4. Martian Canals.
We have heard much of these
wonderful canals. They are so
regular, so straight and lead so
truly from the ice peaks at the
planets poles to the crop. lands,
and with side canals connecting
ether lands, that they must have
been, men of science say, the work
1f humans like ourselves.

Were II not for the canals on
Mars people on the earth would
cease, to hope ever to communi-
cate with the Martians. But peo-
pie who can build canals like
theirs must be of high intelligence
and therefore able to get some
word to earth.
These remarkable canals aver
age 80 miles wide and 1900 miles
long, and one of the largest canals
has been traced out $500 miles.
Everyone agrees that the older
a planet grows the more it will
shrink. The surface of Mars is
mottled and must have noun
Eains, but very small ones com
pared to the Rockies or the HI
fnalayas of Asia. Compared, the
earth is like, large ripe apple,
while Mars. is an older, withered
apple, smaller and with more fis-
sures on Its peeling and less
water.
While three-fourths Of earth's
surface. is water, only half Of
Mars is. Immense amounts of
snow and ice accumulate at the
north and south poles of Mars, so
this in winter cuts down the water
supply still more.
Origin of Canals.
It is an interesting story, this of
the canals. as the men of astrono-
my tell 1t. Many thousands of
years ago the Martians we're much
like we are now. Then the water
got scarcer and the atmosphere
rarer, just as the earth's will some
