Cracks or canal, ? While examining
the lava volcanoes et 1lnwun for resem-
blances to the cotters of the 'noon, ('rut.
Pickering made some striking photo-
graphs of so-called canals in the vol-
canic lava surfaces or plateaux. Along
one cf these creche vegetation has
sprung up, and the obvious inference is
that the so -culled canals in (liars, which,
because more clearly visible at some
Period of the year, owing probably to
the melting of the Martian polar ice crop
and consequent floods, are similar cracks
i11 the surface of Mars. (:racks of the
kind occur on the moon. The larged is
known as Sirsalio, which is 400 miles in
length. It Ls possible also that they ex-
ist. in the earth. It sometimes has been
• supposed that terrestrial volcanoes lie
along subterranean cracks which do not
- reach the surface. The volcanoes of the
great chain of the Andes lin nlong a
straight crack reaching from southern
Peru 10 Terra del Fuego, 2,500 miles
long. Since other lines of volcanoes are
numerous, and since countless others
existed in former limes the cracks in the
carpis crust must be exceedingly
numerous. Every mineral dike and vein
bears witness to this fact. There is no
reason why terrestrial creeks should not
he ns numerous as those in the 'coon.
1n the case of the earth they usually
have been closed, sometimes by liquid
mutter from below and sometimes by
surface inundations. One crack comes
10 the surface in various places in east-
= Asia and western Africa, and,
Stretching from the Dead Sea to Lake
Nynssa, reaches the enormous length of
2.500 miles. That is about the same
length as the longest of the Martian
canals.
liow and whence the light ? The fact
that a lun►inoes emanation of variable
shape will appear in the dark at such
points on the surface of the earth below
which (here are extensive ore deposits
was recorded in Germany ns far back as
1757. Immediately before or during an
electrical storm these phenomena are
striking. Similar observations more re-
cently knee been made in America in
the vicinity of ore deposits. 'Though
much has been nseribed to smite -sheen
and to errors of observation, the fact
nevertheless remains, as confirm, 41 by -
recent scientific investigation. The elec-
tric emanation has been frequently as-
certained by Mr. K. Zenger photographi-
catty. It therefore has been taken for
granted thnl the emanations occur with
nu- especially high intensity at those
points of the ground where good con-
ductors of electricity are found in large
amounts in the neighborhood of the sur-
face of the earth; in other words, above
ore deposits which are good conductors.
Lignite and mal, especially when they
contain pyrites, are fairly good conduc-
tors. The difference in the intensity of
radiation, as compared with points tree
from any ere, would seem to be recog-
nized by means of photography. Geolo-
gists thus have a simple way of locating
ore and even coal deposits.
A queer little animal is the one called
the "slipper animalcule," but which men
of science call "Paranineciu►n." The
most wonderful thing nbout this little
creature Is the rapidity with which it
multiplies. By a beneficent provision of

Arthur Twining Hadley Speaks of the
Value of Unaccomplished Aims.
Every roan likes to see the results of
Lis labor, the things that marl: his own
pw•w•er of achierCnicn1. Ile feels a pride,
and an honest pride, in the machines
that he has invented or the money he
has made or the prizes he has won. But
when this pride in the things which we
Lave done leads us Io underestimate the
things which we have not done, it ccas-
ee to be good and becomes perilously
bad. Il may be a grs.d thing to make
money;• but it may become n bad thing
if II lends us to neglect certain other
elements of life which are more valu-
able. It is a good thing to pinv to win;
but it may become a bad thing if it lends
us to forget that there are other stand-
ards besides the score. It is a good
thing to get high scholaila►ip maks;
11 may become a bad thing if it leads
:IS to forget that (here are standards
of scholarship and of intellectual attain-
ment outside of the narking book. So
in every department of life. llonesl
pride in what a roan has actunily done
may lend hire to undervalue the things
he has not done, and may warp his in-
dividual standards until he loses all
sense of proportion between his own
work and that of others.
TIDE GOOD MAN'S PERIL.
Of all the dangers to which a reson-
nhly good men is subject, 1 honestly be-
lieve that the greatest is the danger of
losing the sense of moral proportion;
of overvaluing achievement as compar-
es with purpose, of overestimating the
small amount of visible work which
each of us has done, or failed to do,
compared with the vast amount of in-
visible work that still remains In be
done. There is no success so great as
to be worth much if it lends a nem to
stop working; and no failure so great
its to be irreparable unless it leads a
man to stop trying.
For the achievements which we can
see and Gel and pleasure are not the
gel art ones. The child can see the grrtwth
e1 the house that he builds with his
blocks. Ile ciuu:ot ser the growth of
the seed which he has planted in the
ground; and in his impatience because
he cannot. see it he often digs up the
seed and kills the plant. The life of
the plant, which evades our observation
i> a far greater Thing than the mere 111e-
chunical puaing together of blocks of
wood; and it is just because it is n Inc
greater thing that it evades aur .,1e r-
vation. "The Ittings which ere• sen
are temporal; the things which are Dot
seen are eternal." There is a world of
practical everyday meaning in This text.
It you are looking only at concrete re-
su1Ls w hi.h can be measured day I y
day, you at:• seeing the small side .•I
life and shutting your eyes to the large
side. You are contenting yourself wile
n low standard of success, and ate re-
jecting the higher standards. You arc
limiting your vision of the kingdom of
God just as narrowly as the Jews of
old limited their vision, though in a
different way.
TILE MAN AVOVE SUC('F.SS.
If a man has set his whole heart en
the attainment of some specific end-
Mllee or power or rank or wealth -he
is ever in a position of peril. If Ile suc-
ceeds his success may set n limit to his
ambitions and make loin incapable et
larger growth; if he fails his failure
may discourage him forever front fur-
ther effort. But if he has a higher and
targe. purpose in life, and his faith in
n kingdom of God which is not of this
world, then neither can earthly success
satiate him nor earthly- failure unnerve

