ANNALS OF MARS AN
 OPTICAL ILLUSION

The theory of the canals of liars, which has for long been dvanced by prominent atrono- mers with such an appeal to the popular imagination, has receiv- cd somewhat severe setback by the report of the section for the observation of Mars of the Brit ish Astronomical association. The report, just issued under the direction of E. NJ. Antonadi, an nounces that the famous canals of Mars are an optical illusion.
 "The alleged existence of a 9eometrical network of canals on Mars has received a lasting and unanswerable confutation, is the conclusion at which the director of the British Astronomical asso- citation has arrived after prolong- ed study. The observations were made through the great Meudon -efractor at Meudon, France. the
 most powerful telescrope in the old world Although the report has just been issued the observa- tionS were carried out during the perihelic opposition of 1900.
 Dr. Antoniadi confesses that in working with smaller instru- ments he himself, like other ob-- servers, has obtained frequent

glimpses of narrow, straight lines. But in the B 3-4 inch reflector at Meudon these lines were seen only when the definition was red and the image of planet haring.' , With good seeing, a complex na- tural structure of the so-called Continental regions of the planet was revealed, a variety of irregular bands and shadings re- placing the sharp, narrow lines drawn by Giovanni Schiaparelli, the Italian astronomer, with the use of his s I-2 inch refractor.

NAVAL STATION PROPOSED.
Burlington is Told that 1t May BE Sc
lected for the Government.

Burlington, Dec. 20.-It was stated by
Ensign Harris in charge OF the locaf
navy recruiting station yesterday that
while nothing could be announced Official
ly, there was little doubt that II proper
interest was displayed by the people in
this territory, there would be naval
training school on Lake Champlain next
summer which would operate ON some
what the same lines as the military
camp at Plattsburg.
Mr.. Harris and Col. Ira l.. Reeves OF
Norwich university have taken the mat
ter up through unofficial channels and ev-
cry possible attempt is being made by
them to secure the school.
The proposed school would be similar
to that Of Culver Military academy,
probably and the training would be about
like the summer training of the plebe
class of the United States Naval acad-
envy.
The school would last three or four
months and would be along lines de-
signed to build up the students physical
Nv and make them familiar with work
on the water.
A torpedo boat could be brought on
the lake easily through the canal and
in addition to that there would be sailing
and rowing craft,
The question as to the location of the
naval base is of course undecided, but
II will without doubt go to the town
which displays the greater interest in
the school.

DAIRYMEN TO ORGANIZE.
Plans for Simultaneous Meetings at the
County Seats All Over New England.

Springfield, Mass, Dec. 20.-Richard
Pattee, secretary of the New England
Milk Producers association, who is max
ing his headquarters in this city Monday
announced plans for organizing milk pro-
ducers throughout New England. Meet
ings for this purpose will be held at ~
a. m. Saturday, Dec. 30, in practically
every county seat in the six states, and
movement started to bring together
the 100000 men. owning 100000 cows,
into one central body. Hampden county
is one Of the few out of the 60 counties
where meeting will not be held, as the
dairymen are already organized in the
Springfield Milk Producers association
which will later be merged into the CEN
trail body.
Organizers from the association will
attend the meetings to direct matters.
After the county organizations have been
started. each state will be taken sep
arately and corps of workers will go into
every town to complete unification. 1t
is expected to have the work completed
by February, when the annual meeting
of the association will be held, In this
way the producers will be in position
to obtain the full market value for milk,
cream. butter and cheese.
In statement describing the move
ment Mr.. Pattee said
''The idea is better prices for better
milk, cooperative buying OF supplies,
associated selling. The New England
Milk Producers association proposes
that the brand of Made in New Eng
land applied to dairy products shall be-
come SO well and favorably known to
New England consumers that every
pound of milk and cream, butter and
cheese, consumed by the millions in New
England shall be produced in New Eng
land. 1t is believed that this plan may
double the amount of money paid to
New England farmers for dairy products,
eventually. 1t may do more for agri-
culture, for the upbuilding and for the
prosperity of rural New England than
any other one thing,
Each county meeting viii be under
the combined auspices of the agricultur-
al leadership of the county. 1t will be
provided with full suggestions as to Just
what to do and how to do it, provided
the farmers present approve. 1t is ex-
