MARS STUDY SEE
STRANGE SIGHTS
Heat Conditions Are

BY MAGNER WHITE
written for the United Press)

LOWELL OBSERVATORY. Flag
staff, Ariz., Aug. 2l.-Heat condi-
tions of Mars are vastly different
from the conditions previously sup
posed to exist there, it has been re-
vealed in special studies made at
Lowell observatory here.
Using specially designed instru-
ments that reacted directly to heat
reflected from the planet, the scien-
fists found a state Of affairs not at
all inhospitable to organic life.
These results are in conflict with
those obtained from mathematical
computations.
From this the scientists at Lowell
observatory infer certain unknown
or imperfectly known factors gov
ern the temperature of the planet.
In no other way can they explain
the discrepancy between the instru-
ments and the theoretical computa-
ti0ns.
The investigations reveal that,
contrary to prevailing belief, the
mean temperature of Mars, instead
of being below freezing is probably
much above that point. m ..gs
