Yerkes Observatory, Williams Bay, Wis., Aug. 25.--Seen through the largest refracting telescope dn the world here, the planet Mars looked like a small orange with a patch of mold on it, shortly after mid- pight Sunday morning. Tke swash- buckling planet was closer to earth! than it has been for 120 years--34,- 37,000 miles. And it will be al- most 120 years again before it dips | once more into such close view. | Luckily, atmospheric conditions | were almost perfect for observation early yesterday morning. The sky above Lake Geneva Was clear and: splashed with stars. Mars itself shone t in the south like a great purning dia- mond. "This is the best nignt for ab-| serving Mars we have had in twenty-| four years," sald Engineer Frank R. | Sullivan, of the observatory of Chi- cago. "Both satellites are clearly visible--an extremely rare bit of luck." -- Mars Has Two Moons. For Mars has its moons--two of them. They shone in the great lens like chips of star dust. They play tag with their father planet with such dizzy speed that full moon, half moon and crescent moon--two each --appear on Mars in the space of an earthly 24 hours. The smallest one, «dread," is only twelve miles in dia- meter; the other, called "fear," sbout 20. "Fear {s about 12,000 miles from the edge of Mars, and traverses its tiny orbit cnce every seven hours. Prof. Edwin D. Frost, director of the observatory, gaid that a third moon might possibly be discovered. e his first assis glued to the lens heavens some 35,000,- 000 miles away, but the third satel- lite did not appear. Excellent pho- tographs were taken of the satel- lites. For a month, Prof, Frost is to direct nightly observations. The tube of the Yerkes telescope weighs six tons. It is sixty-twb feet long and it is so delicately balanced that a baby's hand could swing it around. The dome Was dark.

To his eye Mars looked like a ruddy silver dollar or an orange. At one tip was 2 spot of tarnish. "A snow field," explained Frost. It appeared as he talked that the Martian seasons correspond quite closely to seasons on this earth, and that the Polar regions at this time of the year are covered with a great peninsula of ice. "It looks like the North Pole" said Prof. Frost. "Really however, | it's the southern extremity. The lens inverts the image." Then there were Mars chasing each other their glowing father. ------ pife May Dxist There. Professor Frost presently told his audience a few things aboat Mars. "1 hate to disappeint you," he smiled, "but really I expect nothing of consequence to come of this ob- gervation. I am, though, interested {n the possibility of a new satellite end its discovery." He said that it was entirely with- lite the the tiny moons of around of some nature might exist on 'neighboring planet. "This by no means indicates," he explained, "that 1 think there is in- teiligent human lite on Mars. Far trom it. But I do believe it entirely possible that some gort of primitive vegetable life does exist." + He scouted as absolutely ridicu- lous any possibility of inter-com- munication between the pianeis by means of radio or other devices. And he declared that the so-called canils, 'which were not visible to the ua- the observation, were not "canals" in the usual sense, but "channels of twenty miles wide and thousands of miles loBg." The red coloring of Mars, sald Professor Frost, comes not from matter, but most jasper. sald, are very possibly vegetable in origin. ee ------ _ Lightning strikes binder in Ox ford county, killing three horses, ifn time, but the Afghan the struggle is expected to be Serve. there's a classified ad way of get- | month ago.
