magnetic disturbances of great and de-

periodically, too; SO that by their force
and their definite order of recurrence
they would send o shock through vast
distances, and COMPEL the attention of
dWellers on another sphere. Then
they might respond with similar move

magneJOmeters; and so We could start
a conversation.
