The "vanala" wkkh ff 851 th nark. tmga-dlsUBf aisbod Mars bar atasi th keenest ipterest, have been described by observers as faint lines, becoming finer and stralghter at closer observa tion, following the course of great cir cles, and distributed like a network over the surface of the planet, several ap pear to pass through the same point at which the round unnta -which have be come known as "lakes" are vistblu. Hence, fanciful oletures of Martian "cities1 have been made, located at such junctions, with canals, radiating from central "Dumping stations" to every point or ths compass. Explanations of this "canal" system have been many. Professor Pickering of Harvard argues that, wherever there are two possible reasons ror a tning. it is best to take ths simpler. Hence, ap plying this method on the Martian ca nals, he considers It best to ascribe to them a natural rather than an artificial origin. He has propounded two tneorle First, that th canals are natural vol canic cracks, and second that if they are artificial they are merely trees growing on plains in rows "long bands or vegetstton. . In support of his first theory. Pro fessor Pickering has repeatedly called attention to volcanic cracks, similar In appearance to what hare been- called ''cawtais'' on Mara, which exist In ths Hawaiian Islsnds. In these cracks ther Is vegetation, caused by the steakn rrora tr.a volcanoee. 1 rejected the artificial canal the ory, said Professor Pickering, "because It la Impossible to hav water In the rairala ur lees It Is pumped there.

In an article In a cur rent' magazine- Waldemar Kaempffert, the well-known "Writer on scientific sub jects, speaks ef. th "Martian" thus: Tlew of Martian. "Although we can never hope to see a Martian we are Justified in deducing from the - physical condition of th rlanet and from - its smallness some thing of hi I lie and muscular prowesa, assuming of length, breadth and thick ness.

The proportion of his supporting power to the weight of his body would be about the same as ours, so that It would be no more fatiguing for him to stand than It is for us. "As a machine, however, he would be much mere efficient. Being a creature of three dimensions, and since Martian gravity Is one third of the earth, his muscles would be 17 times ss effective as ours, so that he should do 17 times as much work. - "We must further consider the fact that the smaller gravity of Mars would compel him to spend only one third of the effort fiecesaary upon the earth. Therefore, his effective fores would b, Bt times as great as a man's on oar earth. The canal digging possibilities of a being so constituted would dwarf tne penorrnaoces or a powerful Panama canai steam snoveL Discussion of the "Martians" calls to mind one more the question of ending signals to Mara, which came Into spe- vi j'nunuirnce mat April.
