THE CANALS OF MARS. Miss M. A. ORg, in Knowledge,

The physical condition of Mars is a problemi over which discussion still rages with unabated vigour. While Mr. Lowell sees in the Martian "Canals".a vast system of artificial irrigation, and M. du Ligondès geological fissures, through which rise to the frozen surface vivifying vapoura from a still heater interior, M. Antoniadi ascribes their doubling to a defect in focussing, and others disbelieve in even their single existence,

remembered that in-a-bird's-eye It must be view of a world some lofty millions of miles away, all we can take note of are contrasts in tene and colour, while the real contour of objects is masked or invisible. Small or faintly shaded objects, invisible singly, will produce an, chick, clou nabiiy of que

mass, and, from our to

the irregularity of their grouping, will appear as round spots or long streaks. But conditions of seeing vary enormously on Mars, according to its distance and position and the changing illumination of its 'disc, not to speak of varia- tions in ourselves, our atmosphere, and our instruments. The contrasts, therefore, will vary; more detail will sometimes be seen in the patches and streaks; fainter markings at their edges will appear and their autline and extent disappear, altering hazy aspect of Schiaparelli's canals may thus be a nearer proximation to reality than the sharply defined and the doubling may be due to disappearance of faint shading between more easily grasped boundaries. That the canals were discovered "after the opposition of 1877, being only sus

spected during the most favourable period; that they are sharpest with coloured screens and comparatively small apertures, while in the great Lick and Washington telescopes they have been seen either as few diffused markings, or not at all, suggest that the fine lines are simply mode under which faint markings may pre sent themselves to, imperfect vision. There is undoubtedly truth in the apparent paradox that greater distinctness comes with poorer vision, for in the best moments the eye dimly persives, even where it cannot grasp, divisions in simple masses, curves and blurring in nar- row lines, indeterminate shadows in clear

spaces.a

The artificial origin of the Martian "canals" can hardly be maintained now that they have been seen to traverse the Polar caps, and lo appear in Venus, Mercury, and two of the Jovian satellites. On the optical hypothesis. on the other hand, this precisely what we might expect. It is, perhaps, going too far to suggest that the bands of Jupiter and their varying appearances, are strictly analogous to canals, since their atmospheric origin is rep dered probable by other considerations, notably by the planets low density; yet there is cer tainly a startling resemblance between tome early drawings of Mars and recent diagrams of Jupiter. Schröter's Mars, for instance, on page 77, fig. 48, of" La Planète Mars "(1892 edition), temps one to quote Daale ;--

Such would Jare become, if he and Mars Were birds, and changed their plamage.

VENTILATION.

The necessity for good ventilation is appa tent lo every one (says the writer of an article on "Healthy Dwellinge" in the Building World). All know that gas as it is warmed expands, and therefore becomes lighter, and that as it cools it contracts and becomes heavier. Similarly, the carbonic acid that is breathed out from the lungs, being lighter than the air, rises to the ceiling. This can easily be tested in a room by climbing the stops of ladder to the height of the ceiling, or by sitting in the galleries ofchurches and theatres, where the air is perceptibly more foul and injurious than on the ground floor. The first question in ventilation, therefore, how to get rid of this carbonic-acid gas while it is warm

Fail. and light and close to the ceiling. ing this timely removal, the carbonic acid gas cools, becomes heavier, and gradually descends to the floor-level, where it lies, just as it often lies at the bottom of old wells or old vats, as a stratum of poison, which accasionally kill the men who descend into them. The air of an inhabited room must be continually removed and changed. Each person requires about 3,000 cubic feet of air to breathe per hour; so, if a person sits in a room for seven hours at night he required 21,000 cubic feet of air. If the air in the room were not changed, the dimensions of the room, in order that it might be occupied with due regard to the health of the occupant, would have to provide for 21,000 cubic feet of air; and, as it is not posible for every one to have a room of that size, it becomes necessary have the air in the room frequently changed. Then comes the question of how often can it be changed, for it must be changed without producing a draught or current; the wind would soon change the air if the windows and doors were left open. The air finds its way through most of the materials of which our houses are built, except when they are plastered over outside, but it cannot be depended upon as a ventilating agency. The means of escape for warm air by the chimney, in which, if the chimney is properly constricted, there should be an up draught. The way to provide for an inlet of cold kir without producing draughts is to give it upward direction on entering the room. "It has been remarked, with somewhat grim, hu- mour, that it was as necessary to lay on air to. houres as water, and that by other means than soilpipes, which in nine cases out of ten were the only pipes that admitted air when the doors and windows were closed.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY,

THERAPION

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines, all the desiderata to be sought in a medicite of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherta employed.

THERAPION No. 1, in a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, effectually superseding injections, the use of which does, irreparable ham by laying, the foundation of stricture and other serious dis eases. In dysentery," piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and some of the more trying complaints of this, kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious, affording prompt relief where other wall-tried' remedies have been powerless.

THERAPION No. 2, for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp tomis, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the suflarer's teeth and ruin. of health. This preparation purifies the whole system through the blood, and throughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the. body.
