to turn toward the sunlight. These
eyes bear a close resemblance to
human eyes and it has been proved
by photography that they receive
ines of objects which lie in their
range of vision.
These facts indicate the posi-
bilities of vegetable Intelligence.
Ages ago, according to the newly
advanced theory, all life on Mars
took the vegetable form. Animal
races then existing were con-
sciously or unconsciously absorbed
into the vegetable races.
The vegetable life, possessed OF
true intelligence, then evolved into
one organic whole in order to OBJ
tain the greatest advantage from
the limited means of sustenance.
Life on Mars is now one vast in
tellect supported by a vegetable
body having it's roots in the soil.
Such a conception of life osembles
the vast being into which the Budd.
hists say all men will be absorbed.

basis that the MartIans are octopus-
Ike creatures, without bony struc.
ture. but possessed of highly devel-
oped brains. A common assumption of
many spectators has been that
the Martians are extremely at
tenuated creatures. because the
slight pressure of gravity on the
surface OF the planet would favor
this form.
Now new and exceedingly inter.
esting theory concerning the life
on Mars has been put forward by
Professor William Wallace Camp
bell, Of the great Lick Observatory,
California. He suggests that all
life on Mars has taken a vegetable
form.
This theory is one Of the most
plausible that has been put
forward. 1t has the support Of all
the facts about Mars that have been
sclenJihCaIy established and il
aFoias many of the improbabilities
involved in other theories ON the

the ''Canals,' eyes" and Other Puz-
cling Problems of Our Neighbor Planet

But there are some plants on
earth which do possess a kind of
nervous system, and it is quite
reasonable to believe that they
would have developed an intelli-
gence at least equal to that of man
if conditions had been favorable.
Such conditions have prevailed on
Mars. Chief among tn an is an at.
mosphere very favorable to plant
life and very unfavorable to animal
life.
There are on the earth many
carnivorous plants which though
Enthusiastically vegetable in form pos
sess many of the powers of animals.
These plants include the butcher
plant, pitcher plant, the sundew,
the butter wort and many other
forms. They range from plants
that eat insects to those that are
capable of devouring birds and
small mammals.
The pitcher plant, for instance, has
a heavy flesh leaf ten inches long.
With the spiked point of the leaf
it strikes rat, numbing 1t with
the poison 1t contains. Then the
leaf folds over the animal and it is
absorbed into the body of the plant
and digested.

ed. Here we may
note one of the
strongest arguments in favor OIL 'ue
vegetation theory of life.
Professor Lowell has argued 'naI
the canals of Mars, first discovered
by Professor Schiaparelli, of Milan
but long considered optical Illusions
by many astronomers, are the IT.
rigation works of the inhabitants.
The canals are singularly artlnclai
in appearance. They extend toward
the equator from the poles ana
cover the planet like fine netting
Each canal is the shortest dls'
lance between two points and In
variably runs to a point called an
oasis" where it meets other canals
not in haphazard fashion, but &C
cording to some plan.
The canals" vary in length from
$50 miles to over 3,OOO
miles, a length that is astonishing
when it is considered that the
diameter of Mars is only APO
miles. All told, Professor Lowell
has plotted 437 of these canals and
1856 GASES 1t was Professor Pick
ering. a close associate OF Professor
Lowell, who first saw these GASES
The canals of Mars appear and
disappear with the seasons. In
other words they slowly creep down
from the poles each Spring and
slowly retreat with the approach of
Winter. If the canals are artificial
in origin, this phenomenon would
appear to mean that the Martians
are busily engaged in digging stu
pendous canals, only to fill them up
again every year.
Professor Pickering ingeniously
avoided this embarrassing conclu.
sion by pointing out that we see
not the canals themselves. but the
vegetation which fringes their
banks and thus indicates their
course. Vegetation must grow be.

Here we can see why the theory

other. Professor Pickering admits
that the signs of life we see are
vegetable, but suggests that the,

n MRS is the nearest planet to
lAE MS. the one which we can see
v Z the most plainly and the
first one which we shall be able
to visit when science makes
journey beyond our atmosphere
possible.
Mars, moreover, is proved by as
tronomy to possess air atmosphere
and to be capable of supporting
life in some form.
These facts make it natural that
scientists and writer's should specu.
lat upon the character of the life
upon Mars. II must a yet be spec
ulaliOu, for our means of seeing
only enable us to distinguish OBJ
lects several miles in extent upon
the planet.
Many interesting theories about
the life of Mars have been put
forward, but all of them have been
open TO some objection. Professor
Percival Lowell, of the Flagstaff
Observatory in Arizona, has argued
that the so-called canals OF Mars are
vast engineering works, and con,
sequently that the inhabitants who
= built them We're of great intellectual
development. The scientific novel
ist, II. G. Wells. has built an ex-

bright orange colored forms. AS the
heat departs these forms die down
and hide their life in the soil till
the following season. This pro-
duces the appearance of "canalsn
to us. The reason these canals have
such a regular form is that the
vegetation follows the lines OF reg.
ular cracks which occurred in thu
crust Of Mars when it was dryina
up.
The vast intellect of Mars is oc.
cupied with the problems of gain.
ing subsistence from the dying
planet and then with Investigation
of the Ooundless universe that lies
within its sight.
The white spot which we some.
times see on Mars is not a pile of
snow, but really an "eye." Sup-
ported on a tenuous flexible trans
parent column, 1t can raise itself
miles above the surface of the
planet and watch the operations of
its vegetable body at any point.

Before considering this theory
further, we must bear in mind

tains. 1t also rains and SHOWS on
Mars, as it does with us. Great
white patches appear peric Ideally
upon It's surface. These may be
accumulations Of snow and they
have also been called eyes" Their
nature will be discussed later.
When Mars approaches nearest m
the earth 1t is seen to have a bright
red color and sometimes looks like
red lamp in the sky. 1t has been
suggested that the vegetation for
the most part is yellow or orange
instead of green. as with us. thus
giving the planet its color.

after they were first observed. They
continued to do so until photographs
were taken of the canals. The
shifting of the "eye" on Mars, al.

may very possibly have been due
to movement on a transparent
neck, as described here, tho neck

The EYE" exercises the functions
of watching climatic conditions all
over it's vegetable body, of sending
help to parts in need and of con.

great central intelligence. This
vegetable body possesses the power
of distributing strength to its varf
Gus parts and of devising new
means OF extracting nourishment
from the soil and atmosphere.
When not engaged in watching the
physical condition of it's body, the

Something broadenin' to set him
thinkin' how he oughter act,
Something strengthenin' his charac-

And he oughter get right busy now

So fer him a season ticket I've made
up my mind to buy

She needs something that will broad
