and the relative changes in the in
tensity OF light. heat. etc. produced
by the succession of seasons is the
same as upon the earth. Each
hemisphere OF Mars. In turn. has
winter and summer. spring and au-
tumn. and the difference OF climate
between winter and summer is the
same there, broadly speaking. as It
Is here. From this It follows again.
that whatever effect upon the vital
energies of the Inhabitants OF the
earth is produced by the alienation
OF winters cold and summers heat.
virtually the same effect must be
experienced on Mars.
go Mars has an atmosphere
which, though much rarer than that
OF the earth. evidently resembles
It in constitution since II contains
watery vapor which visibly con-
denses into snow during the cold
seasons. and, by absorbing solar
heat. turns back again into liquid
water and vapor In the warm sea-
sons.
