By Professor F.. NJ Antoniadi.
vt is certain that painstaking observ-
ers are liable to catch glimpses on
- Mars Of narrow, straight lines. Our
sectional data since 1892 establish that
several observers saw these phenomena.
In 1909 Hawks noted many linear mark
ings, but he remarked that the nearer
Mars gets to the earth, these lines seem
to get more and more diffuse" Nangle,
however. records that none of the beau
tiful network of fine lines shown in
SChiaparelli's and LOwell's maps were
even so much as suspected. in spite of
the most careful scrutiny. The question
Of the sO-Called canals" was attacked
by the director with the great telescope
in an open mind. Injured for years to the
fleeing visibility of straight lines on
Mars, it was impossible for him to dis
turb the Milan observations. But the
difficulty Of reCOnciling the canal" phe-
nomena with logic prompted him to
doubt their reality.
Now, glimpses of fine lines we're had
when the image was fiaring in the 80 q
inch, never when it was calm; while
definition without Quivers has revealed
a very complex natural structure Of the
sO-Called "Continental' regions of the
planet. The forty irregular markings
were held steadily at Meudon in the po-
stjons Of some of Schiaparellrs and
Loweil's linear canals" and they
showed such a diversity of appearance

fact, Professor Hale, who had secured at
the time, with the sixty-inch reflector,
the finest negatives ever made of Mars
wrote to the director that the delinea-
tiOns in question were In excellent
agreement" with the Mount Wilson pho
tOgraphs, which, like those Of Dr. Low
ell, thus also showed the planet with the
peculiar appearance recorded in the
81 q inch refraCtOr.
Again, the comparison Of these draw
ings with those of Dr.. Lowell and with
the Flagstaff glass positives leads to the
conclusion that the beautiful photo
graphs of DR.. Lowell disprOve his draw
ings, while confirming those of the di-
rector at Meudon.
a fact so startling betrays the dan
gers Of pressing too closely the argu-
ment of seeing"
In the early part of the observations
an unprecedented paleness rendered al
most invisible the dark spots of the
planet, while the disk instead of being
OChre, presented a characteristic lemon
tinge. This pale yellow color was first
pointed out by the director. The palIor
was obviously due to a cloud of yellow
color, less ochre than the continental"
regions OF the planet. As Mars receives
more heat from the sun at periheliOn
than at apheliOn, in the ratio of Is to l,
the movements in his atmosphere must
be more pronounced in the former case
than in the latter; and the planet ap-
pears to be more yellow in perihelic than
in aphelc appartions.
Now, If we consider:
(a) That Mars was defined in 1903
with the Meudon 80 3 inch as if he we're
from four to sixteen times nearer the
earth than in Schiaparelli's modest Sl2-
inch refraCtOr;
(b) That all the irregularities of the
above markings were held quite steadi-
ly in the large telescope while the
straight lines we're only glimpsed at
Milan
(c) That these irregular markings
obey vigorously the laws of perspective.
while this is too frequenuy not the case
with the lines;
(d) That a real narrow, dark planet
airy line, like Cassinis division in front
of Saturn. is naturally, owing to re-

especially if a draught is produced in
the tube by OUening the door OF the

Another simple matter which Mr. An
tOniadi arranged to his satisfaction was
keeping one eye closed Astronomers
at q telescope find it interferes with their
work to keep open the eye which does
no work and troublesome to keep it
closed. SO he rugged up an old pair of
sp,ctaCleS in the use of which the in
active eye remains open against a black
glass while the other looks through the
eye piece of the telescope through the
empty side of the spectaCle's frame.
When Antoniadi used smaller tele-
scopes than his giant one at Meudon, he
noticed, like other observers, that there
were numbers of narrow straight lines

theory of the canal" fallaCy is thus Que
to Mr.. Maunder, and to him alone On
the other hand. from the observational
point Of view, Mr.. Denning recognized,
in 1886, the real appearance Of the
planet; and the results of the great
Bristol observer have been confirmed
and extended by Professor Young in
1892. by Professor Barnard in 1894. by
NJ. MillOchau in 1893. 1901 and 1898,

Hence, the doubling canals" and

And thus the skepticism regarding
the objeCuvity Of the geometrical net

Maunder, Mr.. Green, Captain Noble, and,
subsequently, by Mr.. Holmes. NJ BiEour-
dan and others, has triumphed over the

1879, when the planet was in favorable
position for observation. He found
number of additional canals which
we're much finer than those he had pre-
viously drawn.
The great interest that was aroused
by the belief that they were built by
hands OF Martians gave an impetus to the
study of these canals that has lasted un-
til today. The Lowell observatory was
especially interested in the canals" and
found many new ones. Professor Lowell
