THE PLANET MARS.
What We Know About Its Physical
and Climatic Couditlons.

what We Know About Its Physical
and Climatic Conditions.
We can draw all the geographical
confgurations, seas. coasts, islands,
peninsulas, mouths of rivers or canals
OF Mars with accuracy, and we can an
dcipate what district will appear in
the lens Of the telescope. for the length
Of the rotation of the planet is known
to the hundredth part of second. As
the planet turns upon its axis more
slowly than ours, the calendar Of the
Inhabitants of Mars is composed of
two consecutive years Of 6GS days and
q bisextile one of 500 days.
1t is not many years since Mars en-
tered into the sphere of our observa-
ton. And one can also say that there
ls but a small number of the inhabit-
ants of this world who have observed
it in all its details, and of these the
most experienced is Signor Schiaparel-
II, director of the observatory at Milan.
The geographical map of the planet
Mars has just been made with infinite
care by the above mentioned astrono-
mer. One might really consider it
terrestrial sphere of continents, islands,
coasts, peninsulas, CULTS, waters. More
over Clouds rains, foundations, SHOWS,
seasons. winters and summers, springs
and autumns prevail as they do here,
and the intensity of the seasons is alb
solutely the same as with us. the ill.,
clinatton Of the axis being the same as
eurs.
Our problem Of the Availability of the
stars is limited to observing the celes-
tial bodies upon which the conditions
are such that organized matter can ex-
lit in durable form.
In the planet Mars the density Of
cubic meter Of water, earth or any
matter is only the seventeenth Of what
It is here, and the weight is only
thirty Eight one-hundredths. A kilo-
gram transported to Mars would
therefore only weigh 376 grams
there, and a man or woman weigh.
ing seventy kilos would only weigh
twenty-six there. The years are
nearly twice as long as upon our
planet, and the Chronological condi-
tons seem much more favorable than
they are here.
The conditions necessary to life are,
We know, multiform, as the structure
Of the organic matter is 80 complicated.

Magazine.

The sPlague Of Women"

When the war between Japan and
Russia broke out the Japanese govern
ment did not desire the assistance of
foreign nurses.
A certain number Of American nurses
went to japan. They were received
with courtesy and compliments by the
polite officials at Tokyo. But the New
York Medical Record says that "the
medical department Of the japanese
army has been frightfully embarrassed
by their attentions" 1t declares that
their ignorance Of the Japanese Ian
guage and their inability to eat Jap
anese food or to live in Japanese style
have proved an almost complete bar to
their usefulness.
The London Hospital unfeelingly re-
marks, 'Nurses should show more dis
cipline when wars occur, or they may
come to be classed with the plague OF
