MARS LIFE EXTINCT
A week after the panic in the United States caused by the sup- Dosed arrival from Mars of in- vaders with death-rays, Dr. H. Spencer Jones, the Astronomer Royal, told a Leeds audience re- cently that he thought life on Mars was extinct,
"We do see on Mars possibilities of some sort of life, but it is more probable that we are looking at a world that is the home of spent Hitë," he said,
"Life probably flourished there millions of years ago, but has been dried up by the atmosphere, and has probably by now become almost impossible."
It was practically certain that no forms of Ilte existed on other planets.
