MARS''MYSTERY. IS THE PLANET THE HOME OF ANOTHER RACE? There Are Said to be Signs on Its Surface ot Work That Could Have Been Done Only by Human Beings. BP to a recent time comparatively few people had anything b it an indistinct idea of the planet Mars. But within the past few weeks this planet was in what the astronomers call apposition. That is very ??? like saying to the average mind that peas and bean multiplied by cabbage makes roast beef. So to find out exactly what the meaning of apposition is one muse nrsc learn something about the history of the planet Mars. Mars is the fourth planet in order of distance from the sun. It is nearest to the world on which we live of all the great superior planets that make the solar system. Mars travels around the sun in a mean sidereal period of 686.9767 days, on an orbit inclined one degree and fifty-one minutes to the plane of the ecliptic, at mean distance of 130,311,000 frnm tho ciin This orbit is considered eccentric, insomuch that its greatest distance, 152,304,000 miles, exceeds its least, 126,318,00U, by more than 25,000,CU0 miles. When it is nearest to the earth it is in apposition. Now the foregoing statement is technical, and to the layman's mind tells Kfflo WKof fv>?? owororro mon r*ftn CPP when looking through a telescope at Mars is a great big star. It doesn't seem to be anything else, but it is. People who have made a study of the planet believe that it is really a good deal like the world, and while they do not go so far as to actually say so, they think it possible that it is inhabi/ FO 70 0 l?V/A, ? ' ' ' 1 W/M/ ?JL-l?' ' I ' ' ' ' . '-- -? ? i80 2.70 0 RCHIA'ARE 1X1*8 CHABT S ted. It was some fifteen years ago that I Mars first became a planet that bad any earth 1 j interest to the people that live on tbis globe. A very wise man that used to sit up nights and look at the sky through a telescope first made known the fact that Mars was a good deal like the earth in its shape, and also uttered the startling theory that he thought it possible that the planet was inhabited. PeoDle laushed at him just then, and he faded into the oblivion that comes to people who are in the habit of discovering lacts ahead of time. < But after him came a man who told the same thing again in a new way, and who now has got to a point where the world is beginning to believe that he is right. The man is Professor Schiaparelli, of Mliatl, Italy. ne says mat iu ais upiui?u the plaDet Mars is not simply a nebulous quantity of vapor, but it is a solid substance on which animals aiid men exi3t. S nE'MOS N PATH8 OP THE MOONS OP MARS. He found that the planet ha; a diameter of about 4000 miles. By careful calculation be is confident that its year consisted of 667 days, and that each day in time was forty minutes longer than our day. He also found that the planet was made up of water and land, just like our world. It has, he says, seas and conti- j Dents and rivers. As to its density, it differs very little from the earth. Gravitation at its surface must be much less than it is in this world. A man who weighs 150 pounds upon this mundane sphere would weigh about sixty pounds on Mars. In fact, all substances would be reduced in weight by transfer from our world to Mars. Upon that planet our oak would become as light as cork. Our gold would be as light as tin. The question just now is: Is Mars inhabited? No one knows, of course, whether it is or not. The only thing to judge by is in the character of the planet gathered by careful inspection through telescopes. aouuuvmvi. . j have seen the eternal snows of the two polar regions of our neighbor world. They are confident that its contents are red, and that its seas are green, and they are equally sure that its seas do not cover more than one-fourth of its surface. The seas on our continent cover three-fourths of the world, which points the comparison. This scarcity of water in Mars is its most remarkable feature. The theory that people really do inhabit the planet is born ouc by the fact that Professor Schiarparelli is confident that he has discovered that Mars has been traversed by gigantic canals. It is easy to see that if there are canals on the planet, it is a surety that people must have built them. This idea, too is strengthened by the discovered fact that there is a scarcity of water in the planet. Necessarily the planet must be i irrigated in that maDner, and as there j are canals, the conclusion is thac there j must be people there. The canals on the planet Mars are be lieved to have been cut for thousands oi miles across the land to connect with the seas. They are green in color, like the water, and, in order to be visible tlfough our telescopes, they must be from 100 to 400 miles in length. They m*st also be about 200 miles wide. They run mostly from north to south, for trie seas divide the land from east to west. It is difficult to conceive of such enormous public works, but nothing else will answer. Our little canals would I dry up in crossing a thousand iriles of desert. If a people can construct such enormous works as canals of the dimensions TTTF. OIGANTIC LICK TELESCOPE. told in the foregoing, it would be impossible to tell where the limit of their skill would reach. They must be far ahead of America as engineers and mechanics. What other astonishing triumphs as mechanical originators they have achieved must be left to the future to discover. "One circumstance," says Professoi Proctor, that may at first excite surprise is the fact that in a planet so much farther from the sun than the world there should exist so close a resemblance to the earth in respect to climatic relations. i "But ir we consider the results of Tyndal's researches on the radiation of heat, and remember that a very moderate increase in the ouantitv of certain va? pors present in our atmosphere would suffice to reader the climate of the earth intolerable through the excess of heat? just as glass walls cause a hothouse to be warm long after the sun has set?