The Fascinating Puzzle of Mars
By GARRETT P. SERVISS,
RE they digging on Mars, or
A is thers nobody there to
dig”?
The whole question of the ex
istence and of the activities of
those Martian glacts s again
thrown Into the meliting pot by &
recent report of the director of
the British Astronomical Asso
ciation, who expresses the belief
that the “canals” of Mars are op
tieal illusions.
And this repurt comes exactly at
the moment when Peceival Lowell
&t the Fiagstaft Observatory, dn
SOMETHIN’S GOTTA PE DID.

than on Mars. All these are facts
@about which there is virtually no
dispute.
The great question, then, is: “Ia
that earthiike planet inhabited or
not?" Not to take an interest in
that question would be simply
stupld. Granted that we can not
g 0 to Mars—at present; granted
/that we can not even communi
cate with Mars-—-at present; are
those good reasons for feeling no
interest in the question whether
it is an Inhabited world like
ours”?
And as to communication, ws
have made progress In the las:
twenty years which should mnake
us very chary about denying the
possibllity of extending communi
cation anywhere, We know that
the waves of light easily traverse
the great gulf of space, and that
electric waves {o everywhere, and

But this branch of the question
W for the future, Whether we
ever communicate with intelligent

that Columbus had come back re
porting that he had discovered

There we seo the reasons why
Mars i 3 vastly more interesting
than the moon, We find no indi
cations of life on the moon, what
ever life may once have adorped
it. but Mars shows many features
which we know. from our own ex
perience, are associated with the

In whose artificlal construction
Mr. Lowell belleves,
In fact, Mr, Lowell's idea !s
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
vertain seasons thtm the
growth of vegetation, ulated
by the supply of water brought
from the melting polar snows.
It Is & fucul:au theory, for 1t
n:u the :‘mulnt:o.:‘ with nicn'mo
of glgantic engin ng operations
¥oing on there, by means of which
the irrigation Is maintained and
extended,
Now, Mr. Antoniadi, of the
British Assoclation, avers that the
‘oanals” are not. as Lowell as
