DWELLERS IN MARS.
Opinion of an Eminent As-
tronomer.
M. Camile Flammarion, the eminent French astronomer, recently teceived from the Lowell Observatory, in the United States, a number of spectrograms giving positive evidence of the presence of watery vapours in the atmosphere of Mars. He considers that, whereas the earth is obliged to receive much of its necessarymoisture in the form of rain, the inhabitants of Mars may possibly obtain all the moisture they require in the form of a white frost, which falls during the night and evaporates after the rising of the sun.
M. Flammarion is convinced of the existence of inhabitants on the planet. “Mars,” he says, “has evidently neither our climate, pur temperature, nor our atmosphere. It is, besides, older than the earth, by several million years. I am absolutely ignorant as to what its inhabitants are like, for that does not belong to the scientific knowledge of our time—it belongs to the science of to-morrow.
