animal creation v.tre seen on Mars by Mrs. Afrse Claims to Have Paid Several Visits to the Martians by "Soul Flight" and Tells What She Saw in the Star -World. 8 rw-- ST. LOUIS Avoman now comes forth claims to -have visited the planet INIars and she has written a book telling the water into a line of whil? foam. It was stated Mrs.

Weiss, she assert, that the Martians have reliable authority showing that this captive sea-serpent is the last of its bpecies. The precious stones found in Mars, according Mrs. Weiss" story, are sapphires, opals, to-pases, rubies and diamonds. They are highly prized by the Martians but arc kept on exhibition as the property; of the whole people, not of individuals. Mrs.

Weiss devotes much space to' descriptions of the flora of; Mars and pretty tory of the esteem, in hi the rodel, the national flower of the, planet, is It is regarded as a divine symbol because in its heart is a golden representation of the shining rays surrounding the abode of the supreme being of the Martian code of theology. Its perfume is the most delicate of all the flowers that grow on Mars and its buds are placed "'in 'the hands of new-lxirn. infant with a grayer that the child's life may be ruada a beautiful as the rodej's heart. It is also the cb'osm flower fot 'weddings and funerals am! symbolizes life and death. In early 'morning-its opening chalices' turn An-dumana's rising the and at the close of day its white petals fold themselves over -its golden heart and it no' rodel bloom liv ing longer than one It' is the.

sacred as w-ell as the national flower of. Murs. --Many other marvelous and entertaining things are told of in Mrs Weiss' book, which, however, mayjie left for the readers of that interesting volume to encounter in the narrative as it appears in book form. 'Journeys to the Planet is a remarkable book, because Mrs. Weiss advances tha claim that these journeys were actually taken by her disembodied spirit, and there are many in St.

Ixmis who accept her htory as literally true. It is held by them to lie a record of travel as authentic as if it merely covered a voyage to Kurope instead of a soul-flight through illimitable space to peaceful planet which we have mistakenly it would seem named for the mythical god of war. Weiss. ()ne was a gigantic beast, resembling a giraffe, with one eye in the front and the other in the back "of its head. It was covered with hort, red iish-hrown hair and had great horns.

There are also enormou-i birds, no big that the fabled roc of the Arabian lights' entertainment shrinks into" sparrowlike proportions by comparison. Their liodies are covered with an iridescent admixture of black, green, purple anil and their crest, wingand tail are snow white. Mrs. Weiss says they have the disdainfu'est eyes she ever lie-held. They are known "as Vulna-lcyinos, or "crowned majesty," and are semi-aquatic in habit.

is governed by a supreme ruler, whose' name. is Omanos l'unha. and Mrs. Weiss says that Omanos is a highly spiritualized man, ith a fine' sense of justice, broad-minded and kindly. Reappoints such counselors and other officials as are necessary for the government of The Martians, or Entoans, lielieve that the present existence is all of life, and that to fulfill properly all the duties 'of life should be one's chief pleasure.

They have a deep affection for their God, whom they call Andumana, the all-wise, the loving creator. They have a priesthood, which at one time became intolerably arrogant, but the people rebelled and now the priests ar more amenable to reason avd affairs religious are in much better shape. In addition to other wonders encountered in it is recorded by Mrs. Weiss that she saw and examined at close range a veritable seii-scrpent. This monster had been captured nd was kept i'i a lank in the gardens' that are a feature of the red planet.

It is described, as being SO feet in length, and supplied with webbed feet that propel it through the water. When angered or excited there are certain folds at the back of its broad, Pat. head which are erected anl projected forward over its vicious-looking eyes, that glow and scintillate in the most alarming manner. At the same time the monster hisses like a gigantic snake, lashing the world Avhat she saw there. The Avoman is Mrs.

Sara AVeiss of 4326 Cook avenue, though she was known during her sojounrn in Mars as ientola, and the title of her volume of Martian travels is ''Journeys to -the Planet Mars." The hook has just been' published by the liradford Press of Xev-'Yo'rk City. Aevonipanying Irs. Weiss in her through the planetary spaces from arth l.o Mars, she asserts, were the dis-. i mbodied spirits ot Louis Agassi Alexander von Humboldt and George Brooks, the world-famous scientists, and Carl de 1 "Ester, spirit counsellor and guide Mrs. Weiss, at whose solicitation she made the marvelous jour the papa giant being engaged in killing huge snakes, which furnished food for himself, iis giantess wife and giant children.

He was a iiiild-'faced. inoffensive fellow, and his wife seemed ipiit.e a loving con.sort. patting him delightedly on the back every time he found and killed a snake. These folk are known as the Kcneto Souva-iciIIo, or giant flesh eaters; they live in stone houses and never intermarry with other races. The ordinary Martians arc, known as Entoans, taking their nana- from that of their planet.

Yet almost the -first, thing they saw the got there was an airship rapid transit line, and Mrs.

Weiss learned that the north and south poles of Mars hail long aco given up their secrets to "scientists'" who used airship-, for polar exploration. Most of the traveling in Mars, sjy Mrs. Weiss, is done aboard these air rs they are called. The have regular stations established throughout, the planet, w'Ucrc t'vy take on discharge passengers, and the Iiu." does a nourishing business.

(Jeprge Brooks kindly permitted Mr. Weiss to rest upon his outstretched arms, as he was a better liver than she.

'J ne visit to Mars was so successful, and, so rich in discoveries of scientific and other lia-lure. that it was several times repeated during the period extending from Oct. 0, ISili, to J-cpt. 10, ISiM. Mrs.

AVeis states that she was enabled to travel to Mars in company with these disembodied spirits by reason of a rare phase of mcdiunishir that ni.sdc it possible for her spirit friends and int to use her as a means Ihrough wiioni earth's peojile should obtain a doer acipiaintanec with Mar, which is knowu to the Martians as Knto, signifying 'chosen, or -set apart." It is, she says, a happy planet, tilled with love, and the spirit liands that fre-pient it are called in planetary language, Kvon-thia, which means "for love's sake. They designate earth as 'the sorrowful star." So many wonderful things were seen on Mars by Mrs. Weiss that her book containing an account of them causes Camille yiammarion's astronomical romances to shrink into pale in-higniticance by comparison. She was fortunate in having such souls as Agassiz, Von Humboldt and tloorge Brooks as companions, because they led licr to a scientific comprehension of, what' she saw. She also encountered Giordano nino, the great Italian exeommunicado, who wa similarly useful in explaining things.
