THURSDAY, MARCH 16 , 1916 CENTRAL' p OINT HERALD, P L A N E T S AND GRAVITY. TIi* V a st Difference In Conditions Upon M ars a n d Ju p ite r . In an article entitled "Is Mars A live?" iu the Popular Science Monthly W uldem ar K aem pffert describes the possible appearance of a M artian. In speaking of the different conditions prevailing on the planets Mr. Kaetupf- te r t says: “T he bigger the planet on w hich you live, the h a rd e r it is for you to move •bout. If you w ere suddenly tra n sp o rt ed to Ju p iter, the largest of the plan ets, and if you w ere able to live on its sem i molten surface, you would And It h a rd to lift your arm . A steam crane w ould be welcome assistance In mov ing your body about. This is due en tirely to th e enorm ous gravitatio n al a t traction w hich Ju p ite r would exert upon you. T he bigger the planet the h ard er a re you pulled down to its su r face; th e h ard er it is to p u t your foot forw ard. "M are is only one-ninth as m assive as th e earth. H ence you would weigh m uch less on M ars th a n you do on the earth . A M artian p orter could easily c arry as m uch as a terre stria l elephant. A M artian baseball player could bat a ball a mile. A very ordinary M artian athlete could leap w ith ease over a m oderately sized house. Because his planet is not able to pull him down w ith the a ttra c tiv e force th a t the earth ex erts upon us, th e typical M artian has conceivably attain e d a sta tu re th at w e would regard as gigantic. T hree tim es as large a s a hum an being, this creatu re has muscles tw enty-seven tim es as effective. H is tru n k m u st be fashioned to inclose lungs capable of breathing the excessively a tten u ated M artian a ir in sufficiently large q u an tities to su stain life. As a canal dig g e r-a s s u m in g th a t he had no m achin ery — he w ould be a g re a t success, be cause he would excavute a canal with th e speed and efficiency of a sm all I ’au- •m a canal steam shovel. “Beyond th a t we cannot go. Intelli gence is not uecessurily a hum an a t tribute. I t has so happened on this e a rth th a t m an has become the domi n a n t race not because of his physical pow ers, but because o f his brains. It ■ a y well be th a t th e biological condi tions of M ars are such th a t n creatu re eery unhum an in uppearance may have gained the ascendency in the struggle for existence on a plan et th a t is fast drying up.”_______________ AN IN G EN IO U S S N A R E.

A few miles n o rth of th e railroad track is a g reat stre tc h of sand dunes, w hich extends a hundred miles, from G reen river to North P la tte river.

As th e nam e suggests, th e dom inant colors are red—russet, brick red and verm ilion—b u t th ere is every tone of gray and brow n, w ith not a few shades of green, purple and yellow. Unlike the colors of an eastern A m erican lan d scape, those of th e Red desert are not dependent on the season, for th ere is little vegetation to hide th e coloring of th e rooks and soil.
