cn erage mn oe Mars and the Earth.
(en Wednesday evening of last week the planet Mars, which has been growing brighter during the summer until now it is the most conspicuous phenomenon in the evening skies, was closer to the earth than it has been ut any time since the summer of 1877. The precise time of the apposition was 1.21 o'clock on Thursday morning, but the difference in Mars’ distance from the
earth dor several days before and after that fime Will be immaterial.
At least fifteen years wiilelapse before Mars again comes so near to the earth as it was last week. This event is called an apposition of Mars because that planet, travelling around the 3un io a more remote orbit than that of the garth, comes, at the time mentioned, into such a position that, as seen from the earth, it is at a point in the sky exactly opposite to the sun.
lt is am occurrence of the very highsst interest to astronomers, becsuse Mars has of Jate years come to be regarded as in many respects the most interesting of all the members of the solar family beyond the earth. At the last previous close spproach of Mars, in 1877, the discovery of its two strapge moons was made, and it may be ex- pected that these moons will now again be seen uader favorable circumstances, and that we shall learn something worth kaow- ing abour the magnitude and the motions of these singular little bodies. But the most interesting results to be obtained by the observations now to be made upon Mars, relate rather to the planet itself and the condition and peculiarities of its atmosphere and its surface. About a dozen years ago the annonncement was made of Schiap- arelli’s discovery of what have been called the canals of Mars. Although every astro- nomer armed with a great telescope who has looked for these so called canais has not succeeded in seeing all of them, yet enough has been observed with the great Lick telescope, aud with other powerful instruments, fully tu confirm the Italian astronomers discovery that Mars really possesses a network of straight lines, cover- ing its whole surface between the polar circles, and which are apparent'y water courses. The name canals was probably attached to them chiefly ou account of their straightness, and the idea that they are actual artificial canals has probably never been entertained by any astronomer. Their great magnitude alone seems sufli- cient to dispel it. They are hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles in length, and their average width is not less than seventy-five to a hundred miles. It can hardly be conceived that the most gigantic inhabitants with which the imagination might people the planet Mars would be able to construct canals of such a sizo.
Then, tco, Schiaparelli's singular obser- vation of the periodical doubling of the canals seems to indicate that they are natural phenomena, although their real nature is yet a mystery. At about the time of the vernal equinox in Mars, accord- ing to the Italian astrocomer, rows of faint spots begin to make their appearance along- side many of the canals, and these, after a few days, become better defined and blend together, making lines resembling images of the canals. Finally they become as sharp and definite as the originals.
All sorts of theories have bren advanced to account for these singular phenomena, but nothing has yet been offered which seems an adequate explanation. Evidently Mars, which in many respects strik- ingly resembles our own world, having an atmosphere, water, snow and ice, clouds, seasons, and other familiar terrestral phe- nomena, is in seme respects a far different globe from ours. The distribution of land and water upon Mars is entirely unlike that
upon the earth. Instead of having only one-
quarter of its surface dry iand, as is the case with our planet, Mars has its surface about
equally divided between land and water. Its oceans and its continents are proporticnately far less extensive than those of the earth.
Most of its seas are long and narrow, and the
curious network of water courses called canais divides up the continents into still smaller
portions, making of them so many archipel-
agos.
Since 1877 great advances have been made in our means of studying the surface conditions of such a planet as Mars. We have telescopes of far greater power than any that existed at that time. ‘The spectroscope has also been improved, and the wonderful art of astron- omical photography may almost be said to have been invented and perfected since Mars last paid a visit to the vicinity of the earth. It is altogether probable, then, that the present opposition will result in some most interesting and possibly startling discoveries concerning this marvellous neighbor of ours in the sky. It is not to be expected, of course, that we shall be able to obtain direct evidence that Mars is an inhabited world. The power of our instruments would need to be increased hundreds and, indeed, thousands of times in order to accomplish that. But it is not too much to expect that we shall obtain evidence which wil! enable us, reasoning upon analogfes, to say with a high degree of probability whether Mars simply niimics the earth in the possession of an atmosphere and water wnile yet remaining lifeiess, or whether, along with those great requisites for the support of life, it is also adorned by the presence of living and intelligent beings.
A great deal has been said of late concern- ing the possibility of our communicating with the inhabitants cf Mars. A good French lady, Madame Guzman, who died last year, was 40 well convinced that the inhabitants of the earth would yet be able to communicate with their neighbors upon Mars that she left the sum of $20,000 in the care of the Academy of Sciences in Paris as a legacy to be given to the discoverer of the means of making such communication, All sorts of wild schemes of signalling to Mars by means of electric lights and the making of geometric fgures upon the face of the earth have been advanced; but i: is safe to say that it will not be in any such ways as these that the future discoverer of interplanetary communication wil! succeed in winning Mme. Guzman’s legacy. Some en- tirely novel discovery in physica must be made, something as wonderfu! and unexpect- ed in its way as the invention of the spectro scope, before we can expect to nave any abso- lute proof of the ‘existence of intelligent in- habitants on other planets. ,
Hope, Faith and Love.
There are three lessons 1 would write— Three words as with a ourning pen
In tracings of ete:nal light,
Upon the hearts of men:
Have a Through clouds environ now, And gladness hides her face in scorn, Put thou the shadow from thy brow— No night but hath its mourn.
Have Faith. Where’er thy bark is riven— The calm’s disport, the tempest’s wrath— Know thon: God rules the hosts of heaven, The inhabitants of earth.
Have Love. Not love alone for one, But man, as man, thy brother call, And scatter, like the circ!ing sun, Thy charities on all,
Thus grave these lessons on thy soul—
Hope, Faith and Love—and thou shalt find Strength, when Life's surges rudest roll, Light, when thou else wert blind.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
Bad Work at the East.
Sirn,—For the last two years the eastern part of the district looked on at the favors granted to some of the party by our bungling Supervisor, In the summer of '9] one of the party bad two large heaps of mud piled up in his feld on Baltic Road and it was too much trouble for him to save them drained, s0 he applied to the Supervisor to have a bridge built opposite to them on the road, and to cut a drain there also to carry away the water, so that his mud would dry up. This he has granted to him at the public expense. Al- though there was a bridge built some yards further on in the bed ot the swamp, still it did vot drain the mud. Now the same Supervisor is allowing the mad to be hauled away from the roadside along by the accommodation bridge, so that the road is barely wide enough to let two carriages pass by, and the tunnel that has been cut there is from three toe four feet deep and no railing along said swamp, so if a horse would shy off there is no escape from a general smash up and broken limbs, It was better to allow the railing to be taken off the bridge than this, as people would be on their guard as a stranger would not be aware that he was to thrown in such a place, Last: spring the railing fell off Basin bridge and for the last two weeks some of the cover- is broken and one Stewart had the leg of his horse nearly breke, and last Sunday there was a rail stuck up in the opening for a warning as you would see ina hole in the ice in the winter. But before dark some one put three longers on so as to partly cover the opening so that carriages are in danger of being broken or the party thrown out, So this is the way things are allowed to go on, Wil the Comuwissioner please see to those traps ? PASSER BYE.
