disappearance of the snow cap aur- when about fifteen years old, and con

fact that It was summer in the south-!

anowa melted more and more rapimy
as the sun rose higher upon them. Yet,
although the reason was plain, and be
cause it was plain, one could not watch
ttw Browne without experiencing a
strange feeling that amounted almost
to awe. It is quite easy. Bays tne sci
entific American, to think disi .ision
ately of the possibility that some things
may go on in other Avurlds just as they
do in this one as 'ong as your eyes have
not confirmed what is in your mind;
but when peering through a telescope

the eSect is startling, it w line com

was 8,400 mik 'acre. A anow
proportionate dimensions on the earth,
would, in the northern hemisphere, ex
tend as far south as St. Petersburg, the
southern point of Greenland and Mount
St. Eiias in Alaska. By July 1 the di
ameter of the snowy area had dimin
ished to about 1.500 miles. On August
1 it was only 1,100 miles and on August
SI, the date of the summer solstice in
the southern hemisphere of Mars, the
snow cap was but 500 miles across. But
heat accumulates in a Martian summer
after the sun has begun to decline, just
aa it does upon the earth, and accord
ingly the melting of the snows contin
ued after the solstice was passed. At
tie end of September the diameter of
the Bnow-covered region was only about
950 miles, and at the opening of Novem
ber it was leas than 200 miles,
Now comes a curious fact. About the
middle of October It was reported that
the polar snow cap of Mars had van
ished; some of the most powerful tele-
scones failed to reveal a trace ol It!
Yet it is not probable that it had actual
ly entirely disappeared. The explana
tion of the apparent disappearance is
m doubt to be found in the fact that
as the snow area diminished it left the
nole uncovered by receding to one side,
for previous observations have shown
that on Mars, as on the earth, what
may be called the "pole of cold"
docs not correspond in location with the
fole of the planet's axis. Schiaparelli's
observations in 1877 and lb78 showed
that the center of the snow cap during
its minimum in those years was dis
placed toward that side of the pole
corresnonding to an areoeraDhic longi
tude of about 40 degrees. With the
other tide of the olanet turned toward
the earth the snow cap would
have been invisible, being, so to
to sneak, hidden behind the pole. This
i RtirmreiiUv tost what occurred1.
in the middle of October last. The
south pole was then free from ice, and
the center of .the snowy region was
displaced, as in 18T7 and 18T9, along the
meridian of 40 degrees. But iWwaa on
the other side of the planet whieh was
at that time presented toward the
earth during the best hours for obser
vation, and consequently no polar snow
wasseen; not because it had no exist
ence, but because it was concealed.
It is probable, however, that at its
minimum the snow cap was exceeding-
lv small, nerhans less than one hundred
miles in diameter. No such rapid and
and extensive disappearance of snow
and iee ever occurs upon the earth, al
though the advocates of an open polar
sea may find encouragement In the
fact that the uncovered south pole of
Mars corresponds in color and general
appearance with what are believed to
be the water areas of that planet, while
what remains of the snow cap in such
circumstances rests apparently upon a
mass of land, perhaps no more than an
island rising out of the polar ocean.
Owing to the larger eccentricity of its
orbit, the extremes of temperature on
Mars are greater than upon the earth,
although the total amount of the solar
beat received by the planet is less than
half as much as we get- But more im
portant than these differences is the
rarity of Mars' atmosphere, which has
recent spectroscopic observations of
Prof. Campbell. It may not be scien
tific, but It is certainly human to ask
whether it is probable that human be
ings resembling ourselves were includ
ed in the field of view of our telescopes

business of carrying passengers and
mails. .
Probably the most interesting of Mr.
Beeside'g experiences were in connec
tion with the national road, or "old
pike," projected by the national gov
ernment in 1N06.. This road extended
from Cumberland, Md., westward over
the Alleghanies to the Ohio river. It
was the main artery of travel for pas
senger, mail and freight trade until
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad took its
place.
From Baltimore to Cumberland the
turnpike was older, having been con
structed by private persons and compa
nies. XUCHUIKVVtWCllIICIIUUU
"Thestage-coach headquarters in Bat
timore." said Mr. Keeaide, "wore at old
ml the FonntoIn taBt
whioh8toodon the ,w theCarrollton
hotel. The coaches used were open at
the front and sides, with seats for
eleven passengers besides the driver.
All seats faced the front of the vehivlo.
Saddlebags, whieh were carried in that
time for baggage, were hung on the
posts supporting the top of the stage.
A small rack behind for trunks wua
seldom used. A tin lantern, with a
tallow dip, placed over the driver was
used at night.
"Four strong horses drew these
coaches, with relayB every ten or twelve
nines at stages or stations, from which
probably came the name of the vehicle.
(.The average rate of fnre was six cents
a mile. At first travel was only in the
daytime, with stops over night at the
numberous excellent inns or taverns
Which lined the road.
"One of the great obstructions to
travel along the road were large droves
of cattle, sheep and hogs being driven
from western pUtinstoeastern markets.
The cattle especially, with their long
horns pointed toward the oncoming
ooach, made a formidable obstruction.
"The two hundred and seventy-two
miles from Baltimore to Wheeling wero
first made in four days, with nightly
stops. The best stape coai'h time w:ia
afterward reduced to fifty hourt; by the
old Eclipse line, established by James
Keeaide."
Mr. Beeside Is probably the only sur
viving stage coach contractor of ns.
tional prominence. He is a .native of
Cumberland. Samuel I.nrman, said to
be the oldest living stage coach driver,
now lives in Cumberland. ;
