additional life means an nthled tax upon
the community Into which It Is thrown.
By careful selection they rear only the
hardiest specimens of each species, and
with almost supernatural foresight they
regulate tho birth rate to merely offset
the loss by death,
Each adult Martlnn female brings forth
nbout 13 eggs each year, nnd thoso which

by a council of 20 chieftains and all but
nbout 100 of the most perfect are
dostroyed out of each yenrly supply.
At the end of five yenrs nbout COO al
most perfect eggs have been chosen from
the thousands brought forth. These are
then placed In tho almost alr-tlght Incuba

If the remaining eggi ever hatched wo
knew nothing of tho fato of tho llttlo

offspring might Inherit and transmit tho
' tendency to prolonged Incubation, and thus
upset tho system which hns maintained
for nges and which permits the adult Mar
tians to flguro tho proper time for return
to tho Incubators nlmost to an hour.
Tho Incubators aro built In t emote fast

I was Inter to witness the outcome of

Tho community of which tho green Mar
tians with whom my lot wns cast formed
a part wns composed of some 30,000 souls.
They ronmed nn enormous tract of arid
and scmlarid land between 40 nnd 80 de
grees south latitude, nnd bounded on tho
east and west by two large fertile tracts.

corner of this district near tho crossing of
two of the so-called Martian canals
As the Incubator had been placed far
notth of their own territory In n supposed
ly unlnbnbltnted nnd untretiuentcd nrea,
we had before us n tremendous Journey,
concerning which I, of course, knew noth
ing. After our return to the dead city I
passed several days In comparative Idle
ness. On the day following our return all
the wnrrlors had ridden forth early In the
morning nnd lnd not returned until Just
before darkness fell.
As I Inter learned, they had been to the
subterranean vaults In which tho eggs
were kept, and had transported them to
the Incubator, which they had then wulled
up for another five years, and which. In
nil probability, would not bo visited again
during that period.
Tho vaults which hid the eggs until
they were ready for the Incubator wero
located many miles south of tho former,
nnd would be visited yearly by tho coun
cil "f 20 chieftains.
Why did they not.nrmrigo to build their
vaults nnd Incubators nearer homo has
always been a mystery to me, nnd. like
many other Martian mysteries, unsolved
nnd unsolvable by tho light of earthly
reasoning and customs.

Tho good fellow was reading "The liug

"I guess I will hnve to go shopping,"
nnnounced Mrs. Potntn
This so stnrtled her husband thnt his
ghiHios dropped olT. IIo hastily put his
band In his pocket and turned It insldo
out. "There!" ho exclaimed. "Thero Is
all tho money I have. Take It nnd do not

"All right," said Mrs. Potato Bug. "I
will not say nnother word.
All wns uulet for a time Mister Po
tato Bug wns so excited rending how tho
I.ady Bug nlmost chenped denth thnt ha
forgot nil about his good wife nnd her
shopping expedition.
By and by Mrs. Potato Mug said: "I
guess I will get n blue dress for Faith, a
pink one for Hope nnd n red nnd white
one for Charity. Do you think they ought
to be made from the sanio pattern?"
Mister Potato Bug looked up In sur
prise. "No." ho said, "I think they ought
to hnve striped vests."
"But girls do not have vests." said Mrs.
Potato Bug.
"You asked me a question nnd I an
swered It. If you don't like my ndvlco.
please don't nsk mo ngalu. I am very
busy nnd you said you would not say an
other word and you have said about llvo

"Oh. LOOK!" exclaimed Mrs. Potato
Bug.
"Where's the fire?" asked Mister Po
tato Bug, Jumping up lu such n hurry he
pulled tho table cloth off tho table.
"There Is no fire, but I saw the DEAR
EST little pattern for Hope's dress right
on tho llrst page of 'The Hugvlllo News.'
Let me tee It."
"Dear, dearer, dearest. I guess all

DEAR. I wish ou would let me alone.
I thought you were going shopping."
"I am," said Mrs. Potato Bug, as the

