Mars

IF any plant or creature lives on Mars, ie
] must be quite different from the things on
earth
The nights are very cold as low In tempera-
ture as IL degrees below zero-and breathing
is difficult because the air Is rare. And there
Is scarcity Of water, which we would find
quite unbearable.
More than that, we'd probably feel very
giddy. There IS no strong pull of gravity on
Mars like that on Earth which holds us firmly
and steadily down on the ground. hop and
skip on Mars and one would be soaring
up In the air. and sailing smoothly down again.
BY the help of telescopes, which project our
sight thousands Of miles past the limits Of our
eyes, scientists have seen a network Of what
seem to be canals on Mars. And some men
have believed that this may be proof that peo-
pie have built them. Others say the canals
are really marshes which are flooded with
water when the ice at the polar regions of Mars
melts, and which dry up when it freezes again
This, they say, makes the network look differ
ent at different seasons
Mars Is not 50 near the sun as the Earth
Is, and it Is q small planet. Sometimes as
the planets swing around the sun, it comes
fairly near the Earth-within IS 900 900 miles,
but usually it is more than 60 900 900 miles
away from U.s.
Gradually Mars is drying up. in much the
same way as our moon did; and in . few
million years it will probably be too dry and too
cold for anything possibly to live on its surfacs.

gigantic jgsaw dmosaur for seven years. It
was finished and wheeled up to its place Of
honor in the han of the dinosaurs in 1891.
The most ugsaw-like Of all scientific pux-
xles are the broken dishes that have to be
put together again. Some Of these are found
in humphy- -dumpty state of wreckage that
would seem to defy human ingenuity.
DUT where all the kings horses and all the
u kings men might fall archeologists have
been known to work just little longer and
more ingeniously and to produce almost magic
results. They can't always do it. But some
Of their successes are amazing.
Big water jars found in the ruins of Indian
pueblos In the Southwest are often shattered
in several hundred pieces when found. So
are the big pottery bottles that the Incas Of
Peru used for carrying water. And are vases
from Greece and Egypt
One yellow vase from Crete offered an in-
teresting puzzle picture. There were 86 pieces
to be assembled When the piecework was
done there was a scene Of the realistic writh-
ings Of two octopods graphically depicted on
the curved surface
Some Of the most famous objects in mu-
seums are masterpieces of jigsaw art fitted to-
gether by careful workers.
Take the Portland Vase, sometimes referred
to as the most famous vase in the world. This
fragile glass vase was found in the sixteenth
century. It was removed from Roman tomb.
where it had lain sealed up since the third CEN
tury A. D., and was hailed as one Of the great
treasures Of the age
The graceful beauty Of the vase, rescued
from its dark resting place, was acclaimed.
It was made in cameo technique of two lay
ers of glass.
The outer layer was opaque white. The
layer beneath that was a deep soft blue. The
artist had cut out the white layer, leaving Q
scene in white against the blue background Of
the vase.
In 1856, the Duke Of Portland paid IS, 900
for the vase In ls45. it was .reposing In
state in the British Museum when an insane
man took it into his head to smash the exquisite
work of art to bits.
The blow shattered the Portland Vase into
about hundred pieces Today it is as beau
tiful as ever
Skilled workers patiently gathered up all Of
the pieces, and began the task Of fitting them
together The beauty Of the famous vase today
is the measure of their success.

well grown glyptodon stood as high as an OK.
Scientific puzzlers have been known to put
together q table full of bones and to get the
wrong picture.
It was particularly easy to make mistakes
with the old dinosaurs that lived so many mil
lion years before men inherited the earth No.
body ever saw q dinosaur. Before the dino
saurian bones began to be unearthed. about q
hundred years ago, no human being ever
dreamed that such creatures had existed
Naturally enough, some of the early attempts
at solving the dinosaurs we're funny, even fun
nier than the dinosaurs themselves really look
There was the iguanadon, for example
When the first set Of iguanadon bones was
dug up, quite few parts were missing and
other pieces were pretty thoroughly scattered
QUITTING the iguana6on together wrong was
! an honest mistake. But a German pro-
motor took advantage Of the publics pop-eyed
amazement over the first assembled dinosaurs.
He would show the public something truly
eye-flling!
He gathered up pieces of several fossil ami
mails. Out of the tumble he concocted
ridiculously long -drawn-out monster, and with
this unique beast in tow he toured America in
1s45, exhibiting it as hydrarchus or water
king"
The animal started out to be zueglodon,
one Of the early ancestors of the great whales
But the Snowman had inserted the vertebrae

