or the possibilities of the case
Father John B. Hagan, Professor of AS
tronomy a. the Georgetown University,
said: Astronomers do not look forward
to the discovery of communication be-
tween the planets, and in fact, take no
interest in and pay no attention to ex
periments of this character. There is, of
course, no internal contradiction to the
problem, being only a question of means
On our side and the possibility of inhabi
tents in Mars. l would prefer not to make
any comments on this particular alleged

Chicago Jan. S.-Professor George w
Hough, director of the Dearborn OBJ
servatory and teacher of astronomy at
Northwestern University, said Tesla
asserts that his instrument was disturbed,
and that he is positive that the distur-
bancea was not caused by the sun, moon
or earth, and then concludes that it
comes from Mars or Venus. A dynamo

on any magnetic instrument located
block away, depending on the power of
the dynamo. 1t is probably some such
magnetic cause that produces the peculiar
effect on the oscillator spoken of by
Tesla.
This idea of communicating with the
planets is an old one. More than a half
century ago Thomas Dick, an English
philosopher wrote a book called 'Celes-
tial Scenery in which this theory
is discussed thoroughly. 1 am convinced
nothing new has been discovered on the
subject up to the present time"
John H. Kedzie, author of Solar
Heat. Gravitation and Sun Spots,' said:
THE theory is utterly visionary and i'm
possible. Tesla is a great genius, but is
not recognized by scientific pen as safe
authority on scientific subjects. When he
presents somthing he can prove to be
true, scientific men will be quick to give
him the credit due. The nearest point
to the earth which the planet Mars ever
reaches is 100000 miles. The making of
an instrument sensitive enough to record
waves at this distance is beyond the range
of human possibilities"

NEW APPENDICITIS CURE.
Successfully Treated without Re-

sort TO Surgery-Ice Used.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Press.
1t was noticed at the time the epidemic
of grip was first well developed here two
weeks ago that there had been an in
crease in the number of appendicitis
cases. Therefore. the theory has again
been advanced that this disease may be
due to certain atmospheric or climatic in
fiuences of a malign nature.
But perhaps the more important of the
developments following these recent cases
has been the success of a treatment
which does not require the use of tae
knife 1t seems to bear out the ella m
of former Surgeon General Terry, of this
state, that the diseases in a majority of
cases can be successfully treated without
surgery
Mr.. Olcott, general manager of one OF
the more important steamboat lines here,
brother of former District Attorney Oh
colt was stricken suddenly on the day
before Christmas with a well defined case
of appendicitis. lie suffered intense pam
and there were grave apprehensions as to
the course of the disease. To-day he Is
perfectly well and in fact ten days after
he was stricken he was again attending
to business He took very little medicine,
nor was the knife used.
Instead an ice cap was placed upon the
abdomen and as fast as the ice melted
che cap was replenished. 1t was kept IN
position for little over forty-eight hours.
Its success in reducing Inflammation, IN
causing the swelling to subside was COM
plete and the case will doubtless be spok-
en- of as indicating completely the 1udg-
ment of the physician who claimed that
the disease taken in time can be sue
cessfully treated by outward applications
Of ice.
James w. Alexander was in Paris few
months ago and there was suddenly
stricken with a severe attack of appendi-
citis. He was dangerously i'll, being IN
delirium a part of the time. The French
physicians informed Mr. Alexanders
friends that they had practically aban-
doned the use of the knife in appendl-
cjtis and said that the ice treatment was
being generally adopted in Paris because
of it's success. That was the treatmeh.
they adopted in Mr.. Alexander's case ana

Bicycle Car,

This morning there came into the
city over the Panhandle an improved
bicycle car manufactured by Treetor
Bros OF Haserstown for inspection
purposes on railroads. One great
advantage it possesses is the cheap
ness by which it can be run, and also
the short time consumed in getting
ready for emergency purposes if
necessary. The car has a
platform containing seats for
four persons. The car left
Hagerstown this morning at 900
and arrived here at 9:42, and even at
that the car was not put to its limit
as to speed. With two of the mem
bers connected with its manufacture,
and Superintendent Ohlenger of the
Richmond division and Mr. Jones OF
maintenance Of way, the car left
shortly after the arrival for a
trial trip to Cincinnati. Local rail
road men pronounce the car perfect
