THE MAGAZINE SAMPLER

No Life On Other PIanets.-If, now,
these two simple tests of gravitation and
temperature be applied to the habitability
Of the planet Mars for example, it will be
seen that it is futile to discuss the kind
Of life that may exist upon Mars, for the
reason that the physical conditions neces-
sary for the existence of life are not pres
ent in that very interesting planetary
sneighbor that revolves around our sun be-
tween the orbit Of Jupiter and the earth.
So says Michael A. Lane in the National
Magazine for September. 1t has been cal
culated that the temperature of Mars is
too low to support metabolic change In
other words, Mars is too cold for life to
exist upon it.
But even were this objection sur
mounted, the small mass Of Mars would
still stand in the way. It has been calcu-
lated that the mass of Mars is not great
enough to exert an attractive power capa-
bic of holding the vapor of water to the
surface Of the planet. The vapor of water
would fly off into space from Mars, as free
hydrogen flies off into space from the
earth, # this be true, there is no life on
Mars.
The other planets OF the solar sys-
TEN are not seriously to, be- considered il
this respect.

A False Notion Corrected.

The partial failure of the wheat crop
this year is said to have created some
apprehension in the east as to the bust
ness outlook in the northwest. That
mistake is due to two things: One is
that some people haye not yet learned
that, while Minnesota is the greatest
wheat state in the union; wheat is
very small part of our total farm pro-
duction. The other is that those who
think the reduction of the wheat crop
means less money in circulation, have
forgotten that the wheat crop is short
everywhere this year, and that the
price is, therefore, SO much higher that
the farmers of the northwest are like
ly to get more for their comparatively
short crop than they ordinarily get for
a full one: . az y %5@
Last year the wheat crop, of Mime
sofa was estimated to have been, worth
y to the farmers approximately $40 ,OOO,-
fD0G.c The yield was about 20 100000
bushels This years crop, ON account
s>of the peculiar conditions, cannot now
be closely estimated, but is expected
s to reach 60,000,00o bushels; for, in
saspite of the injury done in some quar-
asters, it must be- remembered that the
damaging causes were not in opera
.tion early enough to seriously affect
& the yield in the southern portion of the
state, where there is lot of very fine
wheat. There is sound reason for be-
lieving, therefore, that this years crop
s. at the high price which it is sure to
command, will sell for = more money
than last year S. ~ 49,.
~ Last year the value: Of other field
fcrops--corn. oats, barley, rye, hay, pc
-3tatoes and fax--was estimated at $62,
