saving a couple of families in blazing
homes in New Jersey towns. F1em-

Of feline heroism.
1t was in Pennington that cat.

against them. rehearsed its act so
furiously and continuously in the
early morning that it awakened the
family of Joseph Z. Major. The head
Of the family investigated, smelled
smoke and managed to save his home
from destruction.
In Vineland the cat came forth with
a we'll singed fur in time to wreck the
family dinner and inform the inhabl-
tants that the upper floor was ablaze.
This warning came too late to save
the home, but afforded the family
plenty of time to escape.

Gland Patients Vision and Hearing Greatly

Marvellous Progress Made by
Bacon Is Encouraging Both

NEW YORK, Oct. Striving Il
Bacon. monkey gland patient. showed
more improvement yesterday, his doc
tors claimed, than on any of the
four days following his operation. He
sat beside a window In his suite a,
the Hotel Majestic, where he Is con

part Of that time he wrote an article
which appears in today's Washing

1t was the first time that Bacon
had used typewriter since submit

thirty letters. Apparently his case
has aroused countrywide interest for
he has received to date hundreds OF
messages from many cities.
Four Important Symptoms.
DIR. Thomas Webster Edgar's ex
animation yesterday disclosed what
DIR. Edgar characterizes four impor,
tant symptoms Of Improvement. DR.
Edgar believes that Bacon's vision

coloring have improved.
Bacon himself attests to the fact
that he feels stronger and more able
to indulge in mental activity than at
any previous time within the last five
years.
If Bacon continues to improve to.
day at the rate registered yesterday
his physicians declared, he will be
permitted to walk for ten minutes in
doors.
Despite his improvement, he Is not
permitted to see callers, scores Of
whom have besieged his apartment.
The reason for this is given by DR..
Edgar, who said:
Appetite Improves.
This case is by far too importan Mt
TO permit of constant intrusion by
Well-meaning persons, even though
they are old friends Of the patient.
1t must be understood that tests are
constantly going on to determine his
condition"
Bacon's appetite had improved to
such degree that he ate a large
meal. Examination Of his digestive
processes showed that he suffered no
Ill effects from partaking of an
abundance Of food, according to Drs.
Edgar and ]. A. McLeay. Before the

Harvard Astronomers Plates

lite Believed to Be PeopIed.

BOSTON, Oct. S.-Prof. William
Henry Pickering, one Of the worlds
foremost astronomers and a leading
authority upon both Lunar and Mar
tan phenomena, has just completed
a series of telescope observations at
the Harvard astronomical station at
Vaudeville, Jamaica. British West
Indies, which. he asserts, prove be
yond a doubt that life exists on the
surface of the moon.
Big Crater Photographed.
Although Professor Pickering re-
Trains from making any reference to
the possibility that men and women
and intelligent beings dwell upon the
mountain sides, in the valleys, or
within the hidden Lunar caves and
Businesses, his discoveries indicate
that such beings may live upon the
moon.
Professor chickering's studies upon
which he bases his assertions as to
moon life are the result Of a series
of telescope photographs of a crater
upon the moons surface known as
ErAesthenes II. with a circumfer-
ence of 81 miles.
The pictures taken cover a period
from August, 1920. to February.

be shown on the entire surface Of
the planet Mars.
Hundreds of reproductions were
made OF different sections Of this
great moon crater. Scientific exam
ination OF the Photographic plates
proves with irrefutable certainty,
Professor Pickering asserts, that
vast fields Of foliage. moon vegeta'
ton, spring up with almost un.
believable rapidity when day begins
to dawn upon the lunar planet, that
these wide sweeps of flora come TO
full blossom; and then as rapidly
wane and disappear, vanishing com.
pletely in maximum period OF
eleven and in some cases less num-
Der of days.
Presence Of Vegetation.
The Harvard scientists moon plates
disclose not only the presence OF vege
tation on the moon but reveal other
phenomena hitherto thought to-be alb
sent there. The moon becomes as
much a live" planet as Mars.
Scientific studies of the photographs
disclose that billiards. and snowstorms
sweep across a portion of the moon
that volcanic eruptions are frequent
there, that fields of moisture, of mist
| and fog appear and disappear, that
clouds abound on the moon.
In detailing his latest studies of the
moon, Prof. Pickering says:
I'VE find there living world lyint
at our very doors. where life in some
respects resembles that on Mars, bu
it is entirely unlike anything on oul

cal professor in general for the pas
