Column and statue and temple bewilder ed the beholder. There were white innrble fountains Into which, from aper tares at the side, there rushed waters everywhere known for heal giving qual ities. Around these basins. twisted info wreaths of stone, there \fVre all the beauties of sculpture and architecture, while, standing, as If to guard the cost Iv display, was a statue of Hercules of burnished Corinthian brass. Vases of terra cotta adorned the cemeteries of the ?lend ? vases so costly that Julius Caesar was not satisfied ? until he had captured them from Home. Armed officials, the "Corlnthlarll. paced up and down to see that no statue was defaced, no pedestal overthrown, no bas-relief touched. From the edge of the City a hill arose, with Its magnificent burden of columns nnd towers and temples ? 1,000 slaves awaiting at one shrine ? nnd a citadel so thoroughly impregnable thnt Oihraltnr i? a heap of wand coinpnred with it.

A little child's mother bad died, and they comforted her They said; "Your mother has gone to heaven. Don't cry."

"Oh, yesi f that's what I want to go to heaven for." "But," said the missionary, "suppose that. Jesus should go away from heaven ? what then?" "I should follow him." said the dying negro boy. "But If Jeyiw went down to hell ? what then?" Jfh* dying boy thought for m moment and then he satd, Mam. Whereyoeaua is there can be no hell!"

Mr. Oroker has been kept fully advised of the political ??? tin t ion in thiH city and, although Mr. Dwyer wouhl not admit it directly, he believe* that the time ban about for him to return. If not to take the Tammany rein* into his own hands, at least to help those of his friends who now 11 nd themselves in a quandary. Of his own experiences abroad, Mr. Dwyer, with hi* customary diffidence, /vas inclined to say but little when ht w a s aeon by a World reporter. The great plunger was neveur a very good "talker. That he had had a good time and had thoroughly eujoyed himself #ah quite apparent. Hi* trip abroad has done him an immense lot of good iu a physical way, eveu If ho did have Home misfortune with hW horses. He looks to l?e much heartier and strong er than ho was when lie >vent.e,.^y: With all that, however, he admitted that he wan glad to get back to Ameri ca once more. He qualified this souie what, though, by aaylug that he may return to ?nfcUnd at norae time iu the future and have another go at the name over there. Thin Arm trip of his haw been some what in the nature of an -ex*>erlm<>*t. aud when he goes again he will be pre pared to make use of all that he ha* learned In Ids kindergarten experience In Iiritlah racing.

' J IIow diverse, however, they doubtless are from ua will appear from such deft- j nlle deduction as we are able to make from the physical ^fferences bet w eon Mars and our c?rfh . For example, the inere difference of gravity on the ajtr f a<v of the two planet? Is rnuej) more ar reaching in Itn effects than might at drat he thought. Gravity on the surface of Mars Is only a lit t le more than one third what It is on the surface of the earth. This would work In t*o ways to very different conditions of existence from those to which we are accustomed . To begin with, three times as mirwU.1 work, as, for example, In digging n* canal, could be done by the same ex penditure of muscular force. If we were transported to Mara, we should be pleas antly surprised to find all our manual labor auddenly lightened threefold . Jtuj. Indirectly, there might result a ye\ greater gain to our capabilities: for. Ii Nature chose, she could afford there to build her Inhabitants on. three times the scale she does on "earth, without thvlr ever finding it out exeept by Interplane tary comparison . As we all know, a very large man Is much more unwleldly than a very sinjUt^j oqe. An elephant refuses to hop llkfe a flea; not because he considers It Undig nified to do bo. but simply because lie cannot take the stop. If we could we should all jump across the street, in stead of painfully paddling through the mud. Our Inability to do depends partly on the size of the earth, and partly on the si?e of our ow<n bodies, but not at all on what It at first seems entirely to depend on, the al?e of the street. To see this, let ns consider the very simplest case-that of standing erect To this every-day feat opposes itself the weight of the body simply, a thing ol throe dimensions, height, breath and thickness, while the ability to accom plish It resides in the cross-section of the iuUoOlcsi, of .the knee, a thing of only two dimensions. Consequently, a jK-rBon half as large again as another has about twice the supporting capacity of that other, but about three times as much to support. Standing, therefore, tires him out more quickly, li his siz> were to sib on Increasing, he would at last reach a stature at which he would no longer be ahle to stand at all. but would have to lie down. You shall see the same effect In quite inanimate ob jects. Take two cylinders of parallinfc wax. one nrtt.de1 into an ordinary candle, the other irtWnf gigantic fac simile of one, and then stnnd both U|h?^ their bases. To the small one nothing hap-'1 liens. The big one. however, begins to settle; the base Actually nmclo viscous hy the pressure of the wkdght above. Now apply this principle to a possible Inhabitant of Mars, and suppose him to be constructed three times as largo as a human being in every dimension . If he were o^ earth he would weigh twenty-seven times as miwh as the human helug; but on tfie surface ol Mars, since gravity there is only ibout one-third of what it is here, he would weigh but vjyie times as much. The cross section of iris muscles would be nine thn^a-* ns great. Therefore, the ratio of his supporting power to the weight he must support^would be th<<}| same as ours. (Jonsequeimy. he would | be able to stand with no mqre fatigue, than we experience. Now. consider tilt work he might be able to do. ills mus cles, having length, breadth, and thick ness, would all be twenty-seven times as effective as ours, lie -Would prove twenty -seven times as- stiom: as we, and could accomplish twenty-seven times as much. Hut he would ^further work HjK?n what required, owing to diu-reased gravity, but ono-uiiru ihe e* fort to ''overcome. His effective force, therefore, would be eighty-one times as great as man's whether in digging canals or In other bodily occupation. As gravity on the surface of Mars is really a little more than one-third that at the su *ace of the earth, the trfie ratio Is not eighty-one, but about fifty I'ereival lx>well in the Atlantic Monthly.
