The New Haven papers had from one to two column reports of the action of the .Grand Lodge in its last week’s session at which by a, vote of over a hundred of his fellow Masons he was expelled from the order: The Gs- znrrr: in its less than a half column re- port eliminated all that“ could be deemed in any sense, unnecessarily painful to Mr. Maples or his friends, giving only the briefest outlines of. the Grand Lodge’s action. Yet he could not refrain “jumping upon” us in his usual forcible feeble style as if in some way the Gsznnrn were responsible for this last and crowning humiliation of his life. We were once goaded into expressing our views of the foibles and vicious propensities of our neigh- bor, with some vigor and elaboration and would be glad to have done with it. It is no pleasure to us to be bantered into constant counter assaults upon a reputation already so notoriously bat- tered ; and why will not this constant aggressor call a halt upon his besetting propensity of pouring out his unbrid- led rhetoric of the slums, upon any one whom he chances to dislike ? Is it in verification of the old adage that “merit always excites the enmity of the depraved.” No 'man has received more correction for this vice or profi- ted less by it. Can it be that he has gotten so calloused by the constant indulgence in his besetting sin of veno- mous slander, that he has become insensible to the scorn and hatred of his fellow men ? Is it not enough that throughout all newspaperdom and how in all Masonic circles, his very name implies everything mean, cruel, false and contemptible? And now with this last additional load of public scorn, why has he not the sense to seek in silence, a rescue from what to others would be a crushing burden of self-inflicted odium? He is ill; by his intemperate abuse of the ofiicers of a society he had most solemnly sworn to respect and obey, he 'is ejected as unfit for their further association. His condition is such as to excite the pity of all gener- ous, human hearts. Why will he not shut the flood gates of this violent and obstinate vilification of his betters, and by keeping silence, deserve at least, the sympathy and kind feeling of great numbers, who with the GAZETTE, be- lieve that “forgiveness is the revenge of magnaminous minds.” This is his true way to safety and repair to his damaged honor. ‘His Blood Turned ‘wt hite. James Mullen, of Louisville, Ky.. bled to death recently as the. result of a strange malady which has for months bafifled the skill of the physicrans, says the“New Orleans Picayune. His blood lost all its coagulative properties and had taken on the appearance and consistence of fresh milk. " ~ The corpuscles of the blood had become perfectly white. From a small scratch or cut . the blood flowed with such rapidity that "on several occasions it was scarcely able to be stopped before causing death. One morning one of the smallest of the blood vessels under the tongue became broken. The point where the blood came from was so small that no danger was apprehended at all. All efforts, however, to, stop the flow were futile. Evéry remedy was resorted to, but to no avail, and in little less than an hour Mr. Mullen bled to death. A Queer Library. A curious collection of books is con- tained in the library of Warstenstein, near Cassel, in Germany. The books appear at first sight to be logs of wood. but each volume is really a complete history of the tree it represents. The back shows the bark, in which a small place is cut to write the scientific and common name as a title. One side shows the tree trunk in its natural state, and the other is polished and varnished. Inside are shown the leaves, fruit, fibre and insect parasites, to which is added a full description of the tree and its products—The Million. 3, card . * Soap The skin ougfit to be clear; there is nothing strange in a beautiful face.‘ If we wash with proper: soap, the skin will be open: and clear, unless the. health is bad.

