~ NE very interesting OBSERVE
ton, at least, has been
~ made upon Mars during
the present opposition-it looks
as though the ruddy-faced planet
had just been having q cold time.
1t should be remembered that
each of Mars seasons IL nearly
twice as long as the correspond
ing season on the earth, because
of the greater length of Mars
year, which Is 6S7 days, or near
ly % Of our months.
The spectacle Of Mars seasonal
changes is not confined to the
moment of actual opposition, but
continues for many months, be-
fore and after that critical point.
So the astronomers who make a
speciality Of the study Of Mars,
began their. observations last
spring. when the Marian winter,
in the planets southern henais-
phere. was in full blast, and at
the beginning Of June Autoniadi
of the Meudon observatory found
that the south polar snow cay
was enormously developed, hav.
ing a diameter Of so degrees.
whereas usually It's maximum dla-
meter hardly exceeds so degrees.
This could only mean, II it il
really snow that blankets the
Marian poles-which can hardly
be doubted--that that planet had
been experiencing the rigors Of
an extraordinarily severe winter.
But apparently rapid fluctua-
tons Of temperature were being
encountered, such as we on the
earth are not unacquainted with

But as the spring sun came up

A Veterans PrOteSt-=-
1t Comes From County Mayo Man.

Here is letter from veteran disabled and informed by
the Government that the compensation given to him. small
enough at best, is cut from $50 to $45 month.
The Washington Times knows nothing about the Mr. Blake
who mentioned in this letter Presumably he is merely
doing his duty in carrying out orders when he sends out
notices.
It seems that $50 is little enough to pay man who has
sacrificed his health for his country and lost his chance to
make good living

frigid winter on Mars may have
more tragic significance than On
our more favored planet.
In connection with ehis cold
winter on Mars, it may be re-
called that within the past few
years there have been indications
OF temporary failures by the sun
to furnish his average dole Of ra-
diant energy to his planets.
If this should both increase and
become chronic, there would sure
