HORSE HAS @STORE SWITCH"
Ct, Gordcn's Artificial Tail "the Oh.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The limit has
probably been reached in the manu-.
iacture of artificial additions to ma

ultra--a switch for a horses tail,
Switches for humans are mere
bagltelle for any wig manufacturer.
There are real hair switches from
Germany, switches made of Chinese
hair. of animal hair, and floss or even
wool. but to make a switch for

Now the valuable stallion has lust

he doesn't need to worry about how

day in a new role He delivered in
person at the Elyssee palace a petit
ton to President Fallieres, praying
that the president exercise his preros-
ative end dissolve the chamber Of
deputies and summon the voters 70
elect a constituent assembly.
The document points out that May

France. that new fourth estate hes
sprung up. which might be callel
"syndcalism" and which is increas-
ing in power daily; that the chamber
does not represent the majority III

NJ Gregori also asserts that reyolu-

would be wiser to ayoil revolution
by accepting the inevitable and crea-

would replace the obsolete constitI
ton with one better fitted for the COT.

Fever Eavors Whites.

Bridgetown. Barbados, B. w. l.
Sir Robert Boyce, the expert sent here
by the British colonial Office at the re-
quest of the authorities here to study
the outbreak of a peculiar disease,
after examining a number of cases,
diagnosed some of them as yellow
fever.
His opinion of the disease is that
it is remarkable for its difference to
the known type of yellow fever by the
mildness of its attack, its nominee
tious nature and by the fact that its
attack has been confined to the negro
population. Sir Robert has assured
those interested that the epidemic is
very limited in extent and mild and in
no may alarming to visitors. He ex-
pressed himself as remarkably sur
prised at the good sanitary condition
of Bridgetown.

CAN TALK TO MARS.
PROF. PICKERING SAYS 1T WOULD
COST ONLY S1o,coo,Coo.
Harvard Astronomer Believes Com
munication with Planet by Flash
ing Messages Would BE
Comparatively Easy.

Boston, mankind cares enough
about It to put out about 100000 00
there is no very good reason why the
human race should not be able TO talk
with Mars, according 10 Prof William
Henry Pickering, Harvard uuiyersity's
celebrated astronomer. Communication
with the Martiaus will be made posi-
bic, Prof Pickering declares, by adopt
ing his method Of flashing messages,
when Mars approaches the earth to
within 35000.000 miles. or about 5000
600 miles nearer than ever before.
Ten millions Of dollars is large
amount, he admits, but he predicts
that. once this means of celestial com
munication is established, the mes
sages will be easily recognized and un-
doubtedly answered If there Is intelli.
gent life on Mars, and that in such a
case. thu hitherto hidden mysteries
concerning Mars will become an open
book to the people of the earth. Prof.
Pickering describes his system IN
these words:
My plan of communicating with
Mars would necessitate the use or n
series of mirrors so arranged as to pre-.
sent a single rejecting surface toward
the planet. These mirrors would have
to be attached to one great axis, paral.
lei to that of the earth, run by motors
and so timed as to make complete
revolution every "a hours. II would be
necessary TO have these mirrors occu-
by an area of more than a quarter of
mile in order toreflect a sufficient guam
tity of light TO reach the Martians.
Even with such powerful apparatus as
is proposed, the reflected light would
not be apparent 10 the naked eye, but
by the use OF powerful telescopes the
signal from the earth could be dis.
ceTnihle.
Looking down from Mars this re-
Election would appear like a small
point of light upon the surface Of the
earth Supposing, with such a signal
i'm operation, we began a series Of
flashes, cutting off the suns rays for
an instant and then throwing on the
lchtttloH again. itl'"tih5 hhio d' -
regular intervals, following, say, the
telegraphers code of dots and dashes.
! have no doubt that. providing there
were intelligent people on Mars. the
light would at once attract attention
and would lead eventually to an an
swering signal Once we received
such an answer, the rest would be the
comparatively easy matter of estab-
fishing a code and transmitting mes
sages."
