The Appeal

VOL. 17. NO.5. AS TO WOMEN WHO DRINK THEY ARE MORE NUMEROUS THAN FORMERLY, BUT POWER GO TO THEIR FACE. SOME FACTS FOR ALARMISTS "The great work of the society for the community, while not neglecting for the entire year, while not neglecting to reclaim the women; for I tell you that intoxication is growing among women at the last fifty years staring at me. During the last fifty years staring at me while intoxication among men has steadily decreased, the increase among women has been increasing, the world depends on the mothers even more than on the fathers, and what is not of us if our women become inebriates? The members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union have also been agitated, and it comes more in regard to the feminine politics, notably the women in society, giving startling accounts of the growth of the habit and its evil effects on the health, being of the community. Especially due to the service of wines at the dinges and fashionable dances, declaring a female spread is important and that women are to regard the use of alcoholic stimulants as a matter of course. The London World's art- "There is no device or artifact to which we have not have recourse to attain what she should pretend to put upon her. She finds something and medicines which contain stimulants and cocaine which she will consume other, cocaine or the craze is for medicines, or present the craze is for medicines, or contain cocaine. "Somewhat without frequent doses they cannot exist without frequent doses of cocaine, when once and the rest to counter-act, nor nothing Self-indulgent (existence of stimulants) one form or another is the vice of one form or another is the vice of stimulants externally, stimulant continually." While these reform waves rise and fall with the regularity of the tides, they also present two continents at one time, an attention period, says the New York Sun. It would seem as though the opening of the new world was a conservative paper, a truthful bishop, a standing judge by existing conditions in New York is would seem that there is one opportunity for judging the affairs of women, more generally than in the last twenty-five years. But intemperance is steadily on the decrease. One reason is that Americans have learned to substitute wine for ice water following a change in have decreased the outside drinking at men clubs and cafes. Men seek their enjoyments more generally today in the presence of women invariably drink coffee and finish cakes; feel tea in popular drinks during the warm months. Women escorted by men, who may be in charge of the downtown restaurants, will frequently be observed to drink whatever wine may be served with wine at the dinner hour, when comparatively of the dinner visit the restaurants unescorted, the customer will be quite general. Women conform to the masculine dictate as to the wine that is served, and to the extent to which the alleged increases in alcoholic intemperance may be observed as a criterion for this country's popula- Hotel proprietors and head waiters generally agree that there is more drink-tourism than restaurant history, but they insist that the custom has become general with both sexes, giving no preponderance to either. The lack of interruption and internecency has lessened with this general but moderate drinking, while the lack of alcohol has lessened out. Physicians have usually declared that the substitution of light wines, ales and beers for tea, coffee and wine has been the health of the generation, and it is certain that within the last twenty-five years the proportion of national complaint, at least among the masses, a quarter of a century ago every year has been lower than some form of this dread complaint brought on by a diet of hot breads, pie and leed water, which had then gained a place at the top of the list of Americans who drink. The women of France, Italy, Russia and England have always drunk more one from which the sex has risen by education. A glance through the fashionable dining rooms of the city during the hours when women are to be found lunching, gives the impression of an increase in the drinking habits of the feminine community. At the Waldorf, a restaurant, which may be taken a representative restaurant, women lunching alone may be soon drinking tea, coffee, milk or wine. The odd men often ten orders alcohol in any form. The odd woman may indulge in a light candle or white wine, but she is the excepted guest. The odd woman than American women and have grown THE APPEAL.

Their habit have been specially in evidence at the end, where many of the notable en of them have been during visits to this city. Their invariable cushion has the simple French demeanour in their rooms on rising, followed by the more substantial breakfast at noon, the repeat always including a light dinner or exception to this rule, which has always been regarded as a foreign fad by hotel women. Yet more of these American women. Yet more of these American women have been fine specimens or strength and beauty, and they would conceive of wine with a meal as an injurious addition. Among society women of this country, the greatest amount of drinking is done at dances, and all of which are long, dressy affairs, where a speciality is made of the wine. It has become fashionable to refuse the dances and certainties has been provided, but while the men of the younger age have been accused at the younger age of having been thought of vantage of the splendence with which champagne has been provided certainly with relation to ever been thought of made by the revered bishop and by the fact, it has not been found in any representative gatherings of society women. The discontinuance of the service of whees of different sorts with diner courses has done away with much drizzling, and it has made a large assortment which it used to be to serve an unconscious over-interest in quite possible. Only one wife is able for dinner at most, especially with the younger set. But at all these functions among women is noticeably moderate. The greatest amount of drinking among women will undoubtedly be observed when they patronize the "all-night" women who patronize the "all-night" restaurants. At all of these places a vast amount of women consumes between the hours of sunset and dusk, which constitutes the day of that world. The women at these places drink more people appear night after night in these places. They are always radiant jewel-toned, particularly well groomed and apparently unaware of alcohol which they abhor. Frequent visits to the collage of these women is sudden. The women at these places swallow them up like grapes in which they never emerge. Eating sitting places women are observed to drink on occasion with the men are the Hungarian women who have become famous through their hands and the native wines of their country. The peculiarity of these places is the presence of there long after the meal is concluded. During the night, during which hours the men there is much drinking of nitro-free bredeline and mint. Here the gourmet have a foreign savior and are of a size to a dozen within domestic groups of six to a dozen within the at various tables. Many of the visitors of the Hungarian restaurants go as sightseeing to the Hungarian bands enjoy the music of the grumpy bands. At the German resorts the sktherkeller and to encourage the presence of women on the beach, the women drink the beverage of the nation is invariably drunk by the wives and even the chillies of the German-Americans, who gather with the women and listen to the bands with tails stains at their elbows. Temperance women drink the beverage of the nation at the presence of so many women, joining in the general beer drinking, but these could not be found at any fireplace. A secret insurrection, which was a far greater evil than the eating at dinner, which has grown to be the custom, this has been almost entirely with it. It is now regarded and treated with disdain, and are an inebriate, both women and men, hidden in asylums and looked up in their world. Wines are no longer the bugaboose to the young that they once were, but there is a danger of overindulgence. At the colleges and clubs there is more general drinking than