MYSTERIOUS WIRELESS
CALL FROM MARS?
(Charles Torquet, in the August
MetrOnOlitan.)


Strange things are happening. For
some time past near midnight the
receivers of the wireless telegraph
stations have registered, and for a
long period at time, the signal three
dots, which is persistently repeated.
1t has been proved, after investiga-
ton, that from no earthly station
has such a message been sent at such
time What, then, is this mystic
rious call? These three dots singu
larly recall three points of light
which were. observed on the planet
Mars in 1901.
Midnight. Tap-tap-tap! Tap-tap-
tap, Tap-tap-tap! Three sharp lit
tie knocks, short and hurried, sound
insistently in the vast silence of the
Marconi station. Inc sleeping en-
ployes are awakened with a start,
and, frightened and vaguely anxious
they look at each other.
Did you hear it? 1t is beginning
again What is it, and what on earth
can be sending it?
Don't you know your Morse al
phabet? Three short dashes mean
S. Will that receiver never stop
sounding S -. S when
1t gets on ones nerves-listen'
Tap-tap-tap- Tap-tap-tap! Yes,
it is true, but what can we do? Every
night this happens at midnight. AS
long as S is being telegraphed, the
receiver will register it. When they
have had enough of it they will stop"
But in the loneliness of their sta
lions, so lost and solitary at the end

the wireless telegraph station feel, in
the oppressive silence of the deserted
night, those painful shivers which the
black wing of mystery sends creeping
up the back as it flies near. For sew
eral days past these three taps have
been obstinately repeated. Inquiries
have been made at all the stations in
the whole world. No one has sent
forth such a message. Some one is
telegraphing, but not from this
world. 1t must be, then, that the
message comes from somewhere be-
yond. What is this obstinate little
voice that calls to us in the darkness
across the cold immensely of sidereal
space?
Three dots? Wait a moment
| why, in 1892 and again in 1901 the
observers of the heavens were talk

| two years. through the most power

in lieu of money payments each of
the able-bodied inhabitants of the
rubber-producing districts was re-
quired to bring in a certain number
of pounds of rubber.
There have been compulsion and
harsh punishment. There has been
much shocking cruelty on the part
of officials. If the natives have re-
belled against the men who have
been their cruel taskmasters no one
need be surprised. Doubtless it is
we'll that they should be taught in
dustry, but milder methods should be
devised.
This is one phase of the subject
which makes this reported revolt in
the tropical forests of economic i'm
far the most important feature of
the Congo.
If the revolt should be general the
finances of the Congo state would
be in a bad way. They are based on
rubber. Nor is that all The manu-
facturers of this and other countries
who are using increasing quantities
of rubber in their business, and are
beginning to complain of an ina
quate supply. would be affected. The
great bulk of the American imports
of course comes from the Amazon
region. But the world is so closely
bound together now and the econ
omic situation is so easily changed
by an apparently small thing that a
revolt of natives in the forests of
Africa, who have been collecting over
$1S,000,000 worth of rubber annu-
ally, might disarrange. the rubber in
dustry of many nations.

\ THIRD TERM.

The New York World believes it
would be easy for the president to
secure the nomination for a third
term, and comes down to the figures.
There are, it says. 992 delegates to
the Republican national convention,
and 497 votes are necessary to a
choice
The southern states would be rep
resented by 1872 delegates. and in
these states, according to the World,
the Republican organization is in the
hands of the federal officeholders.
Twenty-six delegates come from
territories where the Republican or
ganization is, according to the World.
in the hands of federal officeholders.
One hundred and fifty-siX come from
states west of the Mississippi, where
Mr.. Rooseyelt's anti-corporation pol
icies are most admired and where
his lingo battleship demonstration Is
most popular.
The policy of the president toward
corporations is supported in every
state in the union. The movement
of the navy into the Pacific is not
objected to by any part of the peo-
pie. The power of the president in
the next national convention will de-
pend solely upon the support the peo-
pie give him. If the president de-
sired third nomination he could get
it most probably, SO firmly convinced
are the people of his rectitude and
of his loyalty TO popular institutions.
The president declared in emphat-
ic terms that he would not accept
a nomination, and his friends know
that he will not. The discussion is
interesting only as indicating the ex-
tremity to which opposition to Mr..
Roosevelt is reduced.

