Talking with the People of Mars Is Sub.
ject t. Many Difficulties.
There are many things to be taken
for granted before we can believe that
it is possible to communicate with
Mars.
l. That the planet Mars is inhabited.
2. That it is inhabited by beings hav-
ing writteh or spoken language. or
both.
3. That these people are as well up
in astronomy as We are.
4. In order to base any hopes on the
experiment with the kite man. we

it much nearer to perfection than any
body on this planet has done.

crate, debate about them at will.
weigh possibilities and probabilities.
but at last we may come back to the
bold and uncomfortable fact that we
know nothing about them. Whatever
we say about them Is pure guesswork.
But If all of them were positively
known with scientific accuracy, the
difficulties In the way of communicat-
ing with Mars or any other planet
would still be enormous. We have and
can have not the slightest knowledge
of what sort Of language the people Of
Mars speak, 1t is safe to say that they
are not in possession of the Morse al
phabet or anything like it. If they sent
us signals they would be wholly unin-
telligible. If they could write or print
words in their language upon any sub
stance attached to an instrument we
could not read them. Mars has an aver
age distance from the earth from the
earth of nearly 100000 miles, but 1t
sometimes gets within 35,O00,O00. Wire
less telegraphy will have to make great
advances before it can cover distance
like that. If we are ever able to signal
the planet Mars in any way and get

T he hack was crowded and the
door was locked. AS the convey.

broke down throwing the occupants
about and bruising many of them.
The rear door was locked, and the
disabled vehicle extended across the
northbound rails.
In the distance a freight train
was approaching. Several Of the
passengers climbed through the
windows of the hack, and at length
Frederick Mammele of this city,
who was sitting toward the end OF
the hack, burst the door open and
the occupants were enabled to get
out.
In the meantime the freight train
had approached to the station,
where it was stopped IN time 10

the people imprisoned within it.
Had it been an express train it
would have crashed into the party
before it could be tagged. Noe of
the occupants was seriously hurt,
