Because of 100 yards of flooded, swampy area, farmers in Autanga county, Ala., were obliged for several years to make a detour of four miles to reach the market, the town, the corn mill, sirup mill, gin house, church, or school.

He doesnt say there are cultivated crops, but he Insists on the lunar vegetation. And he takes particular pains not to say that there is intelligent animal life on the moon. One thing Is sure Professor Pickering Is one of the greatest living astronomers and ltas been studying the moon pretty steadily for two years, v Whats more, Camille Klnmmarion, the famous French astronomer, says Professor Pickering Is probably right, as lie himself has photographed on the moon which Inphenomena dicates the existence of vegetation. Professor Tickering Is now In Europe. His colleague, Professor'S. L P.niley of Harvard, says: Professor Pickering has not as yet Peon able to convince many astronomers . that he is right In his discovery of life on the moon. He has made a prolonged study of the subject with a telescope at Jamaica and Is convinced that the markings which be finds on the inoon are caused by vege ation, but some others think the j.ier'-iegare shadows. My own attitude is one of doubt. , Xn scientific tnnn has ndvanced the theory that there Is Intelligent life on the moon. If there is life, it is believed to be a low form. Of course, no one can say positively that Intel igent life does not exist there. Professor Pickering is perfectly rii:ht hi assuming that a perfected optica! science will enable astronomers to make invaluable research bearing on life on the moon, which until now 'has been regarded ns a glacial world. declared Camille Flammarion, In !'j In s TiiCs.

The most rational hypothesis is that tlie moon is a world in decline. Her zenith doubtless coincided with the date when the earth, now cooled, was herself a little sun, capable of warming the mooii. Iii this case- the moon will have retained semblances of vegetation life only in certain deep craters, which are probably what Pickering and myself have observed. " In his report on this phase of Ills study of the moon, which has just been published In Popular Astronomy, a scientific publication, issued at North-fielMinn., Prof. Pickering criticises astronomers In severe terms for neglecting the study of the moon because of nn unproved hypothesis that It was lifeless. He emphasized the fact that Mars is 200 times further away from the earth than the moon is, so that other things being equal, 200 on times as much detail can the moon ns on Mars. Prof. .Pickering Is one of the chief living authorites on Mars, where he believes that life ence be-se- exists. When the moon emerges from Its two weeks of darkness and a degree of cold probably unknown on earth, the suns light quickly warms up the fields in the great moon craters, sonn-o- f which are many miles across, and starts, a mushroomlike growth of life there, according to the Pickering Tills flourishes during the theory. long moon day. Professor Pickering' found canals or runs of vegetation on the inoon. as on Mars, and was able, because of the nearness of the moon, to trace the Intricate patterns of growing fields, as he regarded them. He did this with an inferior telescope at the Harvard Observatory at Mandeville, Jamaica, which location Is of special advantage In examining the moon. Ilis instrument, a small one. Is more than fifty years old. His researches are' expected to result in bringing powerful telescopes to hear on the moon for the special study of living things alleged to be found in the craters. Fifty-si- x hours. of sunlight Ik the crater of Erastosthenes II. which Dr. Pickering made a particular object of study, evoked plant life. Nothing in Dr. Iickerihgs report indicated that these were cultivated crops. After describing the appearance of dark patches,' which sprung into existence and then faded out, he continued : Expressing the matter otherwise, we nmy say that the vegetation requires two and a half days to appear.

We thus have evidence of a variety of lunar vegetation. The wings of the northern spot begin t? develop as soon as the sunlight strikes them. These periods vary, however, . In different forms of vegetation observed. Crops with different exposures vary in duration from two to eleven days, and the average is about a week. In quickness of development, says Professor Pickering, some of. It even vies with our mushrooms and toadstools. The crop has to lie brief (n order to ripen at all, and it is doubtful if any of It In the region we have described lasts through the lunar night. Telling how dark patches and lines varied in their positions he continued : It thus appears that the runs on the moon, like the canals on Mars, shift their positions over the surface. In both cases the surface discoloration has changed its place. This cannot be due to mineral or Inorganic forces. Life therefore, exists on both these planets. After describing how fields of vegetation darken, spread, grow pale and shrink. Dr. Pickering continued: This description typifies the chances constantly occurring in many lunar fields in the course of their development, changes much more marked than any occurring on Mars. Discussing one area of apparent vegetation, which he calls the Southeastern Field, Professor Pickering continues: We now come to one of the most interesting of all the fields of this crater, because its changes are hot only very marked, hut also becnu they occur clietly near the time of the ful! moon, so that they can he studied for several hours, continuously. -- . d .
