LII. MOUNT OF MARS.

Not only he who bears arms IL the
warrior. Everybody is one who dearly
loves a fight, even though nothing
more cutting than keen-edged sarcasm
be his weapon. And all these fighters,
whether they war with muscle and
Drawn or with the more delicate
weapons of the mind, belong to the
Marian type of humanity.
Martians, we have already seen, are
characterized by large protuberances
in the middle third of the palms, ex-
tending from side to side of the hand.
That protuberance which is on the
thumb side of the hand extending from
the thumb to the life line (the line
which runs horizontally across the
palm) is called the Lower Mount OF
Mars, and indicates the degree of ag-
gressiveness a person possesses.
On the opposite side of the hand,
occupying a corresponding position, ia
the Upper Mount of Mars. This indi-
Gates the amount of power of resist
ance a person possesses. If the mount
is large the power of resistance will be

anything ever utterly to discourage the
owner of such a mount.
In the middle of the palm, occupying
the space between the upper and the
lower mounts, is the Field of Mars"
which indicates the amount of temper
a person possesses. If the plain is very
full there is very strong temper, which
is apt to flare up suddenly and do ter
rife execution.
If there is no lower mount OF Mars,
the subject will be lacking in agrees
sion. He will have no initiative and
will nave to be pushed into undertake
ings even when they are most pal
pably beneficial for him. If there be
a big lower mount, but no upper one,
the subject will be a ''bluffer,' who
will threaten. but will back down" as
soon as his bluff is called"
If there be no high plain of Mars,
but a hollow instead. the subject will
not be SO fiery-tempered.
In the case of the hollow palm, how
ever, If there are crosses or grilles on
the plain of Mars. they will operate
as II the plain was high.
Your Marian is a most robust type.
He is full of ardor in whatever he
undertakes and is as impetuous in
love as he is in war.
Like all other mount types you can
tell what kind of occupation a Marian
Is most adapted for by noting the
~phalanges most prominent on the
fingers. Though there is no finger
correlated with the Marian mount as
there Is with the mounts We have been
considering heretofore, the phalanges
of the fingers will nevertheless indi-
cate accurately which world" domi-
mates. For instance, if the first
p~halanges are the longest, your Mar
tian will be a fighter in the mental
sphere. He will be the polemical pull
pit orator or writer or 1ie pugnaciouS
lawyer who will exhaust every possible
line of attack or defense in behalf of
his client, or If he Is a doctor he will
| fight disease with an inexorable per-
| s~istence until the last microbe of the
ailment has capitulated.
If the second phalanges are de-
veloped he will be the soldier or bust
ness man who will fight his enemies
or competitors to the drop of the flag.
If the third phalanges are the most
prominent he will go in pursuit of
pleasure with the same unabating
vigor and persistency as his brethren
of the higher spheres exert in their
respective pursuits.

tons which go to show the qualities az