^e shall not fail to see that Mars may readily be compensated by a corresponding arrangement for his increased distance from the vivifying centre of his solar V;.' ' T %*15P X ?w%^ w/MWM^Mm m>.c LLULU ? r i i i i. i i?L__ i0 '5*0 HOTTIXG DOUBLE CAXALS. BTstem." Professor Swift says that there is certainly something that is mysterious in the typography of the planet as viewed from the earth. "Some of its markings," he adds, "are changeable, and appear as clouds, while others seem stable and are indicative of solidity. As, however. Mars rotates upon his axis so slowly no belts like those environing Jupiter and Saturn are visible. "That Mara is inhabited is not an understood fact. That it was created to that end is a verity, but whether it is or not is only a question that we can judjje by understanding its availability for tne giving of life to human beings. No telescope has yet been discovered that truly tells that fact." Professor Sciaparelli is Ihe only astronomer that ha9 managed to draw a chart of Mars that as a planet exists only in the minds of others not quite so famous astronomers. Aside from the discoveries of the Italian prolessor the credit of finding that Professor Schiaparelli is correct must be awarded to the famous Lick Observatory at San Franciscc. The money to build this magnificent observatory was furnished by Mr. Lick and it has well demonstrated his faith that it was needed by the fact that it has told the world that Mar6 is probably another continent like ours.?New York Journal. An E?er Ready Mouse-Trap. An English journal called Invention, illustrated an ever-ready mouse-trap, fh Cl/ the inventor of which is Jlr. Smjthies, of Soutbsea. The little apparatus, which can be readily constructed at home, has two frames, to which a movable platform is pivoted. Above this platform is suspended a small stick, to the point of which is attached the bait that is to ex CJte me appetue 01 me nine rouenc. 1 ae platform, being horizontal, is supported at one end and held in place by a book or box, but accessible to the mice. The bait is suspended above the loose end. As soon as the mouse has traversed the pivoted center its weight is sufficient to rock the hoard and the animal tumbles into the pail of water at that end. Its cries of distress before it drown9 attract the other mice, and they como to see what is going on. They also tip the board and meet with a similar fate. Baseball At Sea. A hint as to how baseball might be played :tt sea is given in the Pall Mall Budget's note on a trip to Nor wry, in whi/.K o nn thp nflYrkpfc is this described: The ball was tied to about twenty yards of stout line. Whenever it was knocked cut to sea the fielders had to haul in the line, which generally became entaugled at this critical moment, and defied the excited efforts to release it ere the batsmaa had piled up the runs. At other times tbe batsman wculd be Jassoei by the line attached to tbe ball, and time had to be called to unravel the line. The St. Louis Chief of Police requires the 1000 Chinese in that city to be photographed. A Horse That Breathes Tliroutrh a Silver Tube. Minnie is the most remarkable horse l in New York City. Minnie ha9 lungs like other hsrsts i and she uses them to breathe, too; but the air is brougfct to tnem neuner inrousu the mouth nor nostrils, as in other horses, but through a silver tube. Minnie has been Very asthmatic, and with the ordinary mode of breathing, the doctor said, her death was a question of but weeks or days. To save her, for Minnie was a good, powerful and gentle mare, her owners, F. A. Seagrist & Co., consented that an operation be performed on her throat. Accordingly Vetinary Surgeon James Hamil was called in i n rear a?o and made a series of I incisions into the throat and tracheal tube, and Minnie at once began to breathe quite freely. But how to keep open these sluices of respiration was the next question. For although in course of ^Ime the apertures would heal and cause no pain, the danger lay in their becoming clogged by impurities of the atmosphere, as well as by the phlegm from the horse's lungs. m 1. THE APPARATUS IN POSITION*. After an unsuccessful trial of several weeks Dr. Hamil hit upon the idea to insert an Artificial tracheal tube of silver into the horse's gaping wound. This was done, and Minnie has since experienced no more inconvenience in breathing than if she had never been tttJ+V* oo+Vima Qliill/l^U TTillU UUVUU4UI The tube is a curiosity. Two crescentshaped tubes, scooped out like a shoehorn, are fitttd into each other in such a way that one tube passes into the upper part ot the trachea, while the other hangs down into the lower part. The parts of the instrument that are visible are the shank of the lager horn (the shank of the other being inside of this) and the flat round disks at the outer endsof the horns, snugly fitting against each other so that they look like one \jLA T.- * r j 11 . if 'J 2.

Cretonne draperies, as a rule, arc either sent to the professional cleaner or else ruined by home washing. A sample of the cretonne should first be washed in 6alt nnd water or in ox-call and water to set the color and then be dried in a dark room. None of the ordinary grades of soap should be used. The greatest risk in fading lies in the drying, and a dark room should alway9 be used for this if possible. If the colors are not too bright this method will insure satisfaction. ? New York World. THE CARE OF A PIANO. A good piano is not an instrument of a day but rather of a lifetime. Bat this durability is only secured by giving it proper care. If a piano is ill-treated, it soon rewards the owner by becoming tin-panny and harsh in tone. But all ordinary practice on this instrument, whether by a grown person who under" ""'I" fa fnnnK tKo Irotro Ar Kr a OLUUUO JLIVSYT IV IVUVU VUV kVJW) VA M J V child who is learning, will not harm it in anywise. A piano can be kept in daily practice in a private family for years without becoming worn out if it be of good tone and make to begin with. No piano can be thumped or pounded upon with impunity.

