Camille Flammarion Thinks the
Luminous Projections Are
Mere Atmospheric
Phenomena.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
Paris, Jan. 5.-(CopyTislt. 1891. by W. Il.
Fearst) The Astronomical Society OF
France will meet on Wednesday 10 discuss
the alleged Mars signaling, when Camille
1Tlammarion will deliver an address Flam-
marion gives the following synopsis Of his
remarks:
Il do not think these are signals made to
ns by the inhabitants OF Mars: they are at
,nospheric phenomena. II The Inhabitants
of Mars had wished TO signsi 20 us they
would have done so long ago. The inhabi-
tantS of Mars are millions of years more
advanced than We, and had they any de-
sire TO communicate with us they would
have long ago done so. and, receiving no
reply, would have set US down vulgar
beings not interested I'm their planet, so
why should they continue to interrogate
people who do not answer? They have long
since judged us.
Moreover, they would have selected the
proper time TO signal US namely. when
Mars pressats its nonluminous disk toward
the earth. 3 envy the lot of the inhabitants
Of Mars. Che beautiful earth Of heaven,
without StOrms cyclones. with years
twice a. long a. here An object weighing
30 pounds here would weigh about sew
cnts 1.-TWO there: everything Is lighter, more
delicate. more refined. Millions OF years
may lift US to Its perfection"
Wilfred DeF'onvielle. member OF the As
Economical Society of France. says:
The luminous projections observed are
undoubtedly signals from the inhabitants
Of Mars to us. A line of bright lights sew
eral hundred miles long has been observed
on the border Of Lake Iscarie. These gi-
gantic illuminations continued seventy min
utes and vanished suddenly. Light never
follows geometric lines. and the rectilinear
disposition of the Illumination mentioned
indicates the action OF Intelligent agents.
Simultaneous illumination has furnished a
like argument. Hence the projections were
signals OF the Inhabitants TO us and con-
sequently sure TO be repeated. We ought to
observe Mars closely from now till Febru-
ary %, when IL will be in opposition"
Dorothea Klumpke says: The projections
are astronomical phenomena, not signals
from the inhabitants. Mars is doubtless in
habited by superior race. and ! see prob
ability in kant's theory that we may be
transmitted to other planets for another
life."