twenty-five years old, and lists in the latter are uncommon nowadays, for the reason that the offenders are rapidly cut from the community. It is distinctly unfortunate. A woman physician gives as he: opinion on the allegations of feminine intrusion and the use of drugs the following. WILL WE COMMUNE WITH THE MARTIANS? REISE If Those Kansas Saloonkeepers Were Only Foxy. FREW days ago a starting au- nouncement made the inside the effect that Proof. class of the Flightatt staff observation, Arizona, had received a FEW days ago a starting announcement was made to the University of the Flagstaff observatory, Arizona, had received a message from Mars. The European edition of the Herald declared that a notice of the event had been received by the University of Flagstaff, Kiel under the signature of Prof. E. C. Pickering, director of the Harvard observatory, Cambridge, Mass. The bureau of Kiel transmitted it to all of the astronomical societies it was reproduced in the astronomical bulletin of "Nature" and also recorded in the "Astronomische Nachrichten." Upon investigation it appears that the report originated from the following telegram, received Dec. 8, from the Flagstaff observatory: "Mr. A. E. Dougles, while observing the planet Mars on Dec. 7, saw a projection on the north edge of Iceland Mare, which the report stated that Mr. Dougles suddenly saw a series of bright lights appear on a straight line extending over several hundred kilometers. For an hour and ten minutes the gimble fires burned without interruption and the lights disappeared as rapidly as they had come. "From observation we know," says M. Dauville, in the European edition of *Geometria*, that light never proceeds geometrically. The appearance seems to indicate a voluntary action. the appearance and disappearance of these lights at the same time increases this conviction." Thereafter he concludes that the lights observed by Mr. Doug裂 are signals from the supposed inhabitants of Mars. We are advised to be on the lookout for signals, since the planet is rapidly approaching us only 63,500,000 miles distant. This will occur. We can see in imagination the imaginary inhabitants of Mars straining their eyes or turning their telescopes in the eye of our planet in the vain, hype of seeing spacecraft orbiting the planet, greeting at the beginning of the new century, and we wonder what novel scheme will occur to the fertile brain of some imaginative mortal on this momentous occasion. Initially the Martians have not yet lost hope of attracting cur attention, for at the opposition in 1844 there were vague reports in circulation on planet earth with regard to certain bright lights which had been observed on the surface of Mars. The Martians, according to flash light signals on the planet, who probability is that these bright lights were leebers tilted in such a way that they reflected more directly the light of the sun. That is unless we accept the theory of Prof. Johnstone Stoney, according to flash light signals on Mars are not frozen water, but frozen carbonic acid. Many and varied have been the schemes for signalling Mars, principally by means of electric lights or the arrangement of celestial figures upon the surface of the earth. Defective Page About the same time the following suggestion was made by Mr. Frank H. Norton, in an article appearing over his signee in the Illustrated American for June 6, 1984: "It will be remembered that in 1854 a legacy was left by Mme Guzman and confided to the Institute of France in the 19th century. I am not a person of any nationality who wishes years from that time should discover a means, of communicating with a star or planet and receive a reply. Now, without a destination of this large prize, but rather for the purpose of keeping the subject before the public, I am going to suggest a possible means for such communities. It is only reasonable to suppose that the exhibition of an unusual light would occur to any intelligent being as the best means for attracting the attention at the moment of the discovery. I know very well that night is the only time when their planet is visible at all from the earth, and the period of their opposition to the sun only the time when the surface of the planet can be thoroughly and closely observed. "They would therefore choose night and light for their purpose of attracting the attention of the people on the earth. It follows that the earth is supposed signalling and to attract their attention, v would be the same employed by them to *t*, night and light. But as this earth is pretty well lighted up at night as it is, we should choose some place upon it which is peculiar to us. It should be at artificial light is concerned. It should be also, a place easily made highly luminous; it should be at some point on the earth peculiar to itself for some reason it is possible. It should respond to some nasas Saloonkeepers Were point on the Martian surface having prominence of its own." All these conditions, according to Mr. Norton, seem to be confirmed by only one spot on the whole surface of the earth. That spot is in the neighborhood of the moon after polishing out all its possibilities. Mr. Norton suggests that permission be obtained to run a line of Edison incandescent lights up each angle of the great circle of the moon in its final is complete. Supposing the combined illumination insufficient, then light up all the other eight pyramids of the Ghizzee and the other pyramids of the moon parently the necessary permission was not obtained, cr the scheme did not work. At any rate no information has been received as to the results, successful or not. This unique method of signalling Mars. Flammarion suggested the construction of a gigantic electrical display, geometrically designed, with a vast plain as the background. At the present time he ad-hocly designed a message to Mars. Scholl for sending a message to Mars. The latter is of the opinion that outlining certain well-known groups of stars, such as the great dipteror O'Dorion, might be able to communicate on Mars, and, taking it for granted that they notice these signals, it is expected that they will reply in like manner. Visit such sites occur to us, as we see a new and elaborate celestial alphabet constructed by means of the constellation Orion, which were, by slow and sure methods to our friends on the nebringer planet. Should communication thus be established between Mars and the earth, the new constellation would be very valuable period in our planet's history. Supposing even the above laudable attempts should prove a failure in signalling Ma's, Nikola Tesla is hopeful of communicating with Mars by means of communication with the planet's artificial devices. In his recent experiments in atmospheric electricity he assures us age that he has obtained results which he believes will make communication with Mars a fact. Scleris' tests, it is true, doubt his theory, but in his reply to his critics he asserts that he has achieved the slightest doubt, judging from his experiments and measurements, that it is within the bounds of possibility to convey a message to Mars. With a proper constructed oscillator an energy can be transmitted to such a planet as Venus or Mars, even at their greatest distance, sufficient to bring into action a sensitive instrument such as I have been using in my own laboratory. The error is that the error to believe that a great expenditure of power is necessary for interplanetary communication. What is needed is an effect specifically great-an enormous rate of energy delivered, lasting each time about 100 hours, and the total used up is small. Now, with my oscillator I can move this rate equal to five million horse power and more, if necessary, and my calculations show that a small fraction of this rate is simply insufficient for conveying a message to Mars." Thus we witness, at the beginning of the new century, a revival of the theory as to the possibility of communicating with people on Mars, taking it for granted that the planet is habitable the one being as great a problem as other. Nikola Tesla expresses a hope that the people on Mars may be as intelligent as we are, if not more so. If they are, we can feel assured that they will use their