SUGGESTED METHOD OF COMMUNICATING WITH MARS

That Mars Is inhabited, scientists
are convinced, and for years efforts to
communicate with the planet, $4,000
600 miles away, have been made with
out avail.
That communication between our
world and the Martians will one day
be established, however, is practically
agreed, writes d. S. Lands, a noted
scientist Following the death of an
army officer-scientist there came to
light papers dealing with interplanet-
airy communication which suggest a
way of putting into execution the long
dream of the scientific world.
This officer knew that a rife ball
driven by army powder Travelled 1000
feet per second, and the projectiles of
large cannon much faster. But they
fell after time. due to the attraction
of the earth.
He estimated that If pro1ectile
could be fired that would travel &c. 800
feet per second 1t would overcome
gravity and travel round the earth at
fixed height, returning to it's start

The number of homicides in this state

mediately ordered an investigation of
the Des Moines Ice Trust. Ordinarily
babies and ice have no intimate CON
nection. But in this instance they had.
says the Des Moines correspondent of
the New York World.
When the baby was born the other
day the proud father-it was his first
born-immediately called for pair of
scales to weigh the youngster. His de-
mand could not be supplied from the
house furnishings, but it so happened
that the ice man came along.
"A pair of scales to weigh the
baby?' said the iceman to the ques-
toner, sure, l have; what do you
think | weigh my ice with?"
Bring them in" said the attorney
general. Then the nurse carefully bun
died up the baby and carried him out
to the iceman. The beam on the scales
shot up when the baby bundle was al
tached to it.
How much does he weigh?" ques-
toned the anxious father.
Just forty pounds, said the iceman,
who was bachelor.
Il knew he was husky UNI" said
the proud father, who also didn't know
much about babies and he hurried off
to his office at the State house TO tell
the glad news and pass around the
cigars
How much does he weight" was the
first question put to the joyous father.
Forty pounds" the assistant told
Attorney General Byers.
why, you must be crazy" said Gel.
Byers. Then Lyons told the attorney
general just how he knew the baby
weighed forty pounds. Il guess all the
trouble is that the iceman has been
beating you out of thirty pounds OF icf
every day this summer" was Byers
comment. And now a petition is a5onf
to be filed to dissolve the ice trust.

ing place In one hour and twenty-three

Going farther he learned that if
velocity of $1,000 feet per second was
achieved, the projectile fired from
cannon on the worlds pinnacle would
pass straight into space, escape the
earth's attraction, and instead of fall
ing to the earth, would drop upon the
planet nearest it at the time.
This theory, if executed, would make
communication with Mars possible. A
speed Of $1,000 feet per second is not
impossible. When the gun and explo-
sive capable of such velocity are dis
covered, scientists can drop projectlle
upon Mars, beyond doubt.
A non-fusible projectile, partially hol-
lowed, could carry messages from this
world to any toward which it was d.
rected. The motions of the earth and
Mars being known, 1t would require but

Because. in the first place, flat dwell
