Is MARS INHABITED?

We find, in the first place, that the
broad physical conditions of the planet
are not antagoniStic to some form cf life;
secondly, that there is an apparent dearth
OF wates upon the planets surface, and
therefore, if beings of sufficient intelli-
gence inhabit it, they would have to re-
sort to irrigation to support life; thirdly,
that there turns out to be a network of
markings covering the disc precisely
counterpartlng what a system of irriga-
ton would look like; and, lastly, that
there is set of spots placed where we
should expect to find the lands thus arti-
ficially fertilized, and behaving as such
constructed Oases should All this, of
course, may be set of condolences, sig
nifying nothing; but the probability seems
the other way. As to the details of ex-
PLANTATION, any we may adopt will un-
doubtedly be found, on close acquaintance
to vary from the actual Martian state of
things; for any Martain life must differ
markedly from our own.
To talk of Martan beings is not to
mean Martian men. Just as the proba-
bilities point tie the one, so do they point
away from the other Even on this earth
man is of the nature of an accident He
is the survival of by no means the highest
physical organism, He is not even a high
form of mammal Mind has been his
making. For aught we can see, some Ii
zard o. batrachian might just as well have
popped into his place in the race and
been now the dominant creature of this
earth. Under different physical circum-
stances he would have been certain to do
SO. Amid the physical surroundings that
exist on Mars, we may be practically sure
other organisms have been evolved which
would strike us as exquistely grotesque
What manner of beings they may be we
have no data to conceive
How diverse, however, they doubtless
are from us will appear from such definite
deduction as we are able to make from
the physical differences between Mars and
our earth. For example, the mere diff
ference of gravity on the surface of the
two planets is much more ar-reachine in
its effects than might at first be thought
Gravity on the surface of Mars is only
little more than one third what it is on the
surface of the earth. This would work
i'll two ways to very different conditions
of existence from those to which we are
accustomed. To begin with, three times
as much work, as for example in digging
canal, could be done by the same ex-
penditure of muscular force If we were
transported to Mars, we should be pleas
ingly surprised to find all our manual Ia
Dor svddcnly lightened three-fold But,
indirectly, there might result yet greater
gain to our capabilities for if nature
chose, she could afford there to build her
inhabitants on three times the scale she
does on earth, without their ever finding
it out except by interplanetary compari-
son.

HOME AND ABROAD,

1t is the duty of everyone, whether at
home or travelling for pleasure or bust

which will keep up strength and prevent
| illness, and cure such ills as are liable to
| come upon all in everyday life For in
stance, Hoods Sarsaparilla as general
| tonic, and to keep the blood pure and less
| liable to absorb the germs of disease, will
| be well nigh invaluable. Change of drink
| ing water often causes serious trouble es-
| pecially if one has has been used to spring

to a teaspoonful of Hoods Sarsaparila
in a tumbler of water will prevent the
water having any injurious effect.
