PLANET MARS
RECENT OBSERVATIONS
IMPORTANT CONCLUSIONS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2. At the Mount Wilson observatory in California a group of astronomers, who are following the telescope photographic.’studies of Mars in opposition, announced their belief that Mars was not inhabited. They asserted that the so-called canals, many of which were hundreds of miles wide, were built by natyre, thus contradicting the notion of the existence of animal or human life on Mars. It is unlikely that Martian engineers built the canals, they declared. The astronomers add that the observations of the photographs virtually establish that Mars has clouds and atmospheric conditions similar to ours, and rivers, mountains, land and sea.
