MORE NEW CLIFF
 DWELLINGS DISCOVERED

Professor Byron Cummings, who left Salt Lake a number of weeks ago to make an exploration of the cliff-dwelling district in Northern Arizona, returned yester- day with interesting data concern ing new discoveries he made while away. The chief feature of his success on the trip was the dis covery of dwelling of seventy five rooms, never before entered by white men. Speaking of the trip last night, Professor Com mings said
 We found the big dwelling in Segie canyon, which IS south of San Juan canyon. It was so filled with earth and debris which had collected during the years tbat have passed since it was inhabited that we could enter it only with the greatest difficulty. It was in virgin state, and from the fact none of the debris had been re- moved or disturbed we could eaisly tell that it had not been en- tered by white men or by any other race for many years.
 There were seventy-five rooms in the dwelling. We cleared as many of them out as we could, but in some of them the rock roofs had fallen in and the stones were so large that we could not remove them.
 In the rooms we found various kind of pottery and other relics, which we brought to add to our collection. Among the specimens we found one pottery jar contain ing over a bushel of shelled corn.

Odd Facts About Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun, and the nearest to our edith.
 It is called the red planet, and its color is thought to be due to vegetation.
 Its size and density are less than ours, and man weighing 200 pounds here would only weigh seventy-fve pounds there.
 Mars has atmosphere, seasons, land water, storms, clouds and mountains.
 Mars has moons, one of which is only s,7oo miles away and re- wolves around. it in seven and a half hours like shooting star.
 The day on Mars is half an hour longer than ours, and its year contains 687 days.
 Professor Lowell has counted 437 canals" on Mars, and I86 oases." The canals vary in length from 25o miles to 5000 miles,
 A man on Mars would be able to drive a golf ball fifty miles.
 The strength of a man on Mars would be eighty-three times greater than on earth.
 The atmosphere on Mars con sists principally of carbonic acid gas.
 The water supply of Mars is very slender, and its utilization is the greatest problem of life there.