The concluding remarks of Miaa Parola's talk on the preserving of fruits before the Massachusetts Horticultural Society were devoted to preserves and jellies. She eaid: jrrcaerviuj^ wiiu su^ar puuuu lur puuuu is not extensively practised now, most people preferring the simpler and more healthful mode of canning with a small quantity of sugar; still, there are some things that are better for the following of this mode. I think there is no fruit more delicious than the Btrawberry, either fresh or preserved; yet there is none about which the housekeeper feels more uncertain. It is something that cannot be preserved without plenty of sugar. If you wish to preserve the pineapple by cooking care must be taken that it is not exposed to a high temperature for any length of time, as cooking hardens and darkens the fruit. All fruits are prepared for preserving in sugar the same as for canning. Then a rich Byrup is made?four pounds of sugar tc a pint of water?and the fruit h simmered in it until tender and clear. Such fruit as quinces and hard pears Bhould be cooked until tender before being put in the syrup. Some kinds of fruit are better for haying the sugar added to them when partially cooked, while others should always have it added the moment they are placed on the fire. Again, one kind is better for standing for hours in the sugar, while other3 should not have the sugar touch them until they are ready fn cm r?n the fire. Them nre ft few frnifs -- e>~ ? ? ? ? which are far better without sugar than with it. This is the case with the prune, with which sugar should never be put, long, slow cooking serving to develop a fine, rich flavor. Cranberries, on the other hand, should have a pint of sugar to a quart of berries, and the sugar, water and berries must go on the fire at once and be cooked rapidly for a short time. No other method will give a DQfiofftAtnftr recmlf 'PVioort lncf enrr. gUkiOtUVhUlJ A W^Uikl HWK nil" ou^ gestions do not come under preserving, but I uso them to illustrate the fact that the treatment that makes one dish perfect may ruiD another. In no department of preserving doe3 the housekeeper feel less sure of the results than in jelly-malting, so much depends upon the condition of the fruit. This is more pronounced in the case of small fruits than with the larger kinds. nru n- v__? w lieu uunauLs fuc uvei-iipc, ui uuvu been picked after a rain, the result of using them will be uncertain. Perhaps we notice it more with this fruit than with any other, because it is so generally used for jelly. An understanding ot the properties of fruits which forms the basis of jellies may help the housekeepers to a better knowledge of the conditions and methods essential to success. Pectin, which forms the bisis of ve^e table jellies, is a substance wtiico, in its composition, resembles starch ami ? . It gives to the juices of fruitj the ierty of gelatiniaiug. Thi9 property is :it its best when the fruit is just ripe; better a little under-ripe than over-ripe. When boiled for a long time it loses its gelatinous property and becomes of a gummy nature. These facts show the importance of using fruit that is but ripe aud freshly picked, as well as the need of care not to over-cook the juice. One form of preserves which is most useful, convenient and wholesome should be more geuerallp adopted than it is, namely, the canning of fruit juicj for creams, ices, drinks, etc. Certainly every housekeeper ought to preserve enough of tbe juices of the strawberry, raspberry, peacti; apncoc, grape, etc., ior uer owu use. They can be preserved with or without sugar, but I should always advocate sugar. George Vanderbilt is the only one of the well-known family who is really an enthusiast on the subject of flowers.

How Words Change. Long ago, when a certain article made of sturgeons' bladders came into use iu England, it was known by its Dutch name "huizenblas," that is, "sturgeon bladder." The terra wa? a meaningless one to English ear?, and by some means I or other was transformed into the word which we all know, "isinglass." The change was precisely like that which in some quarters has turned "asparagus" into "sparrow prass<.M In the same manner the old word "berfry," which meant simply a watch tower, was transformed into "belfry." It became the custom to hang bells in such towers, and by common consent a change of spelling followed. What ]B the derivation of the word "steelyard?" Most readers would reply without hesitation that it must have been invented as the name of a certain familiar instrument for weighing, an instrument made of steel, and about three foot in IpnrrfVt 4U iWOjj.M. In point of fact, however, the word mennt in the beginning nothing but the yard, or court in London, where tue continental traders sold their steel. In this yard, of course, there was some kind of balance for weighing the metal ?a steel yard balance. Language is full of such cases." Blindfold"' has nothing to do with the act of folding something over the eyes, but is "blindfelled" or struck blind! "Buttery'' has no connection with butter, but is, or was, a "bottlery," a place for bottles. A "blunderbuss" was not an awkward or inefficient weapon, but on the contary was so terrtble as to be called a "dondeebus." that is to say a "thunder box" or "thunder barrel." The advance in the art of -war is happily?or unhappily?typified by the fact that a weapon once so terrible has become an object of ridicule.

In the camp of my captors a six pound gun was fired at high noon by means of a sun glass, and to the muzzle of this antiquated smooth bore I was stripped and leit in the broiling sun to await my fate.
