SIGNALING TO MARS.
The Difficulty of Doing So by Means
Of Liz hit.

The very largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
too small to be visible to being
dwelling on the planet Mars. even if
that being were endcavoring to see it
with telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
in any observatory on this globe
If the whole extent Of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and if that
petroleum was set on fire, then. think,
we may adnlit that an inlabitaut of
Mars who was ful nished with Il tele-
scope as good as that which Pcrciyai
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see THAI something had naDDcned
l:ut we must not suppose that the
mighty Indignation would appear to
the Marian rs Il very conspicuous OBJ
jcct. 1t would, rather. be Il very small
feature. but still think it would not
be beyond the reach Of a practiced OBJ
server in that planet
On the other hand, if an area the size
OF Lake Superior on Mars was to be
Hooded with petroleum and that petro-
lcum was to be kindleu. we Shout OK
pcct to witness Tie event from here not
as great ana striking conagration,
but as a tiny little point of just dis
cernible light. The disk of Mars is
not large object, and the confla gra.
ton would not extend over the three
hundrcdth part Of that disk
1t is sufficient to state these facts to
show that the DoSSibiiity of S;cnnIirt
