ARE OTHER WORLDS IyHABITEDy

Astronomers regard the hundred million stars
that stud the heavens suns. While they have
practically no evidence that those bodies have
families of planets like those which go circling
around the central orb OF our solar system.
they cOncede that the suppositIon is at least
credible. In size, temperature and other charac-
teristics the satellites OF other may differ
among themselves do the sister planets OF
the earth If, therefore, 1t could be demon
strated that any of the latter was the abode OF
creatures endowed with intellect il would not
be unreasonable to believe that thousands-per-
haps millions-of other worlds were inhabited
by beings akin TO man. This stupendous posi-
bility, 10 say nothing of the feasibility of COM
muncation with the residents OF Mars-if 1t
has any-inyests the study OF that body with
the profoundest interest.
1t is particularly fortunate that the planet
which in its apparent fitness TO sustain life
most nearly resembles the earth can be studied
more advantageously than the other members
of the family 10 which it belongs Venus AZ

who occupy the direct attention of the ponce
in either guardianship or arrest. There are
certainly enough of them to make by theh-
selves large city.
1t is not only an impressive reminder OF TINS
uIbs in HrbC. rs have said. but also
gratifying indication of our increasing care ior
other than purely material things, that clergy!
man has been designated for the special duty
of ministering to the spiritual needs OF tins
multitude of strangers. Such needs are IRE
quent they are often urgent, and they are not
always easily supplied except in suCh WI!
as that which has Just been devised ana %
vded. For these visitors are subject 10 all III"
common requirements of humanlty-ol pap
tisni of the solemnizatiOn of matrimony OF the
burial of the dead. and of such consolation HI
strlIcti0n or advice as most people inStnCtiv"ly
seek from minister Of religion The perlha
nent resident. even if not directly connectcu
with any church, generally knows some neigh
boring clergyman to whom he can turn with
confidence. The stranger does not, ana WhiIe
it might be easy to find a minister through Ill
curry. there would be no assurance of finding
one whose other duties left him free to re-
spond to the call, nor could the stranger apply
TO one thus found AZ random with the conf
dence which he would feel in man specially
selected and set apart by authority for that
very work
Some former efforts which have bcen maue
in one way another thus to minister 10
strangers have by their somewhat dubious re-
suits emphasized the need of better system OF
indeed just such iudiciOus choice and authorl-
tative appointment as have now been mad"
For obviously in the performance OF such
work as is before him the chaplain 10 stran-
gers" has need of n versatility. an adaptabillty
a freedom from sensatOnalism and self-adver-
Using. and. above ALL wise and firm discretion
That such qualities are possessed by DR. Was
SON and that they will be successfully employed
by him in the important work to which he has
been commissioned there is reason to believe,
and we may expect that from the application
of his experience and devotion to this interest
ing field of labor credit will be reflected
upon this city for the spiritual as well "a the
physical, intellectual and social care which II
takes of the strangers within its gates.

case this week. the interval between the two
bodies reaches n minimum Besides, Mars is
not envelOped. most Of the other planets seem
TO he. in veil OF clouds and the absence OF
such screen wonderfully facilitates scrutiny
The suspicion that Mars may be inhabited is
chiefly attributable to those singular markings
on its surface which SchiaIarelli called ca
mails" and some of the characteristics OF which
are described on another page of The Tribune
to-day. With true scientific caution the distin-
guished Italian disayOwed any intention 10 in
terpret these lines by the name he gave then
though he thought that certain changes in their
visibility, color and breadth were associated
somehow with the succession Of the seasons on
Mars Indeed, as soon as it was understood
that the lines ranged in width from thirty TO
hundred and fifty miles the abSurdity Of the
notion that they could be artificial highways be-
came manifest. That they represent an exercise
OF engineering skill in the interest OF agriculture
rather than commerce. and that they consist of
belts of vegetation made possible through irri-
CATION, are more plausible suggestions, no doubt
They appeal more strongly TO popular fancy
than the theory that the lines are crevices sim
liar 10 those on the moon.
If there is little promise that the key TO the
principal mystery will i've found in the near
future, at least two disputed points are likely
soon to be cleared up Photography Will assist
in showing whether the lines on Mars are inag-
mary or not. When the returns are ali in from
this years ohscryat tons it ought 10 he possible
TO say with some degree of certainty whether
not Mars has canals and also whether any
of them ever appear double. If Mr.. Percival
Lowell definitely settles these questions he will
perform an extremely creditable service.
