It Is questionable whether the real

ever been the within Of artists to

their models toward the ideals of their
fancy. The sculptor is usually a
proudly careless historian and but a
poor reporter. All Greek sculpture

Prof. Percival Lowell Of Harvard,
in a communication to Nature, a

that the observations made during
the recent opposition Of the planet
Mars tends to establish the fact that
the planet is at present the abode
Of intelligent constructive life. Speak
ing of the observations of the polar
caps, which were begun three
months and a half before the oppo-
sition occurred, it was possible to
catch the south polar cap at it's max
imum extent. Prof. Lowell is salts
fled that he vas able to observe de-
.yelopment of the canal system in the
antarctic and south temperate zones.
He says it is a direct conclusion
from this that the planet is at pres
ent the abode of intelligent beings
He adds that the theory of such life
was not on a priori hypothesis on
his part, but was the result Of obser.
vations now fully confirmed. On the
photographs taken already he has
counted fifty-six canals, and it ap.
pears now certain that the position.
ing of points of the Maratian topog.
raphy will be realized. Three Of
