while the northern snow cap on Mars
was receding, during the advance OF
the last Marian spring. in its northern
hemisphere. a dark area south Of the
snow became conspicuous. At first It
was $50 miles long. Within two days
its length had increased to 500 miles,
and within another two days to about
a thousand miles!
This strange area had blush color,
and a shiny surface" suggesting that
it was covered with water formed by
the melted polar snow But Prof. Pick
ering thinks that it was more probably
a vast marsh.
The most original suggestion Of
fered by Prof Pickering is that the
atmosphere of Mars is remarkably
foggy, and that, owing to the general
flatness of the surface, without hills
and mountains, the fog may be local
lied at night in selected regions, I'M
der artificially produced conditions
Cprobably of an electral nature), so
that its moisture may stimulate vege-
tation, in the absence Of a sufficiency
of water in the soil.
The general result Of these observa-
lions is to strengthen the argument
for the Availability Of Mars, although
it yet remains for some sharp eyed
astronomer Of the future to catch a
glimpse of some unquestionable sign,
or signal, indicating the actual pres
ence of inhabitants.

omers, and Prof Pickering is among
them, are disposed to think that the
answer should be in the affirmative.
Prof. Pickering's monthly reports, as
have said, resemble weather bulletins.
This is because they are mostly con-
fined to phenomena on Mars. which ap-
pear to be connected with the chang
ing state of its atmosphere. It is dit
ficult to resist the conclusion that
many Of the objects whose appearance
was recorded by the. observer were
really clouds floating in the atmos-
phere Of Mars. These are seen mostly
along the limb, or edge, of the globe
of the planet, where the eye ranges
through a greater thickness OF atmos-
phere, and Prof. Pickering arrives at
the conclusion that the proposition of
watery vapor in the atmosphere Of
Mars is greater than in that of the
earth This would have an important
effect in modifying the low tempera-
ture to which Mars is subjected in con-
sequence of its great distance from
Nhe sun-141, 600, 900 miles as against
92.0O0,000 miles for the earth.
But, while his observations lead to
the conclusion that the amount of the
vapO- of water in the atmosphere OF
Mars IS relatively great, they also show
that tia quantity Of liquid water upon
the planet is very small Yet there ap-
pears to be enough to produce some
remarkable phenomena. For instance,

The Potato
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of AT Good Old SiwRsh.'

1HE. potato is an transformations
and bumpy growth attached to
= the roots of a small plant which
is a paradise for bugs.
Nothing is less attractive than po-
tato field which has lost the bloom Of
youth and is ready for the harvest ex-
cept the potato itself Nature wasted
no time in making the potato hand
some. 1t is as shapeless as a man with
a 81 inch waist line, and when it was
first introduced into europe people re-
fused to eat it until a law was passed
forbidding them to do so.
BY this means the potato was made
very popular food and the world was
removed several PAGES farther from
starvation. The passage Of this law
marks the highwater mark Of states
manship. If we would pass law IN
this country compelling every citizen
to drink and gamble at least four
hours a day temperance would sweep
over the country like wave and large
numbers of smooth gentlemen IN flaShy
clothes would look up the word work
in the dictionary.
The potato in spite of its dumpy and
ill-bred appearance is stuffed full of
nutriment and can support man almost
undlueQ- II flldo pLdGNACdAAy nam GIN "a
Ireland for the last century. Still the
government of New York should not be
blamed on the potato.
The potato is a present from the new
world to the old. Spanish explorers
found it in Chile and brought it home
with them. It is much more highly APP
preciated in Europe than in America,
for Germany raised 1,500,00O,000 bush
els of potatoes a year while we Wr1ggle
along with about S5O,0O0,0 600 bushels
and curse profoundly when called upon

to deposit a dollar for a small sack Of
the same.
For this reason we should look to
Germany and other European nations
with considerable respect. If Germany
had to depend upon wheat, rye and
barley in the present war she would
be in the bread line by spring. But each
German has % bushels of potatoes laid
away in a cool, dry place, and he should
cOrrugate his brow with care.
Potatoes are raised in light sandy
soil which isn't good enough to pro-
dUce corn. They bring from so cents
to 81 a bushel and with intelligence
400 bushels can be raised to an acre.
But we prefer to raise 40 bushels of
81 wheat and to pay so cents for a
dish of disguised and maltreated pota-
toes at a good restaurant 1t some
times seems as if what this country
needed is not dollars but sense.

1.-THE old mystery of the planet
Mars is made to appear in a new
Il form by the series Of observa-
lions which Prof. William H. Pickering
has been publishing from month TO
month during the yea 1914. Prof. Pick
ering has made his telescope studies
of the ''ruddy planet" at the Jamaica,
West Indies, station of tie Harvard OBJ
servatory, where the atmospheric con-
dftions are extraordinarily favorable
for astronomical observations.
When you consider the fact that Mars
rotates on its axis in almosS exactly
the same period that the earth does
(about "a hours), giving it days and
nights like ours, and that it has the
same succession of seasons that We
have except that they are each nearly
twice as long as ours lowing to the
greater length Of Mars's year, or time
of revolution around the SUM, you
naturally conclude that Mars is a hab-
table world, whose inhabitants may
not be very different in physical make
up from ourselves.
Is There Life on Marss
Now, the whole question is there Do
these major resemblances between
Mars and the earth warrant US in con-
