MARS in OPPOSITION.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE !.



Prof Upton and Friends Look at Mars
Through the Telescope.
The telescope at Ladd Observatory was
turned toward Mars last night, but not
for the purpose of any definite observa-
tions. Prof. Upton OF Brown University,
who has been at Oakland Beach. came
home last night. and with q party OF
friends observed the planet through the
telescope at Ladd Observatory.
The colors were very prominent and the
polar caps were well marked. Further
than this no results were obtained. The
observations were made during the first
part OF the evening only and not later,
when the conditions were more favorable.
Prof. Upton says that 1t Is mistake
for the papers to give such prominence to
the observations OF last night. While at
that time Mars was at it's nearest point
to the earth, yet for the whole month OF
August observations may be made with
just as good results, as the planet will
not move away fast enough to make any
practical difference.
