MESSAGE TO MARS.

Prof, Pickering's plan Of flashing
signals to Mars by means of system
of mirrors costing S1O,O0O.00O is per-

devised of getting into communication
with the planet, says the New York
World.

impractIcable than the project of way

showed would require piece of bunt-

miles long. 1t Is more logical than the
plan Of raising a universal shout at a

PEOPLE CELEBRATE
VICTORY OF TURKS
Mehmed v, the Thirty-fifth Sovereign
Of Turkey, Is Formally Made
Sultan.

Constant,nople. April 27-The reign
of Abdul Hamid II, ended today with
his deposition and the accession of

The name is a variation Of Mo-

the house of Osman, the founder OF
the empire and the 29th sultan since
the conquest of Constantinople.
The two houses Of parliament, meet
ing as a national assembly, approved
the decree OF deposition. which was
read by the Shiek vi Islam. chief of
the Ulemas and supreme Judge on &C.

sacred law and set forth a long list

firing of 101 guns announced to the
waiting people that a new sultan had
been proclaimed.
The ceremonies connected with the
transfer of the power were simple.
The newly chosen ruler came from his
palace through the streets lined with
troops and cheering thousands and
took the oath OF the war office. He
then proceeded 10 the parliament and
later went to the Dolmabagtsche pal
ace as head of the empire where for
so many years he had practically been
a prisoner
Martial law was retained tonight
and the people gave themselves over
to celebrating the victory of the Young
Turk party and the end OF Abdul

Illuminated and thousands of rounds

STILL GREAT UNCERTAINTY
IN TURkEM

No one can foretell what this over
turning in Turkey will bring forth.
The old sultan is dethroned and a
new sultan is in power, but the ira
ditions remain to hamper the ruler
and with those traditions arc associ-
atcd the superSItions OF people
devoted to a religion that closes the
eyes of It's devotees to modern pro-
gress and holds tho masses in thrall-
dom.
II the new sultan, who is the young
er brother Of Abdul Hamid Is for re-
form, earnestly and honestly. and has
a fair conception of how n country
should be ruled In justice, the chances
are Turkey will emerge from its be-
nighted lethargy and take rank with
other nations.
But Turkey has the most stipend
OILS task a nation of heterogeneous
make up ever had. There are
dozen races within the empire and the
only thread which binds them is Mo
hammedanism. although the Armen-
ians and Greeks are not of that re-
ligion. How to rule over these mixed
races with justice will be a problem
for the new sultan to work out He
can continue TO nourish the hatreds Of
the Mohammedans for Christians and
allow the Kurds TO massacre the Ar
menians and by so doing move along
the lines of least resistance. but that
would mean neither progress nor JUS
tice. Perhaps there will be no great
advancement in that direction until
Europe interferes. demanding and
forcing religious liberty for all the
subjects of the Ottoman empire.
The sultans greatest opportunity In
the direction OF reform will be the cs-
tahlishing of confidence in the ruling
power md doing away with the in
trigues Of the palace, which made ex-
istence in Turkey hazardous, no man
knowing the moment when envy, dis
trust or conspiracy would cause an
order to secretly issue for his impris-
onment OF execution.

Federal commander in accepting the

President Taft then explained that
the remaining bitterness of that ter
rible struggle Is disappearing, and he
hoped to see the day when the last
harbored thought of strife would pass
away.
"It is a matter that I have very
much at heart" said President Taft.

DEPOSITION OF ABDUL HAND
NOT REGRETTED IN ENGLAND

London. April 27-The deposition
OF Abdul Hamid. as sultan OF Turkey,
so far as he personally Is concerned.
is not regretted IN England Foc
years past English diplomats have
been fighting against the lntrigues en-
anating from the Yildiz Palace and
they neye- really knew whether the
sultan was their enemy of their friend.
The effect that the deposition Is
likely to have in Turkey, however. is
another thing and fears are freely ex-
pressed today that the new admins
tration probably will have a more diff
ficult task in overcoming the prejudic-
es of the people in the provinces than
has been experienced In CONSTANT
nople.
For this reason 1t has been expected
here that the Young Turks would al
low Abdul Hamld to remain on the
throne, shorn OF his power, as con-
ce5sicn to the religious feeling of the
country and out OF respect to the diff
lerent parties.

A Soma Of Beauty.

A Song Of Beauty.
Oh, sing me a song Of beauty! I'm
tired of the stresstul song,
I'm weary of all the preaching, the
argument right and wrong,
I'm fain to forget the adder that un.
der the leaf lies curled,
And dream of the light and beauty
that gladdens the gray old world!
Oh, sing of the emerald meadows that
smile all day in the sun!
The ripple and CLEAN of the rivers
that on through the meadows
Oh. sing of the signing branches Of
trees in the leafy woods,
And the balm for the heart that's
hidden afar in the solitudes!
The birds-let them sing in your sing
ing and flash through the lines
you write.
The lark with his lit in the morning,
the nightingale charming the
night,
The butterfly over the flowers that
hovers on painted wing
All these, let them brighten and
tighten theotbeautiful song you
sing! go
And let there be faces of lovers, and
let there be eyes that glow,
And let there be tears of gladness in
stead of the tears of woe,
And let there be clinging kisses OF
lips for ttine that part,
But never a tristful shadow to dark
en- trustful heart!
Ay, sing me song of beauty-away
with songs Of strife!
Away with the spectre of sorrow that
saddens the most of life!
Though under the leaf the adder OF
death and of doom lies curled,
Oh, sing, for a space, of the beauty
that gladdens the gray old world!
