about which there is virtually no
dispute,
The great question,then, is: “ls

that question would be simply
stupld. Granted that we can not

that we can not even communi

those good reasons for feeling no
interest in the question whether
it is an linhabited world like
ours?
And as to communication, we
have made pro{mu in the last
twenty years which should make
us very chary about denying the
possibility of extending communi
cation anywhere. We know that
the waves of light easily traverse
the great gulf of space, and that
electric waves go everywhere, and

us, one or the other of them going
at our bidding wherever we have
tried to send them.
But this branch of the question
is for the future. Whether we
ever communicate with intelligent
beings on another shore of the
ethereal ocean or not, we, for the
satisfaction of our intellectual cu
riosity, which is one of the indices
of our semidivinity, want to know
whether such beings are there or
are not here,
Life is what interests us, and
wherever we see the slightest in
dications ¢f its existence a thrill
of euflmlt‘ must run through us,
together with a desire to find out
all we can about it. Suppose that
Columbus, after thoroughly ex
ploring America, had returned

liteless. Europe would have turned
its back on the New World and,

But suppose, on the other hand,

There we see the reasons why
Mars is vastly more interesting
than the moon. We find no indi
cations of life on the moon, what
ever life may once have adorned
it. but Mars shows many features
which we know. from our own ex
perience, are associated with the
presence of life,
The “canals” are by no means
the only features of this Kind,
They, in fact. are more or less
mysteriogs and doubtful objects,
It is usdally supposed by those
who are not familiar with the
subject the visible “canals’

are the actual irrigating channels
in whose artificlal construction
Mr, Lowell believes.
In fact, Mr. Lowell's idea Is
that those channels are too small
to be seen with any telescope,
and that the ‘‘canals” are simply
long, narrow bands of irrigated
land which become visible at
certain seasons through the
growth of vegetation, stimulated
by the supply of water brought
from the melting polar snows,
It is a fascniating theory, for it
filis the imagination with plctures
of gigantic engineering operations
going on there, by means of which
the irrigation is maintained and
extended.
Now, Mr. Antoniadi, of the
British Association, avers that the
“canals” are not, as Lowell as
serts, unbroken lines extending
thousands of miles in a great net
work. but that the appearance of

illusion which combines a large
number of separated spots and
the edges of shaded regions into
the semblance of linear objects,
But even if this be so, it does
not contravene the assertion that
these spots never make their ap
pearance until the polar snows
have begun to dissolve and disap
pear in the hemisphere corre
sponding to that in which the
HPOLs are seen.
Mr. Lowell seems (o have wal!
established the fact that these
things are phenomena dependi
upon the seasonal changes whl:{

upon the earth. Even If no more
can be proved than that there
are water and alr upoen Mcrs.‘
enough is thereby established 1o

may be life,
