"When IYof. (ieortr,- Ilaviilson. of ti
I';iv"ulsoi olserv;i;torv ami the coast
83ul "foo letio survey, was shown the
I'aris ca'.ileyram saying thut an old
laily lunl just dietl in Spa leaving itie
humli-eil tlionsatitl f ratios as a prize to
the astronomer. 1-Tcneh or fore-yn, -who
within ten years will Ik- al o to eom

roiul it throng-h slowly once, then ho
read it twice more rapully. Final y he
iclicd it up. held it at the propi-r tli.s
tanee from his-ves, and snuiut -tl at it
.inst as he would .squint at Mercury
ihroit'rh hi.s telfNcopv if he wanted to
lind the bifj torUiise-.-,hapt'd hHt -on it.s
northern hemisphere.
."An old lady an old lady:" tlie vet
eran astronomer finally exelai ..e l.
Now, isn't that a pretty way to treat
such a piece of philanthropy as thut?
An old lady, indeed! Now, why timlcr
the sun do you suppose they keep haeli
her name? I am inclined to believ
that some (rood-look in- yoiinj man
one of tiiose smooth talUers has
h.-en ettinfj close to her and tulUing- :i
lot of astronomy into her ear.
"l'roui the veiy form her lieqnest
takes I am aware that soi;n-lnily
I lammarion or some i,t lu-r man h::s
l.-een taiUiujr to her about the proposed
triangle. 'J'he proj -et is a very curious
one, I ait can lie explained ipiit-easiiy."
Prof. Davidson picked up a L. tie. pen
cil and drew .tin a r.hite hheet tf pajK-r
a rio-htau.vrled triangle.
'This that I have dra wn." lie said,
'is the old triiinyle of Pythagoras.
That triano-le has a ri.ht :ui-l -, and
the sipiare built upon the side oppo
site t!;-.: ri-'ht anirh isetjual to the sum
of the squares built upun the other two
.-Lies. The proposil.on is sai i to hi
the f tiiidamentai one of peonie.rry. It
has leeii proposed to draw such a
liifuro as that in th desert of Sahara,
or some other great plain, the lines of
course, to le hundreds of miles lontf,
and made to they- would le ilistinct on
the desert sand One way would Vie
to plant palm trees so that the forests
should take the shape of lines in the
li;.rure. Ccrticnly the jrreen of the
palms would Ik- so hri-rut in contrast
With the white of the sand that the
drawing, wlirii completed, would le
plain .'noujrh.
"'1 hese are suppositions tlrat po
jtloaj with the idea. It Ls supposed
I hat there are people on some if the
planets, at least on Mars. It is sup
p vsed that the people on tile planet are
c.vdied and capable of looking
thr -uh telescopes, and it is con
hided that if this is so they must
ii.iow the Pythajrorean projHisit ion.
"So if the people on Mars look
;l)roiiLrh their telescopes at tbe earth
t'ny will be sure to see that enormous
.:r;-reo!i the desert, and seeincr it they
will rcahzo that t he earth is inhabited
by men of knowledge and that the
dr;.winj? is a si'naL Then, of course,
lliey will s-t to work to answer it by
buil iino; just such a lijrure on Mars.
That will b talking from star to star.
liut all this is lsh and nonsense to
mc, and I dare say it was "imisIi and
liouseiiso to the man w ho wheedled this
Frenchwoman into setting aside 10J,-fi-JO
fratn-s. Hut whoever he was he
kite-vv on which side hi bread was
buttered, ami knew that such a trust,
for whatever purpose, would liear in
terest. 'lint even supposing t hat the desert
of ahara i s one great plain, and that
it i: large enough for the purpose, and
even supposing that it was pos:ib!e to
make such an enormous figure. I am
in ioul.it whether the people on Mars,
witu such telescopes as w use. would
be able to see it.
"At certain times Mars is but "t. 000. 000
miles irom the earth, but it gets i nrlher
and further away until the distance is
01.soo.ojO miles. That is a good way
otf to see triangles, lint if Mars is in
habited. I am inclined to lielieve that
the inhabitants arc not fools. If they
saw a triangle-shaped object on the
face of the earth they would not jump
to the chimerical conclusion that there
were idiots enough down here to build
Mich un alTair.
