SNOW FALLING AT ISIDIS.
 MARS, SAY ASTRONOMERS

believed they had been constructed and were not simply cracks in the surface of the planet.
 Professor Percival Lowell erected an observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, ! many years ago and commenced a , systematic observation of Mars. More than 10 years ago he startled the world by expressing his belief that Mars was inhabited by intelligent organisms living in a civilization much farther advanced than ours.
 The canals, he said, were really big ditches bringing water from the poles to irrigate the rest of the planet The ochre red areas on the surface of Mars, he asserted, were deserted, were deserts or fallow fields which became bluish green as>the water flowed along the canals in the seasons.
 the bluish green area, denoting land springing to life with the coming of the water, spread down the northern hemisphere along the borders of the canals to beyond the equator of the planet and then gradually turn red dish brown with the waning of the season. The water, he claimed, was from ice melting on the polar caps of the planet.
 Other scientists took the opposite point of view. Some said the canals were only cracks in the surface of the planet filled with sand, impregnated with salts of various kinds, which be- came dark or light to the observer according to it's moisture content. The temperature on Mars, they said, was too cold to support life of any kind.
 Lowell retorted that his observa- tions showed that the average temper ature of Mars is AT degrees Fahren- heit. The regularity of the canals; their even spacing; the accuracy with which they made great circle such as navigators employ on a curved sur face thousands of miles in extent; the manner in which some of the canals were paralleled at certain points and the regularity of the space at the in- tersections all testified, he asserted, to the artificial nature of the canals and justified the belief that they were made by scientific organisms of high intelligence.
 More than 800 canals and cases, as Lowell claimed the spots to be-, have been mapped out and their names are so well known that Harvard Observa- tory announced last April that snow had been observed falling at Isidis in the district of Syrtis Major, Mars. It was held by some that the canals had been developed to signal the earth which must appear to the Martians as of immense size, being nine times big ger than Mars.
 With the development of wireless telegraphy several attempts have been made to get into communication with Mars with high-powered appa- ratus. Signor Marconi gave encour- agement to that field of research re- gently, when he announced that in the course of experimenting he had picked up a signal with wave length of
The Coconino sun., 1921-10-21

150,000 meters, about six times as long as any commercial apparatus in use today. Marconi said the letter V had been repeated several times in international code. He suggested that possibly the inhabitants of Mars were trying to get into communication with the earth.
 Two engineers of Omaha devoted two weeks of their time recently to listening for signals from Mars. They kept their apparatus tuned to catch such message as Marconi described but heard nothing.
 Controversy has run high over the bold proposal of Messrs. B. McAfee and Todd. A mine shaft in the Chilean Andes, which will point direct ly at Mars in 1924, will provide the barrel of their telescope, then an- nounced, and a big pan of mercury revolving at high speed in the bottom will provide the mirror. The two Am ericans calculate that the surface of Mars will be magnified at least 25,- 100000 times, bringing it within a few miles of their cameras.
 The mine shaft will be widened to 30 feet in diameter and sheathed. The pool of mercury at the bottom will be revolved at such high speed that it will assume concave shape and be- come a mirror. The depth of the fortunately placed shaft is so great that there will be sufficient luminosity, the two scientists said, to enable them to take snapshots instead of time ex- posures.
 The Goddard proposals for aerial investigation also includes use of cameras. To summarize his principle, the determining factor of the efficiency of secret is the velocity of the ejec- ton of gases due to the explosion of propelling material. By increasing this velocity, through increasing the proportion of the propelling material to weight of projectile and through a greatly improved nozzle shaped pass age for the escape of gases, Profess or Goddard claims to have raised the efficiency of the rocket to nearly GA per cent.
 Many investigators are convinced that life exists on Mars and expect to prove it with the novel telescope. What they will find on their photo- graphic plates is the object of specu- lation by scientific men the world over.
 Lowell has said that Mars is level and uninteresting with no mountains and only few dried-up beds of shall low seas to diversity it's topography. More than one-haf of it is desert land and the rest is only green when the canals are bringing water from the polar ice caps. Dust storms which blot out hundreds of square miles of the planets surface from the view of scientific observers sweep over it's equatorial section.
 The physical conditions of Mars are entirely different from those we know on earth. The force of gravity exerted by Mars is only three-eighths that of the eartb while the atmospheric pres sure that is about 15 pounds to the square inch at sea level on our world is less than four pounds on Mars.

