The many speculations as to the possible inhabitants of Mars and their supposed engineering works (the socalled canals) have been mooted with more or less ingenuity. In our opinion the probabilities in favor of the habltablllty of Venus are vastly greater. This planet, says Prof. Young, is "the earth's twin sister in magnitude, density and general constitution." Surface markings have been seen from time to time upon the planet, * ' -? J i- Ta?1 more cnsuncuy ooserveu m luiiy auu other more favored latitudes than our own. On account of Its general proximity to the region of the sky in which the sun is found and its great brilliancy in the telescope, Venus is by no means an easy object to scrutinize with satisfactory results. However, its phases or changes of appearance, like the moon, are easily perceived with very small optical aid, and were among the first fruits of the invention of the telescope, exactly three centuries ago. From certain irregularities observed upon the terminator or boundary of the limb and the blunted appearance of one of the cups of the crescent, various observers have concluded that there exists high mountains upon the planet's suriace. Sometimes when the planet is in the crescent phase intensely bright spots have been seen near tne poiar regions which may perhaps be ice caps like those seen on Mars. Darkish markings Indicating continents and seas "dimly visible," are also at times seen, and a rough map of Venus was made by Blanchlnl long ago. His observations were confirmed by thousands of observations made by De Vico and his assistants, so may be considered to represent real features of the surface. There Is evidence of the existence of an atmosphere and from observations of the transit of the planet across the sun's disk in 1874 It was concluded that the atmosphere is about one and one-half times to twice as extensive as our own. existence of water vapor has been shown by the spectroscope. At times the dark portion of. the light, has been faintly visible, from which it has been considered probable that phenomena of the nature of the aurora take place from time to time upon Venus. So far as known the planet has no satellite or moon attendant upon it, but to a great extent the want of moon Is made up for to the possible inhabitants by the earth. When Venus and the earth are nearest, they are on the same side of the sun, and the planet, turning its dark side toward us, is invisible like the moon when now. On the other hand, the earth has the whole of its illuminated side turned toward the planet, is on the opposite part of the sky to the sun and is consequently visible as a brilliant object ("full earth") in the night sky of the planet We knew from the phenomenon of earth shine that the earth reflects a considerable qi entity of light to the moon, part of which 1b again reflected back to us, and if we suppose the Intrinsic reflecting power of the earth's surface to be equal to that of Venus (It may, indeed, be, and probably is, considerably less) it must give much greater light to the planet and be a much more brilliant object in its sky that Venus ever appears to us, owing to the following circumstances. When brightest only a small part of the planet's illuminated surface is turned toward us, but even so it appears more conspicuous than any other star or planet In our sky. and is often visible in day light. On the other hand, the whole of the earth's illuminated hemisphere is turned toward Venus when they are at their nearest together, and the earth is then on the meridian at the planet's midnight, being in opposition to the sun. Thus as a night luminary tne earth to some extent plays toward Venus the part the moon does for us. We have seen that there is evidence of the existence of continents and seas, air and water vapor upon the planet. The amount of sunlight it receives, though greater than our share, is not excessively so, for there appears reason to believe that polar snow caps exist, and In other respects, for conditions favorable to the existence of beings organized not very much unlike those with which we are familiar on this earth, we have as much evidence as we can reasonably expect. We may thus conclude that the planet is in most respects not dissimilar to the earth, and is the abode of life, at least in the regions north and south of the equator, if not on the "torrid zone" itself.?Knowledge and Scientific News. WALL STREET FORTUNES. Aggregate Runs Into the Billions. If E. H. Harriman was worth only 180,000,000 he was very poorly paid, from the Wall street standpoint, for the work that he did. I have reason, however, to believe that Harriman was worth a great deal more than this. It was estimated to me in 1908, when Harriman started the Stock Market upward with the Union Pacific at under 120 that he had taken on 2,000,000 shares of various stocks. These stocks are now selling for more than $100,000,000 above their cost price. I should estimate Harriman to have been worth nearer $200,000,000 than $100,000,000. * J 1 A^lmntou rxt 1 UUU I umr llic SUCVl C.TVIIIICIIVO ui great fortunes; there is as much effort to conceal great fortunes as there is. to magnify little ones. Money, however, Is not made by Wall street gambling or by short sales of securities. It Is made in large amounts by acquiring properties or shares, putting more money and still more watchful care into them, and into properties they represent, and building them up to an investment basis, then disposing of them to investors and reinvesting at a more opportune time, in them or in abandoned low-priced or reorganized properties. The first fortune of size made in bearing the Stock Market is yet to be found, it is, therefore, a policy of the Standard Oil people never to go short In the Stock Market except against their own box. They know a better way. They simply go long on money, let the bears play with the Stock Market and mark prices down, and then, at a convenient opportunity, they go into the Stock Market with their millions. and having both the money market and the share market in their own hands, they move forward and their progression Is marked by the hundred millions. All the great fortunes are now In| alliance. They cannot now safely move otherwise than together. If the public will take their stocks the big men will | be happy to receive the money, and the public can then run the properties.