time trying to signal to the people on Mars by means of electricity or otherwise, for they are probably not even aware of our existence. It seems difficult to realize the fact that, from Mars our planet presents very nearly the appearance presently presents us, the latter being earth. e Only Foxy. regards size, density and general constitution. However, Venus, being near the sun, receives about twice as much light as the earth, consequently brighter than the earth, and more luminous than the glary and nearness to the earth she is innately between us and the sun, so that the illuminated side is turned away from us. On the other hand, it comes nearer the earth than any other planet (the newly discovered planet Eros), the nearest approach being about 20,000,000 miles. The nearest approach of Mars to our planet is a litter of 33,000,000 miles at the newly discovered planet Eros, 63,000,000 miles at an unfavourable place, the present instance. Consequently the splendor of our planet as seen from Mars is less than that of Venus seen by us. Why, then, should the inhabitants of our planet be communicating with our planet? Judge J. H. Harden, our standpoint, the vast amount of planetary planet covered by the great oceans, and the ever changing masses of cloud, probably suggest as great problems to the inhabitants of our planet, to whether our planet is a desirable world, or on as are suggested to us by the atmospheric peculiarities of our own planet. Flammarion and Lowell, in considering the habilitability of Mars, have seemingly overlooked the sirti sense, difficulty regarding the habitability of planets, and according to Prof. C. A. Wingard, low density of the atmosphere of Mars is probably less at the planet's surface than on the tops of our highest mountains, this would naturally assist to keep down the water content far below the freezing point of water. The Mars receives one-balfast the amount of light and heat that we are accustomed to here, owing to its greater distance from the sun. Consequently extreme cold of Mars affects the planet unless it is provided with an internal means of heat as yet unknown to us. Yet for some reason a milder climate apparenuy prevails on would seem possible under the circumstances. The year lasts 687 days and the seasons are nearly twice as long as here are masses of winter snow • great mass of snow in polar regions. At any rate, the polar caps of Mars really seem to be masses of ice deposited from vapor in the planet's atmosphere, and it appears as if the ice moulded during the Martian summer. By the same amount immense quantity of water is set free, the ice and as a result the land is submerged as far as the tropics. At the same time "canals" begin to make their appearance as faint, dark 1 mres, growing wider and thicker, and then by water about miliees across, and then by water about miliees double, very often within the short interval of twenty-four hours. The twin carls run side by side like railroad tracks, only in this instance the tracks are of two or three hundred miles. At the junction of the canals round spots have been observed, termed "oases" by Mr. Lowell and "lakes" by the Miliian and German geologists, and the average diameter is about 129 miles, but the largest of all, known as the "Lake of the Sun," is 300 miles long. If we accepted the theory that the canals were made by Martian merchant vessels, Chandise was, or is, conveyed by means of these canals to all parts of that distant world, then the "Lake of Mars" would seem to be the place where we might suppose Martian merchants most often are oases rather than canals has been generally accepted since these spots have been observed to darken as the spots increase in size, showing the advance of Martian settlements and the vegetation on their surface. This would seem to Indicate that the canals and oases are of artificial construction and may have been the work in ages past of intelligen-tic beings who once populated this planet. When we recall the fact that the planet is subject to yearly inundations, devastating large tracts of land, then if Mars ever was an inhabited land, canals must have proved an obvious necessity. In the past, the only known threats are Flammarion and Mr. Lowell of the Flagstaff observatory, Arlizon, that the canal system of Mars is undoubtedly the work of the inhabitants of Earth. These canals are said to surpass any of the great works of a similar kind carried out by the orders of the emperors of China or the kings of Egypt. According to a calculation made some years ago by the astronomical association it would require an army of 20,000 men, working for 1,000 years, to construct the canal system now outlined on Mars. Nevertheless, owing to the gravity on this planet, the men might have to carry a stature greater than ours without being burdened by their own weight, and dealing as they would have to with material only a little more than three as heavy as their own work would be greatly more effective. If we could be transplanted to the planet Mars we would be surprised at the difference in the weight of objects in that is world. The smaller the mass of a planet Mars its attractive power. An object that would weigh only three-twelfth pounds on Mars. Prof. Young tells us that "a man who here weighs 100 pounds would weigh only sixty pounds on Mars, and you were able to jump to a height of five feet, and he could jump thirteen feet there with the greatest case. So far as this condition is met, a Martian elephant might be as agile as terrestrial deer." Mars is considerably smaller than the earth, with 4,300 miles in diameter, while the earth is 14 feet. If the substance in the earth would be as large as the planet Mars, its volume being only one-seventh that of the earth. Could Mars and the earth be weighed in a gigantic pair of objects and take nine gibbs weighing as much as the earth to make the scales even, the mass of Mars being one-ninth that of the earth. It seems strange that we are able to tell the weight of a planet millions of miles given that, but the power of attraction exerted on it would own a little moons given the secret away of it. Of the moons of Mars and the attractive power that must be exerted by Mars to keep them from wandering away from his guardianship, we can tell how great is the quantity of matter the planet contains. Of a body is the force with which it is attracted by the mass of a planet. If a baseball club could journey to Mars, and despite the atmospheric peculiarities of it, play a game, the distinction between mass and force very forcibly illustrated. The ball would be drawn toward Mars by only one-third of the force that the earth draws it, and it would be nearly as light as a rubber. It would stay long in the air when batted and home runs wouldn't be made all the time. If the planet Mars ever has been or is inhabited it must be by a race of humans not constituted as we are. According to Peter Young, "it intelligent beings exist on Mars, and they are strong that they are very different from us, which we can hardly conjecture, since the difference between the earth and Mars in physical conditions must almost necessarily have determined different lines of development on the two planets. It may be that we are, however, that on Mars the conditions, if altered, must be from our own, are still more nearly earthlike than on any other of the heavenly bodies which we can see with our present telescopes. We signal from Mars the same authority assures us that there is not the sig垦est proximity that any instrument we low posses we could distinguish any signals they could make. And, supposing they could, who would be able to read their meaning? We are not interested in a plan for a smalng Mars, it is rather curious to note that the time has about expired for the bestowal of the legacy left by Mme Guzman. Not long ago a notice appeared in a scientific journal to the effect that the money for the museum, Mary Prector, in New York Herald. A November test, commencing on the fact that the city has not been found in the market or that city last year was found in the market, will elude reactivity that the city of excluding the city will not. That is that the only accepted city is *Fairfax*. $2.40 PER YEAR.

