WATER IS SCARCE
ON PLANET MARS
Curious Deductions Drawn
by PerciYal Lowell.
CAUSES CHANGE IN CANALS
Martians Have Constructed Vast Irri-
cation System, Thinks the
Eminent Scientist.

LONDON. April Some interesting
and curious deductions are drawn by
PercivaI Lowell as a result of his latest
observations Of conditions on the planet
Mars MIR Lowell thinks that he has
discovered a new feature OF the two
canals which are called by astronomers
Thoth and Amenities. These canals pre-
sent themselves alternately to the view
Of obserV ers.
1t is evident thinks Mr. Lowell. that
the canals depend upon common water
supply. which is admitted 10 them in
turn. When the water is in Thoth. that
canal is visible and Amenities is in
visible, and vice versa.
This he regards as additional proof
that the canals which intersect the
Marian continent ia all directions are
not accidental markings OF the earth.
but have been constructed by the Mar
tians for purposes OF irrigation. and are
controlled as the irrigation system OF
Egypt is regulated.
The immense size Of some OF the can
ais, which are as wide as sixty miles
argues against this theory. II Is sug-
geEted that the SO-called canals are not
wholly water, but broad tracts OF cul-
Tiyated land bordering the waterways
II Is concluded by Mr.. Lowell that
water Is scarce on Mars. and that the
Martians are compelled to ecOnOmize In
its use and therefore have perfected
complete system of irriga ton.