Baker at between $150,000,000 and $200,000,000. and these today are the four kings of American finance. Although George F. Baker Is one of the richest men in the United States, and one of the most active in American finance, he is one about whom the American public hears the least. He Is director in forty-nine corporations, of which nineteen are railroads.?Adams in Boston News Bureau. FAMOUS CLOCKS. Lyons Cathedral s Wonderful Mechanical Timepiece. Our Paris pnnipmnoranes remind one of Mark Twain's account of the public clocks of Geneva. They -h .v a sublime independence of one another, especially where facts are concerned. The latest instance is in regard to the clock of the Palais de Jujtlc-. which is now undergoing restoration. Two papers assert that it was constructed between 1585 and 1685, while a third declares that it only dates from 1852, that it is the replica of the work of Germain Pilon, and that the original was set up in the time of Henry IH. Although the clock is famous, there are others, we learn, which are still more so, for instance the clock at the Cathedral of Lyons. The clock of Lyons Cathedral Is a ' wonderful piece of mechanism, and the legend describing it is as follows: The cock crows, the bell sounds the hours, the little bells the Sancta Splrltus; 'he angel opens the gate to salute the Virgin Mary. The two heads of the lions move the eyes and the tongue. The astrolabe shows the hours in its degree, ana me movement ui me muun. muitover, the perpetal calendar shows all the days of the year, the feast days, the bissextile. The hours at which the chimes are complete are five and six In the afternoon. The chimes at the other hours are restricted so as not to interfere with the Cathedral services. Complicated Indeed is the clock of Beauvais of 92,000 separate pieces, according: to a French journal. One sees on the fifty-two dial plates the hour, the day, the week, and the month; the rising; and the setting of the sun, the phases of the moon, the tides, the time in the principal capitals of the world, together with a series of terrestrial and astronomical evolutions. The frame work is of carved oak 8 meters by 1'*e meters, or 26 feet by 16J feet When the clock strikes all the "edifice" seems in movement. The designer wished to depict the last Judgment. This wonderful work recalls the clock of Strasburg, and is of modern construction. It is the work of Beauvaslan M. Verite, who was In the engineering department of the Nord Railway. He died in 1887. The cock crows, angels sound the trumpet at the four cardinal points, imitation flames appear from the openings of little steeples right and left. God, the father, by an inclination of the head, announces that he has come to Judge the world, A soul, that of the Impenitent thief, appears before the Supreme Judge, rt is condemned "a penfer," and a demon armed with a pitcnrorK seizes 11 ana casis it into tne abyss. Next come the soul of the just. ' The angels advance and conduct It to ' the realms of day, sacred strains being 1 heard as the procession moves forward. ! ?London Globe. ' . , 1 I Legend of Narcissus. i Once there was a young fairy who was very vain. He was beautiful, but I selfish, for he loved no one but him- I self. i One day as he was walking beside i a little stream whose waters were as I crystal, he saw a lovely face gazing up 1 at him, and was charmed with its i beauty. He did not know it was his own face, but thought It was a little 1 water fairy and promptly fell in love. ' Every day he went to the stream and smiled at the lovely image reflected i there. He was very happy when the i blue eyes and red lips smiled back at mm. In this way many fine days passed, , but one morning when he arose from his bed in a pansy blossom, he was deeply disappointed to find that the day was dark and dismal. The sun was hidden behind a heavy cloud, and big raindrops were falling. However, he felt that he must see his divinity, so he went to the stream as usual. The strong north wind ruffled the water so that the face was completely hidden from him. He thought the water fairy must be angry, and waited several hours, hoping that she would repent and smile at him once more, out the day gradually raded Into night and still the fair face refused to show itself. At last, after long watching, the heartbroken fairy lover sickened