CONTEMPORARY OPINION.

THE LATEST NEWS FROM MARS
The photographs of the planet Mars
taken during the Summer at he Lowell
Observatory, in Arizona, confirm in
the clearnest manner the observations
previously made. This is all the more
gratifying because the planet is much
further from the earth this year than
1t was during the Summer of 1895
Nothing, however, has been observed
that Will aid in determining whether
or not he planet is Inhabited. Several
of the great canals on Mars are shown
to have become double, and to have
become so on or about he same date
on which the phenomenon occurred las
Summer. This seems to negative the
hypothesis that they are the work of
the inhabitants. They are too colossal
In their proportions to be manged by
any artificial force of which we have
knowledge
1t is possible-nay, probable-that
the SHOWS and frosts, which must melt
very rapidly at he poles, pour down
upon the more tropical regions in the
form of water. and form a huge lake
or basin, which is mistaken by astrono-
mers for a canal. These waters dry
up rapidly, and gradually expose in
the centre a large body Of land, leav-
ing the impression Of two canals,when
il may be only the residuum of the
flood. This may be part of a great
system of artificial irrigation, con-
/ trolled in some way at or near the
poles, which are never as cold as ouI
own Arctic regions. That it is, seems
TO be made plausible by a large mum.

THE POLAR REGION.

Like the moth, which determinedly
flies about a candle until it's life is
sacrificed, those who once become af-
flicted with the Arctic fever rarely
give up their explorations until either
their lives are sacrificed, or their re-
sources expended. Fortunately, the
latter frequently come to an end in
time to save the former from extinc-
tion. There have been enough of these
explorations to show that they can be
of no possible practical benefit to hui
manity. It is probable If the
North Pole were actually found the
conditions surrounding it would be no
different from those pertaining to the
high latitudes already discovered.
Such a thing as a northwest passage
would be impractical, even if it exist
ed, and the hope Of discovering it has
finally ceased to animate the best Of
Arctic explorers. The object of late ex-
ploration has, been of a scientific ma
ture. pure and simple, and we fail to
see the benefit to science which its dis
covery would make. The last and most
successful exploration, that is, if sue
cess depends on proximity to the pole,
was that Of DR.. Nansen. After getting
nearer 70 the pole than anyone else he
was obliged to return, and. greatly to
the surprise of his friends, declares
that he will not again attempt its dis.
covery. He seems to think he has gone
far enough in that direction and hi.
ambition is to attempt the discovery
OF the South Pole. This decision vii
be interesting to the world, as very lit
tie is known about the Antarctic re
gions.

the presence OF any sentient beings on
the planet, but, rs the conditions on
Mars are in many respects similar tc
those on this earth, and Mars is q
much older planet than this earth, the
natural and legitimate inference is
that it is peopled by sentient beings.
That there is no life of any sort on the
planet is clearly inadmissible. Mars is
probably teeming with life, and the
evolution that has gone on during the
immense period of its existence as a
planet capable Of supporting life has
prObably produced a sensible race.
such a race would not necessarily be
like the human race in its physical as
poets. The Martians may be winged.
Evolution may have proceeded in that
direction rather than on the lines pur-
sued on the earth.
The progress made by Mr.. Lowell is
very gratifying. These observations,
made year after year, bring the earth
appreciably nearer the planet, and the
time may not be far distant when the
accurate theory can be evolved of this
companion world of our own in the
realms of space.-From the Baltimore
