GREAT PLANET MARS
IS CLOSER To THE EARTH
Surface Marking and Polar Cap
Observed.
100000 MILES NEARER NOW.
Prof. Asaph Hall, Jr.'s, Long Vigil
At The Naval Obser, ,tory's Great
Telescope In Washington In The
Hope OF Making Some Interesting
Discovery - Engaged The Past
Month In Measuring The Two
Moons OF Mars-Some Curious
Disturbances Noted.

Moons Of Mars-SOme Curious
Disturbances Noted.
Washington, d. @. Especially. -
Mars and its moons were the target
of many OF the big telescopes in
various parts OF the world, and with
the planet only 35,000,00O miles
from the roof of the United States
Naval Observatory, as astronomical
sharps figured 1t, the instruments OF
that institution were In use all night.
Fridays distance between the earth
and Mars meant a clipping OF 49,
100000 miles of the average inter-
yening space. and Prof. Asaph Hall,
Jr., son of the astronomer who first
discovered the satellites of Mars,
began training the naval observa-
tory's great glass on the big light in
the sky early In the evening, despite
the prevailing clouds. and he an
nounced his purpose of watching de-
velo2ments untE 3 o'clock A. NJ.
All preparations had been made
with minuteness and, like many
other observers at others points, he
had hopes of some interesting scien-
tific discovery. Mars at this time is
fairly high on the horizon, and un.
der ordinarily fair conditions in this
latitude excellent observations should
be recorded OF the surface markings
and polar caps.
Work OF The Experts.
While interest was heightened or
the observations by reason OF the
planet running in closer to the earth
than at any other time, the astro
nomical experts of the government
are not conflning their work along
this line. Professor Hall and his as.
sociates have been engaged since Au.
gust 20 in measuring the two moons
of Mars, and will continue probably
for month or more.
The polar cap has taken up less
OF their time, although some very
good observations have been made
with view of determining the size
OF that feature Of Mars and of Other
markings as we'll. The satellites are
rather close to the planet and som,
very curious disturbances exercised
by the planet. including rather re
markable parallelizing effects, hav,
been noted. To observers studying
different portions CT Mars. the innel
moon appears in quite different po
sitions In the sky.