dining room table, and the result was "a
monster of the sea, ladies and gentlemen, the
actual bones Of an actual beast ia feet long,
from head to tail"
Finally the Museum Of Dresden acquired the
humbug king Of the seas and reduced him to
his proper, but still impressive, length.
One Of the longest animals ever assembled
is the diplodocus, dinosaur automatically IS
feet long. The pieces of this puzzle weighed
almost two TONS
They were, shipped to the National Museum
from the original home of the giant creature In
Utah. The diplodocus, with the appropriate,
plodding name, lived in the United States
about $50 million years ago.
To obtain the two tons of fosslized bones
the museum had to carry off almost SO tons
of rock, in which the bones were firmly em-
bedded Back in the museum laboratories
began the task Of chipping the rock of the
bones. It was a long time before the workers
could even begin laying the pieces in place.

The archeologists found that they could call
down to the Indian worknen who were digging
out buried stones, and say, Look out for q
piece IL inches long with hand carved on it."
And presently an Indian would come up with
the piece And sure enough It would fit.
The same expedition met the puzzle of tte
5000 piece turquoise mosaic.
Here was picture puzzle with . good many
pieces lying in place, SO that the pattern could
be made out. But 1t lay in stone jar, discov-
cred under the temple floor. The wood on
which the mosaic had originally been mounted
was turned to dust. \
How to remove the thousands of tiny pieces
of blue and green stone from the dusty jar and
to set the pattern on a firm backing was a real
problem.
The archeologists of the expedition who had
worked so maste-fully with their giant stone
puzzle blocks, declared that this task
for them. They wired to New York for q
museum expert to come down to solve the
puzzle.
Mosaic of this sort is something for puzzle
fans to examine. The largest Of the turquoise
pieces was less than a third Of an inch square.
The smallest was 1/48th of an inch.
And the stones were sliced very thin, besides.
There were almost no helpful curves and odd
shaped pieces. The stones were mostly rough
squares of different sizes.
With these minute fecks of color the Indian
artists had constructed eight panels, radiating
from the center, ana IN 10ur OF the panels ne
had made prof1les of that popular Mexican
deity, the Feathered Serpent.
THE round bits of red gum for eyes, and the
chunks Of black gum for open mouths,
and the long lines of feathers are about all that
the casual observer would see in the geometric
portraits. But the museum expert had to re-
make those angular gods where the patterns had
broken, and he succeeded.
It is long way, conversationally from q
delicate plaque Of turquoise to q club-tailed
glyptodon. But they are both puzzles of the
mosaic type.
An old glyptodon does not look it, when he
is neatly fitted together and enshrined in glass
case. Nothing could look more solid than a
glyptodon with his low-hung body spiky club
tail and bone blanket. But that same animal
represents thousands of bone pieces, painstak-
ing1y fixed in their proper places.
When dug up-paleontologists first catch
their puzzle and then put them together-a
glyptodon's fossil bones have an exasperating
way Of scattering. So there is nothing to do
except gather up the pieces and ship them back
to the laboratory and there asse mble the beast.
The shell alone is made OF thousands of lit

Verse 80. The apostles returned to
Christ to make their report. They had
tau, hit and healed, as Hesys commits
stoned them, and by common consent,
as they gathered themselves together
to compare notes and to submit their
reports to the Master.
Verse 81. The disciples needed rest
and they render care Of Christ for them
they suggest repose after their fati-
guing work, so lie suggested they
come away into a desert place, or a

Verse 50. They did not cross the sea,
but making a coast wise voyaCle, they
came to the desert of Bethsaida.
Verse SO. There were doubtless
other ships on the sea, but the people
watched the one in which Jesus and
His disciples were. When they saw In
which direction it was going, they
followed on the shore.
Verse 50. Jesus was not displeased
bcause they disturbed Him when He
desired privacy, but looked upon them
with compassion. They were to Him
as sheep without shepherd.
Verse IS. They day was drawing to
a close and the people had nothing to
eat. Knowing this, the disciples became
concerned; and reminded Jesus that
it was late.
Verse So. The disciples thought Of
the multitude, knowing they needed
something to eat, so they asked Jesus
to dismiss them, in order that they
might 90 into the cities and villages
and procure for themselves food.
Verse 81. Jesus spoke to them as If
this multitude were their guests and
it was their duty to provide food for
them.
Verse So. Jesus wanted to know how
much they had. Five loaves and two
fishes constituted the bill of fare.
Verse So This great multitude, who
had become the guests Of the master
were orderly seated upon the ground
Verse 40. They sat down in groups
of hundreds and fifties. This made it
easier for them to be served.
Verse Al. He blessed the bread and
fish and by virtue of this blessing the
small amount of food was strangely
multiplied. To each disciples He gave
