What Happens On Mars


needles are formed under the breath
Of the winds.
Like our clouds of similar kind, they
remain at high attitudes and, seen at
great distance through a powerful tele-
scope, they often appear near the edge
of the planetary disk, looking like So
lar protuberances. It is these which
certain astronomers have taken to be
fire signals made to US by the inhabi-
tants OF Mars.
The changes of color according to the
season have explained 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. It is in these places that
the vapor usually gathers. AT the
bottom and on the edges Of these val
leys the boar frost collects at sunset
and during the night and often during
the day white fogs mark the location
OF the famous canals.
In the course of the years the out
lines of the seas change with extraor-
binary facility. L have been able to
observe myself that since 1909 the
shores of the Great bay have receded
to Lake Moeris and as winter ap-
erywhere, the humidity will disappear
and with it the last traces Of vegeta-
ton.
OF what kind may a vegetation be
that develops so rapidly and profusely
forests or marshes2 Are these i'm
mense plains possibly inhabited by a
strange animal world? These are ques-
tions which our present knowledge is
unable to answer.
All that we are able to say now is
that if the planet Of Mars is of more
recent formation than the earth, its
evolution has been more rapid, because
it is smaller.
Mars is an older world than ours. Our
neighbor in space shows a state that is
midway between that Of the earth and
the moon. The phenomena we are now
witnessing from far away are only
the last manifestations Of an animation
about to disappear. Slowly, very slow
" time is performing its work. Life
is being extinguished by the cold,
which puts worlds to sleep and gently
carries them into the arms of death.

TvT HEN considering conditions on
M our neighbor planet Mars, you
must always remember that
the years on Mars are almost twice as
long as ours, consisting Of 6S6 days
Each side is therefore exposed 70 the
blessed rays OF the sun for more than
II months a. year, which causes every
trace of snow even at the poles to dis
appear completely.
A very strange climate indeed,
stranger than anyone is apt to think
and the reason is not far to seek
II 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 col
umn OF mercury counterbalancing the
weight OF the air, is about rs cent?
metres.
AS you get into higher attitudes the
pressure rapidly diminishes. At the
top of the Eiffel tower, you will al
ready find a decrease of about three
rentimetres. On the summit OF a noun
tain Of 1900 meters the barometer bare
~ registers 60 centimetres, at 1000
meters, the pressure is about so. At
g height Of five kilometers the barom-
eter registers IS, and at one Of II
kilometers, only 1913 centimetres. This
is the highest altitude ever reached by
any seronaut-
In these regions, the pressure Of the
air is so small that our organism,
used to live at the bottom of the at
mospheric ocean, where it bears to-
tai weight of 16, 900 Kilograms. suffers
great pain Breathing becomes diff
cult, the blood beats against the skin
and tries to burst through, producing
more or less serious hemorrhages, the
fnrr IN
spells are frequent.
Our trial. balloons, invented to test
the atmosphere. have rarely risen to
height Of more than 80 kilometers
and at this distance from the earth the
air Is so rarified that it can hardly be
called an atmosphere.
Altitude is High.
On the planet OF Mars, the usual at
mospheric pressure corresponds to the
one we find at an altitude of about IL
kiiometers 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
such low pressure.
The lightness Of the atmosphere on
Mars has many great effects.
IF we place a glass filled with water
under the bell of an air pump and
gradually diminish the pressure, the
water will evaporate. Tt can no longer
exist in liquid form
And this is what happens on Mars.
During the day the atmosphere fills
with humidity. especially at the poles,
where the rays OF the sun gradually
melt the rather thin layer Of snow. This
humidity slowly spreads through the
parts adjoining, thanks to the regular
trade winds that are blowing
CoU1 L. INT
But when the sun sets, it turns cold,
the heat absorbed during the day rapid
" dissipates by evaporation and the
thermoneter drops to loo degrees be-
low zero in many places. The water Is
then deposited on the surface Of the
planet in the form of boar frost. To-
