to The Star correspondent the following
message to readers of The Evening Star:
II believe that the President will certain
ly recover.
1.-The official bulletins stating the condition
of the President are very conservative;
they must be read between the lines 20 see
all the indications of Improvement. Every
condition appears to be favorable and If
no untoward change occurs today / believe
the danger point will have been passed.
'Since the terrible event occurred last Fri
day every circumstance has been favorable
to the President s recovery. The prompt
ness and success of the operation, together
with the fact that he was SO quickly re-
moved to the Milburn house. where he
found such admirable conditions, that he
has received the best medical and surgical
attention since, the change to cooler wealth

stances which favor the President in his
brave fight for life. The Presidents splen-

done much toward his recovery"

Estimating the capacity Of the con
denser formed by the earth, the planeJ
and the intervening medium, | find that
we should be able to transmit in this
manner to Mars, at intervals energy
at the rate OF l-5OOOOh Of 4 horse
power which in the tuned circuit on ,hJ
planet, by skillful construction and ad-
justment Of apparatus could be intensi-
fled to a rate Of one-fifth OF one horse
power. and considerable portion OF
this accumulated energy would be
available for the operation of the re-
ceiving instrument,
The attainment Of this enormous rate
OF energy delivery is made possible by
the fact that in using these novel
means we should not dissipat5 the en-
ergy at the transmitter uselesSly in all
directions through space, as We should
when employing rays; We should simp-
ly transmit electrical stresses through
the medium. 1t is as if we had a weight
less. elastic bar extending from our
globe To the planet, and as il We were
transmitting energy by pushing this bar
back and forth. The above rough eSt-
mate is obtained by Ignoring the dis
turbing influences Of the sun and Of
other planets, but by making all due
We could still convey to its
place Of destination an amount Of en-
ergy many million times tha, possible
with radiant light or heat. As far.
then, as our ability OF communicating
with Mars is concerned. far from be-
ieving it impossible, We are justified
N considering 1t practicable.
Why should Sir Norman Lockyer
ioubt that the energy would reach the
planet? Does not the fact that electric
disturbances are produced in the earth
