Life on the Planet Venus
SCIENTIST THINKS NEieHsoR MAY TEEN WITH
PREHISTORIC MONSTERS

| impeachment to observation Of Venus is
that she is always cloud wrapped.
| This has prevented us from maxi
| ing many observations that we would
| like. and as far as we have noted here
at Harvard We have distinguished only
slightly larger markings that were
Evidently on the cloud wrapping of the
planet.
For this reason l cannot express
jany opinion on Prof. Secs announce
mcnt of his belief in the cxistoncet of
life there until he gives out the OBJ
scrvation that led him to the conclu-
sion.
The clouds and dense atmosphere
prevent, or have prevented. anything
| like The close observation that has been
made of Mars. OF course, when
| everything is taken into consideration,
Venus does seem more capable of sup
porting life than any other planet cX-
ccpt the earth. What that life is,
| however, is quite another question,
| eliminating for the time Prof. See
| theory, which may be based on OBJ
Servation such as | cannot attempt to
guess.
Tho temperature of Venus is prob
ably the same as in our own tropics,
and the dense atmosphere may be of Il
composition such as enveloped the
earth in the carboniferous period. 1t
has been said, and with what appears
to be good reason, that the surface Of
Venus is today mostly water, perhaps
swamps. or perhaps all water. That
would account for the clouds and the
dense atmosphere. for Venus receives
about twice as much solar heat and
light as does the earth, and the sup
position is that on Venus one would
find steaming swamps.
In other words, Venus is much
Younger than the earth. and is today
passing through one of the many
periods that are recorded in our
geologic strata II the geological de-
velopment or evolution of Venus is
thus following that of the earth it is
most interesting speculation whether
the biological development is progress
ing in the same way.
1t has ben said that there is no
proof that any two planets upon
reaching the same stage geologically
would necessarily have the same sort
Of Venus may be of such Il compost
ton that whatever life there is there
resembles nothing that ever was on the
earth.
As t. the existence of intelligent
life, the question is still open until we
hear more definitely from Prof. See.
He NAV have observed markings that
he is certain are made on the surface
of the planet and not merely upon the
outer wrapping of clouds. and he may
feel convinced that these markings in
dictate the presence of intelligent be-
ings.
Prof. Lowell at his Flagtasff OBJ
servatory. some time ago noted lines
radiatng from central spot like the
hub and spokes of wheel, but he did
not think they resembled the Marian
markings, or canals. They did not in
dicate artificial origin.
IT il is ever established that the
planet Venus is inhabited 1t will be
less surprising than if the same were
proved conclusively of any other
planet, owing to the similarity in many
respects OF Venus and the earth. ~

TRAINER TELLS WHY FREAklsH HORSE
GOOD FOR HIM.

Il can tell you n story about horse,
Trainer Jim said, response to solicitation.
Il had him in my own string. He was
supcrbiy bred, save that he was the get
of individuals famous in turf history for
their freakish disposition. Before had
owned him n week he crippled his rub
her-down with one kick from his light
ming heels. On the day that he faced the
barrier he sent his jockey to the hospital
by suddenly lying down on the track and
rolling on top Of him.
Il reasoned that if the horse could win
once he could win always. All he needed
was to know the way home and his speed
would do the rest. Unfortunately he
never ran long enough in race to find
the way. He frequently equaled Geral-
dimes half mle--but only in mile races
So what was the good? In half-mile
races he never ran further than the quar-
ter.

