Pickering of Harvard College Observa- tory, who Is stationed at Arequipa, Peru, ob- serving the opposition of Mars, has written as follows to Astronomt and Astrophysics, the astronomical journal published here: **‘T have previously called attention tothe important effectof ourown atmosphere in misleading judgment as to the true colors ex- hibited by the heavenly bodies. A good il- lustration of this may be obtained from a mountain summit on acloudy day. The dis- tant greens of the landscapejare at once changed to gray, either by the passing over them ofacloud shadow, or by the passing Of avery thin mist between them and the eye. Inthe former case they become darker and inthe latter lighter, but in either case the greenish hue entirely disappears. The sudden changes of color exhibited by some of the smaller areas upon the planet Mars 8re sometimes almost startling. Later as the sun cameup the color of the snow changed toa bright yellow, the rest of the disc changing in the meantime to orange. Later the seeing improved, several of the canals became visible, and the snow became as colorless as upon our. surrounding mountains. The two former effects were probably due to bad seeing, the fluctuations of our own atmosphere super-poring the colors of the surrounding regions upon the snow. We have laid it down as a rule never to rely greatly upon our color observations unless the snowcaps of the planet appear perfectly col- orless and the canal system is well defined. These conditions we find always. combined with the best seeing. For these delicate color observations it will, therefore, be seen that not only do we reyuire a telescope of the best. quality,but also the very best obtainable atmospheric conditions. In studying the smaller dark regions, such as the northwestern part of the Syrtis Major, great differences of color have been noted from night tonight,and I have colored sketches in my possession taken at different times, in which it is represented as gray, as green, as blue, as brown and evenas violet. The latter color was so extraordinary that lendeavored to make that portion of the planet appear to my eye of some other color, but it was impossible, and no other color but Violet lake could be madetomatchit. This color upon the planet has beenonly seen by me once since. The brown color above noted was undoubtedly dueto bad seeing. At one time I felt convinced that the real color of the darkest spots upon the planet was a deep biue, and this may in reality be the case, but of late, under favorable circumstances, they have appeared tometobe of an absojutely colorless gray. The most striking markingupon the planet, and that most readily seen witha small tele- scope, is the Syrtis Major or Y mark. Thisis nearly central in the sixth position of the planet. This regionin 18909 was interesting as containing the most conspicuous canals visible upon the planet, excepting the large one which terminates the Syrtis Major upon the north. At this opposition these canals are too far north to be well seen. The fourth and third regions of the planet are both un- interesting. The second position is interest- ing as showing the great southern ocean, which is nearly as conspicuous as the Syrtis Major itself. Wenow come toacurious feature of the observations, namely, the actual change in color, which, eliminating all probable sources Of error, the planet really seems to undergo. Whenthe Syrtis Major is central, beforethe autumnal equinox of the Northern hemisphere, the region to the east is seen to be more greenish than thatto the west. As the season wears on the difference in color becomes less marked and the greenish hue is confined more closely to the region bordering the Syrtis on the east. The two arms of Syrtis are not of equal breadth, the eastern arm being nearlg twice as wide as the western arm. Karly in 1890 the entire region inclosed be- tween the arms of the Syrtis Major as farasthe snowcap, was ofa brilliant green color. Eleven days before the vernal equinox of the southern hemishere, a yellow spot ap- peared atthe extreme northern point of the triangular area. As the season advanced this yellow spot increased in area till it cov- cred the whole region as far south as could be seen. This year,when first observed, this area was entirely green, but on May 9, or seventeen days before the equinox, the yel- low or perhaps reddish spot appeared inthe Same place and it will be interesting to de termine asthe season advances if this color again advances toward the pole. Changes to the east of the Syrtis Major have also been noticed by Sehiaparelli. These he ascribes to extensive foods. On June 8 there was a large greenish area visible in longitude 180, latitude 30 north, and by July 16 this spot could not be found. The large crescent-shaped area in the northern part of the planet at one time was quite dark, yet one evening It was painted green, and the ocean tothe south of it blue, the difference in color one evening being very clear. On March 22 of the present year the crescent was well shown, but was much fainter when it was again suspected of being blue, but the color coutd not be satisfactorily confirmed. The crescent now is too far north, owing to the motion of the planet, to be‘satis- factorily studied.’’ The Vrofessor thin&s the greatest danger lies trom optical lllusion.’’ Nature should be assisted to throw offimpuri- ties of the blood. @} Nothing does it so well, so safely or so promptly as Swift’s Specific.