He has a great favor with the populace of the city. The amount of money which he handles for the pope in ordinary years is enormous. The receipts were increased fully $15,000, and the total amount which passed through the church from $15,000. The greatest part of this enormous income is "Peter's pence" in ordinary years to about $15,000, the greatest amount in the church in holy year was responsible for a great increase in the total income of this fund. Approximately stated, the pope's income last year was as follows: Income from real estate in Italy $75,799 Income from sums invested in securities $1,250,000 Infections, donations and gifts $2,000,000 14,550,000 The expense account of the hold is does not nearly reach this sum.

VOL.17.NO.5. AS TO WOMEN WHO DRINK THEY ARE MORE NUMEROUS THAN FORMERLY, BUT POWER GO UP. SOME FACTS FOR ALARMISTS Whatever May Be True Abroad, the American Women Is Unlikely to Deteriorate Because of Over-indulgence in Simulants. Within the last week or two there has been a repetition of the general wave of protest which goes up now and again in England against the evil of intemperance among women, which evil, the agitators assert, is growing to appalling proportions. Since the beginning of the year the wave has surged up in all directions, and the number of women suffering by an outspoken article alleging the rapid increase of the alcoholic habit among women of society, and the use of drugs and nicotines among those of the lesure suffering under the strain of distress. In New York Bishop Leighton Coleman, a member of the annual meeting, who attended the annual meeting, held in this city, addressed a meeting, making the following statement in class: "The great work of the society for the coming year, and fact for the entire century, is to reclaim the women; for I tell you that intoxication is growing among women at the last fifty years statistics prove that while intoxication among men has steadily been the last fifty years women has been most alarming. The fact the world depends on the mothers even more than on the fathers, and what is most of us of our women become inebriates? The members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union have also been agitated and more in regard to the feminine population, notably the women in society, giving startling accounts of the growth of the habit and its evil effects on the health of the community. Especially do the women of the community. The service of wines at our large wide fashionable dances, decaring that the fashionable dances, decaring that the spread is perilous and that women are the use of alcohol stimulates as a matricial cause. The London World's article says: There is no device or artifact to which women will not have recourse to attain the status of a woman upon her. She finds comfort in scents and medicines which contain stimulants and medicines which contain consume either, cocaine or even methamphetamine, present the craze is for medicines or, some women contemplate they cannot exist without frequent doses of cocoa wine, quinine, tonics and the rest to counteract the craze, not nothing self-indulgent existence of stimulants one form or another is the vice of the medicines internal stimulants externally external. Women escorted by men, who may be unwilling at some of the favorite downstairs restaurants, are observed to drink whatever wine may be served and with the coming of the dinner guests, are asked to visit the restaurants unescorted, the custom of wine on the table seems to be the masculine dictate as to the wine that the masculine dictate as to the wine that is extent to which the alleged increases in alcoholic intemperance may be observed as a criterion for this country's popular wine. Hotel proprietors and head waiters generally agree that there is more drink-ware than food, and that the restaurant history, but they insist that the custom has become general with both sexes, giving no preponderance to either. The American complaint is that interruption has lessened with this general but moderate drinking, while the American complaint is that the women have usually declared that the substitution of light wines, ales and beer for tequila and rum, and the health of the generation, and it is certain that within the last twenty-five national summers, at least among the masses, a quarter of a century ago every farmer's wife and daughter suffered from the heat brought on by a diet of hot breads, pie and lead water, which had then fallen a place at the top of the List of American The women of France, Italy, Russia and England have always drunk more one from which the sex has risen by education.

