Three years after the marriage Of the Rev.

started to visit a sister of Mrs. Winter Nv

the way on horseback. but Mrs Winter be-
came SO fatigued that Mr.. Winter sold one

axes to clear the road. Several times the

What We Know About Mars,


We know that the years of Mars almost
twice as long as ours. are composed of $50
days. twenty-three hours. thirty minutes
and forty-one seconds, and surely nothing
need be more precise. We know also that
the duration Of a day and night or, to
speak more exactly. that Of the diurnal ro-
tation. is twenty-four hours. thirty seven
minutes. twenty-five seconds and sixty
five hundredths of a second. We know
further that since the inclination of its
axis of rotation is twenty-four degrees
sensibly of the same Intensity as upon our
planet. Besides. with our own eyes We see
the polar SHOWS melt during the summer
and reappear in the winter
Furthermore, We know very exactly the
geography of this neighboring globe and In
this respect there is hardly any more mys-
terry for us than In its calendar We have
Observations and detailed dra wings of its
continents. its seas. its streams fits islands.
Its capes. the mouths of its great rivers
and Its canals-there is not, one might say,
single point upon the surface of Mars
which has not been the object of perpetual
study on the part OF various Observers
Still further, we know also the density of
this globe as well as the intensity of grayi-
ty upon its surface. and these are two
dominating elements in the organization of
Its living residents. The whole globe of
Mars. which has a diameter of about half
that of the earth (52S thousandths-G72 S
hhoHeteIS. OF 7.-Sl mlleSD, weighs only 1OS
thousandths Of cur globe or 625, 5S4 quin-
tilltons of Kilograms. The density OF the
materials which compose Mars is inferior
10 that of the substances which compose
the EARTH In the proportion of III to 1000
If We compare this density with that of
water, for example, We find that the mean
density OF the earth is five and a half times
(5.J0) greater than that of water, or in
other words. our globe weighs five and q
half times much as a globe OF water OF
the same dimensions. But Mars weighs not
quite four times G.9D as much as a globe
Of water OF its dimensions. Its component
substances are. then less dense than ours.
Once more. gravity there is much less
powerful than upon the earth, in the pro-
portion of 316 to loo: that is to say, that
a mass of 1000 pounds transported to Mars
and there weighed by a spring balance
would weigh only 3T6 pounds. and that q
man weighing 100 pounds upon the earth
would weigh only sixty pounds upon the
surface Of the neighboring globe. Here we
have absolute data. demonstrated mathe-
matically and indisputable-dat with
which Imagination has nothing whatever
to do.
