NAVAL OBSERVATORY MARE ISLAND, Aug. 21.—Mars is inhabited but the means of communication between the earth and the distant planet which is now being closely observed by scientists on its nearest visit in 200 years, are slim. These are the conclusions of Captain T. J. J. See, professor of mathematics, U. S. Navy, and government astronomer at the naval observatory here. “The observations of astronomers since 1638 have shown Mars rotates in 24 hours, 37 minutes and 22.67 seconds,” said astronomer See; “that the obliquity of Mars’ eclipse is about 28 degrees so that the seasons on our neighboring planet are about the same as here, tho the year is nearly twice as long—687 days. “Mars has polar caps of ice and snow, which melt in advance of the martian summer and build up with the return of the martian winter. And, wonderful to relate, we can see the clouds floating in the atmosphere of Mars. The clouds have been distinctly photographed. “If Mars has seasons, day and night, clouds, ice rrd snow and a sunlight as favorable as that in the plateau of Thibet, the planet certainly is habitable. Therefore it is inhabited by vegetable and animal life of some kind, but we cannot define the kind of life which exists on Mars. Mars and Venus are both habitable, besides our earth. And if we do not admit that such worlds are inhabited, we are compelled to hold that the life upon our earth is an accident and a mistake, existing in violation of the general laws of nature.” But signalling Mars is another matter, according to Captain See. “We can send the signal,” he declared, “but the chance of an answer is slight because we could Prosecution Closes Case Against Youths With Impassioned Plea CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO Aug. 21—“Hang them!

Shouting, gesticulating and walking up and down before the collegiate defendants, Joseph P. Savage, assistant state’s attorney called them “murderers, flends, incarnate and the most heartless criminals in all history.” His voice penetrated every corner of the court room and floated out of the wide open windows into Austin-ave., below as he called for two lives for one.

The court set 2 for argument on formal motion. E. KENDRICK to see better. metrist, 158 W. Center St. Commenting on a bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, in which the assertion was made, according to a published report, that "a low labor cost may be secured at the expense of careful handling, grading or packing, operations which directly affect the value of the fruit and the net returns of the producer," Eygabroad said that the policy of the exchange assns was in general, to have as efficient help as possible, because one bad link in the mechanical chain of packing meant a disturbance of the entire process. Inefficiency at one point held up the whole line. It would be decidedly difficult to cut much of the cost of packing.

After being weatherbound in Iceland for three weeks, Lieut. Lowell II. Smith and Lieut. Erik Nelson, United States Army round-the-world aviators, hopped off for Greenland at 7:15 c'clock today. The Italian distance aviator, Lieut. Locatelli, who arrived here several days ago, accompanied the Americans. He had been granted official permission to do so. Altho Locatelli's plans is smaller than the American machines, has a greater cruising radius. The flyers had hoped to get away at 3 o'clock in the morning but were delayed. Their decision to make a supreme effort to hop off this morning was due to the shortage of fuel and provisions on the cruiser and destroyer fleet that is guarding the waterway routes of the airmen.