TIIE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Rased on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
Idolatry Among the Ilebrew Patri-
archs. -ro'l'e early chapters of Genesis
are clearly intended to show that Ther
was it primitive knowledge of the true
God handed down through Noah to the
descendants of Silent. Of this special
knowledge Abraham, n little later, be-
comes the chosen custodian, and to his
pcstei ity the religion of Jehovah is given
as a rich heritage. There are, however.
scattered Through lite narratives here
and there indications of the fact that the
religion of the patriarchs had a back-
ground of idolatry. The command . to
Abraham to leave his kindred and his
father's house and to journey into a fur
country may have been intended to im-
ply that lite environment of Abraham's
early hone in Ur and in Doran was not
favorable to the knowledge and the wor-
ship of the one and only true God. '('hal
the near relatives of Abraham who re-
mained in Horan were ant entirely
weaned from ido.ulry is made clear by
the incident which occurred in Gilead,
when Labatt overlook Jacob and, among
other Things, demanded of hint, "Where -
fere hast thou stolen my gods," referring
to the teraphinl, or hot,sehold idols, one
of which Rachel had secretly (nought
with her front her falters house. Later
still Jacob finds it necessary to distinctly
ccmmmand Itis 1►ouschold and all that
were with hint, "Till away the foreign
gods that aro among you ... and I will
Make an altar unto God who answered
n►e in the day of my distress." I.ong
years afterwards, when under Joshua
the children of Israel renewed their
covenant with Jehovah til Shechem,
Joshua addressed the people in these
words : "Tints said Jehovnh, the God of
Israel. your fathers dwell of old time be-
yond the river. even 'feral, the father of
Al rohtun, and the father of Natter, and
they served other gods. And I took your
filler Abraham front beyond the river'
(Josh. 24. 2, 3). Thus it is distinctly

SMART TAFFETA GOWNS.
The day when the silk gown was con-
sidered one's "very best," and religiously
kept for high days and holidays, is quite
past. \\'e have discovered its usefulness
schen adapted to morning wear, for tra-
veling and church, and intend to make
lite most of
Not for years has !here been such (1-0.
silk season ahead as This coming springSIP
promises. Silks of every kind and color,
of every conceivable weave and design
will be extensively worn for all occa-
sions.
There will . be the simple shirtwaist
frock of silk, which, by the way, has this
season lost much of its simplicity ; tho
silk coatsuit, also much be -trimmed, and
the even more elaborate costume for
afternoon wear, or for cool evenings at
summer resorts. Silk will also be used
fcr motor cloaks and for the short,
dressy wraps which will be much in evi-
dence,
The new silks ere ninny, and most of
them very lovely in coloring and tex-
ture. As a rule lite color schemes are
not pronounced; indeed, there is a har-
monious softness among the newer and
better class silk tnalerials which is really
delightful.
While many fancy silks and radiums,
messulines find louisines are seen, popu-
lar favor has declared quite strongly for
taffeta, rajah and foulard, with, of
course, the omnipresent pongee.
Taffetas seem to have taken an en-
tirely new lease of life, possibly because,
with the softer finishes, some prospect of
endurance is held out. The chronic ob-
jection of most women of moderato
means to the ordinary crisp taffetas is
that they will cul -worse yet, cut just as
much whether they are worn hard or
carefully hung in the closet.
The popular supple chiffon taffetas, be-
sides being free from This objection, lend
themselves In graceful draping and to
the: long. easy lines so much un demand.
For the home dressmaker especially are
they preferable, as the stiff taffeta is dis-
tinctly turd to handle well.
'I'Itere are none. new and beautiful
effects shown among the soft taffetas.
Stripes, checks, plaids of every imagin-
able kind are seen ; sometime.; even
combinations of Iwo or mere of them in
the same material. Black -and -while
effects are particularly pxopular; or very
often they have an underlying note of
sett color introduced, tis a tiny dot or -
design sprinkled over the surface of a
check or plaid.
Many plain taffetas are seen in this
snit chiffon texture, or often there is a
changeable look given by a skillful
blending of self -tones.
All the colorings, by the way, are un-
commonly lx'autifnl, and far from being

panese blue and a rich bright navy,

choicest shades of the year.
Greens are also good when on the
almond or resesla tones, while browns,
especially In soft castor shades and in a
very warlr, bright brown, -without a
trace either of the usual chestnut roll or
mustard tones flint spoil so many
browns, will be equally in favor.
(treys in both light add dark shades
ere touch used, while even in taffetas the
rather strange but decidedly popular
combination of gray and bruvv 1, either In
stripes, plaids or changeable tones, nee
seen.
As said before. the taffeta shirtwaist
qe wit is less strictly tailored than for
s(v.rnl 5cnsons post. This is probably
due to the vogue of the guirnpe idea,
which is to more than retain its favor of
lin: lust winter, despte the feet that it
has been much overdone. New !dens in
