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 a Marian 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.

Of water, the fluid constituents have

indicates another point freely con-
ceded, that is, Mrs has proceeded

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

American Peace Society, on 'The Pres
ent Position of the Peace Movement"
What Has Been Accomplished.
Dr.. Trueblood said in part:
LET me sketch in the barest out
lines what has already been accom-
plished. The Interpretation will take
care of itself.
IT. The mss and women, now a
great host, who believe that the day
Is past when blind brute force should
direct the policies of nations and pre-
side at the settlement of their diff
ferences, are now thoroughly organ
lied. A hundred years ago there was
not q society in existence organized
to promote appeal to the forum Of
reason and right in the adjustment of
international controversies. To-day
there are hnore than 500, nearly
every important nation having
it's group of peace organizations. Their
constituents are numbered by tens of
thousands, from every rank and class
in -philanthropists, men Of
trade and commerce, educators and
jurists, workingmen. statesmen, rulers
even.
"The organized peace party has its
International Peace bureau at Berne,
Switzerland, binding all its sections
into one world body. 1t has its Inter
national Peace congress which has
held II meetings in 20 years-con-
crosses over which statesmen now feel
it an honor to preside.
Triumph of Arbitration.
'TI. The position which the peace
movement has reached is no less dis
tinctly determined by the practical at
tainments of arbitration. We are this
year celebrating what is really the
one hundredth anniversary of the birth
of our movement, for it was in 1909
that David L. Dodge, a Christian mer
chant of New York city, wrote the

firmly on the presence on Mars of
vegetable life, and, because Mars pos
sesses water and an atmosphere, we
find it provided with two of the es-
sential conditions for the develop
ment and maintenance Of vitality.
The mind naturally turns further
afield to the question of the existence
on Mars of animal life, and, moreover,
to that Of the possible development
on the planet of intelligent beings.
DR.. 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
primal motive of self-preservation for
an incentive. This view hinges natural
~ on the assumption that the Marian
canals are the work of intelligent be-
ings, who constructed them to save
the planet from desiccation.

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 its 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
a large mass meeting which was ad-
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi
cago.
Welcome to the Congress.
Orchestra hall was filed to the
limit Monday when the first session
was called to order by Robert Treat
Paine of Boston, the presiding officer,
for governors, mayors and hundreds of
clubs had been asked to appoint dele.
gates, and most of them had re-

dress, the same he delivered several
weeks ago before the Hamilton club,
was read, and the congress was then
formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S.
Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A.
Busso for the city and Rev. A. Eugene
Bartlett chairman of the reception
committee. The secretary then read
brief letter from President Taft, in
which the chief executive heartily
commended the aims of the congress.

In the ideal town of the future, as
pictured by Sir Oliver Lodge, the
houses will have gas for heating by
open fires and for cooking, and cleo
tricity for lighting. The gas, pro-
duced from the coal at the mine, will
be sent long distances through pipes,
as water is now distributed. 1t is
hoped that the experiment will be tried
soon, the burning of crude coal in town
being absolutely forbidden, and at least
two English towns are already consid-
ering the plan. The publication of
the air is one of the greatest needs in
the improvement of the conditions OF
city life.
