Minus his tic and with an innocent tongue, the patient is now a happy sales representative for an English firm...
Telltale Band. Most important was proof that organic (carbon-hydrogen) compounds probably exist on Mars. Dr. William Sinton of the Smithsonian Institution started with the fact that compounds containing carbon, when joined to hydrogen, absorb infra-red radiation with a wave length of 3.46 microns. His first step was to look for this absorption band in infra-red light reflected from dry leaves, lichens and mosses, which are made almost entirely of carbon-hydrogen compounds. It showed up strongly...
...necessary because of the feebleness of Martian light, but at last the band appeared. Apparently, something on Mars absorbs infra-red in the same way that earthside vegetation does. Dr. Sinton thinks his observation is strong evidence that Mars has living organisms whose bodies are made of compounds containing carbon and hydrogen...

As they flew through the grey fringes of the storm at 8,200 ft., Dorothy heard the engines sputter; then her husband shouted: "Hang on, darling, we're going to crash...
