WAY TO SIGNAL MARS
Professor David Todd Will Use

college does not believe it absurd to
plan for communication with other
worlds and in an attempt to get sig
nails from Mars will ascend in bal
loon to height greater than usually
reached, says Boston dispatch. He
will be accompanied by Leo Stevens.
the aeronaut. This plan to surmount
natural difficulties will be tried not
later than September, when the planet
Mars is nearest the earth.
Professor Todd, speaking Of the
novel test he has planned, said in part:
IF life really exists on Mars they
have been trying for years to get into
conversation With US and perhaps Won
der what manner Of stupid things we
are not to respond. Following this as
sumption, have thought that we
might feel their presence If we could
get high enough up, away from the
noises and the ether waves that sur
round us, up in the rarefed regions of
our atmosphere with nothing to dis
turb the communication.
"1n mounting high up in the balloon
to attempt to intercept any ether
waves that may be radiating from the
planets l shall be shut into metal
box made Of aluminium for lightness
and fitted with apparatus to drive out
the carbonic acid gas and supply oxy-
gen and with air pressure to prevent
sickness. In that way I can ascend
much higher than balloons have here
tofore gone. We shan take along the
wireless receiving instrument and try
to intercept messages from Mars, We
nus or any other Of the planets.
The planet Venus defies the tele-
scope. All we get from Venus is a
reflection from the planets atmosphere
or gaseous envelope. This very at
mosphere Of Venus is sign of proba.
Bile life on the planet.
I'VE cannot presume to send mes.
sages to Mars on this coming trip, but
will only try to receive. The question
has been raised Of how we should get
our grand connection necessary for
biography.
'There are several answers. We
will use what is practicable. If, in the
meantime, 1t is established that thou
sand foot wire hanging from the car
with surrounding atmosphere forms q
grounding we will use that"
When asked about the practicability
Of recent plans for establishing COM
munication with Mars, Professor Eric
Doolittle Of the Flower astronomical
observatory, University of Pensyl-
vania, said:
"The idea Of signaling to Mars with
the object Of determining whether or
not the planet is Inhabited is practical
and might be easily carried out by the
construction Of large geometrical re-
Electors in the plains Of Siberia. The
triangle, the square and the circular
plane could be used. Were we now on
Mars with our telescopes, such a set
Of figures would be distinctly discerni-
bic. II Mars is inhabited by intelli-
gent men, and II among them there
are astronomers watching this earth,
those men would see these geometrical
figures, and they would communicate
by constructing similar DEVICES"
Professor Doolittle thought that the
expenditure Of the proposed $4,000, $50
for establishing communication with
Mars would be impractcable until 1t
was definitely determined that Mars
was inhabited.

ward spring. which means more OPP
portunity for him to cash in before the
season Of gluts Of cheap cattle is in
augurated.
Good milch cows are higher now
than they have been in some years,
and many OF the old-time traders say
they never saw them any higher. The
fact is, the tuberculin test that is be-
ing applied In many localities has re-
duced the available supply Of good
cows and made competition very
strong. Dairymen who have good cows
are holding onto them. Milk is high
and good COW is worth more to the
dairyman. The difficulty of getting
good COWS is intensified by the COM
petition from killers who are gobbling
up a good share of the springers COM
ing to market. This has reduced the
supply Of COWS available for dairy pur-
poses very much and those which are
for sale are consequently bringing
high prices. Demand Is strongest from
the east and it requires good deal Of
work for New York traders to get to-
sether car load. The best COWS are
now quotable up to SIS.
One reason why no cheap hogs are
probable is the rapid dwindling of pro-
vision stocks everywhere in the west
Shipments of meats from all points OF
accumulation in the west have been
enormous. The south is stocking up
with product and 1t Is considered
doubtful if the summer run of hogs
will be large enough to replace stocks
now being depleted at lower prices
than the stuff cost last winter.
The weather is warming up and
country shippers should be careful
how they load hogs for market. II too
many hogs are loaded in car 1t is a
well-known fact in hot weather that
the feeder usually has few dead ones
on arrival at market. 1t takes only a
few dead hogs to take away all
chances of profit man has when mar
keting a load
Reports from central New Mexico
are to the effect that lambing is al
most finished. The winter was favor
able and wool crop much better than
last year. Present conditions are good.
There were many December and
January lambs in Arizona this season.
Wool is hardly as good as year ago.
Buyers paid 1S to 81 cents for wool.
Landing is completed by the first of
June in the northern part of the state.
The receipts indicate that farmers
are busy with their farm operations,
as arrivals Of horses for two days this
week total 1887. against 1886 for the
like period week ago and 1,163 for
the same dates in 1908.
w. H. Williams. of Madrid, was on
the market with two loads of cattle of
his own feeding. He says that short
fed cattle are selling proportionately
much higher than the long fed cattle,
and 1t does not pay to make a long
feeding according to the present de-
mands of the killers for the cheaper
kinds.
James Fitzenry of Breda, large
and successful feeder of cattle and
hogs, accompanied a two-car shipment
to Chicago. Mr. Fitzenry while liv-
ing in a territory tributary to the river
is one of Chicago's loyal
shippers. He reports a scarcity Of ma
tured stock in his section at present.
