oases, are subject to seasonal change;
and that the whole canal system is
dependent on the melting OF the
polar cap. Professor Lowell regards
the lines which we can call the canals
as not the canals proper, but the
strips of ground fertilized by them.
AS the Polar caps melt the canals be-
come darker. A wave OF verdure
passes from the poles down TO the
equator, and into the opposite hemis-
pheres. Professor Lowell is of opin-
lion that the canal system is the work
OF the inhabitants of Mars; the
lplanet is older than the earth, ana
as much OF its surface appears to he
desert land, II suffers from a scarcity
of water. To remedy this the SUI
posed inhabitants have constructed
this system of canals and have made
their abode In the various cases.
which are believed by Professor
Lowell TO be centers of population,
where the inhabitants, driven from
the deserts by scarcity of water,
cluster around the fertilized regions.
Both theories have been before
the public for number of years. A
few years ago most astronomers
seemed to incline toward the illusion
theory. But the observations made
al Flatstaff in 1903 and 1905 were a
serious blow to the hypothesis. Pro
Ifessor Lowell detected in 1908 q
curious clustering of the double ca
nails in the equatorial regions.

obvious that the phenomena are real
In 1906 the writer had the honor
to receive from Professor Lowell cop

secured at Flagstaff. on which th'
canals were plainly seen as straight

theory, as dots of light and shade
