WILL SAIL MAYFLOWER.

NEW YORK, August 31.-Mrs. Eva
M. Barker, who owns the old Ame-
rica's cup defender Mayfower has
entered the yacht in the coming ocean
race to jamestown and will sail the
famous schooner herself.
The contest, which will be held
under the auspices of the Indian Har-
Dor Yacht Club of Greenwich, Conn,
will start in Long Island sound next
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Barker, who has been of the
most enthusiastic yachtswomen in
America since she acquired the fam.
Gus craft that beat the Galatea in
1886, is undaunted even by the fact
that the Mayflower will have to com
pete against such racers as the lingo
mar, which Capt. Barr will sail. She
really hopes to win, but says she is
only going for jolly sail.

hearing the remark, said:

This pleased Pat to such an extent
that he spent considerable money on

PICTURE OF MARS
CAUSE FOR WONDER
THEY SUPPORT PROFESSOR LO-
WELLS THEORY OF LIFE ON
THE PLANET.

LONDON, Aug. 3O.-Three remark
able photographs accompany Profes-
sor Lowells account of his observa-
tions Of the planet Mars, appearing
as a part of the report which was
cabled yesterday. These photographs
show with striking clearness the nor
thern and southern ice caps and the
various canals hitherto unknown in
Europe. 1t was the evolution of
these canals that confirmed Professor
Lowell in his theory of the presence
on the planet of intelligent life.
Both photographs and article were
the subjects of interesting comment
today at the Royal Observatory at
Greenwich. While paying high tri-
butte to Professor Lowelps contribu-
tions to astronomy, the chief assis-
tant astronomer royal said that he
was not prepared yet to accept the
American savants theory as final.
Il cannot quite see," said Mr.. Ed
dingtOn, that Lowell has proven his
case. He has taken some wonderful
photographs, and they show the evo-
luton he predicted in his work on
Mars and Its Canals But we are
more inclined here to accept the theo-
ry of Professor Pickering, of Harvard,
that the canals are not artificial at
all, but the result of the planets nat
ural shrinkage. This view is general
ly held in England. We are inclined
to believe that the planet is played
out; that it's career is finished. There
may have been intelligent life on the
planet many millions of years ago,
but this is a mere speculation.
Il cannot quite follow Professor
Lowell when he says that, when the
canals were evolved along the predict
ed lines it is a direct sequitur that
the planet is the abode of constructive
life.
"As a matter of fact we have no
right to discuss the question here, as
practically all our information regard
ing Mars must come from America.
we are wholuly dependent upon the OBJ
servations are possible. For us, Mars
barely rises above the tree tops, SO
we are wholly dependent upon the OBJ
servations of our friends n America"
Alfred Russell Wallace, whose essay,
MANS Place in the Universe" has
given his name to the theory that life
exists on the earth only, was also
asked for an opinion of Lowell's thes-
is. Mr. Wallace telegraphs as fol-
lows:
Lowells recent observations confirm
his last book, published in 1906, but
the main facts are unaltered. My own
opinions are unchanged. I am prepar-
ing for publication a book ON all ques-
tions of climate and habitability of
Mars and probably scientific inter
probation of the canals and other nat
ural features"
The subject was variously discuss
ed in London newspapers. For exam
pie, the Daily Telegraph declares:
Nothing of such profound human
concern ever before has been present
ed on equal authority with so much
| definiteness and assurance"
On the other hand. the Pail Mall
Gazette says: "The truth is, we know
too little about it to form one theory
or another. The science of astronomy
waits very wistfully upon science of
telescope photographs, which declin-
es to hurry up"

II the work of dramatizing the popular

often expressed objections thereto IL is
such novels as Rex Bach and James Mac

most attractive material FOR the purposes

replete with action and abound in pic
