O. Lanepland at the Lowell Observatory at Flagstaff, Aelzena, established by Prof, Percival ,Lowell, non-resident professor Of astronomy at the Massachusetts Insti- tute, is now preparing to make public' together with full details of the observa- tions and his theories anol deductions from them. They are actual photograpne, the first really successful ones ever taken1. of the famous Martian canals. ,When it is remembered that at its nearest, point to, the earth Mars is still at the enormous distance of 35,050,000 miles the difficulties encountered in Vale stupendous, undertaking can be appre- cieted. Not only this, but the moments when atmospheric conditions are favor- able for photography are few and far between, and even at that out of several hundred negatives perhaps not more than half a dozen are really good. EARLY DISCOVERIES. Just 28 years ago Schaparrelli, the great Italian astronomer, discovered about one hundred and twenty faint lines on the surface of 'the" planet which he called "canali," or canals. He be- lieved they were cracks in the surface or the old channels of rivers. Unfor- tunately, however, this great discovery was greeted with derisionby other as- tronomers, because they were not able to detect the phenomena. So for nine, years he went on from discovery to dis- covery till al last Perrotin at Nice fur- nished the firs t confirniation. Since then the list of those who have detected the phenomena has increased with every opposition. ' Mars through •a powerful glass, ap- pears Much the sameas the moon 40 the naked eye, mottled with light and dark ,patches. Schaparrelli observed the canals ',tinning ' through the light patches, What he believed to 'be land, but could not detect them in the dark patches, what he thought was water. But that the dark is not:water but vege- tation is the result of the remarkable discoveries at Flagstaff, for the canals' have been, detected running continuous- ly through' light and dark alike. .t -eet-Agti,TEll AND SUMMER. Starting at the polar caps or circles Of eternal snow and ice at the poles the canals run for thousands of miles to the . equator. Cross canals intersect them and in the ,Martian springlithe when the sun melts the polar caps they fill the water and the banks take on the • *greenish tinge of vegetation'. As would be natural under these artificial condi- lions the Wave of vernal changes sweeps from the poles towards the equator, the very opposite of the procedure on the • earth. As the Martian winter ap- proaches the canals fade, even the per- manent dare patches turn lighter in shade, as if the vegetation were dying, and the general appearance is the same as the earth., would look if view from a great distance at the same time of the year. • Then' es no natural explanation that can account for the phenomena and the • only reasonable solution is the canals are the effort of an intelligent and highly civilized life to maintain its existence on a planet whose surface is an arid desert. - NO OCEANS THERE. • Like the moon • Mars has no ocean's. Ages ago they sank into the interior or evaporated and were lost •in interplane- tary space. This is proved by the spec- troscope. That it has an atmosphere ;$ proved' by two things : flee, there is a perceptible 'twilight along the termina- te'', or edge uf the planet, turning into or out of the sunlight; second, it is a *scientific fact that no chane could take place orethe surface if there were not an atmosphere. But flies atmosphere is only about one-third of the density of the earth's giving jest as much less protec- tion from heat and cold. Most of the water on the, .surface no'w is what has been held in form of vapor by, this air, as a sponge absorbs •moisture. In the cold season it Is deposited at the poles in the form of dew, which freezes layer upon layer, to melt in the spring, be distributed by the canoes and then be • reabsorbed by the air. • ARTIFICIAL CANALS. Perhaps the strongest argument to advance against the artificiality of the • phenomena of the canals is the magni- tude of the titanic task, but there is,art even better explanation. As a result • its lesser volume and mass, gravity, on mars would be about one -third -of that force on the earth. Consequently, if one were, transported to Mars he -could do three times as much work there as herd with an equal amount of energy. Fur. ther, he would probably grow three times as large, since he could do so without being any more unwieldy than he was here before. Since hie muscles would inerease in three dimensions, length, breadth and thiekness, • he would he fwenty-seven' Wiles as strong, • With this inereased strength and dirnin- ished gravity he would be eighty-one time es effeetive. Since gravity on Mars is really a little More than one-thied that on the earth, thin reniodelled Matt Would be about, fifty limes as strong tie his worldly • brothers, 9r be able to do the work of two horses. • • " HE HADN"T HEARD., • "Mugley's daughter arid young FieklY donl, seem to be, ab fond of each other' as they used to bee' • "Oh, ncee" "Wonder why?D' "Great 'Scott, ' man!'

Holidays are, of course, universal, though each nation has its own me- thods and times for celebrating special events. England has not the monopoly 01 heroes, saints, and other induce- ments for •a • general abstention from et ork. Indeed, so far as the British Isles are concerned, a bank holiday is a rare event—that is, compared with the rest of Europe. • Turkey, for Jeistance, has no fewer than twenty-one general holidays in the course of twelye months and this record is very nearly equalled by ,Japa.nand the nurnerouse republics in South America. • It is, therefore, not a matter for sur - r rise that the agdregate number •of holidays for 1906 should amount to 338, involving 217 different days. The die- ference in totals is accounted for by. the fact that several •anniversaries are celebrated on one particular day. Thus, June 4th Is appropriated by Australa- site Western, Australta„ Italy, New. -Or- 'cans, and Rouma.nie. for a hceiday, each one having a distinct origin. Republics have a weakness •for -cele- brating Independence Day, There are nineteen •of these states, and each has its special anniversary. At their head We have the United Strata the minor lights •including • Hayti, Cuba, Argen- tina, and Peru. . -China, apparently, has only one day that can be tatted a bank holiday. It goes by,the romantic name of the Chinese Dragon Festival, and is cele- brated with great. pomp. • It is, how- ever, a port of double-barrelled • carni- val, for it is also the birthday of the Emperor. • 1:he Ruesian calendar is somewhat plentifully besprinkled with holidays, and it only needs the birth of a royal prince to •induce the loyal Russian work- men to take a holidays They celebrate Christmas Day on the 7th of January, and New Year's Day on the 1.4th of the same month. This is due to a fondness for he old style . system of reekening the passing of time. ' •• Out of this total of 338 only six bank holidays:a-including •Goecl Friday- and Christmas ' Day—are credited to Eng- land. But Ireland, having recently de- cided to add St. Patrick's Day to the Iist, has seven, or two niqe then Scot- gt land. „Moan Is more . ' erous, 'how- ever, and her list of six een holidays includes several picturesqUe aniversari- •et: of dead heroes, with even more pieturesque names. The early harvest has its own festival day, and the Im- perial Banquet Day, is rigorously ob- served throughout- the Mikado's domin- lens on January 5th. , Easter, Whitsun, and ChriStmas are, of eourse, duly ce- lebrated by the Christian element ire the population. , MEDICINE FOR CHILDREk.

The latest treatment for the preven-• ton of Hay Fever prescribes systema- tic and continued exercise taken- in timely advance of the season for the appearance of the complaint. Special- istsin the disease do not Understand its nature. It IS not now thought to be a form of catarrh and local appli- ea tions have been largely abandoned. The theory that it is rheumatism of the mucus membrane is not accepted. A more favored • idea attributes the in- ception of Hay Fever to sluggtshness of the Jiver and bicycle riding is recoln- Mended to keep this organ in an active and healthy condition. After Hay Fever has arrived, the sufferer will find 'nei- ther comfort or relief in bicycling, but systematic and easy wheeling during the preceding months is . warranted to greatly modifythe severity of an ap- proaching attack, or to entirely prevent it. • e OLDEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