Their habit has been specialised in evidence at the end of these races have stayed during visits to this city. Their invariable custom has been the simple French desulture in their rooms on rising, followed by the more substantial breakfast at noon, the most always including light chair or table, except in their rooms exception to this rule, which has always been regarded as a foreign fad by hotel women. Yet more of these common women abroad have been fine specimens or strength and beauty, and they would conceive of a combination of wine with a meal as an infatuation. Among society women of this country, the greatest amount of drinking is done by women of all ages and dances of all which are long-drawn affairs, where a speciality is made of this drink. It has become the fashion not only for women of all ages but for women has been provided, but while the men of young set have been accused at the age of 20 of taking an advantage of the plenitude of the champagne has been provided certainly no such charge has ever been thought of by the reverend bishop and by the bishop of the town have a foundation in any fact, it has not been used at the most representative gatherings of the society. The discontinuance of the service of whisps of different sorts with dimmer courses has done away with much dulce upon the part of guests, as with the service of the evening, to serve an unconscious over-indulgence was quite possible. Only one rule for dimmers, especially with the younger set. But at all these functions drinking among women is not noticeably At the German resorts the rattleskeller that they occupy the presence of women and the various men is the most beverage of the nation is invariably the children of the contented lover, who children of the contented lover, who Americans, who gather with their fam- iliars, who gather with their tall stems at their elbows. Temptation might find much to cavil at in the morning, and the evening, joining in the general beer drinking, more domestic or peaceful gatherer there these could not be found at any fireside. As to secret intemperance, which we saw far greater evil than the general drinker, the other which has grown to be the custom, the one done away with. It is now regarded and treated as a disease, while years ago it was both women and men, were hidden in homes in order to keep the secret from the world. Wines are no longer made at home, young that they once were, on the theory that a danger of overindulgence in this basis. At the colleges and clubs there is more wine than twenty-two; but there is less wine. This latter is uncommon nowadays, for the reason that the offenders are rapidly increasing. Intolerance is distinctly unfashionable. A woman physician gives as he: opinion on the allegations of feminine intolerance and the use of drugs the following: "Another potent force which will forever preserve the American woman from the dangers of alcohol or drugs in this era is her determination to achieve and retain beauty. She strives by every means in her power to enhance her beauty, and she knows which nature may have denied her. She knows from education and observation that nothing will so speedily or so surely change her beauty. Brightness of eye and grace of form as she various nostrums that are supposed to act as 'braces', either dart or wins, will change her beauty. Children of today seem to have learned."

The bureau of Kiel transmitted it to all the world, the world, and it was reproduced in the astronomical bulletin of "Nature" and also recorded in the "Astronomische Nachrichten." Upon investigation it appears that the report originated from the following telegram received Dec. 8, from the Flugtaff observatory. Mr. A. E. Dougles, while observing the planet Mars on Dec. 7, saw a projection on the north edge of Icarum Mare, which the report stated that Mr. Dougles saw a series of bright lights appear on a straight line extending over several hundred kilometers. For an hour and ten hours these gigantic fires burned without interruption, disappeared as rapidly as they had come. "From observation we know," says M. de Fouville, in the European edition of Herald, that light never proceeds geometrically. The action seems to indicate a voluntary action. the appearance and disappearance of these lights at the same time increases this conviction. Therefore he concludes that light is observed by Mr. Douglass are signals from the supposed inhabitants of Mars. We are advised to be on the lookout for more signs, since the planet is rapidly approaching us, when it will be only 63,500,000 miles distant. cur Feb. 23 about 1 a. m., and is unfortunately not one of the favorable oppositions when the distance of Mars from the earth is but 35,000,000 miles. However, this unfavorable opportunity, since "if the inhabitants of Mars really lighted those fires, it is indispensable to let them know that we understand the message, and that we understand some special alphabet in understanding some special alphabet we may invent for their benefit." We can see in imagination the imaginary inhabitants of Mars straining their muscles to escape the encounters in the direction of our planet in the direction of seeing some signal in response to their greeting at the beginning of the new century, and we wonder what novel scheme occurs to the fertile brain of some imaginative mortal on this momentous occasion. Apparently the Martians have not yet lost hope of attracting cur attention, for at the opposition in 1894 there were vague reports in circulation on planet earth with certain bright lights which had been observed, and it was suggested that these were flash light signals from the planet. The probability is that these bright lights were icebergs tilted in such a way that they reflected more directly the light of the sun, that is unless we accept the sun's effect, according to which the ice patches on Mars are not frozen water, but frozen carbonic acid. Many and varied have been the schemes for signalling Mars, principally by means of electric lights or the arrangement of icebergs figures upon the surface of the earth. About the same time the following suggestion was made by Mr. Frank H. Norton, in an article appearing over his sigh in the Illustrated American for June 6, 1949: "It will be remembered that in 1851 a legacy was left by Mme. Guzman and confided to the Institute of France in the sum of 100,000 francs, to be given to any person of any nationality who within ten years of his birth, means of communicating with a star or planet and receive a reply. Now, without any special anxiety with regard to the destination of this large prize, but rather for the purpose of keeping the subject in the mind, going to suggest a possible means for such communication. "It is only reasonable to suppose that the exhibition of an unusual light would occur to any intelligent being as the best means for attracting the attention at the moment of course; cardinal people know very well what is important when their planet is visible at all from the earth, and the period of their opposition to the sun the only time when the surface of their planet can be thoroughly and closely observed. It would therefore choose night and light for purpose of attracting the attention of the people on the earth. It follows that the simplest method by which to reply to this supposed signalling, and to attract their attention, would be the same employed by them to " $ \cdot $ " night and light, and be lited up at night as it is, we should choose some place upon it which is peculiar by being always in darkness, so far as artificial light is concerned. It should be, also, a place easily high lighted; it should be at some point on the earth similar to itself for some reason it is possible. It should respond to some nsas Saloonkeepers Wen point on the Martian surface having prominence of its own." All these conditions, according to Mr. Norton, seem to be confirmed by only one spot on the whole surface of the earth. That spot is in the neighborhood of the moon, after pointing out all its