'killful engineers and artisans. Says

soh1lilul SllEluGSIS anu dGllSdUS. SAWS
he:
The recognition of another living
world besides us in space has come to
stay. Every approach of Mars and
the earth to each other in their orbits
as~funished stronger proof that our
neighbor is tenanted with life, and
that this life maintains itself by it's
canals
The editor of the Stellar Ray, a
scientific magazine, evidently knows
more about the planet than Prof
Lowell. He says the man from Mars
travels at will by thought vibration
Ii he wants to perform any feat of
strength he merely vibrates until he
feels strong enough to turn the trick.
Here are some of this other things he
has to say about Mars and its PEG.
pie:
They have marvellous methods Of
sound transmission. by delicately con-
structed instruments, causing the
sound given to one to be. reproduced
by one in harmony, thus reproducing
it for long distances. Harmony is the
great law, and so closely nave they
conformed to it that their surroundings
are controlled by their lines.
They have learned to equalize the
atmospheric conditions so that they
receive only the storms that are neces-
sary for them, and converse with each
other regardless of distance.
They have mastered aerial naviga-
ton, the material used for their
vehicles being combination of alum
mum and copper. They have passed
through the scientific age which we
are just entering.
With the editor of Stellar Rays and
Prof. Lowell arguing over the ques-
ton, Prof. Foster, whose weather
forecast appears in today's Courier,
comes forth and says that neither
knows anything about the matter, but
that he is the one that has discovered
all there is to discover about Mars.
He says:
Just now the astronomers have
much to say about Mars Theories
about that planet change. rapidly.
The canals Of yesterday have become
strips of vegetation for today would
suggest that the canals are irrigation
bitches about watch it would be nat
ural for vegetation to grow. l can
not accept the theory that Mars re-
ceives much less heat from the sun
than the earth does. The degrees Of
heat received by planet depends
more on its electric and magnetic con-
nections with other planets than on
it's relation to the sun. If communica-
ton is ever established between the
earth and Mars it will not be direct
but by way Of magnetic currents and
connections. These magnetic connec-
lions are by way of magnetic poles the
key to which will be given to the
world when | give out my discoveries
and how the discoveries were made
Prof. Foster holds the key to the
mysteries which his learned con-
temporaries are trying to solve, and
he keeps it locked up. He seems to
be taking a selfish stand in the mat
ter. Why should he not loan Prof
Lowell or the Stellar Rays editor his
magnetic poles that they might make
the necessary magnetic connections
and thus establish direct communica-
ton with Mars? This would settle the
question at once.
