Ale there inhabitants on Mars? That's a i|ues
ti'di on which scientists differ.
Among scientists who have won the right to
speak with authority the foremost was the late
I infessor Lowell, direct nr of t In* observatory at
I-Itigsiiilf. Arlr. Not only w as Professor Low ell
convinced flint Mars was Inhabited, hut lie be
lieved the people nail a much higher degree of
Intelligence than tr.ose on earth, lie dwell par
ticularly on their inventive genius.
In IHM lie fiaiml a new <>p|Hirlunity for sireagth

losing any of their canals the Martians had built
two new ones, which could he seen plainly thlnugli

importance ol it can hardly he overestimated. The
.........unenon transcends any natural law, anil is
only' »-xplieahle so far as ran he seen hy the |ir«'s
ence nut yonder of atllimite will."
Professor Lowell had little* to say about the
.............. of tin- beings on Mars. Kdumud Per
rier, director of the museum of the Jardin des
Plantes. In Purls, constructed the first picture of
the Martians as he conceived them, lie said in
part :
•The mi'll on Mars are tall been use the force

lln-lr large ears, consthut«* a type of beamy which
vve doubtless would not appreciate except as sug
gesting sii|s-rhuman intelligence."
On the other hand. Hr. < '. ti. Abbott holds that
If wireless messages are being received, it is not
Mars sending the signals, luit most prohahly
Yeiuis. Abbott is director of the Smithsonian