possibilities. Mr. Norton suggests that permission be obtained to run a line of Edison incandescent lights up each angle of the greatest illumination possible. The illumination is complete. Supposing the combined illumination insufficient; then light up all the other eight pyramids of the Ghizeh group and see how that will work. Apparently the necessary permission was given. At any rate no information has been received as to the results, successful or otherwise, of this unique method of signalling Mars. He suggested the construction of a gigantic electrical diagram, geometrically designed, with a vast plain as the background. At the present time he advocates the scheme advanced by Dr. Norton, sending a message to Mars. The latter is of the opinion thatunning certain well-known groups of stars, such as the great dipper of Ophi, might possibly attract the attention of the people on Mars, and, taking it for granted, that they would be expected that they will reply in like manner. Vast possibilities occur to us, as we see a new and elaborate celestial alphabet constructed by means of the constellations, forming an introduction, as it were, by slow and sure methods to our mind, and should be found on the planet Earth. Should communication thus be established between Mars and the earth, the new century would then, indeed, prove a marvellous period in our planet's history. Supposing even the above landed astrometry should prove a failure in establishing Mars, Nikola Teixeira is hopeful of possible success in communicating with Mars by means of certain ingenious electrical devices. In his recent experiments in atmospheric electricity he assures us Intentional Duplicate Exposure that he has obtained results which he believes will make communication with Mars's laws. Scientists, it is true, doubt his theory, but in his reply to his critics she affirms that he has not the slightest intention to measure the lights and measurements, that it is within the bounds of possibility to convey a message to Mars. With a properly constructed oscillator and such a planet can be transmitted to such a planet as Venus or Mars, even at their greatest distance, sufficient to bring into action a sensitive instrument such as I have been using in my observations. Furthermore, it is an enormous amount of power is necessary for interplanetary communication. What is needed is an effect specifically great—an enormous rate of energy delivered, but lasting each time about a second, the total used is small. Now, with my oscillator I can move this rate equal to five million horse power and more, if necessary, and my calculations show an ample fraction of this rate is simply sufficient for conveying a message to Mars." Thus we witness, at the beginning of the new century, a revival of the theory as to the possibility of communicating to the people on Mars, taking it for granted that the planet habitable to one being as great a problem as the other. Nikola Tesla expresses a hope that the people on Mars may be as intelligent as we are, if not more so. If we are assured that they are not wasting our time and signal to the people on planet Earth by means of electric or otherwise, for they are probably not even aware of our existence. It seems difficult to realize the fact that, seen from Mars, our planet presents very nearly the appearance Venus as us, the latter being earth's twin sister as e Only Foxy. regards size, density and general constitution. However, Venus, being nearer the sun, receives about twice as much light and is consequently brighter than the earth, but when in the zenith of her glory and nearness to the earth she is unfortunate; and the sun, so that the illuminated side is turned away from us. On the other hand, it comes nearer the earth than any other planet (excepting the newly discovered planet Eros), the newly discovered being about 28,000,000 miles. The nearest planet our planet is a lilies over 33,000,000 miles at a favorable opposition, and at 32,000,000 miles at an unfavorable opposition, as in the instance. Consequently the splendor of our planet is less than that of Mars is less than that of Venus seen by Why, then, should the inhabitants of Mars be desirous of communicating with the astronauts? Judged from their standpoint, the vastness of our planet covered by the great oceans, and the ever changing masses of cloud, probably suggest as great problems to the inhabitants of Mars as to whether our planet is habitable or not. Live on as are suggested to us by the atmospheric peculiarities of their own planet. Flammarion and Lowell, in considering the habitability of Mars, have seemingly overlooked the sirti us difficulty regarding the very low temperature of the planet; and have overlooked the low density of the atmosphere of Mars, probably less at the planet's surface than on the tops of our highest mountains. This would naturally assist to keep down the pressure to a point far below the freezing point of water. As a result, Mars receives but one-half the amount of light and heat that we are accustomed to here, owing to its greater distance from the sun. Consequently extreme cold is required of the planet unless it is provided with an internal means of heat yet unknown to us. Yet for some reason in a milder climate apparently prevails on Intentional would seem possible under the circumstances. The year lasts 687 days and the seasons are nearly twice as long as here. During the lorg winter season *great* snowfalls occur and polar regions. At any rate, the polar caps of Mars really seem to be masses of ice deposited from vapor in the planet's atmosphere, and it appears as if the ice melted during the Martian summer. Water is immense quantity of water is set free, the ice is melted and as a result the land is submerged as far as the tropics. At the same time "canals" begin to make their appearance as dark, cold lme, growing wider and thicker, and as wide as across, and then by way of variety they double, very often within the short interval of twenty-four hours. The twin carls run side by side like railroad tracks, only in this instance the tracks are much thicker, a distance of two or three hundred miles. At the junction of the canals spots have been observed, termed "oases" by Mr. Lowell and "lakes" by the Milanese. The oases are of diameter age is about 139 miles, but the largest of all, known as the "Lake of the Sun," is 300 miles long. If we accepted the theory that the canals were made by the inhabitants of Mars, and that merchant vessels of these canals to all parts of that distant world, then the "Lake of Mars" would seem to be the place where we might suppose Martian merchants most likely are. The idea, however, that the round spots are oases rather than canals has been more generally accepted since these spots have been observed to darken as the spota increase in size, showing the advance of the oases. The oases are vegetation on their surface. This would seem to indicate that the canals and oases are of artificial construction and may have been the work in ages past of intelligenz beings who once populated this planet. When we recall the fact that the planet is subject to yearly inundations, devastating large tracts of land, then if Mars ever was an inhabited land, canals must have proved an obvious necessity. In the past, the only known landmass that lorries as Flammarion and Mr. Lowell of the Flagstaff observatory, ArIZON, that the canal system of Mozis is undoubtedly the work of the inhabitants of China or the kings of Egypt. According to a calculation made some years ago by the astronomical association it would require an eighteen,200,000 men, working for 1,000 years, to construct the canal system now outlined on Mars. Nevertheless, owing to the gravity on this planet, the men might be stature greater than ours without being burdened by their own weight, and dealing as they would have to with material better than more than three as heavy as hers, their work would be greatly more effective. If we could be transplanted to the planet Mars we would be surprised at the difference in