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 I and scientifically developed race could endure and master them. The engi neering skill and constructive capacity ; to control the annual floods from the 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 main 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 the 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 Jhrough senti ment or for any other reason whatever except lack of proof.-St Louis Star.. Humor and Philosophy By TtVJiCAJ M. SMITH PERT PARAGRAPHS. QONFIDENCE game is one that v makes a specialty of shattering confidence in the end. If truth were not elastic and resilient It would never in the world be able to resist-the pressure put upon it There are people who really seem to think that working for a living Isn't worth it The man who gets results Is seldom questioned too closely as to how he managed it Tou can't tell how much good a man can ao by the amount of noise he makes. . 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 r 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 ine was ended amid the laughter of ,the guests.

"Faking aside." said the nature stu dent, "there Is in New Zealand a cow boy spider, - This creature throws coil of web like a lasso over its prey'i head, then adds more and more coils and when the prey is bound hand and foot devours it. "There Is a Borneo spider that the spring days plays a fiddle. It is common thing for a lovesick spider to dance before bis girl, but this Borneo boy my drawing his arm across his 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 mup sic." Philadelphia Bulletin.