less than three minutes, tho entire caval
cade of chariots, mastodons nnd mounted
warriors was nowhere to be seen.
Sola nnd I had entered a building upon
the front of tho city, In fact, the same ona
In which 1 hnd hnd my encounter with the
npes, nnd. wishing to sec whnt had caused
tho sudden retreat, I mounted to nn upper
Moor nnd peered from the window out over
the vnlloy nnd the hills beyond ; nnd there
I saw It, the cnuse of their sudden scur
rying to cover.
A huge craft, long, low nnd grny
painted, swung slowly over tho crest of
the nenrest hill. Following 11 enmo nn
other, nnd another, nnd nnother, until 20
of them, swinging low above the ground,
sailed slowly nnd mnjestlcnlly toward us.
Each carried n strnnge banner swung
from stem to stern aboo tho tipper works,
nnd upon the prow of ench wns painted
some oild device that gleamed In the sun
light and showed plainly even at tho dis
tance nt which we werp from tho vessels t
could sec figures crowding tho forward
decks nnd upper works of the nlrcrnft.
Whether they had discovered us or sim
ply were looking nt the deserted city I
could not sny, but In nny event, they re
ceived a rude reception, for suddenly nnd
without warning the green Mnrtlan war
riors Hred n lerrlllr volley from tho win
dows of the buildings fncing tho little val
ley across which the great ships wero so
peacefully ndvnnclng.
Instantly the scene changed ns by
magic ; the foremost vessel swung brond
sldo toward us nnd, bringing her guns into
plav. returned our lire, at tho same time
moving parallel to our front for n short
dl8lnnce nnd then turning back with tho
evident Intention of completing n groat
circle which would bring her up to posi
tion once more opposite our Mrlng lino.
The other vessels followed In her wake,
each one opening upon us ns she swung
Into position
Our own llro never diminished, nnd I
doubt If 25 per cent, of our shots went
wild
It hnd never been Klven me to see such
deadly nccurncy of aim, and It seemed ns
though u little figure on one of the crnft
dropped nt the explosion nf each bullet,
while tho banners nnd upper works dis
solved In spin tn of llatiie ns the piojectlles
of our wnrrlors mowed through them.
Tho lire from the vessels was most In
effectual, owing, nB I afterward lenrned,
to tho unexpected suddenness of the first
olley which caught I ho ship's crew en
'tlrely unprepared nnd the sighting appara
tus of the gun3 unprotected from tho
deadly nlm of our wnrrlors
It seems thnt each green warrior has
certain objective points for his llro under
relatively Identical circumstances of war
fare. For example, a proportion of them,
always tho best matksmen. direct their
fire entirely upon tho wireless finding nnd
sighting apparntus of the big guns nf nn
attacking naval force ; another detail at
tends to the smaller guns In tho same
wny ; others pick oft the gunners ; still
others the nlllcers : while certain other
i quotas concentrate their r.ttontlon upon
the other members of tho crew, upon tho
upper works, nnd upon tho steering gnr
nnd propellers.
Twenty minutes lifter the first volley tho
great lleet swung, trailing oft In the direc
tion from which they had llrst appeared.
BEHOLD THE SPRING MAID!
SHE'S A REAL WATTEAU LADY
Scarcity of Fine Materials The War, of Course
Has Frightened Her a Bit, But Mohair and
Grandmother's Alpaca Are Still Left
Long hefnrp the spring blossoms) hegnn
to poko their tiny noses above the soil, tho
spring costume had evidenced Itself. To
B.iy spring costumo Ik perhaps un erron
eous statement. Ono should plurnllze
costumes, then, for such a bewildering
variety, such a maddening pot-pourri Im
pressed Itself upon that thnt tho woman
who wished to bo binart without being
weird or bizarre und this IS n char
acteristic ilcslro of the Philadelphia
woman was In a quandary ns to Just
what uho ought to buy.
But now that Knster Is almost upon us,
the styles Invo become stabilized.
The modes nre still varied. It is true, but
It's tho variety of art tho Intermingling
of colors that makes up n rainbow, pro
ducing a sort of prismatic effect of delicate
tints nnd pastel symphonies.
If ono can fusten tho fnshlon to any
particular artist, nnd ono usually can,
Wntleuu Is tho man. Kntranclng thop
hcrdess frocks of beautiful molro and
faille, to say nothing of the charming
Dresden patterns, maUo tho modern wom
an look as though sho had i.tcppcd down
from one of tho canvasses of the famous
French painter.
Fragility, both of txturo and of color.
Is tho keynoto of the season's evening
gowns. Tho bnscpio tightly fitted, hut not
nipped In, occupies a prominent place In
tho modes, although there are many other
dlstlnctlvo features, Mich as the graceful
capoH of embroidered, beaded, or passe
menterie. Skirts, however, continue to bo
full, most of them measuring flvo Inches
from the ground. Tho latter la a relief
from the exaggerated shortness of last
winter's frocks.
Foulard Is one of the newer fabrics for
evening and afternoon wear. It Is lu line
with the revivals which have been crop
ping up so regularly, nrocades nnd shot
silks nre also good. Gold and silver
worked hllks come In every Imaginable
shade. Tho blues nro smart, two new
shades nre named nzuro nnd Wedgwood.
They nre particularly handsome In faille.
Another rather Interesting note Is tho ro
turn of long sleeves. These nre made of
tulle, chiffon or any transparent material,
and aro Uhually shirred the full length of
tho arm, with a pointed, fanllko cuff fall
ing giacefully over tho hand.
One has to get used to tho effect of the
hhort. full skirt with a long court train In
back. This Inconslhtency Is to be been til
many Bmart evening gowns These trains
develop from a panel at the back, falling
from the shoulders, und trail for two or
three feet behind like a peacock's tail.
Scarcity of materials, especially woolen
goods, is considered a calamity over here.
But the materials which the thrifty French
are using to keep themselves clothed Indi
cate as clearly as tho wounded men tho
full horrors of war. Woolens are not at
a premium they Just can't be had. All
kinds of substitutions have been resorted
to. the most common of them the alpacas,
mohairs and such materials, which we as
sociate with the costumes of our grand
mothers. On afternoon gowns bouffant lines are
less bouffant. Paris favors rather stiff
materials, and the result Is a rage for
alpaca, mohair and Blmllar fabrics for
suits and house frocks.
Novel effects have been Introduced. For
Instance, there Is the new shallow collar
line, drawn straight against the base of
the neck at the front and back, and point
ed on the shoulders. A bias band of white
organdie or tulle Is used to outline this on
dark gowns especially and Is made wide
enough to reach to the chin.
And there.are pockets on tailored frocks,
feature heart-shaped pockets ornamented
with Btrlps of black patent or light colored
leathers, embroidered with colored silks or
beads and then set on the material
Coat suits feature the draped collar. This
rls.es quite high at the back In a sort of
capuchin cape outline, terminating in a
shawl or wide reveres at the front, Pip
ings on skirt, collar and cuffs In shades
of beige, tan and mustard are noticeable.
Qabardlne, serge, alpaca and mohair are
the favored materials, but the demand for
these is so great that less desirable ma
terlals will by force of necessity come to
the front.
Three-piece suits have come Into their
own again. X blouse of tulle, chiffon or
georgette matches In color the tallleur
and U embroidered with strands of metal
lic thread.
