flash signals. These preparations will
consist in the building of huge tele-
scope, and in experimental observa-
tons made with the cooperation of
the foremost astronomers of the
world. The object of this preliminary
work Is to decide whether or not the
canals of Mars are really artificial.
In all, three years time would be
consumed in these preliminaries.
"A correspondent of the New York
Sun. who states that he is practical
heliograph man, calls attention to a
fact which seems to have been over
looked. Prof. Pickering proposes to
make mirrors of such size that they
must necessarily be moved by ma
chinery. His idea appears to be that
if they were each ten feet across,
there would be about 500 of them to
the mile. The heliograph man points
out that a pocket mirror two inches
square will do just as much work as
mirror that is ten feet square. All
that any mirror can reflect is the
single image of the sun. He states
that it is possible to flash from 6 to
As miles with shaving-glass. This
seems to be borne out by the fact
that the standard size of an army
Photograph is less than four inches.
Hence, ten-foot mirrors would hardly
be any more serviceable than four
inch mirrors.
Prof. David Todd of Amherst col
lege also intends to improve the OH
portunity offered by the earth's prox-
unity to Mars next autumn to discover
whether or not the planet is really in
habited. He assumes that if Mars
has inhabitants, and ii they are as
intelligent as we are, they may pos
sibly attempt to communicate with
the earth at that time, and that they
may employ Hertzian waves for the
purpose. Ii is his plan to take the
most sensitive wireless telegraph re-
ceivers he can find up in a balloon,
in order to diminish any obstructive
influence that the atmosphere may ex-
ert, and listen for signals in space.
We wonder how Prof Todd can tell
whether his signals come from Mars,
or whether the receivers have not
simply responded to electrical waves
sent out from the SUM-"

SURPRISED HIM
Doctors Test of Food.

A doctor in Kansas experimental
with his boy in a test of food and
gives the particulars. He says:
II naturally watch the effect of diff.
ferent foods on patients. My own lit
tie son, lad of four, had been i'll
with pneumonia and during his conva-
lescence did not seem to care for any
kind of food.
IL knew something of Grape-Nuts
and its rather fascinating flavor, and
particularly of its nourishing and
nerve-building powers, so | started the
boy on Grape-Nuts and found from
the first dish that he liked it.
His mother gave it to him steadily
and he began to improve at once. In
less than a month he had gained
about eight pounds and soon became
SO well and strong we had no further
anxiety about him.
IAN old patient of mine, 70 years
old, came down with serious stomach
trouble and before / was called had
got so weak he could eat almost moth
ing, and was in serious condition.
He had tried almost every kind OF
food for the sick without avail.
81 Immediately put him on Grape
Nuts with good, rich milk and just q
little pinch of sugar. He exclaimed
when | came next day Why doctor l
never ate anything so good or that
made me feel so much stronger
81 am pleased to say that he got
well on Grape-Nuts, but he had to
stick to it for two or three weeks,
then he began to branch out a little
with rice or an egg or two. He got
entirely well in spite of his almost
hopeless condition. He gained 22
pounds in two months which at his
age Is remarkable.

prevents the tube from sinking too

into the center of the ham and the