FURTHER GAINS PREDICTED
 FOR KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS

Based on the gain in individual membership and the number of lodges of the Knights of Pythias during the calendar year 1920, the next annual gathering of the order will show an- other gratifying increase, it is said. An interesting fact being pointed out by grand lodge officers of the Knights of Pythias is that the financial de- velopment of the order is keeping pace with its numerical growth.
 The assets of the grand and sub- ordinate lodges combined showed re- markable increase during last year, while the great sum of S1 ,766,211 was paid out by subordinate lodges for re- lief. Other figures suggesting the fin ancial scope of the order include $5,- 097,000 in current expenses for the lodges and $1,088,000 in permanent investments.

New York.-Rocket, radio, or cam era--which will be first to lay bare the secret of Mars?
 Of course it isn't at all certain that any one of the three will prove a sue cessful Sherlock Holmes of the skies but scientists, lured on by an age-old curiosity concerning our neighboring planets, are pressing along all three paths.
 The latest development to set the scientific world again agog over the old question of whether there was life on Mars was the announcement from Paris of B. McAfee, American scient- ist and Professor David Todd, Amen- can astronomer, that they purposed to snap-shoot the planet by using an abandoned mine-shaft in Chile as the barrel for a telescope.
 Only short time before Signor Marconi, of wireless fame, had put a kick of interest in the most fantastic of scientific inquiries by suggesting that radio signal of 150,U00 meters which he had picked up might have come from some Martian armed with mammoth sending set.
 But it was left to Professor Robert H. Goddard of Clark College in Wor- cester, Mass, to suggest making an investigation of the moon by means of multiple-charge, high efficiency rocket, capable of carrying cameras or other recording apparatus needed to explore the unknown regions of the upper air. As the claim was made that a rocket could be constructed of unlimited cruising power, it has been suggested that it might be shot up to Mars instead of the moon, which many scientists affirm is uninhabited. One or two daring individuals even have volunteered to be shot up in place of a camera.
 The possibility that some folk might be wandering up and down the valleys of Mars has excited the cur iosity of astronomers and laymen throughout all the ages for Mars Is the nearest planet to the earth and the easiest to observe.
 Imaginative writers took their read CTS on trips to the moon and laid the scenes of their stories in the surround ings of Mars, Saturn and other plan cts but there was little scientific knowledge to furnish basis for such fiction.
 The perfecting of the high powered telescope and the adoption of photog- raphy to the uses of the astronomers quickened their interest in the possi- bility of life on another world. Mars, which was seen to have large areas of bluish green and other areas of an ochre red, with patches of white at the poles, was believed by many as- tronomers to be capable of supporting life in some form.
 Schiaparelli, an Italian astronomer, announced in 1871 that he had found the surface of the planet scared by many lines which were perfectly straight and seemed to have some system like vast engineering works. He called the lines canals and said he

PROHIBITION
 COSTS MANY MILLIONS

Enforcement of prohibition through out the country cost the government S6,250,005 during the last fiscal year, it was revealed in statement given out at prohibition headquarters.
 Statistics compiled from the records in Washington showed that the expen- allure was offset by assessments in- volving civil penalties, speclal taxes, etc, of $53,296,998, of which only S2,152,378 was collected. The value of seized property was appraised at $10,- 906,6S7. Several million dollars ad- ditional, it was said, will acrue from fines being compiled. Salaries and travelling costs comprised the chief items of expense in enforcing the law.
