Plenty of Rain This Year

According to the official record of rainfall which has been kept by Dr. B. G. Fox, the precipitation for Globe since June 90 amounts to 4.22 inches. The rainfall this year is well up to the average and as it has been heavier Tn country districts than in Globe, tue io' cal agricultural industry should fare very well this season.

special astronomical aptitude both to see and to map the
Marian canals" and we need not be surprised that
many astronomers criticise Lowelps estimate of the
number of the canals as 426 and of the "oases" they join
as 1856.
What are these lines and spots-are they canals!
Prof. Lowell and his assistants, Mr.. Lampland and Mr..
a certain point they have very ~doughtily met objection
after objection to their theory. 1t must be understood
that no responsible person now denies that there are
markings on Mars. What astronomers dispute is wheth-
er these markings are as numerous as Flagstaff obser-
vatory declares, and whether they are artificial in char
acter. We may cede their number. Are they artificial?
One argument in favor Of their having been made by
intelligent beings is that some of the lines appear to
run parallel for hundreds of miles. The reality of this
appearance was doubted. Mr.. Lampland has photo
graphed Mars, and there, real beyond doubt, on some
of the tiny photographs no bigger than a pea, appear
now and again double canals. Then there was the
question of water. Was there water on Mars at all?
Mr.. Slipher has shown, by means Of the spectroscope.
that there is water in the Marian atmosphere. If there
is water in the atmosphere then Mars may be less cold
than Lowells opponents have declared, and the atmos-
phere itself more dense. If that be true then there
may be water in these long lines which Lowell calls
canals, and these canals may have been built by rea-
soning beings, who thus sought to irrigate their scorched
and drying planet with water flowing from the polar
SHOWS.
That is the belief which Prof. Lowell once again as.
serts in Mars as the Abode of Life" and he comes to
his declaration with a vigor like the renewal he claims
for the Marian spring. More than that, he threatens
this stnf-necked generation Of unbelievers. Look at
Mars" he says, "and you will see pictured the future Of

so much of the sunlight falling on us; the masses of
clouds of the wine dark seas" would add so much to
the dazzling impression, that hardly in the course of a
long life would the Marian astronomer be able to
glimpse every part of the earth. 1t is otherwise with
Mars. Just as it is said that every nation has the news
papers it deserves, so every planet has the atmosphere
it can hold. In oxygen, In nitrogen, in hydrogen, in
every gas, the particles, the molecules of the gas are
ever striving to fly away into space at speeds of thou
sands of miles a second. The lighter the gas the greater
the speed; and the only thing that keeps an atmosphere
inclosing a planet is the pull which the planets weight
or gravity exerts. 1t is because the moon is so light in
weight that it fails to hold any p%erceptible atmosphere
at all. The planet Mars is in many ways midway in
characteristics between the moon and the earth; but
it resembles the moon more than the earth in its failing
grip on its gases. It's atmosphere is, therefore, very
thin.
One consequence of this is that we see Mars very
clearly. But we do not see it as clearly as we see the
moon. Its atmosphere does not refract light to a very
dazzling extent; and most astronomers believe that no
clouds are ever seen floating on it, There are dusky
veilings on its disc, that cross it like flying shadows;
but these are great duststorms raised by tempests such
as would eclipse the widest tornado which ever ragged
on our modest planet; and there are apparitions which
Lowell has identified as snowstorms such as sweep over
a polar continent. In short, in spite Of the clearness and
lightness of the Marian atmosphere, Seeing Mars" has
been described by an observer at Lowel's own observa-
tory as "like looking at a Swiss landscape from a high
Alp, with the summer clouds sweeping about one. Now
the mist rolls away, revealing a bit of the valley, and
shuts in again in a moment, while in some other spot
the clouds break away and disclose a Jagged summit
or a portion of a shining glacier" 1t requires, therefore,

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect Of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, a lad of four, had been Ill
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
II knew something of Grape-Nuts
and it's rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly Of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, SO / started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at nee. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
so well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
"An old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got SO weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in a serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind Of
food for the sick without avail.
II Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and Just a
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when / came next day Why doctor I
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel SO much stronger
Il am pleased to say that he got
we'll on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks.
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite Of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained %
pounds in two months which at his
age Is remarkable.

your own earth, when, by the insensible flight of the
gases of the atmosphere, seas, rivers and lakes alike
will leave you, and nothing will remain but arid deserts
and the wintry Arctic and Antarctic. Thence alone
will YOU be able to derive moisture for the sustenance
of the vegetation, which, in its turn, will sustain a more
ethereal, wasted race of men; and, like the Martians, you,
too, will have to build canals hundreds of thousands OF
miles long, employing all the resources OF your engineer
ing skill thus to keep your palid life within you" 1t
may be so, and in thirst the world may perish. But
the theory is artificial, as Lowell would have us be-
lieve the canals. We cannot now examine all the objec-
lions to the superstructure of the theory; and we will
only say this: That in theories Of worlds as in theories
of life it is inadvisable to seek other than the simplest
explanations. On the surface of the earth and on the
surface Of the moon there has been volcanic action. On
all planets, Mars included, there is a probability amount
ing to certainty that volcanic action has taken place or
is taking place, and on Mars volcanic action would prob
ably be more marked than on the earth. Volcanic cracks
such as we know exist in the moon, though geologic time
has obliterated most of them on the earth, probably
exist on Mars, and the lines we see there are merely
cracks in the surface, from which steam exudes and Gre
ates an annual darkening crop of vegetation in the
spring time. On a smaller scale similar canals and SINH
lar growth have been noticed even in the airless moon.
In the island of Hawaii there are craters which by
their. slow yelling action furnish us with the closest par
alel that is known of the forms Of craters in the moon.
The volcanoes of the moon were not %eruptive like Etna
and vesuvius, but were pits. in which, as in the volcano
at Kilauea, the lava welled up. In the moon there are
long cracks, known as rills, of (which one, the Aria
deus rill, Is some hundreds of miles in length. In the
plains about the Hawaiian volcanoes are similar cracks
on a small scale, up which steam rushes.

Earth Beings Cannot LiUe in
Climate of Mars
By Capt. Ellis D. Morson

NE thing only is undisputed about the climate
MxVNM of Mars, and it is that if we were transported
g@XIW@ there we should instantly die. How far this
NSkH# ncontrovertible fact is compatible with forms
wv of intelligent life such as we know nothing
of is a matter on which Prof. Lowell is not in
agreement with the larger number of astronomers who
have had opportunities of observing Mars. Let us, how.
ever, before inquiring where the observer of Flagstaff
observatory, Arizona, differs from those astronomers
whom he has called the gifted directors who have not
seen the canals" set down points on which the larger
number of astronomers are in agreement. In the first
place there are distinct markings on Mars. These mark
ings have been known for a very long time; and have
been mapped by many observers since Schiaparelli, the
Italian astronomer, announced certain peculiarities about
them 80 years ago. A point of which Lowell makes a
great deal is that these maps all coincide very closely
in setting down the places where the lines on Mars APP
near. and in tracing the directions which these lines
take, II is hardly necessary to say that the lines appear
to nearly all observers as straight lines.
A new question, however. now arises: The question Of
the trustworthiness of seeing If one imagines an
astronomer-not very exactng about the quantity Of
oxygen necessary for his support-setting up a tele-
scope on Mars to point at the earth, we shall have to
allow that he would not see very much. Our dense at
mosphere, with the singular watery envelope that 1t is
suspected of possessing at great heights, would reflect
