A COLD PROPOSITION.

Professor Simon Newcomb the emil
Dent astronomer, has dispelled some of
the decisions popularity entertained
about the planet Mars in an article in
Harper's Weekly. He explains that the
so-called canals" traversing the plan
ct were never thought by astronomers
to bear any semblance to what are
known by the people of this earth as
canals. The bands or channels which
have been assumed as artificial are
scores if not hundreds of miles wide
and this fact makes against the as
sumption. But that they are water
ways at all has not been demonstra-
ted and Professor Newcomb holds out
no great encouragement that 1t ever
will be demonstrated. This is because
there are great difficulties due to the
atmosphere through which all observa-
tions must be made. And even If there
were telescopes many times the mag
nifying power of any now in existence
the indstinctness caused by the earth's
atmosphere would be magnified in the
same degree. 1t would matter little
how near the planet might be brought
if viewed through varying cloud OF
smoke and mist.
IL there is lie IN mars 1t must Dt
maintained in a temperature of rarity
about equal to that on the top of the
Hamalaya mountains. Furthermore 1T
must be maintained in a temperature as
cold on an average as the temperature
of the earth at the poles. Even at the
equator of Mars it must grow cold
enough at night to CONCEAL water at a
considerable depth.
The supposition of either vegetable
or animal life is mere guess-work and
not a demonstrated fact. On the we'll
known fact that life is more abund-
ant in the warm tropical regions or
the earth and less abundant toward
the poles the conclusion Is reasonable
that that there is no life on Mars and
that the warmer planet Venus is much
more liable to sustain life.
If the dark spots on Mars are bodies
of water they must be frozen seas ana
the changes noted on the planets sur
face are referable to. other causes than
the melting of SHOWS and the change
of seasons.
|. Altogether Professor Newcomb has
put a distinct encouragement on the
popular belief that there may yet be
established signal stations of commun-
ication with the inhabitants of another
world. Mars is especially such cold
proposition that the task OF discovering
and populating the polar regions OF
this earth is rather pleasant to con-
template by comparison.
