i true that tlie loiuritudinai stripes wnicn

saw or conceived a system of parallel

possible, of course, but such Btraight

tho principles of cosmogony as wo under

thoy imply a population which almost

volume of the planet is only one-sixth
that of the earth, the diameter being
4,100 miles as against 8.000 miles, thoy
warrant tho wildest conjectures as to the

What manner of man lives in Mars, If
