Moon Also Observed. SAN JOSE. Cal.. Sept. 14Dlreotor W. W. Campbell, of Lick Observatory, who announced several days ago the result of his discoveries regarding the atmosphere on the planet Mars and who has Just returned from Mount Whlttney, the htehest point of land in the United States, where his observations were made, has completed a synopsis of the data secured by the expedition. Direc tor Campbell In his report says: "It had for its purpose a study of the question of water vapor in the atmos phere of the planet Mars. The obser vations made on the nights of Septem ber 1 and 2 were mainly photographic. "The observer of Mars must look up through the earth's atmosphere, and the great quantity of water vapor in our at mosphere, if the observer is near the sea level or at an ordinary altitude, blots out the effect of any martian vapor, making a solution of the problem im possible. Dry Air on Mountain Top. "By ascending Mount Whitney, altl tude 14,S0 feet, the Crocker expedition placed itself above probably . four-fifths or more of the earth s water vapor. Fur ther, the air on Mount Whitney was as tonlshly clear during the time of the ob servations. With barometer 174 Inches, air temperature 29 degrees Fahrenheit and wet thermometer 17 degrees, students of the atmosphere will recognise that the observers of Mars were looking through remarkably little terrestrial water vapor. "Then this small quantity would be al most fatal to success if we did not have a fairly satisfactory method of elimi nating its effects, as follows: "Our moon has no appreciable at mosphere. The lunar and martian spec tra will be affected alike by the water vapors in the earth's atmosphere. These spectra are photographed, one imme diately after the other, while the condi tions in our atmosphere are good and with the moon and Mars at the same altitude above the horison. so that tlirtr rays traversed equal paths in our at mosphere. If the vapor bands in the martjan spectrum are found to be stronger than in the lunar spectrum. Mars has water vapor In considerable quantities. If the bands In the two spectra are equally strong, water vapor on Mars does not exist tn sufficient quantities to be detected by the spec troscopic method. Uttle Water Vapor on Mars. "The latter condition was found to exlrt. Both spectra were photographed when Mars and the moon were near the horizon. Again when they were at medium altitudes and finally when they were 49 degrees above the horizon. The best vapor band, technically called little A." was faint In both spectra when the bodies were low, fainter when the bodies were higher and very faint when the bodies were at their highest, but for equal altitudes the 'little A' bands on the martian lunar spectra were equally in tense, plainly signifying that the observed bands were due to water vapor in the earth's atmosphere above the sum mit of Mount Whitney. May Be Iiife on Mars. "This does not mean that Mars has no water vapor, but only that the quan tity present, if any, must be very slight. Let us recall that we see Mars by re flected sunlight. The rays which reached our Instruments passed from the sun Into the martian atmosphere .for the most part down to the surface of the planet and then out again to us, thus passing twice through to the planet's at mosphere and any water vapor It may contain. Then, with this multiplying on Mars the vapor bands in the martian and lunar spectra were alike, and we con cluded that any water vapor in the martian atmosphere must have been much less extensive than was contained in the ratified and remarkably dry air atrata above Mount Whitney. "These observations do not prove that life does not or cannot exist on Mars. The question of life under these condi tions is the biologist's problem rather than the astronomer's."

B., July 22, 1903. The Aeolian Co. . Gentlemen : Just a line before starting North in Tesrard to the beautiful Pianola Piano which, through the generosity of my friend, H. H. Benedict, I purchased for the "Roose velt.'' ' , ,t The compactness of the instrument makes it seem not out of place even in the contracted quarters of an Arctic ship and the few moments which it has been possible to spare to it thus far satisfy me that it will be one of the most potent aids to the enjoyment of the members of the expedi tion during the "Great Night" of the Arctic regions. Very sincerely yours, 3 R. E. PEARY, This letter from Commander Peary was written on the eve of his departure upon the expedition prior to the present one. How fully his anticipations of enjoyment were realized is shown by several enthusiastic references to the Pianola Piano in his hook, ' ' Nearest the Pole. ' ' Among other things he say s : "At times the days seemed to rush by with the velocity of the flood-tide past Sheridan; at others, they were as tardy as if moored to a rock. At all these times, the Pianola Piano, Mr. Benedict's splendid gift, was invaluable, soothing and lightening many an hour and sending me back to my work refreshed and with new energy." In setting out upon his present trip, which has resulted in placing the American flag at the North Pole, Peary not only took the Pianola Piano with him again, but also added to his previous collection of music a hundred rolls of the latest and j oiliest selections. There are homes in the West today which are just as des titute of music as 'though they were shut in by the Arctic ice. The presence of a Pianola or a Pianola Piano will work a com-' plete revolution 'in such households and give as. much pleasure as the instrument did to Commander Peary during his waits of months among the icebergs of the Northern seas.
