It the two simple tests of gravita .tlos .and temperature be applied to the habltabillty of the planet Mars, for example, it will be seen that it is fu tile to discuss the kind of life that naf exist upon Mars, for the reason that tke physical conditions necessary for the existence of life are not pres ent In that rery interesting planetary neighbor that revolves around our sun between .the orbit of Jupiter and the earth. It has been calculated that the temperature of Mars is 'too low to support metabolic change. . In , other words. Mars is too cold for life to ex ist upon it But even were this objection sur mounted, 'the small mass of Mars would still stand in the way. It has been calculated that the mass of Mars is not great enough to exert an at tractive power capable of holding the vapor of water to the surface of the planet The vapor of water would fly off into space from Mars, as free hy drogen flies off into space from the earth. If this be true, there is no life on Mars. The other planets of the solar sys tem are not seriously to be consid ered in this respect If Jupiter is not yet cool; if Venus looks with but one face to the sun; if Saturn is a molten mass; If Mercury's temperature is -above the boiling point, why imagine. then, that, life of any kind can exist on these planets?

Work had been going on all day in the sugar bush; the sap had been gath ered and drawn to the boiling-place, until there remained but a few scatter ing trees to be visited near the swamp. The boy was softly whistling to him self, when a rabbit with easy, graceful bounds crossed the road but a few paces ahead of Mm and stopped by the side of a birch-bush to nibble the ten der buds. Just then a startling sound came ud from the swamn. ' Why did the rabbit pause in his dainty meal and squat in his very tracks until his form more nearly re sembled a footprint in the snow than a living 'mammal? The chattering red squirrel ' dropped into the crotch of a tree, and ceased to chatter, as the ominous and almost supernatural Whoo - hoo - hoo - wo - hooo" sounded through the dismal swamp and ecnoea through the maple grove. This was the hunting-call of the great horned owl. ' The actions of the rabbit and squirrel did not surprise the boy, who had al-' ways heard that this owl was a ver-': litable Nero among the feathered race. As yet he had- never discovered the nest of the great horned owl. It was now the first week in March. Of late he had heard the weird call frequently rrom tne swamp, causing mm to De- Ueve the birds were nesting there, and he fully determined to make a search , for that nest The next day was spent in a fruit-' less search,' and it perplexed the boy, for often he had located the nest of the bobolink and meadow lark nests that are not easily found. But the second day's search ended. about noon, in rather an Interesting manner. The boy stopped for lunch and a little rest under a hemlock that he knew well, for, the spring before, a pair of crows had a nest in the tree. ; The old nest was still there, and. Just ( to see what condition it was in after the storms of winter, he ascended the tree. The nest was between fifty and sixty feet from the1 ground. Just imag ine the boy's surprise when about thirty feet from the nest to see a great horned owl silently glide off and wing Ho wow thmrxrh tho fru rnr Tr wo. I a revelation, upon reaching it to find! that the great horned owl had really j used the old crows' neat which had the appearance of peing slightly remod eled, and was sparsely lined with ever green leaves and feathers. In the nest were three white eggs, about the size of a bantam's. The boy afterward learned that the usual number of eggn deposited by the great horned owl ii two, and that sometimes the bird con structs a nest for itself in a hollow tree or an evergreen. On the flrst day of April there were two little owls In the nest and a day later a third appeared. They were queer-looking birds, seeming to . be nearly all head and eyes, and their bodies were covered with the softest down. The young birds grew very slowly, although the remains of flsh, mice, squirrels, rabbits and birds of various kinds -. furnished abandant evidence that the old birds were lavish in sup plying food. They remained In the nest for about eleven weeks, which is long compared with most of our birds many young birds leaving the nest in from twelve to fifteen days, and the woodcock, bob-white and ruffed grouse in about as many hours.

Local authorities in England have had a lively time of late with a band of Macedonian Gipsies that as a con tributor to Smith's Weekly of London rather cynically puts it, landed on these hospitable shores to swell the merry ranks of unemployed. First the- Herts police turned them into Essex; then the Essex police turn ed them into Cambridgeshire; then the Cambridgeshire police hustled them along on their own account and so on. I rather reckon this is exactly what the Macedonian or any other kind of Gipsy wants. All he doesn't much care about Is to be kept long In the same place. I' remember when on the Continent last winter running against a party if Tziganes, or Gipsies, from Hungary, who had founl themselves so harried by the police of Austria, Germany, and other countries, that they, had been driven over Into poor little Denmark, scores of them, wives, children, and all the rest who passed the time of day stealing and telling fraudulent fortunes in languages understood . by none of their customers. But when they arrived at Copenha gen, thinking themselves in for a nice quiet time among the harmless Danes, they were surprised to be met at that station by a' body of polite policemen. These . officials escorted the Gipsies from the arrival platform, across the station to the departure platform, on which was waiting another train back to the German ferry boat Into this train the gipsies wera politely packed, and In half an hour were merrily steaming back again to Germany. Germany In turn- refused to land them, so the Gipsies spent many pleas ant days and nights going to and fro on board the Baltic ferry steamers. What became of them finally I have no idea. They may be on those steamers to-day unless, of course, Germany or Denmark kindly shipped them over to England. .