"The truth is we do not know
whether any of the planets licsides the
earth is inhabited. We think wc know
that it might be possible for men to
live nil Mercury. The situation nnd
condition of things on the other pianets
sire altogether different from those on
the earth. So, when we talk about
the inhabitants of the planets tve
enter the realm of surmise, and Jules
Verne has a better chance than the
scientist.
"The four planets nearest the sun
are .ilercury, Venus, the earth and
Mars. Mercury is only .".:;'. .'.imi i miles
from the sun, which isn't very Kir when
you take the heat into consideration.
Consequently vtr believe it tx good
many times hotter than Arizona or
Mercury. There an- other tli.iadvau
tuges, such as lack of t-pace, enormous
mountains and no certainty of atmos
pherc Mercury is onh 3.M0 miles in
diameter, yet there are mountains on
its nirfaeeover 1 miles high.
"Venus is Oil, 1. '51.000 miles from the
un iud is plenty hot enough, although
ne. rly twice as far as Mcnairy from tho
srreut heater. Then there is s-ene
question abort the utmir phere as yrt,
and the ve;ir it onlv ",,'I dars. hmrr
"The earth comes next, being 'Jl,
4:50.000 miles from the sun. After this
planet is Mars, loll.iill.ooo miles from
the luminary.
"All astronomers a liuit that if peo
ple like those on earth live on ; i:y of
the other planets Mars is probably the
one. The reason why is easy to tell.
Although Mars is further from the sun
than the earth, his orbit is so eeeenlrie
that at certain times he is only- l'i."lS
000 miles away, consequently the tem
peratures are, likely, merely a little
more moderate than thime on the earth.
Then, tixi. the diurnal motion of the
two planets is alxiut the same, so that
from uno year's end to another the
distance from the earth to Mars varies
only from io.o.KI miles to 0!.s'mi.o:)i)
mi'es. Mars has its seasons jind its
rlar ice just like the earth.
"'Through the telescope veeuu, watch
ice fields as the poles get larger as the
winter approaches, and see them get
smaller again in the summer. Mars has
in atmosphere and clouds like those on
earth. There ar continents and oceans
on Mars, so that -altogether the analogy
Wt ween that planet nnd the earth is very
close, the striking difference bciug that
Mars is much smaller.
"Astronomers are more and more dis
posed to 1h-1 k-vc that. Mars is inhabited-
You ask me if we know, how
ever, and I promptly tell yon we do
not. An astronomer named Schiaj
parelli claims he is able to see a double
line of cauuls-ou Mars. These must Ik
enormous works if ho can see them,
and must represent a stnpendoi s
amount of -work on the part of an al
most countless mimlier of people. 1
cannot see them through my telescope,
and many others fail. After all. these
canals may 1m- in Sehiapnarelli's -eye.
People get what they call astigmatism
nowadays and see two pencils where
there is only on . Perhaps that is w hat
Schiapparclli has.
"J!ut even if there -are people on
Mars, arrd even if they have built
canals, as for talking with them." a:id
the professor repeated the statement
to make i. more positive, "as for taili
ng with them, uonsense." San Fran

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
It. Mr tllssinc Sounds Our of tlaa Oh-Htaf-tes
to Tc!rfilti!iin.
Is the Unjrlish lan-ttaR-. less adaptsd
to telephone communication than
others? Such a question is somewhat
interesting just now in view of the
fact that a 15oston inventor claims to
I e able to telephone from this cointry
to Europe over an ordinary cabin f
flciiis of the c ible companies take lit
. tie stock in his theory, however, and
bring forth many reasons for their b-e-lief
that it. is not practicable, besides
Ciis that tho English lan u is a
tlitlictill one to irunsmit over a tiais
phone wire.
A gentlrman who has been in the
tel phone business for years and w hc
holds an important position iu the local
service, said to the reporter that out
reason why English is a ba-.i telephone
language is that it abounds in hissing
sounds which are very dil'icult to
transmit over thi wire. Words l-iLe
ay, sVe, spidie, sing, etc, are very
hard to transmit and so are words co:i
a.ning the letter "e" sounded soft.