A CONGO REVOLT.

Reports come from the Congo
country of a serious revolt which is
in progress among the natives
against the system of taxation, or
forced labor, which is in vogue in
that state. The methods of raising
money for the support of the gov
eminent which are familiar in most
civilized countries have never been
employed in the Congo state, whose
natives have no taxable property So

Where meet the sombre craigs and
trending plains
Which shadeless rivnlets of Steptoe
Near canon's gate, the winding City
reigns,
A staid metropolis.
Down from the hills at night blows
cooling air;
In many myriads hang the lights that
glare,
And cause full Luna long to frown
and stare
AT new encroachments bold
Today the City builds her means with
will
With which to stronger forge her
greatness still,
And true to purpose she will hold
until
The work is wholly done.
With wood and stone and steel and
enterprise
We see the wondrous mining City
rise;
With millions linked, most firm and
deeply lies
Its strength and heayiness.
Long years ago. It's true, was kindled
here
The spark of conquest by far-seeing
seer;
But only yesterday did flames appear
OF measured consequence.
Where roamed Shoshones with their
beads a-gleam,
And tinkled long the bell of freight
ing team,
Now skyward fly the downy flags of
steam
From busy engines throat.
The City is the warden of the vaults
That lie in mountain lodes and hid
den faults.
She digs and crowds developments
nor halts
Her all-consuming haste.
Far thread the canon's vending, de-
vious way
The bands of steel, a highway thus
to lay
For throbbing wheels of steam that
now today
Go shut ling to and fro.
The City's flag sincerely flies I'M
furled
And valley-ward are mountain car
goes whirled
To hungry metal markets of the
world
With measured certainty.

THE IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

The fifteenth national irrigation
congress will be counted the most
important meeting of this character
ever held in this country. The pro-
iects which it seeks to encourage
are vast in their scope The posi-
bilities attending these plans are al
most boundess. An object lesson
is afforded the delegates to the con-
gress in the valley of the San Joa-
quin and Sacramento, which is con-
sidered the greatest irrigable district
on the continent. 1t is 500 miles in
length, and may contain 100000
acres full of promise for the future.
The United States geological sur
vey, and later the national recla-
nation service, have been at work
for years in studying the problems
of the arid regions of the west. Topo-
graphical surveys have been made
been estimated, both that on the
surface, and that underground.
Places of value for storage purposes
have been located.
These preliminary studies have
given way to practical work at a
number of points, until at present
twenty-five distinct projects are be-
ing pushed When completed these
will provide water for more than
3,O0O,O 900 acres of new land for ag-
ricultural purposes. To perfect them
will require an outlay of 100000, 600
so magnificent is the scale upon
which the work is being carried on
Irrigation canals are being con-
structed often despite great engin-
eering obstacles. Mountains are be-
ing tunneler to furnish channels.
Natural basins are being damned to
provide places for the storage OF wa
ter, which is plentiful in the rainy
season. but which runs low during
the other half of the year 1t is es-
timated that the land thus to be
made available to settlers will pro-
vide 100000 farms. A safe calcula-
ton is that homes and supplies of
food for total population of p
100000 people will be possible when
the projects now under way are COM
pleted.
AS a matter of fact the work has
Just begun. Every year something
new is suggested. The recreation of
vast areas seems entirely possible
under the steady encoura cement of
reclamation projects. Such work
means large increase in the acre
ages available for agriculture,
large outlook for many thousands
of future farmers, a marked addi-
ton to the wealth which comes from
the farms, and a consequent opening
of new avenues for trade and COM
merce. The subject is one which
lends itself to enthusiasm. The pro-
jects appeal to one because of the
largeness of the opportunities. II
is little wonder, therefore, that the
west, notably California, is so much
isterested in the forwarding of meas.
ures which are full OF hopefulness
for the coming years