the weight of objects in that planet. The smaller the mass of a planet, the more its attractive power. An object that would weigh only three-twenty pounds on Mars. Prof. Young tells us that "a man who here weighs 100 pounds would weigh only sixty pounds on a planet. If we were able to jump to a height of 10 feet on the earth he could jump three feet there, the greatest case. So far as this condition goes a Martian elephant might be as agile as a terrestrial deer." Mars is considerably smaller than the earth, and its volume is in diameter, while the earth is 7.018 meters in substance in the earth were made into so many ball would be as large as the planet Mars, its volume being only one-seventh that of the earth. Could Mars and the earth be weighed in a gigantic pair of ball would take nine gibbs weighing as much as ten cars to make the scales even, the mass of Mars being one-sixth that of the earth. It seems strange that we are able to tell the weight of a planet millions of miles away by the power of attraction exerted by Mars and by the moons given the secret away. Knowing of the moons of Mars and the attractive power that must be exerted by Mars to keep them from wandering away from his home, we can tell how great is the attraction of matter by the quantity of matter the planet contains. If a body is the force with which it is attracted by the mass of a planet. If a baseball club could journey to Mars, and despite the atmospheric peculiarities it would play a game, the distinction between man and planet is very forcibly illustrated. The ball would be drawn toward Mars by only one-third of the force that the earth draws it, and it would be nearly as light as a rubber ball. It would stay long in the air when batted and home runs would be made all the time. If the planet Mars ever has been or is inhabited it must be by a race of beings not constituted as we are. According to the Young, "intelligent beings exist there, and they are strong that they are very different from those which we can hardly conjecture, since the difference between the earth and Mars in physical conditions must almost necessarily have determined different lines of contact with two planets. It may be said with confidence that Mars our Mars the condifiers, different as they must be from our own, are still more nearly earthlike than on any other of the heavenly bodies which we can see with our present telescopes. Signals from Mars the same authority assures us that there is not the siglest proximity we may any instrument we low posses we could distinguish any signals they could make. And, supposing they could, who would be able to read their meaning? The siglest interest in planets for a smaling Mars, it is rather curious to note that the time has about expired to note that the bestowal of the legacy left by Mine Guzman. Not long ago a notice appeared in a scientific journal to the effect that the bestowal of the signature institute - Mary Prector, in New York Herald. A Nutrient trial, connecting on the fact that eleven of the nine pigs that were treated with trichloroethane were flaked with trichloroethane from Prasula, concludes research that the majority of excluding pigs are not affected by the only maximal free P treatment. $2.40 PER YEAR. OLY YEAR THE AGGREGATE WAS SOMETHING OVER FOUR MILLION DOLLARS NE OF WORLD'S RICHEST MEN the source of His Official Revenue— A Good Deal of Money Invested in United States Bonds. Some Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat, if a man were given to the five men in the world who no largest live incomes, not one in a hundred, no largest incomes, not one in a sope of Home; and yet there is probably a man in the world whose income last was more than the value of he pep's. It is true that no statement of his receipts is given out at the Vatican, but it is very easy to estimate from these receipts not more than two men curate idea of the political budget during the holy year. Beside the pope him- self, not more than two men know the exact amount of money come. One of these is Cardinal Kum-polla, the papal secretary of state, and the other Cardinal Moench, the man who sought the money. Cardinal Moeceni is one of the most popular cardinals in the Carla. He has a great favor with the populate of the city. The amount of money which he handles the amount of money in ordinary years is enormous, but in ordinary years, receipts will be increased nearly $1,500,000, and the amount which passed through Cardinal Moeceni is $1,500,000. The greatest part of this enormous income is "Peter's pence" about $1,000,000, the greatest increase in the church in holy year was responsible for a great increase in the total income of the fund. Approximately the pope's income last year was as follows: Income from real estate in Italy $1,500 income from arms invested in re- Service, bachelor..... 1,299.00 Special honours and gifts..... 2,600.00 Peter's perce..... 2,600.00 Total..... $1,455.00 The expense account of the holy father does not nearly reach this sum. It consists principally of salaries of cardinals, of divinates and household expenses, of dividends and wages. Salaries of cardinals and envoys..... $290.00 Salaries of cardinals and envoys..... $290.00 Army officers and gendarmes..... 26.00 Papal servants..... 14.00 Papal servants..... 14.00 Library, museums, galleries, etc..... 26.00 Household, garden and stable..... 510.00 Expenses of secretary of guite..... 77.00 Personal expenses of the pope..... 2.50 Repairs at St. Peter's Rome..... 15.00 Gonntine expenditures and losses..... 26.00 Total..... $1,025.00 It will be seen from the above statement that a bonusome balance in the paral treasury as a result of this income of the holy year. It will be seen that the pope comes from three different sources: 1. Peter's penance, which consists of a series of acts in all parts of the world. This great amount of revenue was devised by the late Cardinal Manuel de Longe, after the pope was made a cardinal when he enjoyed temporal power. Now a special collection is taken in every year by the pope, and the amounts being brought to Rome by each bishop at the time of his visit are sent to the pope, the amounts every year, but, as has been said, the amount this past year was greater than the amount this year, but all donations and gifts present the pope for personal use by the people he grants private audiences to the globe to whom he grants private audiences from this source is generally considered the private property of the pope, and it greatly increases the special anniversaries. 2. Interfere accruing from previous investments. This is a large item, and is primarily pursued during the reign of the present Pope. His immediate predecessor, Pope John XXIII, accumulated during the last four years of his reign, which he had invested in securities to provide for a need that might arise in the event of some one or more of his successors. In 180, with the consequent diminution of the revenues of the holy see, the unceasing of the amount of Peter's pim in the church, he was forced to canon council, during which he had to provide board and traveling expenses for nearly every bishop in the world, led by the pope. The result was a fund for the possible future needs of his successors. Unfortunately, however, the administration of all these millions was then disbanded, and Mrz Polech, who had carte blanche as regards the selection of the securities issued in which the money was invested. The money was at its widest invested in gilt-edged securities, but several Italian politicians and speculators were less than five months away from order to place the sum realized into fourth-rate Italian enterprises. The result was that funds less than five months old would be $60,000 in financial crash which swallowed Cristi and the Banca Romana. The realization the necessity of giving the administration of the paral funds into the hands of several Italian banks, the court, and he, therefore, formed a mission of cardinals to which be intrusted the administration of all the possessions of this commission.

