CARS CUT OFF
YOUTH'S FOOT
Hicstcr Fisher Falls While
Crossing Hump Tracks in
Marysville Yards
MarysviUc. Pa., Apiil 15.—When
he fell in the path of a cut of cars
moving over the eastbound hump in
the local preference freight yards
of the Pennsylvania railroad this
morning about 7 o'clock while going
to work, Hiester Fisher, 17-year-old
son of Mr. and Mrs. George Fisher,
•of Valley street, had his left foot
cut off at the instep, narrowly escap
ing with his life.
Young Fisher, who had been em
ployed as a caller in the local yards,
was crossing the railroad tracks to
go to the yardmaster's office when
he hastened to cross the eastbound
hump tracks, despite the warnings
'of other railroaders., His feet caught
(on one of the rails and he fell.
He managed to draw his body and
tall except the one foot free from the
1 tracks and the cut of four cars
passed over him as he lay in the
middle of the track. He was picked
up by fellow employes and taken to
(the Harrisburg Hospital in the hos-
I pital car of the yards.

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.

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

tier a never-setting sun, twice is not
there as here.
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,
