1.-THE most rational hypothesis is
that the moon Is world In decline.
Her zenith doubtless colncided with
the date when the earth, now cooled,
was herself little sun, capable of
warming the moon.
I'm this case the moon will have
retained semblances OF vegetation life
only In certain deep craters, which
are probably what Pickering and my
self have observed"
In his report on this phase of his
study Of the moon, which has Just been
published In Popular Astronomy,
scientific publication issued at North
field, MIMI, Prof. Pickering criticIses
astronomers in severe terms for
neglecting the study of the moon, be.
cause Of an improved hypothesis that
1t was lifeless. He emphasized the
fact that Mars is 200 times further
away from the earth than the moon is,
so that other things being equal 200
times as much detail can be seen ON
the moon as on Mars. Prof. Pickering
Is one Of the chief living authorities
on Mars. where he believes that life
exists.
When the moon energies from its
two weeks of darkness and degree
Of cold probably unknown on earth,
the suns light quickly warns up the
fields In the great moon craters, some
of which are many miles across, and
starts. mushroomlike growth of life
there, according to the Pickering
theory. This flourlshes during the
long moon day.
Professor Pickering found canals" |
or runs" of vegetation on the moon,
as on Mars, and was able, because of
the nearness Of the moon. to trace the |
Intricate patterns of growing fields,
as he regarded them.
He did this with an inferior teie-
scope at the Harvard Observatory at
Vaudeville. Jamaica, which location is
Of special advantage In examining the
moon. His instrument, small one, Is
more than fifty years old. His re-
searches are expected to result In
bringing powerful telescopes to bear
IN the moon for the special study of
living things alleged TO be found In the
,raters.

er of Erastosthenes II. which DR..
Pickering made particular object of
tudy, evoked plant life. Nothing in
Dr.. Pickering's report indicated that
hese were cultivated crops. After
describing the appearance of dark
atches, which sprung into existence
nd then faded out. he continued:
Expressing the matter otherwise,
re may say that the vegetation re-
uires two and half days to appear,
lasts for only two days, and then i

rests for three days and then pro-
duces the second crop, lasting for four
days more, which then gradually dis.
appears In the evening shades. We
thus have evidence of variety of
lunar vegetation. The wings of the
northern spot begin to develop as soon
as the sunlight strikes Them"
These periods vary, however in
different forms Of vegetation observed
Crops with different exposures vary
In duration from two to eleven days,
and the average Is about week.
I'm quickness of development" saws
Professor Pickering, "some of 1t even
vies with our mushrooms and toad
stools. The crop has to be brief in
order to. rlpen at all, and 1t is doubt
full II any of II in the region we have
described lasts through the lunar
night"
Telling how dark patches and lines
varied In their positions he continued:
ut thus appears that the runs on
the moon, like the canals on Mars,
shift their positions over the surface.
In both cases the surface dlscoloration
has changed Its place. This cannot
be due to mineral or inorganic forces.
Life therefore, exists on both these
planets"
After describing how fields of vegeta.
hon darken, spread, grow pale and
shrink, DR.. Pickering continued:
This description typifes the changes
constantly occurring in many WELL
defined lunar fields In the course of
their development, changes much more
marked than any occurring on Mars"
Discussing one area of apparent
vegetation, which he calls the South
eastern Field, Professor Pickering
continues:
"We now come to one of the most |
of all the fields of this
crater, because Its changes are not
only very marked, hut, also because
they occur chiefly near the time of the
full moon, so that they can he studied
for several hours continuously"
After describing how the vegetation
varies with different amounts of sun
light. the astronomer says that the
field finally acquires the pattern of a
lobster or crab, with sharply
claws"
Professor Pickering concluded his
lrticle by saying that "Ne do not
Hearty understand the nature Of life
hat Is here described and laid before
'ur eyes upon the moon. yet that very
act only adds to the interest that 1t
inspires In our minds.
Eve find there, a living world at our
cry doors. where life In some re-
poets resembles that on Mars. but is
ntirely unlike anything on our own
world which the astronom-
cal profession In general, for the
asst fifty years, has utterly and syste-
neglected and ignored" /,

lunar vegetation. And he take:
particular pains not to say that there
is intelligent animal life on the moon
One thing Is sure-Professor Pickering
Is one of the greatest living astron.
omers and has been studying the moon
pretty steadily for two years.
WHAT'S more, Camille Flammarion
the famous French astronomer, says
Professor Pickering is probably right,
as he himself has photographed
phenomena on the moon which In.
dicates the existence of vegetation.
Professor Pickering Is now in
Europe. His colleague Professor S. I.
Bailey Of Harvard, says:
Professor Pickering has not as yet
been able to convince many astron-
omers that he is right In his dis
coyerys Of life on the moon. He has
made a prolonged study of the sub
ject with a telescope ut Jamaica and
Is convinced that the markings which
he finds on the moon are caused by
vegetation, but some others think the
markings are shadows. My own attl-
tude is one of doubt.
k"No scientific man has advanced the
theory that there Is intelligent life on
the moon. If there is life, II Is be-
lleved to be a low form. OF course,
no one can say positively that in.
telligent life does not exist there"
professor Pickering Is perfectly
right IN assuming that perfected
optical science will enable astronomers
to make invaluable research bearing
on life on the moon, which until now
has been regarded as glacial world"
declared Camille Flammarion, In
Paris.
