DAILY EDITION Tuesday, Oct. 18, 1927 CONSERVATIVES WILL BUILD If the Liberals under Premier Mackenzie King will not build a railway westerly from the Peace River country, the Conservatives will, so they say. That is encouraging Between the two we are likely to get somewhere. Political parties are simply names and the .people will support the party that represents their views. In many respects the Liberals have been the western party. They gave us equal freight rates and they gave us the ejevator but those are now accomplished facts. There is no such thing as gratitude in politic, as evidenced in the result of the last election here. People support: -the party they expect to get most from or the candidate they like the best. Now Prince Rupert wants a western outlet for the Peace River, it wants a post office and It wants fishermen's floats. Conservatives refused to come out straight in the matter of post office at the last? lclion but they haw now declared for the western outlet from ,'JtttS Peace River. If they stick to that uneiui vocally and the Liberals will do nothing, as intimated by Hon. C. A. Dunning, then the conservative will get western support. Liberal newspapers throughout the country are wishing Hon. Richard Bedford Bennett well. That is as 4t8J?.0U'SVe, were .among the, f irgtJe wJshJtf n well. . GOVERNMENT TO CARRY ON The jesult of the Nelson election will be that the Provincial Government Will' carry on through the forthcomihir session and if it wishes to do so it may sit through two sessions before appealing to xne people lor another lease of life. To thpse who were anxious that Premier MacLean should have an opportunity to prove himself, the Nelson election outcome was pleasing. There was nothing to be gained by electing a Conservative at this time. The general election cannot be far away and then the people will be able to decide, not in one constituency onV, but throughout the province as to who is to carry on the affairs of British Columbia. It is to be assumed that at the general election Hon. S. F. Tolmie will seek a seat and if he is elected he will lead the Conservative forces in the Legislature. It will be noted that the Liberals won this election in a constituency where the only daily newspaper was strongly Conservative and it supported Dr. Borden. The successful party had to defend for its publicity and advocacy of its cause on an election sheet published for the occasion. This would seem to indicate that the advocacy of a cause by a newspaper is not always effective and that it may even be detrimental. Now that Nelson has done its bit for the Empire, let us forget it and look forward to a Tunney fight or something equally elevating. SERIES OF SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES Today we are publishing the third of a series of scientific articles isfuetl by the liiologicnl, Board of Canada through their, local experrmtntl station. The one -tiifblisbed yesterday in regard' to oils was found, to be very interesting to a lar'gemCef'id'Thf article on Plankton published today should also prove good reading for those interested in natural history because it has a strong local application. The fourth will appear tomorrow and deals with Fish Glue." Those -who have wondered what the experimental station is doing will get some idea of its scope from these articles but of cource there is a great deal of work done that is not yet far enough advanced to tell about. It Is to be hoped that Prince Rupert people will have an opportunity of reading further of these activities at some future date. Thanksgiving seems to be the next excitement but that is nearly a month away. What shall we do in the meantime? Even a wise owl sometimes hoots at the wrong time.

And as Miff la getting more distant from us at each opposition, last winter's was the nearest approach of the planet for a number of rears to own. It H known to astronomers a year to tlrat Or. OoMentc and Mr. Lamp: land were engafM In seeking, at the Lowell Observatory, further confirmation dr Die reverse of the temperature mfu-ttrements which they obtained at the ppiaiifsn of 1924. the mult of last year's work have been embodied la a paper entitled "Further Radiometric MeaiurMwnits and Temperature Est! mates Of the Planet Mars. 1928," just irtuFd from Washington. Messrs. Cob-' lenta and Lampland state that the jtelewepe' used was the 42-lnch Lowell teflectoT, which is equipped with auxiliary mirrors giving focal lengths of 18, 93. and DO feet. "The radio-meters In vatlittm cells. ... By means ot a series of transmisstth screens of water, quarts; glass, and of fluorlte. the plsnetary ra dtstlon etna Dating from the Irradiating surface of Mars was. resolved Into spec trai component whereby It was possi ble to obtain estimates of the plane, tary surrface." Mfc.vN TI All KKATl UK Two year ago Ooblenta and Lampland fouad the equatorial regions ot the planet to be much warmer than the pl. the afternoon temperature to be higher than the morning, and the blue gtfn areas to be considerably hotter UtaH the reddlsh-oehre regions. Fur tlHT. they found the mean annual tern. pcatur to range from 7 to 18 degrees centigrade, c 45 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit. ' These conclusions have been confirmed at the last opposition, and may now be accepted as beyond doubt. OoblentE and Lampland found the temperature of the centre of the disk- that la to say the noonday tempera t lire to be somewhat higher than ih 1024, from 20 to 80 degrees centigrade. The dark areas were again found to be warmer than the bright. At a test observation on October 12 of last year a dark area known to astronomers as the Mars Clmmcrium -and a bright area lying side by side with it were measured by the radiometer when tliey on the central meridian. The dark area was found to be 10 to is degree warmer than the bright, "if this difference In temperature," the as tronomers conclude, "la the result of a difference In elevation, then the cooler bright-colored areas (deserts) sre perhaps 7.0OO feet higher than the dark areas. So small a difference In eleva tion would escape detection visually This confirms the view of Lowell and other specialists that Mars is a leVel world compared to the earth. That the Martian atmosphere Is more extensive and denser than hitherto sup posed by most astronomers Is Indicated by som of Coblentz' arid Lampland's recent results. In their study of the east and west limbs of the planet they, confirmed their previous Conclusion that the es fr 'sunrise" limb Is cooler than the rest- or "sunset" limb. Exceptions to '.his- general rule were found, especially if the west limb was unusually bright. fctfc JLBdleS tlaa. ; ofclpudlness- -at sunset: On October 27. 1926. when the temper- ature of the sunset limb was lower that that of the sunrise, a white cloud overhanging the sunset limb wait ob served visually. Coblentz and Lampland believe that on all these occasions of unusually low temperature they were theaturlng the radiation from "an ef fective radiating layer situated at some distance above the solid surface." This means that abnormally low temperatures ire dtie to extensive cloud. W.llt.M .1X11 COMJ .heAh The Lowell observers found that warm and cold areas were to be found on the uniformly illuminate'd disk. This Indicates a new method of picking out Martian clouds Invisible to the telescopic observer; for the small regions of low temperature would seem to tje due to cloudiness. The temperature measured in these cases Is most likely not the surface temperature but that of a cloud layer, and this, of course, indicate that th atmosphere of Mars l cloudier Umrjvas'ieiSaihtteen or twentysyerso-Thtefijpfinned by wlthlrtfthe -fast nj& cftwetvatloti DrWfcSblentz thinks that the eWaencr'bf so much cloudiness raises the question of "the extent of an absorbing and heat-re-talnlng atmosphere, and perhaps the preeence of a little more water-vapour than the spectroscope has yet shown." A little over fifty years ago R. A. Proctor referred to Mars as "the miniature of our earth" and enumerated many analogies between the two planets.

Eallors and fishermen have often noticed "red water" off the West 'Coast of Vancouver Island. This discoloration U due to the presence of millions of little red colored organisms called by scientists Perldenlum trochoideum, which are about one-thousandth of art inch long. A sample of 'men' owed it color to mlrrlads of spherical. on ceiiea plants, each one being one three-thousandth bf an Inch In diameter. Their scientific name Is f-hseocys-tls pouchetl.
