THE MYSTERY OF MARS.
Old but Unsolved Problem, Is There
Animal Life on the Planet?
With a planet so old as Mars and so
far along in the process of life ex
tinction the conditions of life would be
severe, and only a highly Intellectual
and scientifically developed race could
endure and master them. The engi
neering skill and constructive capacity
to control the annual floods from ttje
poles, store the waters and build the
thousands of miles of huge canals
would require scientific knowledge be
yond that possessed by us at the pres
ent time and financial resources in ex
cess of those we have yet accumulat
ed. The nation that finds the digging
of a little ditch at Panama so great a
task would be helpless in the face of
such a problem as these thousands of
miles of Martian canals, if, indeed, ca
nals they be. Yet, in view of the
greater life age of Mars, such higher
intelligence would be natural in the
regular process of development, as
suming that it has ever been the abode
of intellectual life.
Scientists are In the main in a re
ceptive state on this subject. They
are not ready to admit that the exist
ence of life on that planet has been
proved. They do not deny it, but call
for greater proof than a plausible the
ory. Among others than scientists
there is in the tnain a disposition not
to accept the Martian human life
theory or the theory of life on any of
the thousands of spheres that wheel
and glisten in illimitable space. They
seem to think that such a theory con
flicts with religion and dwarfs man
and his importance in the scheme of
creation.
This seems to be a very narrow view
to take, since it appears to set bounds
upon the infinite power and creative
desires of the Almighty, whose great
scheme of mortal and immortal life is
not necessarily confined to a single
planet or the few billions of human
beings who are born and die upon it.
As to dwarfing the importance of man,
a few billions more added to the bil
lions on earth would make little differ
ence. Man is at best a small and in
significant creature, but if all embrac
ing wisdom, power and love takes so
licitous note of him it would be limit
ing those infinite qualties to say that
one planet must be his abiding place.
Therefore the question of human in
telligence on Mars or any other planet
of the solar system or *he other great
systems in remote space should be
purely and simply a scientific one, to
be accepted as true only when proved,
but not to be rejected through senti
ment or for any other reason whatever
except lack of proof.—St. Louis Star.
An Oriental Blessing.
A well known representative from
China, who was a guest at a wedding
In a capital city, was approached after
the ceremony by the best man and
Jocularly asked to go over to the
young couple and pronounce a parental
blessing. The obliging dignitary com
plied with pleasure. Placing his hands
on the blushing bride and shaking
bridegroom, he said: “May every new
year bless you with a man-child off
spring until they shall number twenty
five In all. May these twenty-five man
children offspring present you with
twenty-five times twenty-five grand
children, and may these grandchil
dren”—
But the little bride grew hysterical
about this time, and the oriental bless
ing was ended amid the laughter of
the guests.—Ladles’ Home Journal.
A Cowboy 8pider.
"Faking aside,” said the nature stu
dent, “there Is in New Zealand a cow
boy spider. This creature throws a
coll of web like a lasso over Its prey’s
head, then adds more nnd more colls
nnd when the prey Is bound hand and
foot devours it.
“There is a Borneo spider that in
the spring days plays a fiddle. It Is a
common thing for a lovesick spider to
dance before his girl, but this Borneo
boy my drawing his arm across Ills
turn produces a sweet, clear note.
Whenever he sees a good looking
young lady spider he stops and gives
her a tune, hoping to win her by mu
sic.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.
Miners’ Freedom From Cancer.
“Miners never have cancer. In thir
ty-five years’ practice in a mining town
I haven't had a single cancerous pa
tient.”
“And to what, doctor, do you impute
this immunity?”
“Miners are singularly cleanly. They
bathe every day. They rarely smoke.
They are a temperate and regular set.
Above all”—
The physician smiled grimly.
“Miners,” he said, “die young. Can
cer is an old age disease. And there
really is the reason of the miner's can
cerous immunity.” — Cincinnati En
quirer.
Not the Same.
“Excuse me,” he said as he entered
the public library at Pegantic, “but do
you have any social registers here?”
“No, we hain’t,” said the librarian,
with considerable hauteur. “This hero
bulldin’ is het up by steam, and wo
hain’t got nothin’ but radiators, nnd
we don’t allow no settln’ around with
your feet on to them neither. The near
est thing we got to a social registry in
this town is the postoffice stove.”—I.ip
pincott's.
A Reminder.
Mamma—What are you doing with
that string, Lola? Lola (aged five)—
Tyin’ it on my finger, mamma, so if I
ferget anything I’ll be sure to ’member
It.—Chicago News.
