Marsh inhabited again. How do we know? Prof Percival Lowell has said so, and whatever Percy says may he counted on as an honest to good ews fact. There's no possible doubt about it this time, because Percival has saquinted through his glasses and seen at least 59 canals constructed for irrigation purposes, to pay noth ing of how coops five-cent vaudeville theaters, dusty streets, autos break ing the speed limit, and other evi dences of civilization. Percival also says that Mars is growing somewhat aged and dry. Hor rors! Putting aside age, think of a niece place like Mare getting dry. (Waiter, draw two for Mara.) From our savant we have it that the dry ness is caused by the departure rain and dew, but the dear professor faile to inform us whether the rain and dew got sick of their jobs and asked for more congenial surround ings, or just naturally petered out. .t was a mean thing for the rain and dew to do. (Don’t miss that.) And 00 to Mare, feeble gad dry, we extend our heartfelt sympathy, the sympathy of one who has lived in a tand o of milk and honey, planked whitefish, and other delicacies Would that we might extend a helping hand to those far off planets.