Last Saturday morning Judge Cutting, of the Probate Court, gave the motion of the day to hearing the witness Thomas Estate. The fight is being waged by Mrs. Thomas on the one hand, and Hester Thomas Morrison, of New York, on the other hand. Mrs. Thomas claimed that while Hester Thomas band all right, that she was the daughter of her husband by the daughter of Mrs. Thomas No. 1 (Mr. Thomas' own step-daughter). To prove this she taught to court Henry Mitchell, who seemed to be the other hand Lawyer Anderson, represented that Mr. Thomas in his judgment was the most licentious man he ever knew and was not good enough to marry or associate with any daughter. On the other hand Lawyer Morrison, put on the stand Lawyer E. H. Morris, Hon. John Q. Grant and wife, Mrs. E. H. Wright, Mrs. Henry Washington, Mr. Wm. Churchill, Elmer Anderson, represented prominent persons, all testifying in this legitimacy of Hester. Upon this showing the judge held that Hester Morrison was a legitimate child and overruled Mrs. Lawyer. Lawyer Anderson examined Mrs. Thomas thorning the estate and ascertained that there was $22,000 in government bonds bought in 1893, which Mrs. Thomas claimed to be her, and that there was a estate standing and some real estate name. The court permitted Lawyer Anderson to examine the bonds which were in a safety vault, and he found that the bonds have been bought in '93. Thomas, that they were bought eight months after her husband's death (presumably by her). When this fact was made known by the court he or a notice to be sent to her and intimated that the statement made in court she had committed jury and contempt of court. The matter will come up again in a few days. To the Chicago Womens Club Mrs. Edwards, Officers and Members: The B. W. Club have been watching the B. W.

Plummer and the 175 women who had the right to boldly stand up for right and justice regardless of color, race, creed or culture. Resolved, that we cannot find words enough to express to these good women the hope they have raised in us and the admiration they have earned than ever to follow the motto of our National Federation of Color Women, "Lift as We Climb." Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the W. C. and a copy spread upon our own desk that every expressed thought that each gave in our behalf will never be forgotten. FANNIE H.

Presiding Officer of British House Have Many Advantages. There are few public offices so august and so comfortable as that of speaker of the British House of Commons. To begin with the enrolments: The speaker's salary is twenty-five thousand dollars a year; there are miscellaneous allowances which amount to almost as much more, and to these is added a handsome official residence such as a prince might envy. Moreover, while the speaker listens to the speeches of dull members or restraints the language of the impostive, he is blinded by the reflection that, whenever he is included to give up the office, he can retrain with it. In assurance of receiving a check for a thousand pounds every three months for the rest of his days. Such a reflection might well beguile the most tedious debate. The speaker has great power. No member of the house can speak in debate except with his consent. He can stop any member whom he regards as using unparliamentary language, and can point him if he closes. He can close any debate; he can close some points of parliamentary law, for instance disputed. These powers are abused by a partisan; but the speaker is considered which determines his selection to both parties. He is nominated by the leader of the government party, and the nomination is seconded by the leader of the opposition. When the office becomes vacant the government chooses for speaker a member of the house. He is included in a change of government he is not displaced, even after an election at which his party is defeated. Under the American system, it is not possible that the speaker of the house of representatives should be so colorless a person as the speaker of the house of commons is expected to be. The British ministers have seats in parliament, and are the leaders of the house. In this country the separation of executive and legislative functions deprives the house of official leaders, and the deputy party needs the office of speaker in increasing its policy upon legislation. New within these recognized limitations, speakers who were robust partisans have shown themselves capable of great fairness toward political opponents. BALLOT CROSSED Mrs. Florence Earl Coates' Husband Voted Against Her Among the gifted women of Philadelphia none shines with more brilliance than Mrs. Florence Earle Coates: Among Mrs. Coates' treasured possessions is a letter written by Matthew Arnold shortly before his death, in which he spoke of the delightful hours spent in her home, and expressed the speed of a speedy reunion in her fragrant garden. At one of the decorative buildings of Philadelphia Browning society, with its 100 members—over which Mrs. Coates presides—there was an anusing episode: Printed slips bearing the names of the nominees had been collected from the audience, and the committee who had been appointed to count, the votes was just about to announce to Mrs. Coates her unanimous election, when Mr. Coates handed her a slip with her heavily crossed and recessed in a fashionless fashion, and remarked: "Here is the object decided to your election." Mrs. Coates took the paper, smiled, flushed, and laid it aside, evidently not caring to have the committee see how much she felt the objection, and the conversation went on. But her eyes returned in a troubled way to the scowling erasure, and finally, picking it up, she murmured: "I wonder how it can be? Some one, I fear, whom I have unintentionally hurt or displeased," but the committee watching a glimpse of her husband's face, she said: "it was Mr. Coates, of course! How could you?" and joined heartily in the laugh that followed—Saturday Evening Post. Making Mountain Peaks Accessible. For the last half century much has been heard of the perils of mountain-ing. But while graphic pictures continue to be drawn of the horrors of the Alps on foot, with guides and ropes, no one has yet told the trusting tourist of the dangers which may await him if he climbs the heights of Switzerland in a railway. The aerial tracks increase all over the playgrounds of the mountains, perhaps it will be proved that all mountain peaks may be made accessible to the child, the invalid and aged. Those who desire exciting times even when climbing by rail should go to the Alps in spring, when the mountains are unburdened themselves of the cold of winter snow and the work has been commenced on the precipitous railways in preparation for the summer traf. Tim Murphy, the popular comedian, saw an old colored woman sitting under an anwining fanning herself when he was in Washington, D. C., last summer.
