GREATER THAN A KING.

The Old Mississippi River Pilot was
Law Unto Himsslf.
In that early day to be a pilot was to
be greater than a king" The Missis-
sippi river pilot was a law unto HIM
self-there was none above him. HIS
direction Of the boat was absolute; he
could start or lay up when he chose;
he could pass a landing regardless Of
business there, consulting nobody, noe
even the captain; he could take the
boat into what seemed certain destruc-
ton, If he had that mind, and the cap
tain was obliged to stand by. helpless
and silent, for the law was with the
pilot in everything.
Furthermore, the pilot was q gentle
man. His work was clean and physic-
ally light. It ended the Instant me
boat was tied to the landing and did
not begin again until it was ready to
back into the stream; also for those
days his salary was princely-the vice
president Of the United States dl0snot

SlSSlppl pllOts pcASACu AA6A Ia LAY o~~
Enclosure, %fashionably dressed and COM
manding all below him, was the most
conspicuous and snowy, the most OBJ
served and envied creature in q
world.
No wonder Sam Clemens, with his
love Of the river and his boyish fond
ness for honors, should aspire to that
stately rank. Even at twenty-one he
was still just a boy-as indeed he was
till his death-and we may imagine
how elated he was, starting up the
great river Us a real apprentice pilot
who in a year or two would stand at
the wheel, as his chief was now stand
ing, a monarch with a splendid income
and all the great river packed away
in his head.-Albert Bigelow Paine in

PLANETS AND GRAVITY.
The Vast Difference In Conditions Upon
Mars and Jupiter.

The Vast Difference In Conditions Upon
Mars and Jupiter.
In an article entitled lis Mars
Alive?" in the Popular Science Monthly
Waldemar Kaemp6ert describes the
possible appearance Of q Marian. In
speaking of the different conditions
prevailing on the planets Mr.. Kaempf.
fert says:
1.-THE bigger the planet on which you
live, the harder it is for you to move
about. If you were suddenly transport
ed to Jupiter, the largest Of the plan
cts, and If you were able to live on its
semi-molten surface, you would nnd 1t
hard to lift your arm. A steam crane
would be welcome assistance In NOV
ing your body about. This Is due en-
tirely to the enormous gravitational at
traction which Jupiter would exert
upon you. The bigger the planet the
harder are you pulled down to its sur
face; the harder it is. to put your foot
forward. .
"Mars is only one-ninth as massive
as the earth. Hence you would weigh
much less on Mars than you do on the
earth. A Marian porter could easily
carry as much as a terrestrial elephant.
A Marian baseball player could bat a
ball a mile. A very ordinary Marian
athlete could leap with ease Owe a
moderately sized house. Because his
planet is not able to pull him down
with the attractive force that the earth
exerts upon us, the typical Marian
has conceivably attained a stature that
we would regard as gigantic. Three
times as large as a human being, this
creature has muscles twenty-seven
times as effective. His trunk must be
fashioned to inclose lungs capable Of
breathing the excessively attenuated
Marian air in sufficiently large guam
titles to sustain life. As a canal dig
ger-assuming that he had no machin-
ery-he would be a great success. be-
cause he would excavate a canal with
the speed and efficiency Of a small Pan.
anna canal steam shovel.
Beyond that we cannot go. Intelli-
gence is not necessarily q human at
tribute. It has so happened on this
earth that man has become the domi-
nant rae not because of his physical
powers, but because Of his brains. 1t
may well be that the biological condi-
lions Of Mars are such that q creature
very unhuman in appearance may have
gained the ascendency In the struggle
for existence on a planet that is fast
drying up"

Uneanny insect Trap With Which the
Pitcher Plant 10 Armed.
No trapper eve invented a snare for
his prey more ingenious or a trap that
ever had a higher percentage of catch
es" than the pitcher plant, for few in
sects ever escape from the clutches Of
this horticultural meat eater. he
catches them, holds them, browns them
and finally eats them.
And while he's doing 1t he smiles 50
i%nnocently and prettily that you would
imagine him one Of the quietest and
most peaceable flowers of the woods.
His leaves are his insect traps. They
are a greenish purple and fold together
like a c%ornucopia, with a half closed
lid covering the top. The inner walls
Of this pitcher are lined with hairs.
which point downward and are COW
cred with a sweet, sticky fluid.
This fluid is regular "candy" for the
bees and flies. The insect enters the
half closed door Of the pitcher. tastes
the honey and begins to explore the in
terror. AS he crawls forward the hairs
bend with him and give him free pas
sage. But when he tries to return he
finds that these hairs are verttable
barbed wire entanglements to keep
him a prisoner.
The insect tries to fly out, and the
curve at the top of the pitcher bars his
way. He lodges this way and that, be-
wildered, until he tunbles in a little
well at sthe bottom of the pitcher.