,.vi tbe mo.it expert op-rators. it is
aid. hud it uil'icuit sometitae . to un
d -rstand such words as "receive,"
"reciprocity," ctc
Another reason given is that the
English language contains a great
numlier of words of more than t iv
syllibles, some words in trdinary usi
being much longer than is the case in
oilier languages and that this inter
feres with their le:ng readily under
stood by the persons at the other end
of the wire.
"What is the easiest language for
telephoning?" was asked of one of the
superintendents of the telcpone com
pany. 'Chinese is the ideal telephoning
language." was the reply. "It is prin
cipally monosyllabic for one thing, and
it is made up of simply rising and fall
ing inflections so that it is much easier
to transmit th:in any other language 1
know of. Herman is nt as bad ,1 ln
uage for telephoning as might Ih;
t.iought by persons v. ho are not famil
iar w.th it. French is not ba.l, but it
i a,'. most ns sibilant as English, and
the 1 tench spoken in Canada is more
.VI."
According to onn pnlli'maii, w ho Is
well versed in telephoning, many peo
ple fail to make themselves understood
over the wire, lieeanse they do not un
derstand that in order to ob'.ain the
best possible results a change from the
ordinary tone of voi-. i:, reiptireiL A
;iigh falsetto is the iest ossi Ole voice;
for telephoning, and can Ih- plainly uu
dcr.itood. oven at a great distance.
That isone reason why young women

A Tree with a History.
One hundred years ago a Mr. Marr,
of Cape Elizaln-th, Me., set outn widow
slip, which grew toK-a good-sized tree.
Mr. Marr was an obliging sort of jn-r-fjn,
and he kept his grindstone one of
tho few in that vicinity under the willow-
by the roadside for the convenience,
of his neighliors. Some, of the neigh
bors were ungrateful yokels, for often,
when they had done grinding their
axes they would try the blades ujort
the sheltering tree, so that its beauty
was spoiled and its life endangered.
Then Farmer Marr drove a lot of spikes
into the trunk, covering the heads art
fully with Itark. and when the neigh
lMiring vandals had spoiled a few axes
they quit trying edges on the willow.
Marr and his iieighlmrs are all deadand
forgotten theso fifty years, but the wil
low still flonri'.hes. and thu ax mark,
are obliterated, while the protecting
spikes are grown deep in the heart of
the great trunk.

The making of the first money in the
United States Ugan in lTsO, but in
stead of the faces of representative
statesmen il bore only the ligure of
Liberty. Some few coins were stamped
with the face of W ashington, and of
course are highly valued by collectors.
The first coins struck by the Fnited
States mint were Mime half dimes in
IT'.ri; the first dimes were struck in
France from old silver family plate
furnished by Washington, t'.ie coins lie
ing known as Martha ,hingtu
dimes, from the circumstance as noted,
and an adaptation of the Lilcrty head
to that of Martha Washington.
The I'mted states mint in San Fran
cisco is said to Ih the largest of the
kind ia the worbL Tlc process of
dime making there may not Ih without
interest. The silver bullion is first
incited and run into two-pound bars
TIw.se in turn are run through im
mense rollers a nil llattcn-ed out to the
thickness of the coin. These strips are
then passed through a machine, which
ruts thorn into projier size for the
presses, the strips tir.st having bet 11
treated with a ki:i-l of t allow to pre
vent their being scratched m their passage-
through the cullers.
The silver p: -ces are then put into
the lccilcr of the printing presses and
an fed to theit.e by automatic ma
chinery at the rate of ion per minute,
4s.t),r dimes lieiug tunic I out in a
regular worl.ing day of 12 hours.
Ast.ie smoothing pieces are pressed
"lietwecii the printing dies they receive
the lettered and figured impression: at
the same time the piece is expanded ia
a slight degree rud the sma.l corrtiga
t ons are cut iu its rim. The machine
drops the completed coin into a re
ceiver and it is jnyi-ly for the counter's
hands.
