SIGNALLING TO MARS.
rhe Dimculty of Doing So by Means
of Light.

OF Light.
The very largest city that this earth
has ever known would be altogether
too small to be visible to a being
dwelling on the planet Mars, even II
that being were endeavoring to see it
with telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
In any observatory on this globe
II the whole extent of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and if that
petroleum was set ON fire, then, think,
we may admit that an inhabitant OF
Mars who was furnished with a tele-
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty conflagration would appear to
the Marian as a very conspicuous OBJ
ject. 1t would, rather, be very small
feature, but still | think 1t would not
be beyond the reach OF practiced OBJ
server in that planet.
On the other hand, IL an area the size
of Lake Superior on Mars was to be
flooded with petroleum and that petro-
leum was to be kindled, we should ex-
pect to witness the event from here not
as a great and striking confiagration,
but as tiny little point of just dis
cernible light. The disk of Mars is
not large object, and the confagra-
ton would not extend over the three
hundredth part of that disk.
1t is sufficient to state these facts to
show that the possibility of signaling
to Mars Is entirely beyond the power OF
human resources.-Sir Robert 8. Ball

Modern science has discovered that dan

scalp in scales, as it burrows down to the
roots of the hair, where it destroys the

ultimately, badness. After Prof. Unna, OF

He did not care for foreign trade,
But sold his neighbors all be made.

Small was his mill. his profits round
Clear was his head, his slumbers sound.
He envied none, he was enyied not
And died contented with his lot.
