'ittl~ screen By KEN STROEBEL Nprwlch Bulllltln Serious sci-fi writers may have brought sensili vity an4 . scie11tific veracity to their visions of Mars, but Hollywood . never has followed suit. The most recent Mars movie was Tim Burton's ultra-silly " Mars Attacks!" based on a series of '50s trading cards about ray~gun-toting little green men. · Through the years. Hollywood has offered equally outrageous visions of Mars and its possible inhabitants. Here are some of our favorite movie Martians. - . "Invaders From Man" (1953): Engrossing cult movie from the M~Carthy era in which Martians land in a field next to the home of a iiule boy (Jimmy Hunt) and slowly hegin manipulating the minds of his friends and family. The Martians here are tall, bug-eyed, big-footed anthropoids who obey the _commands of a pulsating, tentacled head in a fish bowl. Fortunately, we don 't see these creatures until the end; for most of the film we follow littie Jimmy into a nightmare or paranoia, as all the people he's supposed to love and trust - parents, teachers, the police - become cold, distant monsters. Despite its low budget, .the film has a hypnotic, dreamlike quality, and a neat twist ending. Remade- disappointingly - by Tobe Hooper in 1986. -"Total Recall" (1990): Based on a Philip K. Dick short story, this action-packed Amold Schwarzenegger · vehicle follows the schizophtenic adventures of futuristic construction worker who may not be who he thinks he is. After a trip to a mind-tampering company specializing in "virtual vacations," our hero comes to realize he may actually be an intergalactic spy caught up in a bloody labor war on Mars. One of Arnold's best, with a roller coaster plot and mind-blowing, Oscar-winning .special affects. - "W-r of the Worlds" (1953): Producer George Pal moved H.G. Wells' story from 19th-century London. to 1950s California, and changed 'his walking Martian war machines into slick hovercrafts. Other than that, this is a faithful rendition of the apocalyptic tale. Oscar-winning effects and 'crisp direction more ·than make up for cliche characters and campy acting. · - "Santa Claus Conquers. the Martians" (1964): There's an endearingly innoccnt 'quality to this surreally awful kiddie nick about Martian plot to 'kidnap Old Saint Nic~. Seems the kids on Mars arcn 't laughing and playing enough, and· some old wiillrd in a cave thinks Santa will change all that. The Manians here wear flabrevealing tights, capes, green face paint and helmets with TV antennas on them. It's all quite strange, inept, and, frequently, hilarious.

"The ima&inalion feeds on information. The more we learn, the more we have to extrapolate from." . In fact, Battin points out, it was scientific knowledge about the planet that attracled writers like Wells to Mars in the first place. Reports in 1877 of an intricate network of channels (originally thought to be can11ls) on the surface.of the planet fueled imaginations.·Gustavas Pope's "A Journey to MitfS," Percivall.q'":ell's "Mars," and Robert CfOIIlie'~ "~ Plunge Into Space" were just a few. of-the popular Mars litles publishfl around that lime. . . .· · But it was Wells' book- with its "oily skinned," ray-s\ln-to!ing attackers -that set the staflllard for Mars fiction for the next SO years;·aJIII created the enduring image of M'aitian and monster: · · .1 • , I' . · 1 "Those who have never'Seen a living Martian can sc~ely imqinc die strange horror-of its appearance," Well~ wrote.

On a temporary basis water can be purified by boiling or by chemical trealmenl When 111ing the boiling method, boil the water at a rolling boil for I0 minutes to kill any disease-callS' ing bacteria in the water. Add a pinch of salt to each quart of boiled water to improve the taste. If water cannot be boiled, treat it chemically.
