ties, with headquarters in Albany, N
Y, is receiving requests from all ovel
the country for large quantities ol
special literature in connection with
its Humane Sunday and BE Kind
to Animals Week" observance. Fro.
testant and Catholic churches arr
asked to observe Humane Sunday
on May 2lst. Jewish congregations
and others observing Saturday as the
Sabbath will have their special cels-
oratin on May goth. The week OF
May 18th will be known as ''Be Kind
to Animals Week" The purpose OF
the whole observance is to center at,
tention on the relation and duty OF
man to the defenseless forms of hu-
man and animal life. How much need
there is for the treatment of this sub
ject is shown by the fact that more
than $50 active anti-cruelty societies
were called upon to interfere during
1915 in cases of cruelty involving
2l2215 children and 2,Ss4,721 ami
mails.
Humane sunday met with gres sue
cess last year when it was first de-
veloped on a nationwide scale. Hun.
dreds OF clergymen all over the Unit.
ed States devoted a whole or part vi
one service to it. Early indications
point to far larger number taking
up the work this spring than did last
year. While ant-cruelty societies
are backing up this movement they
are not asking for special contribu-
tions or collections.
The BE Kind to Animals Week"
celebration is designed to bring mora
wildly before the public the import
ant part that animals play in the eco
nomic and social life OF man ana how
essential it is that they be accorded
kind treatment. To this end local so.
cleties for the prevention of cruelty
to animals are planning for work
horse parades, pet animal shows. spe-
cial illustrated lectures, publicity cam.
paigns and other means Of aroEsing
the public. The Boy Scouts and comp
Fire Girls are cooperating with local
committees in many localities. ANY,

Sunday literature can secure it by

outlast the available water. Those of

ness of scarcity of water constantly
growing greater, till at last they
would die of thirst either directly or
indirectly; for either they themselves
would have water enough to drinR,
or the plants or animals which consti-
tuted their diet would perish for lack
of it-an alternative of small choice
to them, unless they were conven-

A Marriage Proposal.

One of our giddy youngsters of the
male persuasion recently decided to
make a formal offer of his heart and
hand to one of our representative
ladies to whom he had been paying
some attention for time. He eau
tiously prefaced his declarations with
a few questions: Did she love him
we'll enough to live in cottage with
him? Was she good cook? Did she
think it a wife's duty to make home
happy? Would she consult his tastes
and wishes concerning her associates
and pursuits of life? Could she make
her own clothes? The young lady
said that before she answered his
questions she would tell him of some
negative virtues she possessed. She
never drank, smoked or chewed; nev-
er staid out all night playing bill
liards; never lounged on street cor
ners and ogled giddy girls; never
"stood in" with the boys for cigars
and wine suppers. Now" said she,
rising Indignantly, 81 am assured you
do all these things, and yet expect
all the virtues in me, while you do
not possess any yourself. I can never
be your wife," and she bowed him
out and left him on the door step to
silently mediate over his venture,
wiser man.-Gaffney Ledger.

American Petroleum.

The first reference to the discovery
of petroleum in America is contained
in a letter written on this date in
1929 by Joseph de la Roche d'Allion,
a French missionary in the Indies. He
had crossed the Niagara river and
made his way southwark through
western New York into northern
Pennsylvania, where he found spring
from which oil flowed. This oil was
highly esteemed by the Indians for
medicinal uses. The letter of the
priest was published in 1882 in Sa-
CARDS ''Historie du Canada This oil
spring was probably Identical with
the one described by the Massachu-
setts Magazine in 1889: I'm the
northern part of Pennsylvania there
is creek called Oil creek, which en-
ties into the Allegheny river. 1t is
sues from a spring, on the top Of
which floats an oil, similar to that
called Barbados tar, and from which
one may gather several gallons a
day. The troops sent to guard the
western posts halted at the same
spring, collected some of the oil, and
bathed their joints with it. This gave
them great relief rom the rheuma-
tism with which they were afflicted.
The water, of which the troops drank
freely, operated as a gentle purge. y

The Explorer of Mars.

Percival Lowell, an astronomer OF
international fame, died at Flag
staff, Arizona, recently He was
the founder and director of the Low
ell Observatory there, which is the
best astronomical point in the world
for the observation of Mars.
His fame rests on the association
of his name with the theory that
Mars is inhabited. In 1907 he an
nounced that his observations at
Flagstaff convinced him that such is
the case. This started great as
Economical controversy, although
many eminent stargazers in Europe
and America agreed with Lowell. His
one great task was to prove that he
was right. He devoted his life to
the endeavor.
! His theory began with the demon
stration that the primary essentials
for human life exist on the planet
water, heat and atmosphere. His
positive proof of the existence of hu-
man life on Mars is the net work OF
lines which mark certain areas of the
planets face, which he believed indi-
Gated the digging of artificial canals,
which would call for intelligence and
engineering skill as great as that
possessed by the dwellers on this
earth
The vast white surfaces on the
poles of Mars are polar snoWcaps,
Lowell held. The fact that they
shrink in size and increase again at
certain seasons indicates the snowfall
of the Martian winter. Lowell de-
scribed a series of observations in
which it was discovered that with
the advent of a Marian spring and
the melting of the polar snow, some
of the dark areas grew darker, show
ing straight black lines criss-crossed
over their surface of the orange
ochre areas, and that with the COM
ing of the Martian autumn, those
dark areas and lines practically faded.
practically faded.
In his book, Prof. Lowell said:
t'But. if instead of being due to wa
ter the blue-green had been due to
the leaves and grasses, just such a
fading out as was observed should
have taken place as autumn came on,
and that without disproportionate in
crease of green elsewhere, for the
great confidential areas being desert
are incapable of supporting vegeta-
ton; from which it follows that
Mars is badly off for water, and that
the planet is dependent on the melt
ing of the polar SHOWS for practically
its whole supply.
''Now, if a planet were at any
stage of it's career able to support life
it is probable that diminishing water
