will He is trying to prove whether there

the use of a method entirely his own.
This will at once recall his signal sue

that by the use of his own method, or
rather by new application of an old
method, he year or two ago succeeded
in proving conclusively that Saturn's
rings are not solid, but composed of in
Vulnerable small particles-a fact previ-
ousiy known only by inference, although
the astronomers of two centuries had
tried vainly to establish it by scientific
process. Professor Keeler's results have
been amply verified at foreign observa-
tories. and add considerably to his world
wide fame, as well as giving additional
confidence in the success of his present
undertaking with Mars.
The presence of an atmosphere is, of
course, a question of prime i'm portance in
deciding whether planet is or is not in

tirely true in Mars, but from our stand
point it seems most probable. And as

there is none. But his Investigations that
led him to this opinion have all been

the Photographic method with the spec
troscope, and thinks its results will be
much more reliable, as the photograph
shows hundreds of lines in the spectrum