The first silver dollar was et lined un
der the act tif February l-'. 1T'.J. and
weighed 410 grains antl had a fineness
oi Mii4, which slat. .'.aril was cont.nued
for many years. The first coins .truck
for America, however, are suppose ! o
have been tha Sotnmer I dan 1 shilling
an-1 sixpence. The date of coinage, place
anil circumstances under wluc.i they
were issued are unknown. The Sum

'1 h; silver tl il.ar, since the first in
troduction of the coin, has undergone
many changes all of which have had
more or less effect iu establishing a
fixed va'.tie among collectors of rare
j ns 1 he issue of 1S0-1 ljcars the pahn
in this respect, nnd has won for itsvlf
the name of "The K.ngof American
l.arlties"' Ou'.y seven or eight tif the
ls'J 1 dollars are known to be in c.xist-en-.
The "Iegenl" of the scarcity is that a
vessel Imuiid for China had on board
almost the entire coinage. .rj.-".7it, and
was lost at sea. Another theory con
cerning thin mysterious com runs as
follows: That the entire issue was
shipped to pay the Yankee tars who
fought in tlis- war with Tripoli. The
sailors dntted around after the war
closed, and many of them went to
Africa, where they spent their money.
The native k.ngs collected ull the.
coins and buried them as trophies
Perhaps Stanley might tiirow some
light 011 the last version of the lsj4
dollar.
The national motto. 'TJ p'.uribus
utiuin." on tliffercnt Fnited States
coins, was never authorize;! by law to
le so placciL Although the mint was
established in IT'J'2, the use of the mot
to on any of the gold, silver or coper
coins was not authorized or directed by
any nf the provision:; of the act -stui-lishingit.
None of the coins . since 1S57
Itorc the motto until the standard sil
ver ib 'liars were coined.
It remained on th- early gold and
silver coins until ls;. wheu it was
omitted from the gold coins. From
the double eagie in In'iO it was also
tuuitted. Iu ls: it was dropped from
the '-.'Vcent p;c.:e and the following
year from all silver coins the trade
dollar o-ily reviving its use. The mot
to was lir.t used on a half-penny or
cent struck in New Jersey in 17s-7.
The motto "In tiod We Trust" has a
curious hit:ry. Fntd lsrtt 110 religious
mot io appeared on American coins Iu
Novcmlicr. l'l. a clergyman addressed
a letter to Mr. Chase, th-j secretary tif
tin- treiisury. suggesting a recognition
of the Deity on the coins This letter
was referred to .lames Pollock, an c.x
g ivenior of Pennsyi vani.i and director
of the mint at the time, hut it was
found that tho mottoes could not be
changed without authority of l:iw.
In December, IS.iti. the director sub
mitted plans for a new three-cent, two
cent arid one-cent piece, on which it
was proposed that one of the: f jllowi ng
mottoes be inserted: "Oar Country. Our
!," ";1. Our Trust." Mr. Chase
suggested in lieu of these mottoes the
one "lu tlo 1 We. Trust. It was upon
the tvto-eetit piece authorized April
lsH since abolished I, the motto of
Secretary Chase lir.st appeared
It was also stamied tin the lstVI issue
of the double; eagle, eagle, half eagle,
silver dollar, half dollar and nickel five
cent piece in lieu of the long standing
motto--!. Pluribus I'num."' In the
trade dollar issue (IS7:5) both uvjttoes
were retained, "In Uod We Trust" ap
Icariug ui tlui obverse.
This is a pipular t Ia prevalent that

for the perfection of tho design, but
such was Titit the case.
Kegarding the dollar mark writers
are not agreed as to the derivation of
this sign to represent the won! dollar
or dollars Some contend that it co-.nes
from the letters l and S. which, after
the adoption of the federal constitution.
Were preli;,.-d to the currency of the
new Fnited States and which after
ward, in the hurry of writing, wero
run into each other, the I.' ln-iiig made
lirst and the S over it
Others say that the con'raction is
from the Spanish p ;sos dollars; othcrs
still believe it to lie derived from the
Spanish word fuertes ineanirg hard,
so called to des gnate silver aud gol.l
from imper tir soft money. The more
plausible explanation of the puzzle is
this: That it is a mollification of the
ligure S, and that the character, as we
mark it. denotes that we are speaking,
tir writing, tif a sum tif money equal to
eight reals; or, as the dollar was former
ly called a piece of eight.
In tbe early history of the dollar,
when every liody knew it as apiece til
eight, writers who hal occasion to
mention it in their articles did so by
