firmly on the presence on Mars OF

sesses water and an atmosphere, we

The mind naturally turns further

DIR. Lowell argues that if the polar
ice caps of Mars have to be tapped to
revivify its arid wastes such action
must postulate intelligence with the

an incentive. This view hinges natural
ly on the assumption that the Martian

GREAT CONGRESS OF PEACE
WORKERS HELD In CHICAGO
Thousands of the Opponents of Warfare Including Many
Distinguished Diplomats and Statesmen, Gather to
Discuss Disarmament and Worldwide
Arbitration.

Chicago.-Every civilized country on
the globe was represented in the Sec
ond National Peace Congress, which
began here Monday. The gathering
was the greatest of it's kind ever held
in America, and brought to Chicago
some $4,000 persons who are jealous
workers in the cause of worldwide
peace. Among these were eminent
statesmen and diplomats of this and
other nations. Unfortunately, official
duties prevented both President Taft,
the honorary president, and Secretary
of War Dickinson, the president of the
congress, from being present.
On Sunday there were special serv-
tees in most of the Chicago churches,
peace meetings under the auspices Of
socialist and labor organizations, and
large mass meeting which was ad-
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi

HAS MORE LAND THAN WATER
Scientist Explains in What Manneri
the Planet Mars Differs from
the Earth.

Mountainless Mars has inspired the
pen of Prof. Percival Lowell, who de-
clares that Martian landscape
would seem to us remarkably tame,
and that the scenery would be chiefly
notable for the lack of everything that
with us goes to make it up. That
which relates Mars to the earth in
one sense is the distribution of land
and sea; but while our earth has
more sea than land, Mars, on the con-
trary, shows more land than sea.
Originally possessing its own share
of water, the fluid constituents have
been so far absorbed, and this fact
indicates another point freely con-
ceded, that is, Mars has proceeded
further inwards in that pathway of
planetary evolution, which, beginning
in a nebulous mass. ends in a dead
moon.
Cooling down to a certain extent
our earth was fitted to become the
abode Of life. Prof. Lowell decides
