Naval Man Bothered.
SAN FRANCISCn Anril

SAN FRANCISCO, April 26.-The
Japanese cruisers Also and Ijichi will
visit San Francisco today according to
advices received at the navy depart
ment. The cruisers are being utilized
for training purposes, and carry 180 ca
diets. They are under the command of
Admiral Ijichi.
Entertainment of the Japanese visi-
tors is serious problem. The navy
department has no special entertain
ment fund and the only thing that can
be done is to take small amount from
the contingent fund. A certain sum has
been set aside for the purpose by Sec
rotary Boyer, but it is not enough to
give the Japanese sailors nearly as
elaborate an entertainment as the Jap
anese gave to the sailors of the battle
ship fleet. After San Francisco the
cruisers will 90 to Seattle.

Professor William Henry Pickering
Harvard's famous astronomer, who
claims he can signal Mars, if given
money enough, only about $4,000, 900
needed
July is fixed at the same time be-
cause the mighty planet then will be
100000 miles nearer the earth than
ever before. Professor Pickering is
confident that Mars is inhabited, and
by class of beings so intelligent that
they will recognize the signals flashed
from the earth and make reply, and
reveal mysteries which mankind has
been attempting to unfold for years.
The Harvard astronomer explains
his method as follows:
MY plan of communicating with
Mars would necessitate the use of a
series of mirrors so arranged as to
present the single rejecting surface to-
ward that planet. These mirrors would
all have to be attached to one great
axis, parallel to that of the earth, run
by moters and so timed as to make a
complete revolution every twenty-four
hours. 1t would be necessary to have
the mirrors occupy an area of more
than a quarter of a mile in order to
reflect a sufficient quantity of light
to reach the Martians.
