WHY
Human Life on Planet Mara la
Still Much in Doubt.
Does life exist on Mats? The late
1‘rof. t'ercival Lowell, of the Flagstaff
observatory in Arizona, believed that
it did, and supported his conclusions
by tal ng many observations of the
strange network of lines on the sur
face of that planet, lines which are so
orderly and geometric he believed they
could oidy be channels designed by in
telligent an.d reasoning beings. Pro
fessor Lowells views were violently
attacked by many contemporaries, but
later students have been more and
more inclined to agree with him.
According to a defense of Doctor
Lowell’s views written by 11. Boyd
Br.vden which recently appeared in the
Journal of the Iloya! Astronomical So
ciety of Canada, oxygen and water va
por are present in the Martian atmos
phere, and the surface temperatures
of the sphere are near enough like
earth temperatures to support life as
we know it. Vegetation appears to ex
ist o:t the planet, since snow or hoar
frost whitens the poles during winter
and when it melts in the spring the
red. ochrous areas of the temperate
regions gradually change to green.
It is possible that life and perhaps
some kind of intelligence has devel
oped on Mars, then; but that is a long
way front proving the existence of any
kind of animal (or human) order.
Skepticism doubtless will linger until
some earthling builds a telescope pow
erful enough to take pictures of the
Martian inhabitants, if they really are
there.—Detroit Free Press.
| Why Ujiji, Africa, Is
Not Inaccessible Today
Although lljiji, where Stanley and
Livingstone met, is in the very heart
of Africa, !t is not inaccessible today.
Livingstone took more than two
mouths to go from the coast to the
lake; (now it can he done In two
days). Livingstone had an arduous
and dangerous trek; one may now
travel in a comfortable compartment
of the Tanganyika railway, and on
reaching Kigoma, the railhead on the
lakeside, the remaining five miles to
Ujiji are covered by taxi.
Ujiji has 15,000 people. Other Af
rican villages have no kind of plan,
ttie tints being dotted about as though
they came down in a shower from tlm
sky; Ujiji lias as clear a plan as
New Vork, and its long, straight
streets cross each other at rigid angles
with all the precision of a gridiron.
Old men show the spot where Liv
ingstone stood when lie grasped Stan
ley's outstretched hand. Today lie
would see there a motor road, a mis
sion school and a football match going
on.—The Living Church.
Why Rainbow Hai No End
There is no use looking for the end
of the rainbow because it is really a
circle which of course lias no end, ac
cording to Dr. William J. Humphreys
of the weather bureau. lie explains
that It is caused by the breaking up
of the sun's rays into the colors of the
spectrum. Aviators high above the
earth see the rainbow as a circle and
as long as it remains visible the plane
seems to stay in the center of the cir
cle No two persons ever see the same
rainbow, since tlie rays of light have
to focus in the individual's eye, and
no two persons can ever get their eye#
at exactly the same point.
Why Noses on Safety Zonei
The torpedo-shaped noses of city
concrete safety zones are fifteen feet
long. Starting at a height of six inches,
the noses graduate to twenty inches.
Tiiis construction was decided upon so
that the axle of a speeding car would
slide up the nose, thereby cutting
down the force of the impact and les
sening the chance of Injury to the
driver end damage to the car.
Why Cats’ Eye* Shine in Dark
Cats’ eyes shine in the dark because
light is reflected by the “tapetum lucl
dum," which is part of the membra
nous layer between the retina and the
outer covering of the pupils of their
eyes. It is this tapetum lucidum that
enables cats and other nocturnal ani
mals to see even when there is little
light.
Why Birmingham Should Be Busy

Why Moon and Sun Eclipse
There would be an eclipse of th*
sun once In every lunar revolution
were It not for the fact that the
moon's path or orbit around the earth
and the path or orbit of the earth
about the sun do not lie in the same
plane. The moon's path Is inclined to

Why Time Zone Lines Are Irregular
The Interstate Commerce comrnis

to suit tlie convenience of railroads
