Of MARS
SOUGHT BY
SAVANTS
Planet Soon to Reach Its
Nearest Point to Earth.
Believed Inhabited.
ny Cosmopolitan News Service.


Is man, the being who has sub.
dued the earth and striven upwards
from the jungles to partial civiliza.
ton, the only, thinking organism
in the universe?
Or is it possible that far-off
planets support form of life
either more primitive, or else pos.
sessed of a more highly devcloped
intelligence than we of this earth?
From time immemorial men have
been discussing this interesting
question, and with the improve.
lnent Of the radio and other spac.
annihilating inventions, it is to.
day possibly Of more interest than
ever bNfore.
The planet Mars in this connec-
ton, because of its relative prox-
unity to the earth and its peculiar
markings, has been regarded by
scientists and laymen alike as hold
ing the most hope Of revealing life,
II any does exist, far out in space.
Studies of Mars.
But Mars, because it travels
around the sun in a huge ellipse
similar to. but much larger than
that Of the earth. is available for
accurate study not oftener than
every fifteen years when double
favorable oppositions, two years
apart usually occur.
On next August 22nd Mars will
reach this position. 1t will then
be 35,000,0 900 miles distant from the
earth. Astronomers looking through
powerful telescopes, regard this as
relatively small distance.
1t is, in fact, the closest possible
approach of Mars to the earth.
Photography plays a big part in
astronomical study because a
Photographic plate, though less
sensitive than the human eye, can,
with long exposure, reveal faint
outlines otherwise not visible.
Since 1909 when Mars was last
observed in this favorable position,
important advances have been made
in the development of photography.
Scientists Getting Ready.
Thus it is that science is look.
ing forward to August 22nd when
it will be in a better position than
ever before to study our far-off
neighbor.
"A series Oh arLlcleSs setting forth
the views of well-known astrono-
mers Of Lick Observatory on this
popular subject has been prepared
by Cosmopolitan News Service.
What astronomers really know Of
Mars today, what they hope to &C.
complish during this next opposition
and an interesting outline by a
noted biologist Of the probability of
the existence on Mars of a race Of

Cause of Storms

In November, when the lands sur
rounding the Great Lakes get their
first snowfall, and the lake waters are
still relatively warm, the temperature
contrasts which are produced tend
actively to attract and intensity the
passing storms. When the -air to the
northward is abnormally cold, as the
wind sweeps down from that quarter
a storm may assume menacing sever
ity, with heavy gale. extreme cold
and snow, the worst kind of a COM
blnatlon for the seaman. Lake ship
ping suffers. Storms Of the great in
land seas are more disastrous than
those of the open ocean, because there
Is less space for drifting, and because
Of powerful lake currents during gales
which take the ship out Of control.
Also, the fresh lake water is lighter
than the salt water of the ocean and
is, therefore, more easily heaped up
into great waves by strong wind.
When the December gales arrive and
the snowstorms, which continue till
spring, shipping remains safe in port,
for ice closes the lakes to navigation.

Leaving Old Age Behind

President Emeritus Charles w. Eliot
who is now in his ninetieth year, de.
clares that as the years go on he is ap-
parently growing younger, and to
prove his point he tells the following
story:
When he was elected president OF
Harvard he was a young man in his
thirties. During his first year in office
while he was str0lling through Har-
ward Square one evening he passed a
group of freshmen and overheard one
of them say There goes old Eliot
himself"
One night half century later, on
returning to Cambridge from the Bos-
ton symphony concert, he heard a
senior behind him on the subway train
say to his companion. Il wonder
what's keeping Charley up so late to-
night ?o-Youth's Companion.

Isolated mountain villages, who trace

shortly after the conquest of Mexico
~ rortez many Of the subjects Of
lnontezuma were converted to Chris
It,anity. Despite the doctrines of Glenn
orcv and kindness taught them, the
sovagery of the novitiates persisted In
their religious rituals. So staggering
wore their practices of self-f1agelIa-
s,on and torture that the Catholic
church. which had hoped to efface the
azteean institution of human sacrifice,
finally divorced them from the fold.
Since that time, more than hundred
,oars ago. the Penitentes have existed
N independent organization, sponsored
nv no Denomination, but almost COM
pletely unhampered by governmental
action.
The week preceding Easter Is the
one period Of the year when these
neopIe are most conspicuous. The
first days are spent in fasting. The
last ones are spent in Negotiations,
which finally terminate in the cruel
6xion of some one Of the cult chosen
by lot. The congregation of every
Penitente colony meets In the little
village chapel, called the "morada."
After the devotions of Good Friday
are ended the cross-bearer leaves the

CATION.
After attaining the spot fixed for his
execution the victim is strapped TO the
cross with heavy thongs and is raised |
into the air. Ceremonials In charge
of the "Great Brother or "Hermano
Mayor" dispensed with, the .crucified
man, exhausted, but not very greatly
impaired physically, is released from
the cross and goes to his home. 1t is
the belief of the cult that the victim
of the cross has merited reward not
only for himself but also for his par
