them. 1t seems impossible to
regard them as the work of
men, because of their magni-
tude and the rapidity with
which they sprang into exist
ence. No men, it was thought,
could dig so fast. But as Mr.
Lowell sees it, a solution of the
puzzle is ready. The markings
which we call canals, he holds,
are not the trenches themselves,
but the breads belts of vegita-
ton which spring up and again
fade away, along the borders
of the vast irrigating bitches
which the men of Mars have
built.
This is the basis of Mr.. Low
ellis message regarding Mars.
The canals may have been built
years ago; they certainly are
not dug year by year as they
seem to be; and it is the recur-
re ce of vegetation, season after
season, which brings the ma, kiLge
of these fertile b. Its viii in the vision

1t may be said that this is fanci-

facts at least do not contradict the
belief which Mr. Lowells holds.

MEN WHO ARE
19 FEET TALL,
SIR. Lowell's Idea of the People
on Mars.

Percival Lowell has complet-
ed a series of lectures in the
Lowell Institute course which
are full of food for thought and
of inspiration for fancy, says
the Boston Post" In these lee
lures he told his audiences what
he as seen through his telescope
on the planet Mars. and what
opinions he had formed from
what lie saw. Mr.. Lowell has
had opportunities for making
acquaintance with our neigh
boring planet equaled by few
men on this earth. lie has es-
tablished. and maintains, at his
own expense and for his per
sonal use, an astronomical OBJ
servatory at Flagstaff Arizona,
at an elevation and in a section
where the elearness of the at
mosphere and other favorable
conditions offer great advant-
ages for observation. And
there be has scrutinized Mars
during the recent approach of
that planet to the earth.
What Mr.. Lowell has gained
from these observations is a
clear conviction that the planet
Mars is inhabited. And not on
ly this, but he reasons from
what he has seen that the men
of Mars are far advanced, at
least in some respects, beyond
the present development of the
human race upon the earth.
Without attempting to follow
Mr.. Lowell through the very
interesting account of his oh
servations ana the deductions
which he draws from them, his
explanation of the phenomenon
known as the canals" may
be mentioned as an example.