kept him as stable mascot in the same
way that some strings support goat
His reputation as a lucky horse was de-
rived from escaping the eagle eye of the
turf authorities, who have notorious
grudge against unruly thoroughbreds
Another horse would have been shot as
worthless for half his crimes. He had
ONLY one virtue as a race horse. He was
a splendid pacemaker in the training gal
lops OF our breadwinners.
Il kept him largely largely because an
old colored hand, in whose judgment
had great faith. declared that the horse
sulked out of revenge for not getting the
kind of feed he liked. 1t cost more tc
maintain that horse than any two live
ones. | wish you could have seen the

churia, there is little doubt that by
some means or other the germs Of
pneumonia plague have been carried
directly from this distant part of Asia
to Europe The statement that cases
have occurred in the province of AS
traki1an would appear to make this
beyond question. 1t should be remem-
bered. however, that according to the
theory which finds acceptance with
some experts the infection reached Eu-
rope months. or perhaps year and
more ago. In the same way it is be-
lieved that plague was dormant in
Bombay some time before the first Sc
riouS outbreak in 1896. Under condi-
latent danger may suddenly start into
activity. Since 1896 India has never
been free from plague; but prolonged
and careful research has entirely failed
to discover any law determining its
progress. 1t is still impossible to un-
derstand why the mortality which
was ia, 900 in 1897. suddenly rose in 1901
TO $4,000. In 1907, the deaths from
plague in India reached the appalling
fetal Of 1,3l6,O00. During the last week
az stise current year for which returns

Nils cause, an increase of about 1880
over the total for the corresponding
m onth of 1910. Behind such lamenta-
bic statistics lies the disquieting fact
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1911-03-11

That the planet Venus, the nearest
| of the earth's celestial sisters, may be
populated BY millions of huge pre-
historic monsters and lizards, such as
roamcd the earth 100000 years ago, is
the astounding assertion which has
just been put forward by Prof. william
| II. Pickering Of the Harvard l'ni-
| Vcrsity astronomical department.
Prof. Pickcring's statement comes as
| complementary to the startling an
nouncemcnt made by Prof. Thomas
jefferson Jackson See. of the United
States Navy observatory ut Mare
Island, cal. who recently has given out
word that intelligent creatures such rs
Knight be called human now populate
| Ecnus.
Prot Pickering. keenly alert To all
assertions OF this nature, particularly
when coming from one Of the most
authoritative of Uncle Sans star gaZ-
ers. is douhly Interested from the fact
| that for a number Of years he has
been gathering observations which
lead him to belief in the life" theory
upon Venus.
Already the astronomers Of the
turtles OF batfied investigation whether
the mystery among the planets is
about to be solved.
Has Prof. Sec finally pierced the belt
of atmosphere that surrounds this
nearby world like pail? What sort
of Intelligent creatures" has he
found? Is there chance that com
munication can be established with
them. the plan for which was set forth
by Prof. William Pickering, as was
proposed in the case of the planet
Mars little more than year ago?
Prof. Pickering offers the opinion
that Venus may be the scene today of
the life the earth knew far back in the
Pleistocene and earlier periods. before
the advent Of man. In other words,
the cloud banks that have shut off
hitherto the gaze of human astronom-
ers, may conceal the vision of a planet
of intermnable steamng swampS, in
which welter and walloW great rep
titan creatures of the kind whose tos-
sils are dug up today thousands OF feet
below the surface Of the earth.
This theory has been held tentative
ly by Prof. Pickering for many years,
and, therefore, he is all the more in
terestcd by the news that Prof See has
found the higher forms of life on the
mysterious planet AS to the posi-
bility of this Prof, Pickering says;
Certainly, there are many physical
reasons for thinking that if any other
planet besides the earth is inhabited il
is probably Venus.
1T is about the same size as the
earth, and its density is about the
same. The force of gravity upon its
surface is only slightly less than that
of the earth. 1t has been estimated
that roughly speaking. the gravity of
Venus as compared with that of the
earth is as So to 100. We feel reason
ably sure that at the planets surface
the atmosphere is many times that of
our own.
Venus is the nearest to us of the
planets. being about 30.000.O00 miles
away. but we have experienced diff
tulty in studying it as closely as Mars.
When Venus is nearest the earth
the planet lies between us and the sun.
When Mars is nearest us it is opposite,
the sun, and is. therefore. easily oh
served. Another and even greater
