YARDS Increase in Freight Traffic Improves Working Condi lions on West Shore MnryxvUlr, Pa.. April 13. The re action from the recent heavy re trenchment of the Pennsylvania Rail road yard forces has set in. Orders have recently been issued for the hir ing of ten extra firemen, recenty dis charged. Some of these will report for duty within several days, while others will not go on duty for several weeks. The yard forces were recent ly increased by the addition of twenty other men in the Knola and Marys ville yards, which are pooled together. The forces in the two yards were cut to the absolute minimum during the recent heavy retrenchment, and in some instances it has been neces sary for yard firemen to report for duty twice on the same day. after only eight hours off duty. In some cases brakemen have been called to serve as firemen, it is said. Increase in freight traffic is responsible for the taking hack of some of tne men. Army Officers Guests of Hbg.

THE PLANET VENUS The planet Venus, although not yet anywhere near her greatest brilliancy, has already become. since her emergencies from behind the sun in December, the most conspicuous object In the evening sky. not excepting Jup iter. As she will henceforth, until July, continue to increase in splendor until she attains a brightness that al ways astonishes even the astronomer, however many times in his life he may have seen her return in her glory, this seems a good time to call attention to the reasons which make it more prob able that Venus should be the abode of intelligent beings, resembling ourselves in essentials, than any other of the earth's sister or brother planets. If we take seriously the suggestion that electric signals have been trans mitted as a kind of official call from some other world to ours. then. it seems to nic. Venus is the most likely source from which they could have orig inated. For many years I have con tended that it was rather to Venus than to Mars that those who were seeking for indications of the possible exis tence of extra-terrestrial life in the solar system should turn, but partly be cause of the difficulty of distinguishing the surface marking of Venus, owing apparently to the dazzling reflection from her atmosphere, and mora large ly. perhaps, because of the conclusions reached by Percival Lowell, who thought that ho had obtained evidence that Iter period of ayial rotation was virtually identical with that of her orbital revo lution. so that one of her hemispheres should be regarded as buried in perpet ual night, and. the other as burning un Life Cigarette J) The Market Review Our weekly contains several articles on securities of current market interest, including Westinghouse Elec tric Pierce-Arrow American Woolen Chile Copper Willys Overland American Interna tional Sent on roqiirNt for IIT-374 HUGHES & DIER .. . { I'hiln.

Under the impression of this belief Mr. Howell interpreted the faint and scarce markings which he thought he could make out on the planet us con firmatory of his theory that the sunlit side of Venus was a scorched desert, wliile the opposite side must be hope lessly glacial. But later studies, based upon the singular power which the spectroscope possesses of revealing motions of ap proach to recession from the earth, tend to overthrow Mr. Howell's conclusions, since they show that one edge of Venus' disk is approaching us while the op posite edge is receding, at such a speed as indicates a period of axial rotation not very greatly in excess of that of our own planet. Hut, even if it should turn out that Venus does possess the peculiarity of rotation ascribed to her by Howell, and previously by Schiaparelli, the fact would not necessarily be fatal to the hypothesis of her habitability. i am very glad to see that In an article in Mr. Harritt's "Monthly Eve ning Sky Map" l'rofessor E. K. Bar nard appears to favor the suggestion that Venus may be inhabited. Professor Barnard's words are very interesting because of the weight that attaches to 'his opinion. He says: "Just as there are untold millions of suns in space— for all the stars are suns more or less like our own—there are doubtless mul titudes of life-bearing worlds in the universe. "It would also be unwise to suppose that some of them do not support a higher lorni of intelligence than that on the earth. If we con ine oursolves to our brother worlds, though that is not in any way a necessity—possibly on Mars and probably on Venus, with Mercury very doubtful but more pro bably lifeless." One of the strong reasons for re garding Venus as habitable by forms of life, perhaps not extremiy different from those of the earth, consists in the fact that in size and other physical con ditions she closely resembles our planet The mean diameter of the earth is about 7,918 miles, while that of venus is about 7.700 miles. The force of gravity is about 15 per cent on Venus than on the earth, so that the weight of bodies on her surface is, by that amount, less than on the earth, ller mean density is rather less than nine-tenths that of the eaitth. All these things favor, as far as they go. the probability that the forms of both animal and vegtuble life would he comparable in bulk and physical con stitution with those on the earth. In addition to this. Venus possesses an abundant atmosphere. I myself saw, with a small telescope, this atmosphere displayed as a beautiful lune of light, spanning about the circumference of the planet at the sun in 1887. Several observers have announced the existence of water vapor in the atmosphere. This is indirectly indicat ed by the apparent cloudiness of Venus, for the telescope any define markings f \ Public Sale of Securities, etc. Will Hfll at public wile on Tharndaj, 17th day of April, 1910, at 2 p. m. f at the Courthouse In this city, HororitiCN belonging to the rotate of It.
