Show THE LATEST FROM mara the interest in our celestial neigh bor mars continues unabated and the great question till still to is whether that planet is inhabited by intelligent belog beings or not among the results supposed to be obtained some are evidently contradictory and others are as far as aa can be judged at present bordering on the fante fantastic Atle during daring the recent favorable apposition four observers at mount hamilton were closely watching the luminary one of chope professor wor campbell Oam studied in particular the spectrum of mars with a view of ascertaining whether the globe Is enveloped in an atmosphere his supposition was that the he solar spectrum it if observed after having pawed passed through the supposed atmosphere of the planet must show some modification whatever lines there might be not solar or torre terrestrial ree re tria would be of martial origin the result of his most careful op reful observe ob serva eions was that there was waa no more evidence of aqueous vapor or of an atmosphere on an mars man than there Is on the moon laks lake oceana irrigation canals snow caps inhabitants and signals all if the dictum or of the
