lands. BY agreeing upon settlements
with the property owners for certain
amounts the coal company need fear
no lawsuits in the future.

were filed on record to-day include the

along the limb, or edge, of the globe
of the planet, where the eye ranges
through a greater thickness of atmos-
phere, and Professor Pickering arrives
at the conclusion that the proportion
of watery vapor in the atmosphere of
Mars is greater than in that OF the
earth. This would have an important
effect in modifying the low tempera-
ture to which Mars is subjected in
consequence of it's great distance from
the sun-141, 100000 miles as against
93,OOO,OO0 miles for the earth.
But, while his observations lead to
the conclusion tht the amount of the
Vapor or water in the atmosphere of
Mars is relatively great, they also show
that the quantity of liquid water upon
the planet is very small. Yet there ap-
pears to be enough to produce some
remarkable phenomena. For instance,
while the northern snow-cap on Mars
was receding, during the advance of
the last March a spring, in it's northern
hemisphere, a dark area south of the
snow became conspicuous. At first it
was $50 miles long. Within two days
its length had increased to 500 miles,
and within another two days to about
a thousand miles!
This strange area had a high color,
and aN"shiny surface" suggesting that
1t was covered with water formed by
the melted polar SHOWS. But Professor
Pickering thinks that it was more
probably a vast marsh whose soil had
been mostened by the snow-water, so
that the thick swampy vegetation
sprang up almost Immediately, and
gave a dark hue to the entire region.
The most original suggestion Of
fered by Professor Pickering is that
the atmosphere of Mars is remarkably
foggy, and that, owing to the general
flatness of the surface, without hills
and mountains, the fog may be local
lied at night in selected regions, un-
der artificially produced conditions
(probably of an electrical nature) so
that it's moisture may stimulate vege-
tation, in the absence of sufficiency
of water in the soil

most critical period of the campaign.

miliar with the campaigns of our civil
war as is Sir John. He has made

circular form, the extent of which
varies with the seasons on Mars,
spreading in winter and receding in
summer.
When you consider these things in
connection with the further facts that
Mars rotateS on it's axis in almost eX-
actly the same period that the earth
does (about twenty-four hours), Civ
ing it days and nights like ours, and
that it has the same succession of
seasons that we have, except that
they are each nearly twice as long as
ours lowing to the greater length of
Mars year, or time of revolution
clude that Mars is a habitable world,
whose inhabitants may not be very diff
ferent in physical makeup from our
selves.
Is There Life on Mars?
Now, the whole question is there.
Do these major resemblanches between
Mars and the earth warrant us in con-
cluding, in spite of many minor differ
ences, that Mars is like the earth in
being theater of life? Some astron-
omers, and Professor Pickering is
among them, are disposed to think
that the answer should be in the af-
firmative. 1t is to establish. if pos
sible, the proof of the existence of life,
in some form, upon Mars that the
studies at Jamaica have been under
taken. Even the possibility of our COM
municating, from the earth, by some
kind of interplanetary telegraphy,
with the inhabitants of that distant
world has been considered. But we
must first be sure that there are in
habitants there for us to talk with.
Professor Pickering's monthly re-
ports, as l have said, resemble weather
bulletins. This is because they are
mostly confined to phenomena on Mars
which appear to be connected with the
changing state of its atmosphere. 1t
is difficult to resist the conclusion that
many of the objects whose appearance
was recognized by the observer were
really clouds floating in the atmos-
phere of Mars. They are seen mostly
