INHABITANTS OF MARS.
Evidence of Their Existence.
In his introductics ton critical study of the facts known with rest to Mars, Mr J. H. Maxwell, writing in Enorbulge anya there are some who have an immutable, almost sacred, conviction that the 'ting speck
of cosmic dost on 'which' Fate haã placed us is the only buddy in the universe worthy of being a theatre of life. Even i there were un pr-itive soilence of life in Any other world, sach a relief would seem to de antesscomble. It probably owes ita origin to the old religious conseption of the Warth as the centre of the diverse, which was the basis of the opposition to *he Copornian view of the solar systems.
Those who attempt to mould facts inco compatibility with their' uswritten creada would be well sasise to abandon eith or their science or their creeds, or even both.