and died. But even death could not rob him of his beauty, for the fairy queen changed him into a graceful flower, with a sweet, delicate face. This dear little flower is called the narcissus and grows on the banks of streams, where it can bend over the water and gaze at its own image reflected there.?Pittsburg Preas. The Fourteen Errors of Life. The fourteen mistakes of life, Judge Reptoul told the Batholomew club, are: To attempt to set up our own standard of right and wrong, and expect everybody to conform to it. To try to measure the enjoyment of l oiners oy our own. To expect uniformity of opinion In this world. To look for judgment and experience in youth. To endeavor to mold all dispositions alike. Not to yield in unimportant trifles. To look for perfection in our own actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied.* Not to alleviate, if we can, all that needs alleviation. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything: impossible that we cannot ourselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that it would live forever. To estimate people by some outside quality, for it is that within which makes the man.?London Evening Standard. 'tS~ The human heart weighs, on an average, from 9 to 11 ounces.. CHEATING AT CARDS. Some of the Method* Employed By Ingeniou* Sharpers. In the card sharping fraternity there ire men who on no account whatever ivould use mechanical aids when fleecng a victim. Neither would they work svlth a confederate who employes such, rhelr motto is, "Don't carry any eviiencee of guilt about you.' And that Is tvhy they rely, for the most part, on .'alse shuffles, cuts and bottom deals to enable them to stack the cards, 1. a, to place them so that when dealt out the trickster or his partner gets the best hand. This merely entails certain sleight)f-hand cleverness. On the other hand, it Is highly inconvenient, as a well known crook remarked a short time igo, "to be found with a 'puncher' (a jteel point used for marking cards), shiners' (tiny mirrors, by means of svhlch the faces of the cards dealt to in opponent are revealed) or a 'bug* (a V-shaped holder, with a sharp point on >ne side which can be thrust Into the iower surface of the table ledge and made to serve as a sort of shelf to hold :ards. "Out west," he continued, "It is Wall street to a popcorn that you vould be 'leaded' if any such aids to die gentle art of 'rooking* were found >n your person." Nevertheless, mechanical aids to sard-sharping are not only largely used, >ut they are actually advertised for sale. The writer was recently shown, is a curiosity, the catalogue of a cerain Chicago store, in which was listed i reflector which could be attached to :he lower surface of the card table by i metal spur. The mirror was convex, uid came to the edge of the table, so :hat the cards could be read as they vere dealt out The glass could be set it an angle and turned back out of dght in an instant. Another very efficient form of relector consists of a small convex miror cemented to a piece of cork shaped :o fit inside the bowl of an ordinary >riar pipe. The "shiner" is carried sepirately in the pocket until needed, vhlle the gambler smokes the pipe. iVhen he stoops to knock out the ashie, he presses the glass into the bowl >f the pipe, which is then laid upon the able with bowl facing toward the >wner a little to the left of where he s sitting. In this position the mirror | s visible to no one but himself. Sometimes tiny reflectors are inserted n the interior of a large quill toothpick, >r may be attached to a ring on the inger or glued to the palm. Of course, >n account of the minuteness of the nirrors, good eyesight is needed to listinguish the cards as they are reelected. But card-sharpers are nothing f not keen-sighted. One of the most wonderful mechanical aids to card sharping was that unearthed in a London gambling den a ihort time ago. It consisted of a specially constructed table containing a ftnrorf onj InvialhlA Hratvor In thA ton which could be opened by a spring: vorked by slightly pressing the edge of he table. Covering the action with his lands and cards, the sharp dropped the jards he wished to transfer to his con'ederate into the opening and a second ipring shot them along a secret passage :o the other side of the table, where here was another secret opening