Before we can communicate with
another planet certain conditions
must exist therein.
l. The planet must be inhabited
by sentient beings.
z. These beings must possess a
certain degree of intelligence.
3. They must be able and willing
to cooperate in an attempt to COM
municate with them.
4. They must exist on the same
plane of creation as mankind, and be
IN the possession of similar senses,
powers, attributes, etc.
The first three propositions are
self-evident; concerning the last

! this Illuminated area IS to form an
immense fame surface, of great bril-
liancy, that will appear to an OBJ
server on another planet as right
point CT area. The dark covering,
above mentioned, would intensity the
brightness and give distinctness and
outline to the signal light. The
Illuminating points should be so con-
structed and connected that the turn
ing of a key would instantly extin-
guish or light them all. Such an
arrangement would enable the signal
to be seen at the greatest possible
distance. Then by sending flashes
Of light at regular recurring inter
walls, an observer. on another planet
should be enabled to arrive at GER
tain conclusions.
Let us imagine a case. Suppose
the telegraph flashed from Mount
Hamilton to the four quarters of the
globe the strange news that pecu-
liar manifestation was visible on
Mars. Through the great glass it
appeared as circular spot of great
brilliancy. To the establishment Of
the observers, the light appeared
and disappeared at regular intervals.
First, the time between flashes was
three seconds, and the flashes con-
tinued five seconds; then the time
between flashes changed to five sec
onds, then seven seconds, then nine,
and then twelve seconds. Then the
flashes continued two, four, six, eight
and ten seconds respectively. An
other change, and the strange light
was seen two seconds; the next time
four seconds; then eight, sixteen,
thirty-two and sixty-four seconds.
Sometimes the series would be re-
versed. Sometimes the number of
seconds the light was seen cores
pended with the minerals, beginning
with one and continuing to twenty,
the intervals of eclipse being always
the same.
After noting carefully these facts,
the following conclusions seemed I'M
avoidable:
!. Mars is inhabited.
2. These inhabitants constructed
flash light visible ON the earth.
Some also arrived at third con-
clusion:
3. This light is maintained as
signal designed to attract the atten-
ton Of the jewellers of some other
planet.
Now, having our hypothetical case,
let US consider the plan under dis
cussion. If the signal flame were
flashed at certain intervals, the
length of intervals and flash forming
series or progressions, arithmetical,
geometrical, harmonic, ETC., what con-
illusions could the distant observer
formulate?
He world know thai this planet
was inhabited, and that said inhabit-
ants hal CONSTRUCTED q fash light;
and be would be justified in believ-
ing that It was a signal light for
other planets, although thelast con-
not strictly logical. IS 70
1t seems reasonable to suppose
that shonld such a signal be seen: by
ultra-murdane observers, shat they
would make an attempt to answer or
duplicate the same: but this brings
US to phase of the question about
which We can only speculate. And,
finally, as enormous expenses would
be incurred in undertaking an ex-
pertinent in this line, on a scale that
might promise any hope Of success,
it is not likely that our knowledge of
planetary existence will ever rise any
distance above zero until q genera
ton arises that loves wisdom more
than wealth.

REPUBLICAN organs have nothing to
say about the gerrymander that exists
in this state, but they are constantly
shrieking about Wisconsin, New York
and other states. Delaware county,
with its 1858 inhabitants, has a state
senator for itself, solely because its
vote goes for a Republican candidate
every time. This county, although it
had population of POI ,203 by the
last census, has no more representation
in the upper house of the legislature,
because the majority of the voters
here have intelligence enough to cast
their ballots for Democrats.

Governor Pattison for Senator.

The movement in behalf of Governor
Pattison for United States senator will
give liyelp impetus to political affairs
in Pennsylvania. Without something
like this to attract popular sympathy
there was danger that things political
might become stagnant in this great
commonwealth. Notwithstanding the
noisy display of energy with which the
campaign in favor of Representative
Dalzell for United States senator was
inaugurated, it appears to have almost
completely fizzled out. But with Gov
ernor Patton as a candidate Mr.. Quay
would no longer have the field to him
self.
An essential requisite to success in
this movement is the nomination every
where of good Democratic candidates
for the legislature. Popular candidates
possessing the confidence of the people
will receive the support of large mum.

These Republicans deserve to be sus

Besides the election of United States
senator, there are other subjects of i'm
portance for the consideration of the
next legislature of Pennsylvania. Among
the rest the new ballot reform law needs
substantial amendment in order to pro
mote the untrammeled exercise of the

Republican machine managers in the
state senate made the law as obstructive
and cumbruos as possible, in the hope
of rendering it odious and thus securing
its early repeal. But few amend

ought to be; and this can be accomplish.

in his right hand, which is behind his
back. With his left hand he holds q
small man in such position that the
large, keen knife may be sunk to the
hilt in his vitals at pleasure. "Hold on"
says the little man as he squirms and
turns pale, II am not going to hurt you;

against any party kicker; you may go in

Bad Taste in Jewel DesIgns.

There are some incongruities for which
it is difficult to account. Why will q
woman who is a good judge of picture
hang on her person naturalistic bug or
flower made out of gold and diamonds?
The Prince of Wales buys much jewelry;
it is his favorite gift on wedding occa-
sions, and he misses taste just as often
as anybody else. In fact he must bear
some Of the blame of keeping bad de-
signs in vogue. According to reports,
he presented not long ago to profess
sionally musical bride a brooch which
was an imitation of violin, and his gift
to his niece who was lately married was
diamond set flower. The pSnce can
make such designs fashionable, but he
can never make them in taste.
What is the matter with them? Sew
eral things. In the first place, jewels
shouldn't initiate natural objects. It's
long story why, but l will try to
abridge. Art that initiates is never
good art. limitations ask admiration
merely for the skill with which one
thing has been made to look like an.
other. This is an idea that has nothing
to do with beauty or with ornament,
and it is artisans and nst artists work
Besides, to use an object. as violin, for
another purpose than the one for which
it was designed is absurd and stupid.
This sort of thing is low kind of
humor, on par with puns.
True art is creative. 1t aims at pro-
ducing forms of pure beauty. Such q
form asks admiration for itself, for its
form or color, without conjuring up for
eign ideas. Art may make use of nat
ural forms, but only to combine theil
beauties into new form, never imita.

Fifty-four years ago Mr.. Gladstone
conceived the idea that 1t would be bet
ter for his eyesight were he to substitute
candles for the somewhat primitive
lamp by which he had been in the habit
of studying by night. The light shed
by two candles was not sufficient for his
purpose, but witA the infexibility and
perseverance whiA are his most marked
characteristics he continued to perform
his nightly task, with the result that his
right eye became so much weakened
that his medical adviser enjoined upon
him the necessity Of abstaining totally
from work, and living as far as possible
in dark room for six months. Long
before that period had expired Mr..
Gladstone made trip to southern Eu-
rope In company with his old college
friend, Sir Stephen Glynne.

Gladstone's eye threatened for a few
days to produce the most serious conse.
