waste OF grey. turbulent waters known
as the North Atlantic.
Rarely there does a days sunshine re-
veal The blne-green light and pas le shad

Rarely does the white flicker of a sail,
or the long. grey trail from a steamer

There was q group Of commercial trav-

But there were three or four other men

Planning to Signal Mars.

Prof. William III. Pickering of "IIarvar
now suggests a method of flashing sigma
messages to the planet Mars at the tipj
that Mars approaches the earth to WIFI
in 3J,0G0,000 miles. mex July. or 5,0D0
600 miles nearer han ever before. Iii
plan is to use a series of mirrors so an
ranged as to present a single rehectina
surface toward the planet and forming
continuous rejecting surface over "a quar-
ter of a mile square. The mirror w0ul
have to be attached to one great axI
parallel to that of the earth and run b
motors so planned as to make a complet
revolution every twenty-four hours. thu
carrying the rejecting surface aroun
with the axis once a day. This systeu
would cost $4,000 900.
This suggestion has been received wit
amused scepticism by the astronomer
now in Paris attending the i%nternatioaa
congress to map the heavens. Camill
Flammarion says that communicate
with Mars is entirely within the bound
of possibility. as every condition point
TO the probability that Mars is inhabits
by animal life.
