Ihas ST. ROBERT BAN Thinks Of the


what Sir Robert Ball Thinks of the
Possibility.
In The Pail Mail Magazine Sir Robert
Ball sprays some cold facts on the wllo
theories about the possibility Of signaling
to Mars. Even under the very most IA
vOrable circumstances, which can. IN Iact'
never be quite realized, the distance be-
tween the earth and Mars cannot be I'M
der 30. 100000 miles. II may indeed, be
said that 3J.O00,00O miles is nearly the
lowest value to which the distance can
decline under the present condition OF the
orbits, and this can only occur when the
opposition takes place, close to aug. 70
We may mention that when the hrst sat
elite Of Mars was discovered by Profess
or Hall on Aug. II, 1871, the distance
from the planet to the earth was S6,OOO'-
600 miles, which was still million miles
over the lowest distance to which It could
sink with the concurrence of the best con-
ditiOns The question then arises as te
the kind Of signal which could be trans
mitted across u distance Of 35,OOO,OOV
miles.
A building as big as st. PauPs catse-
dral on our satellite would about repre-
sent the size of the smallest visible object
on the moon. We therefore infer that
building would have TO be $50 times as
long ana lou .lines as Dioau as d. taul

HARNESS.
THIS ISN'T POLITICS

We don't it in political when that every
dealer needs protection We refer the protection afforded by the
absolute guarantee of the maker of his goods
II ne buys goods guaranteed that the manufacturer stands back
OF the quality and he give the strongest of

tain kind.
But the guarantee be that of
to mean something by it.
1t IS probable that many have been led give trial the goods
sold by W. H. Murphy Pennington from the strength his guarantee
There no equivoaon about it. Everything absolutely satisfactory
all the time or will be made That's strong promise but
no doubt OF its being daily fulfilled by this odsabed

TO MAKE NEW MAPS.
Surveys to Be Made of Important Pas.
sages Among Islands of the
Alaskan Coast,

The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS survey steam
ers Pathfinder and Macarthur, at San
Francisco, and the Patterson and Ged-
ney, at Seattle, are now fitting up I'M
der orders to proceed to Alaska to
survey important passages among the
islands along the Alaskan coast. The
existing charts are based on old Rus
sian ones corrected from time to time
by reconnaissance surveys made by
the coast survey, navy department,
revenue cutter service and the fish
commission. The parties on the first
two steamers will survey and chart
the Akutan and Unimak passages in
the Aleutian islands. These, with a
minor passage, constitute what is
known as the Fox island passes, which
form the important thoroughfare for
all shipping to Cape Nome and the Yu-
kon mining region.
The Patterson and the Gedney par
ties will work in Gross sound and Icy
strait which form the exit from the
Alexander archipelago, through which
pass all shipping taking the inside
route for Alaska. Another will con-
tinue the surveys in Prince William
sound and will develop especially val
liable navigation work in the Valdez
arm of the sound.