whence the confederate contrived to take them. It reminds the writer of a marvelous oulette table by which a clever Amercan scoundrel fleeced many wealthy -esidents of Long Island of thousands >f dollars about twelve months ago. rhe roulette wheel contained a network if electric wires, so arranged that by :he manipulation of switches carefully :oncealed Inside the cash drawer elec:ro-magnets hidden within the very structure of the wheel itself would be so thrown Into circuit as to draw the t>all, which contained a soft iron core, Into any group of pockets the dealer might desire. Endless, however, are the tricks of the professional card sharper. They have all sorts of dodges for marking tards. Giving a card a rough edge by i mere scratching with the finger nail Is to them a sure means of identiflca tlon. Some wear an innocent looking ring, called a trepan, which is really hollow, full of ink, and has a tiny point on the inner side whereby an almost Imperceptible dot can be put on a card. Others prefer to use simply a tiny aluminum or steel tack, which can be affixed instantaneously to the thumb, point outward, by means of a small piece of court plaster.

They are going to make fish do a large part of the mosquito fighting on the Isthmus in the future. The canal commission has received a lot of mosquito killing fish from the island of Barbados in the West Indies and is going to begin a systematic planting of the species in waters within the canal zone. The fish have been placed temporarily in the tank in the court of the administration building at Ancon. The freedom of Barbados from ma laria has been attributed to tne presence of these fish in large numbers in the streams and lakes of the island. The fish are known commonly as millions and their scientific name is Glardlnus poeciloides. They belong to a group known as top minnows, so called because they always feed near the surface of the water. They are never more than an inch and a half long and they go scooting through the water with most of their backs exposed. This enables them to pursue bugs over liiy pads and other vegetation covered only by a thin film of water. They are not at all fastidious about their home. They will live in stagnant, sluggish or running water, and they are not particular whether it is fresh or brackish. Mosquito larvae are the food these millions hanker for, and when they can't get a nice little broiler mosquito they will take an old tough specimen in preference to common food like waterbugs. They have to catch the old mosquitoes on the fiy, though, and their real usefulness is based chiefly on their destruction of the larvae. Once planted in a stream, they multiply with great rapidity. The young are born alive, not hatched from an egg. The minnows ascend streams against a swift current and spread Into the smallest rivulets from the big stream. There are already some mosquito eating flsh in Panama waters, but the introduction of the millions Is going to be a great reinforcement to the schools of destroyers. Of course while the millions surely will be bad medicine for the anopheles mosquitoes they won't be able to touch the stegomyla, the really select mosquitoes that breed In exclusive places like cisterns, rain barrels and old tomato cans. "The Rival Shysters."?A recent number of the Saturday Evening Post - A ** has a most amusing story or iour] shyster lawyers who were In turn, one after the other, and neatly, too, made to contribute handsomely to the purses of two sharp negroes. These four shysters, like all other shysters, jumped and leaped and ran after an apparently promising damage suit, "against the company." The two negroes put up a very plausible story about a third negro being hurt on the railroad. Each lawyer was approached, and each one greedily took hold of the case, and as readily loaned the alleged plaintiff sums up to $50 In a lump. Each lawyer promptly filed his suit, and when court came each one was In the court room to press his case. Finally things came to such a pass that the railroad's attorney carried them all Into a room and showed them that the two negroes had brought forty-six cases of the same nature, bleeding forty-six lawyers the while. The story Is rich for the reason that the tables were turned on the shysters, who got a stiff dose of their own medicine. It makes good readin*.
