apparatus they have thrown out to
us, in space, with new hope, mes
sages that might thrill us immeas-
urably. Each time their messages
have been unanswered because the
earth's cushion of air has kept
them from us.
This is the theory of Prof. David
Todd of Amherst college.
He believes that the blue air
above us is a veritable mine of
knowledge. The Martians, he
thinks, are thousands of years
ahead of us in all wisdom. If we
can talk with them, he believes,
we shall open new books of wis

for us, the problems we now face
and also many new problems we
have not yet even reached.
The first thing to do is to pene-
trate the cushion of air and to get
our wireless apparatus up above it.
OF course no pole 10 miles high
could be erected. But Professor
Todd, with Leo Stevens of New
York, believes that, with a bal
