FATE OFA WORLD
Its Course From Chaos to Its
Hopeless Death Struggle.
| THREE ACTS IN THE TRAGEDY
The First It Shown by Jupiter, the
8econd by the Earth and the Third
by Mart, While the Moon Show* the
Empty 8tage After the Play la Done.
No stage was over set for Much n
tragedy ?* tlio planet Mnr.s present#.
It Ih the lust net lit the il 'ninn of ?
world"* history!
The tlrst net in such n drama consists
of scenes from chaos. The huge plnn
et Jupiter offers us a spectacle of (tint
kind 111 Its strenniliiK belts of thick
clouds nnd Its whirling vapors, glow
Ins like stenm nltove n furnace.
The second net Is represented by tlie
earth, with Its fertile crust. Its cool, In
vigorating atmosphere nnd its life sus
taining sens tbnt give birth to tlie
clouds which, condensing on the
mountains, furnish the tains and set
the rivers flowing.
The closing net Is tlie rolo of Mnrs.
where the sens have vanished, the at
mosphere has thinned out. the rivers
have disappeared, the continents have
turned into deserts, und life, driven Into
11 corner. Is buttling ngnlust fliml ex
tinction.
That there Is yet Intelligent life on
Marx Is the universal belief of nil the
observers whom Mr. I.owell has gath
ered about hint lit his Hngstuff ob
servatory. where the extraordinary phe
nomena of thnt wonderful planet are
studied as nowhere else In the world.
More tluiii thnt, they tell us with
ever Increasing emplinsls t hut the peo
ple of Mnrs. compelled by necessity,
have developed n command over natu
ral forces which would icetn miracu
lous if exhibited upon the earth.
With them it bus become simply u
<ltn?tloii of brain power against the
Inanimate powers of nature.
They have nlgbts and days of the
same length as ours. They hnve sea
sons nltuost precisely corresponding
with ours, except thnt they uro each
twice as long. Hut their oceans nro
dried up, no ruins full (though there
may lie dews), and nearly all the at
mospheric moisture Is alternately lock
ed tip In one or the other of the polar
snowenps.
In such a situation no vegetation can
nourish unless artificially stimulated
by a gigantic system of Irrigation. And
without vegetation animal existence Is
impossible.
Hut whence can the Inhabitants of
Mnrs derive tlio water needed for Irri
gation? Tbo answer given Is thnt they
get It periodically from the melting of
the polar snows. Being without sens
und rivers they have no other source
of supply.
On Mars the reign of universal peace
must have begun ages ago. Introduced
not by moral or sentimental consid
erations, but by the necessity of unit
ing nil the engineering skill, all the in
ventlve powers nnd nil the physical
forces of the entire populntlou of the
plnuet In a common battle for life.
Tile only tlioiiKl't or UR'ir inventor*
Is of improved means for controlling
the slowly lessening supplies of iiioIh
ture tlmt once In ubout two of our
yearj may lie drawn nwn.v from one
of 'Jie poles while tile sun nier sun
shine Is dissolving Its tliln snows.
This universal concentration of men
tal energy u|>on n single aim Is con
ceived as having developed u|>on Mnrs
a knowledge of the hidden forces of
nature such ns has up to the present
merely been dreamed of on the earth.
We have Just begun to learn how to
use electricity In the mechanic, arts,
but they may have unlocked the seerct
forces Inclosed In the atoms of matter
which our science has recently assured
us exist without showing us how to
utilize them.
Only by such suppositions can the
"canals," hundreds of miles wide and
thousands of tulles long, be accounted
for. If. as the Flagstaff observers In
sist. those objects arc really of arti
ficial origin. It should be said, how
ever, that In Mr. Lowell's opinion the
bands called canals arc. In fact. Irri
gated belts.
The real canals 'within them arc In
visible, while the progressive darken
ing of these belts, as the polar melting
Increases, Is due to tho growth of veg
etation. stimulated by the water.
After tho world life drama closes
there Is left an empty stage, nnif this
Is represented by the moon. The lunar
world has lost all Its water. Its trag
edy Is finished. The actors nreall dead.
Mllllous of years ago there may have
been a battle for life there Ilk .- that
which now apjiears to be raging on
Mars. And millions of years In tho
future the stage of the earth will prob
ably lie set for j similar tragedy. Kor.

change a little Shakespeare's figure):
All the sky's a mane,
Anil nil the worlds and nina are merely

Folding a Coat.
Here Is tli.j way to fold a man's coat
when you want to pack It In a Imx
or n trunk. Lay the coat out perfectly
flat, right side up. Spread tho sleeves
out smoothly, then fold them back to
the elbow until tho bottoms of tho
cults nre even with the collar. Fold
the rovers back and double the cont
over, folding It on the center seam
Smooth out all wrinkles and lny It on
a level surface In the trunk.

taken on the run.- Dovld Starr Jordan.
A Philosophical

analytical geometry and all that, but
liiid during I lie summer encampments
eseorted yon iik ladle* to "Old Fort

danced with tlicm at bops.

mer vacations, lie was thlrty-flvo and
unmarried Ills friends said that ho
had proposed to so many girls wben
he was at West Point that there wero
none left for him to marry wben he
really meant business.
He bad passed out of tho reckless
lovcmnklng of youth. It had left him
dreamy. Imaginative, with a vein of
sentiment such as belongs to tbo poet
lie was fond of musing n|ion the won
ders of the universe. The most Inter
esting study to lilui was mankind
thai Is. after womankind? for, being
unmarried, he considered woman a tit
subject for study, although a married
friend told him he had better stick to
nebulae and let woman alone.
".Major Donaldson, tinvo you met
Miss Kenworthy?" said a lady by way
of an Introduction.
"I have not. but It gives me greot
pleasure to do so now," said tho major.
The Introducer dropped out, and the
oflieer drew a chair beside Miss Ken
worthy It was the hour of twilight
and the planet Venus was looking
down, radiant. 011 the god of day that
had sunk beneath the horizon.
"Beautiful sight." remarked th r ma
jor by way of opening the conversa
tion "Tills hour at this season Is my
favorite of all parts of the year."
"Very beautiful." Miss Kenworthy
"I Homier how tho planet happened
"'['nod for tlie goddess of love?"
"That's easily answered. Venus is
tlie ouly one of the planets that ap
pears to us to he always changing,"
I 'io major glanced suspiciously at
companion. She was looking out
upon i lie landseupo with a sober face
\ our ex | .la nation does not hold. Tlie
phases of Venus are not apparent to
'he naked eye. and the ancients had
no telescopes, i wonder If the planets
are inhabited."
" ' "'ri' ?' huninii beings on Venus
I presume the women are all Vcnuses."
Again Major Donaldson cast an In*
tcrrou illve glance at .Miss Konwortby
? is her remark Intended to be humor
"us or satirical? Her face was still

eye.
"Do you know." said the major, "that
the philosopher. Sir William Hamilton,
Miggc<:e,j t hat life may have been

the oilier planets as the wind wafts

"In the same principle. I presume,

"Vorj." the major assented thought

he asked.

"And the phi net Venus. What ba*

major, reddening
