LIFE IN MARS.
The London spectator gives the following
interesting review of a chapter in a new work
entitled "Other Worlds Than Oars," by
Richard A. Proctor, F. R. A. S., just pub
li&hed in London:
In a book far more entertaining than any
modern novel Mr. Proctor has giveu us,
amongst a nnmber of other studies of worlds
in physical condition widely different from
that of our own, a chapter of the highest in
terest on "Mar the MiniaGure of our Earth"
the specific interest of the essay being the
very close analogy it proves in the physioal
condition of Mars to that of our own earth,
so that we have a far larger basis of similari
ties from which to draw onr inferences to
other fdnvrities which we can, as yet, only
conjecture; than we have in the case of the
Monn, or even the planet Jupiter, or Venus,
or Mercury worlds in all of which there is
some vast fundamental differences of condi
tion which muat affect the whole course of
natnro there. In the moon there
is the fatal difference of no atmos
phere, and none, therefore, of the
normons variety of phenomena evapora
tion, clouds, colors, vegetables, lungs, etc
dependent thereon. In Mercury and Venus,
if there is not, as we should suppose on the
first look, an amount of heat which would
make those planets quite intolerable to the
various races of creatures inhabiting our
earth, we have at least no right as yet to
assume that there is not, and no evidence at
all really demonstrating the existence of those
general physical conditions on which alone
we can base an argument from analogy. In
Jupiter there is pretty clear positive evidence
that the conditions of existence are quite in
consistent with life as we know it. In all
probability, the body of the planet is still
a glowing uncondensed mass of molten
matter, with an atmosphere heavily charged
with boiling vapor; and if there be life at all
of our kind in tho Jovian system, it must
in all probability be on the satellites, and not
on the planet itself; and even they are com
posed of so light a material, as compared
with the earth or the moon, as to suggest a
very different general physical condition.
Of course, there is nothing to prove that in
tellectual beings, like ourselves in reasoning
powers, may not exist in the fiery furnace of
the snn or on the cinder which we call the
moon, or, indeed, in empty Bpace itself; but
there wo come into the region of pure con
jecture, and the argument from analogy wholly
fails. Nothing is beyond pure conjecture. A
hundred thousand intellectual beings like
myself mp.y be dancing on the paper on
which I am writing, for anything I know; but
1 have no reason to think so, and I have very
little more reason to think that such beings
exist either on the sun ' or on the moon, for
the only circumstance which favorably dis
tinguishes these positions from empty space,
for the abode" of beings like ourselves, is the
existence of a force of gravity there, more
cr less Tesembling the force of gravity
which keeps us rooted to the earth; and
even that circumstanco as regards the sun
can hardly be said to furnish an analogy, for
at the surfaco of the sun, to say nothing of
the difficulty of living in a furnace, the force
of gravity itself would be so enormous as to
crush any one with the body of a man.
While, therefore, there is nothing to prevent
our conjecturing inhabitants for all the suns
in space, there is precisely as little reason for
doing so as for conjecturing inhabitants for
the intervening celestial vacuum. The mere
attraction of our attention to these particu
lar points in space by the lights sus
pended there ought no more to suggest living
beings in any degree like ourselves than the
shining of a candle should suggest to a moth
that in the flame of that candle living beiDgs
like itself exist, in point of fact, the moth
would be much nearer the mark if it peopled
the dark intervening spaces with moths, and
excluded them from the various luminous
points visible to it and so as regards solar
worlds, not only have we no reason to single
them out for conjectural inhabitants, but as
far as we can reason from analogy at all, we
have special reason to single them out as
localities in which creatures like ourselves are
even more unlikely to exist thanin the empty
celestial spaces themselves. No doubt
it is perfectly reasonable to. suppose
that there may be planetary systems for most
or all of the solar worlds like that to which
we belong, and there, if beings more or less
like ourselves do not already exist, prepara
tion may be making for them. Uut what we
want to insist on is, that so far as we can reason
at all in this matter, we can reason only by
analogy; and that argument, as distinguished
from mere conjecture, fails us, just bo far as
we have no tangible analogies of physical
condition on which to build.
