Possibly a spectroscope, placed far out in space and trained on Earth, would show a similar lack of oxygen lines. Dr. Adams last week told how he finessed this physical difficulty by using earthshine...

Life does not exist on Mars or any other solar planet except Earth, in the opinion of Dr. Walter Sydney Adams, director of Mt. Wilson Observatory. Mars, most propitious of Earth's neighbors, is not only inhospitably cold and scantily watered, but also almost devoid of oxygen. Some months ago Dr. Adams and Dr. Theodore Dunham Jr. trained spectroscopes on the red planet, computed that it has under 1% as much free oxygen as Earth...

Should the reversal in the trend of farm prices be sufficient to stop the western agitation and hold things in balance while the commodity loan idea furnishes the necessary oxygen to keep the farmers of the west breathing easily, there will be more time naturally for the coordination here of the different parts of the government's program that just now are not meshing...

Germany's Dr. H. O. Kneser has suggested that a large part of the absorption in air is due to collisions between oxygen molecules and water vapor molecules. Dr. Knudsen's experiments with air and its two major components, oxygen and nitrogen, weigh heavily in favor of this suggestion. There was no appreciable difference in the decay rates in moist nitrogen and dry nitrogen. But the decay rate in moist air was only one-fifth the rate in moist oxygen, and oxygen is one-fifth...
