The possible existence of life on the
planets has lately been discussed in
a most interesting manner by Ameri-
can astronomers. This Is summary
of the conclusions of three scientists
upon the question:
1t Is considered that the existence
g. a high form Of life on the moon,
Jupiter. Saturn, Mercury, Uranus or
NEPTUNE, is extremely improbable. Al
though Venus greatly resembles the
earth. IT is generally believed by
astronomers that the day and the year
of the planet are OF equal duration. In
that case no life can exist upon It.
Concerning Mars, astronomers are moi
agreed as TO whether the much-dls-
cussed markings are canals or mere
" earthquake cracks. There are no
permanent bodies Of water on the plan
et. The best that can be said is that
although the temperature on Mars Is
very low, there may be on the planet
10 limited extent, the conditions es'
sential to life probably only vegetable
and iow-order animal life, but no be
ings of intelligence.
