CANNOT SIGNAL TO MARS
Having Communication With Our
Neighborlng Planets.

In attempting to communicate with
Mars there are several factors that
must be taken into consideration.
Henry Meier of Center college
summed these up at recent meeting
of the Kentucky Academy of Science.
He said that in the first place the
probably low temperature rarefied
atmosphere and absence of water on
Mars are against the existence there
Of beings similar to ourselves. In the
next place signaling by light must be
given up, for the reason that the
earth's atmosphere would absorb 40
per cent Of the light sent out, and
the distance was so great that an
area of light ten miles square on the
earth would, if seen from Mars
through a telescope magnifying 500
times, appear like an area one inch
square viewed at a distance of 500
feet. In considering signals by radio,
it has been computed that it would
require a current of a million am
peres at the sending station to OBJ
tain one of one ampere at a receiv-
ing station on Mars. And Mr.. Meier
remarked that the powerful electric
current sent out by the sun would
probably overwhelm the weak waves
sent from the earth.

LESSON In LIFE OF EMPRESS
Never Better ExempIfied Than
by Unhappy Eugene.

In the middle '7Os I had, for several
years, a suite Of rooms In hotel In
st. Gall, Switzerland. Returning from
one Of my periodical trips to England,
the proprietor informed me that he
had taken the liberty of permitting a
lady and her attendant to occupy the
rooms for a night, as the hotels were
all full. She was middle-aged wom-
an. Of sorrowful aspect, dressed in
black, and walked with a cane, and
although travelling incognito, was rec
ognized by one of the hotel staff as
ex-Empress Eugene, widow Of Napol-
con the Little, who owned a chateau
near Schaffhausen.
That was about 1874 And only a
few weeks ago this unhappy woman,
who had long been tired Of life, died
at the age Of ninety-four.
What sad and checkered career
Born in Spain, of an unassuming aris-
tocratic family, raised to the glitter
ing throne of the second empire, lead
er of Europe's fashion and frivolity,
losing, within a few years, her throne,
her husband and her son, then, an ex-
lie, visiting from time to time, like a
black ghost, the scenes of her former
trfumphs.

Builder of Soils.

Most of the fame that has come to
the humble cowpea has arisen from
its extremely practical value as a
builder of soils and as feed crop.
1t is legume and, plowed under, its
vines give the needed humus to soils
lacking this necessary quality.
Its name isn't poetical. either, but
it is entitled to place among the
most beautiful Towering plants in this
country. It's cousin is our vari-col-
ored sweet pea. In blossom field
of cowpeas, with their dark, glossy
leaves, looks exactly as if a myriad
host of purple butterflies, each with
two yellow spots on its wings, had
settled upon 1t for momentary rest,
and when the wind blows the resem-
hlance Is even more marked.

Experiment in cross-Breeding.

A most interesting experiment has
been going on in the county of Mid
lothian. Some years ago Professors
Ewart obtained a fine male zebra from
Africa, and crossed him with q pony
mare. The resulting animal, called a
zebrule, is strong, hardy, very intelli-
gent, and easily broken to saddle and
harness. The zebrule stands about
fourteen hands high, and can easily
carry twelve stone. These creatures
are very good trotters, and some have
already been sent to India for govern.
ment use. 1t is quite likely that the
new animal may gradually take the
place of the mule.-Exchange.

Widespread and determined are the eff

nation Of what is held to be harmful

force in favor of evil.
In view Of the pictures which are in

that the censorship which is supposed TO

while greater efforts are being made to
have the censorship amount to something

BrE FOR Much oppos1r1oN

Indications point strongly to the fact
that there viii be many to be heard in
opposition to the bill now before the state
legislature in which it is sought to bring
the control of osleopaths chiropracters
cptometrists, dentists and medical doctors
Of the state under one board of examin,
ers instead Of separate board for each
one. The purpose apparently is to give
much greater power to the state board of
health and from such representations as
have been made against the>proposed bill
it is question whether Connecticut de-
sires to take any such step.
At the present time there are boards of
examiners for each kind Of practitioners
picked from those who are especially
qualified to conduct examinations and
who of course have received an educa-
ton in\ their particular science. This. as
it is understood, would not be the case
with the proposed Capitalization and one
Of the strong objections against the pro-
posed bilr is that applicants for license

appear before a board the members Of
which would be made up of men WHOSE
knowledge Of their science would be in.
sufficient should the applicants happen tx
be other than those involved in the prac
tice of medicine.
The bill is apparently one Of thos,
which is sure to call forth a large amour
of discussion. If there is a determine

convincing reasons on the part of tn
advocates to show why such regulation
should be resorted to. while those VIII
