Like our clouds of similar kind, they
remain ut high attitudes. and. seen at

of the planetary disk looking like solar

signals mado to US by the inhabitants
OF mars.
The changes Of color, according to
the season, have eNpleind certain facts
to us: the lower plains of the planet
and Its large valleys are covered with
a vegetation that is probably quite
stunted as compared to ours, and which
is made possible by the humidity Of
the atmosphere. 1t is in these places
that the vapor usually gathers. At the
leys the hoar frost collects at sun
set and during the night and often
during the day white fogs mark the To-
cation of the famons canals.
In the course of the years the out
lines of the seas change with extra

By Abbe Moreux, Pres

when considering conditions on GU,
heighbor planet Mars, you must al
ways remember that the years on Mari
are almost twice as long as ours. con-
gisting OF $50 days. Each side Is there
fore exposed to the blessed rays OF the
sun for more than eleven months a
year. which causes every trace of snow
even at the poles to disappear com
pletely.
A very strange climate indeed,
stranger than any one is apt TO think
and the reason is not far to seek.
If you look at your barometer, YOU
will notice that here on earth the aver
age atmospheric pressure at sea
level as measured by the weight of a
column OF mercury counterbalancing
the weight OF the air. is about seven
ty-five centimetres.
AS you get up into higher attitudes,
the pressure rapidly diminishes. At
the top of the Einel Tower. you will
already find decrease of about three
tcentimetres. On the summit of a noun
tain Of 1900 metres the barometer
barely registers sixtythree centime-
tres. at 1000 metres, the pressure Is
about sixty. At height OF Ave kilo-
eight, and at one OF eleven kilometres
only nineteen certimetres This is the
highest altitude ever reached by any
aeronaut
In these regions, the pressure of the
air is so small that our organism, used
to live al the bottom of the atmos-
pheric ocean. where 1t bears n total
weight of 5000 Kilograms, suffers
great pain Breathing becomes diff
cult, the blood beats against the skin
and tries to burst through. produce

the ears buzz. sight IS lost, and faint
ing spells are frequent.
Our trial balloons. invented to test
the atmosphere, have rarely risen to a
height OF more than thirty kilometres
and at this distance from the earth the
air Is SO rarifed that 1t can hardly
be called an atmosphere.
On the planet of Mars. the usual at
mospheric pressure corresponds to the
one we find at an altitude OF about
seventeen kilometres above sea level.
No human being would be able to
breathe there, no mammal or bird
organized as we know them would be
able to withstand suoh low pressure.
The lightness of the atmosphere on
Mars has many great effects. II we

the bell OF an air pump and gradual

And this is what happens on Mars.