Now, in the case of the planet Mars, and in
the case of the planet Mars alone, our
astronomers Lave really established the
existence of a similarity of physical condition.
which gives us the strongest positive grounds
for inferring that even such creatures as we
now are could somehow make shift to live
there, though, of course, not without a cer
tain amount of preliminary discomfort while
we were trying to acclimatize ourselves. Mr.
A o IDi'UlU bUCUUUl Ul tUCOO BlUllial HIGH,
and his delightful chart of the planet's conti
nents ana waters, suggest to ns to discuss one
or two of the known differences of condition,
in their relation to the probable results upon
tee histoy ana civilization of the Martiahsts
Firnt, let us briefly say that the Martialists
have a world less in area than one
of our hemispheres to explore that, in
ppite of this it has not very much less land
than the earth, a much less propor
tion ot its suriace Deing occupied with water
than of . our globe that its seas are of the
general type of the Baltio and the Mediterra
nean, for the most part narrow, straggling,
inland seas that the greatest seas are in the
neighborhood of the cold boutn pole of Mars,
which has a climate far severer than the
North pole; that there is a world of perpetual
snow at each Martial pole, which can be seen
to diminish as the summer returns to each
hemisphere, and to increase again as winter
comes back; that in spite of the preponde
rance of land, a vast deal of rain falls on
Mars, especially in winter, clouds often
hiding the configuration of the continents
from our astronomers, and 1 then suddenly
dispersing, and leaving the continents clear
again a clearing-up which usually happens
about the hour of noon in Mars, just as our
weather so often changes as the sun passes
the meridian; mat tue length of the Mar
tial year is nearly twice as lout? as ours; and
the that force of gravity on Mars is much less
than half what it is with us, so that as, Mr.
l'roctor expresses it, "a uauiei Liambert on
Mars would be able to leap easily to a height
of five or six feet, and he could run faster
than the httt of our terrestrial athletes."
The general .result, then, of the telescopic
observations on Mars, and the deduced calcu
' latiokB may be said to be (1) with certainty,
that the weight of objects of the same mass
in Mara is much less than half what it is here,
, Til ft'' tiirOT'Mf'j""tv there would be a far
same size; that falls would be less dangerous, i
that thestrain on walls, or columns or any other
supports would be much less, and that there
fore roofs, arches, and structures of that kind
might be easily set up on a much larger scale
by creatures of equal skill with ourselves;
bnt, on the other hand, that friction, which
is more or less proportioned to pressure, and
therefore, in the case of piles of stones, etc.,
to weight, would be far less than on the sur
face of the earth, so that any violent lateral
distntbances, such as hurricanes, would exert
a still greater effect than on our earth in de
stroy iug such structures, Bince there would be
leRS solidity, and therefore less frictional re
sistance to overcome In overturning them.
Again, the vastly diminished weight of given
masses would give a very great advantage to
all kinds of engines of draught. Carriages,
carts, and railways would attain a vastly
greater speed than on our earth, and the
sledging on the snowfieltls of Mars might be
as swift as the wind. All these inferences are
matter of certainty, so far as they go. Bnt
(2;, there seems a very great probability that
the atmosphere of Mars is relatively con
siderably denser than ours, since at a distance
from the sun so much greater that the planet
probably receives, directly, less than half the
lieht and heat we receive, there seems no
sign of any arctio severity, and clear eviaenoe
that the atmosphere holds vast quan
tities of watery vapor even in winter,
which points to a general temperature
considerably higher than onr world would
have if removed to the same distance from
the sun, especially when one considers how
much less water to supply vapor, and how
much greater a proportion of land than the
earth, Mars contains. Again, the rapidity
with which storms clear off from a big conti
nent and leave the outline clearly marked
after being all enveloped in mist before,
Bcems to show the existence of very rapid
curreats of air; and this, no doubt, the
greater inclination of the axis of Mars, giving
a greater range to the northward and south
ward journeys of tho sun, would
promote. Putting these facts together,
then, we should infer that the atmo
sphere of Mars is, in proportion, heavier than
that of the earth, and therefore a warmer
envelope for the planet, that its winds are
more violent, and that the great dilhculty
of the architects of the planets is more
likely to be the strengthening of their struc
tures against lateral forces hurricanes, for
instance than against the strain of gravity.
