From drawing by Percival Lowell Globe of Mars, longitude 270°, 1909. Dr. Lowell has discovered that the canals of Mars wax and wane, have what appears to be a "live" and a "dead" season. They are thought to be strips and oases of vegetation sustained by the waters of melting solar snow-caps, distributed through canals constructed by intelligent beings Observatory, that not only does Mars have an atmosphere, although less dense than the earth's, but that it contains the essential life-supporting substances, oxygen and water-vapor. Photographs by Mr. C. O. Lampland taken with the great reflecting telescope of forty inches aperture, at the Lowell Observatory, show star clusters contain- ing almost countless suns similar to our own, but so distant that their light travels hundreds of years to reach us; as well as examples of the different classes of nebulae presenting unique and interesting forms. Also, photo- graphs of our moon show clearly the great craters many times larger than any on the earth, and mountains which rise to a height of ten thousand feet or more. ^Yhat has created most interest, how- ever, are the non-pareil photographs of the Martian canals — the possible in- genious handiM'ork of intelligent beings. These peculiar markings characteristic of )\Iars only, were first detected in 1877, by the eminent Italian astronomer, Schiaparelli. Because of similarity of
