The great question, then, is: “ls

those good reasons for feeling no
interest in the question whether
it is an Inhabited world like
ours?
And as to communication, we
have made progress in the last
twenty years which should make
us very chary about denying the
possibility of extending communi
cation anywhere, We know that

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
ethersal ocean or not, we, for the
satisfaction of our intellectual cu-
Hosity, which is one of the indices
of our semidivinity, want to know
whether such beings are there or
are not here,
Life s what interests us, and
wherever we see the slightest In
dications of its existence a thrill
of curiosity 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
with proof that it was entirely
lifeless. Burope would have turned
its back on the New World and,

its existence.
But suppose, on the other hand,
that Columbus had come back re
porting that he had discovered
simply Indications of life in Amer
ica. then Europe would never
have rested until it had found
out whether that life actually ex
isted and what it was like, .
There we seo the reasons why
Mars s 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 :fy no means
the only features this kind.
They, In fact, are more or less
mysterfous and doubtful objects,
It is usually supposed by those
who are not famitlar with the
sublect that the visible “canals’

are the actual irrigating channels
in whose artificlal construction
Mr. Lowell believes,
In faect, 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
nmfi 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 & fascniating theory, for it
fills the imagination with pletures
of gigantic engineering operations
going on there. by means of which
the irrigation Is maintained and
extended.
Now, Mr. Antoniadi, of the
British Assoclation, avers that the
“cunals” are not, as Lowell as
serts. unbroken lines extending
thousands of miles in a great net
work, but that the appearance of
such lines i# produesd by a visual
