The secretary Of agriculture has just
signed an agreement with the state of

NO SIGNALS FROM MARS.
Professor Lowell says We Shall Know
More About Planet Soon.

Professor Percival Lowell. the Bos-
ION astronomer. is not in accord with
the statement Of LecouItre. the Swiss
scientist that there is Il series of lu-
miHous apparitions taking place on the
planet Mars. like flashes Of electric
lights, MI turned on at the same time.
which causes him to believe the Mar
tians are trying to signal us. Profes-
sor Lowell attributes these sudden
changes on the surface OF the planet
to peculiar atmospheric changes.
ut is not time yet for the Martians
to signal rs" he says wait a little.
We shan know more about Mars and
its inhabitants in the near future.
Il do not believe that the inhabit-
ants of Mars are signaling to Us. This
Is hardly the time for signaling. What
is seen there may be the snow on the
peaks, and with the alkali there exist
ing the peculiar colors discernibc by
Lecoultre may be traceable to this
However. do not be too confident
about this signaling business. There
is more in Mars than we can imagine,
and rs time goes on greater revelations
will be made"