Some Speculations ha Regardmto the People—Their Size as Compared to Those of Enrth—Rensons- for Build- lasg the Can-ll. Mars weighs but one-ninth of what the earth weighs, and, therefore, objects of a given mass weigh here nine times as much as. they would weigh if taken to Mars, says the Baltimore Sun. For ex- ample, our standard silver dollar of 412 1-2 grains would weigh but 45.8 grains in’ Mars/and would doubtless be refused by the ‘Martians if tendered in payment of debts, public or private. It follows, however, from the lesser power of the force of gravitation in Mars that it is a paradise for fat men. The reason the elderly person gets tired sooner than the small boy is not that the muscles of his legs are inferior, but that they have more to carry. The fat person here has as powerful muscles as he had when lean, but they have a greater weight to bear and they tire under it. In Mars it .is difierent. There our stout person of 300 pounds would weigh but 33 1-3,legs and all, so that he could trip along with his present muscles as lightly as a. kitten. Even “ the fat lady ” of the museum could easily do her twenty miles a day and not, feel it. Agility, we may assume, with vivacity as its accompanying virtue, is a char- acteristic of the people of Mars. Doubt- less the Martians, owing to the light bur- den on their legs, grow taller than we do, and are larger and more powerful in every way. Weight restricts develop— ment. The strength of muscle and bone may be exceeded if an animal exceeds a. certain size. In the sea the whale grows larger than any terrestrial creature because the water bears him up. Like the bicyclist, he has only to propel himself by mov- ing his legs—that is to say, his fins. If man lived in the sea he might grow much larger than he does. In Mars he could, with the same strength of- muscle and bone, grow nine times as large as he does here. A man fifty-four feet in height, with a corresponding develop- ment in other directions, would be a powerful animal. He would be capable of doing an incredible amount of work per day. Citizens. of 'such proportions might very well undertake the colossa.1 cenals with which the surface of Mars is so strikingly marked. These canals signalize the astonishing strength and energy of the Martians. They are supposed to point also to a. pathetic necessity. Their planet, weak ingravity, is weakening nowv in all the natural forces. Its heat is rapidly de- parting. Its crust is cooling, and as it cools its strata, like those of our moon, absorb the water of its oceans. The astronomers of Mars foresee a coming time when all the water and atmosphere of their planet will disappear, being ab- sorbed, as in the case of our moon, by the chilled material of its interior. They have dug their canals in large part, 'it is believed, to bring the water of their shrinking oceans to their famished lands. Originally undertaken, perhaps, as water- ways, these canals are supposed to be now vastly deepeiied channels for the conveyance of the water required for irrigation and drinking purposes. The extent ' and extreme width of the excavations staggers belief, but it will be remembered that Mars is much older than the earth and that now with the Martians it is now dig or die. So they dig, and they dig double lines. They parallel every waterway,'possibly to avert the. calamity of want of water over their vast continental areas in case one of the canals should get stopped _up by a landslide. It has been doubted whether the canals of Mars are really double, but the astronomers of the Lick Observatory say they observed them on the night of August 17 with their incom- parable telescope, and testify that they are “. distinctly double.” They add that they are “perfectly straight lines pass- ing through the continents from sea to sea.” As a. canal in Mars would have to be twenty miles wide ti) be visible with our best telescopes, it is evident that the Martians must have given much atten- tion to engineering“. There is no evidence that they have used steam or elec- tricity for transportation or for indus4 trial purposes. Being under the neces- sity of having a large water supply, itvis possible that ' they have not found it to pay to use powers other than water power. Besides a land much intersected by canals of vast width and depth could not well develop an extensive railway system. \Vithout coal—there is no evi- dence that Mars had, a carboniferous period—the manufacture of steam en- gines could make but little progress. Why He Didn’t Accept. He was a business man of more than ordinary prominence. He is still. Several fellow-citizens, also prominent, asked him to accept a. bank presidency with a $5,000 salary attachment and nothing to do. There was but one condition—he must cease to play poker. , “ Gentlemen,’.’ said he, “I appreciate the honor you would do me, but I must decline. The disparity between the salary you ofler and the amounp I can rake in at poker is too great.” And another man presides over the financial institution that sought his ser; vices—Washington Star. New Use for Sing. The quantity of heat wasted by slag has suggested projects for utilizing it in raising steam, but nothing practical has been attained until recently. At a mine in New South Wales the molten Slag is run into the bottoms of iron chambers that can withstand internal steam pres- sure, and jets cf water are forced on the slag. _ In a short time the chambers are - filled with steam that Can be utilized in other parts of _ the 'w‘orks.—Pittsburg Dispatch. ‘ ~ ' .