Chief Sanitary Officer Francis to-day ad- dressed a letter to Health Commissioner Brennan, in which he calls attention to the telegraphic reports showing the spread of cholera in various European countries. He says that while it isa matter of conjecture whether St. Louis will be visited by the epli- demic it is a matter of policy to be. forearmed, so ag to battle with it in case of its appearance. The general sanitary condi- tion of the city is tairly good, the letter States, but there is considerable work to be done before it is made by any means perfect. There are some few plague spots against which vigorous measures should be taken at once. This work should be done by the sanitary division of the Street Department and the present foree ig not large enough forthe purpose. An addi- tional force of twelve men Is recommended, three of whom are to be detailed to disinfect- ing and oneto office work. The balance are to be sanitary inspectors. As to the money to meet this extra expense Mr. Francis states that the amount remain- ing from the appropriation for sanitary of- ficers would be sufficient to meet the expenses of the present force and also of the proposed additional force for a period of three months, andas the Municipal Assem- bly meets in the latter part of September, an additional appropriation could beasked forthis emergency. The Health Department should take immediate steps, however, to get matters in sh&pe fora thorough clean- ing, and then there can be no blame attached to it for delay. With this end in view Mr. Francis recommends that the Board of Health meet in consultation with the Mayor and Comptroller and the Committees on Ways and Means of both houses of the Municipal Assembly. If the recommendations are ap- proved a set of rules is asked for to guaran- tee strict discipline and thorough efficiencyjin accomplishing the work. THE DANGEROUS DISTRICTS. When seen inreference tothe letter Sant- tary Officer Francis said to a PoOsT-D1IsPaTCH ‘Yes, I think the matterof the greatest importance at the present time: St. Louls is not so safe in the event of an epi- demic as most people imagine. It is justin some portions of the city, where the people think themselves the safest, that the most favorable conditions exist to-day, for the spread of cholera, should it once make its entrance into St. Louis. The district west of Vandeventer avenue, for instance has no paved alleys and hence when servants are allowed to throw slops, manure and refuse of all kinds into them itis almost impossible to prevent the polsonous matter from seeping into the soil and making ita hot bed for the germs of disease. In the district west and south of the Old Manchester road and east of Macklin avenue, lying south of the _ rallroad tracks, there are no sewers and no water except that supplied from wells, This same condition of affairs prevails in the district north of the Fair Grounds, extending beyond Newstead avenue and between the Natural Bridge road and Florissant avenue. In these districts the out vaults are mere holes dug in the ground, and the seepage from them gets into the water of the wells and poisons them. ; DOWN TOWN WELLS. In the downtown districts the most dan- gerous are those streets lying within the boundaries of the old Twelfth dnd Four- teenth Wards, or between Eleventh street and Jefferson avenue and Wash and Mul- lanphy ,streets, and between Thirteenth street and Jefferson avenue and Mullanphy and Hebert streets. In 1885 there were 7il wells in the first district and 855 in the oth- on,” ‘*and how many are there now?’’ ‘‘Justas many, ifnot more. I sald 1885, because in that year we hada cholera scare and some $16,000 were raised by the citizens to clean certain portions of thecity. At that time we examined and located 6,640 wells. Of this number 4,473 were analyzed for chlorine gasonly. Of this latter number. 2,830 wells were found to contain more than 6 per cent of the gas, which rendered the water dangerous for drinking purposes. Some of them contained as high as 25 and 30 per cent, and these were usually found to be located in the most thickly settied portions ofthe city. Al by Tower Grove Park andthat district the percentage was from one-third,.to 2and 8 per cent, which showed there was littie or no poisonous seep- age in those localities. These wells could all be looked to later, but the matter of cleaning isof immediate importance, and should be attended to at once.’’ ‘‘Isnot the Street Commissioner engaged on that work at present?’’ ‘*Yes, but the cleaning in his department does not go far. enough. 1 know that Maj. Murphy Is anxious to have all the down-town alleys and streets cleaned and put In thor- ough condition, and I see he has acttially set to work upon it, but the cleaning I suggest Is one based on a house to house Inspection. The yards and closets and everything about the premises should be cleaned, and when | necessary disinfectants used. This' systenr can only be accomplished by experienced men, and after long and hard work, The police officers should be more active In their duty in those districts where the alleys are not paved, and arrest all per- sons caught throwing rubbish into them. A few arrests would tend greatly toward abat-— ing the nuisance,’’ In conclusion Mr. Francis said: ‘*I do not think we need be alarmed about the cholera getting to St. Louls for some time, but all large cities in the East have taken great pre- cautions and we should certainly not neglect to be prepared to meet any emergency. It would cost but very little Gompared tothe benefits to be derived.’’ CHOLERA IN 8T. LOUIS, Tife cholera first appeared in St. Louis in 1832 when the population was about eight thousand; there were reported to be about twenty deaths a day, but no record of the total number was ever kept, In 1849, "50, "51, and ’52it was never wholly absent from the city. It was brought here from New Orleans by one of the Mississippi River steamers. The deaths from cholera in 1849, as compiled from the most authentic sources, were 4,555, In 1850 there were 884; in 1851, 845; In 1852, 802, It then ceased, only to break out a in 1854, when the total numberof deaths was ,5a4. In 1866 the rava of the disease were nearly as bad as in 184. In this year 3,527 people died of cholera, and in 1867 there were o8ideaths. In 1873 there was another mild epidemic in which 392 deaths were attributed to the Asiatic plague. Since 1878 the city has been free from cholera. -. Police Oourt Cases.