Their outer walls would have to be compara
tively much more solid, their difficulty in
raising broad arches and spacious roofs would
be much less less; and locomotion on Mars
must be much more easy and speedy, eaiteris
paribus, than locomotion on earth.
If this be so, we may see a htuess in the
much larger proportion of land in the planet
and the comparative narrowness and small-
ness of the seas. Probably life in Mars is
faster than it is here. It is very improbable
that the civilization of the different continents
there is divided by periods extending over
thousands of years. There is probably no
one of the great continental tracts of Mars
known there as "the New World." If great
migrations of conquering races have taken
place on Mars as on the earth, they have pro
bably succeeded each other faster, having a
less surface to move over, less obstacles per
haps in the way, and greater advantages in
locomotion. We should not be surprised, too,
if the Martialists had got greatly ahead of ns in
respect of navigating the air. We know that
the density of the planet as a whole is less
than three-fourths of that of our earth, so
that it seems likely that the tissues of the
body of a Martialist which must be fed from
the substance of the planet are on tho whole
intrinsically lighter than those of man's body.
But if the Martialists' bodies are intrinsically
lighter, and their atmosphere a good deal
heavier than ours, aerial transit may be a
very easy matter to them, and it is quite con
ceivable that their normal mode of locomo
tion may be through the air.
Again, if we are right in supposing the
currents of air in Mars to be of more than
usual violence, while the solidifying force of
friction which resists them is much smaller
than here, it may be a reasonable inference
that "natural selection" has already
weeded out the loftier-growing trees,
which would stand less chance in encoun
ters with hurricanes than our own, and
it is not improbable that the tendency of the
greater facilities for motion, and the greater
velocity of life in Mars altogether, would be
that all its animal inhabitants range wider
for their food, and obtain less on a given area
than on our earth. We should be disposed
to conjecture that it is a world in which
speed is greater and of more importance than
even on the earth, and if bo, it seems likely
enough that the difficulty we have supposed
as to the solidity of walls exposed to tne at
mospheric currents of Mars, is got over as
the difficulty of building durable structures
is generally got over in our own tropics,
where earthquakes are so common by not
building durable structures at all, but only
very Heht and . irague ones a
process wnicn would, or course,
be much easier where all tbe materials were
lighter and all motion swifter than with us.
In a word, it seems likely that the distinctive
feature of life on Mars is velocity, that the
creatvres there live faster, move of toner, un
dergo more change, just a the planet itself
passes through a far vaster orbit (though its
orbital velocity is not quite so great as ours)
in one of the Martial years. But that such a
characteristic would tend to quicken the pro
gress of tho mind and of discovery is doubt
ful. With ns civilization has never advanced
rapidly till it had become tame and, so to
say, plodding, and the excitements of local
change at least had become few. But the great
seasonal changes on Mars, especially .in the
(Southern hemisphere, where the winter and
Bummer are aggravated by the enormously in-
creased distance of the sun at that period
w hen his rays are most direct contribute to
confirm the impression we have drawn from
other considerations, that nhvaicallv. at least.
the life there has far more of rapid change in
it than we can easily conceive; but whether
that has developed or arrested the mental
and moral progress of the Martialists is a
question of which the elements are alto
gether too conjectural for serious discussion.
