It Is regrettable that Prof. Rus.
sell does not admit similar evi.
dence Of the presence of life on
Venus. His skepticism with re-
gard to that beautiful planet
seems to rest upon the failure of
certain Investigators to detect
oxygen in its atmosphere. But
this failure cannot be regarded
as a decisive test.
The circumstances under which
Venus is observed with our teie-
scopes and other instruments are
quite different from those affect
ing Mars. The latter presents
the whole Of its surface plainly
to the view Of telescopes, except
where portions are obscured by
clouds. But Venus is entirely en-
veloped with clouds, and it is
doubtful If any part of her real
surface Is ever visible to us. But
her atmosphere is deep and
abundant, and the cloud region
probably lies higher than on the
earth, so that the under portion
of the atmosphere of Venus,
which we never see, is profound.
1t may well be that the presence
of oxygen is not detected because
enough OF that element does not
exist in the higher regions of the
atmosphere to record its presence
on our instruments. In almost all
respects, Venus seems q more
suitable abode for life than Mars.
Watch her now glowing so bril-
liantly in the sunset sky and
greet her, too, as a sister Of the

On Managing a Salad

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Here is question which has
puzzled me for a long time. Does
one eat the vegetables of q salad
especially lettuce and tomatoes)
with or without a knife? This
has embarrassed me several times,
since l have trouble cutting let
tuce without a knife. So you see
you will render me the best
service If you will be kind enough
to answer. A READER.
TT is customary to eat salad, all
i the constituents of a salad,
with fork only, the salad fork.
But, in the continental serv.
ice" at table, knives and forks in.
stead OF only the fork are custo-
marily placed for salads. And, in
this country now very markedly
of late the tendency is toward
placing both a knife and fork for
courses for which formerly we
had only fork. The salad course
is one. With the regulation salad
fork or other appropriate small
fork, is placed a small silver knife
in proportion to the fork. All of
which means, of course, that it is
correct to eat q salad with both
a knife and fork, If you wish to.
But the fork should be a silver
one. A steel fork becomes dis
colored by the salad dressing.

Confidence in yourself and the
