By JOHN T. TIMMoNs.

TOR more than a year past this
RI country has experienced very
unusual weather conditions.
To put the matter in words easily
understood. nature has been some
, what unbalanced, and is far from
being righted at the present time.
We may expect more unusual
weather until things settle back to
their normal condition.
EARTHQUAKES in the south cause
colder Winters in the north. Seismic
disturbances in the northern lati-
tudes produce warmer weather and
more varied conditions throughout
the whole northern portion of the
globe. During the year 1912 the
earth tremors were recorded well to
the north, and the following Winter
was very mild and open.
In the past few months earth
uuakes have been observed farther
southwark, and we may expect more
severe cold than during the Winter
of 1928. This severe cold will
not be felt in the far north, but in
more southern ATTITUDES where mild
weather is usually experienced. We
had a sample of this early in the
year when it was so unusually cold
in California, and when Tennessee
and Kentucky experienced a severe
cold snap with very heavy SHOWS,
while Ohio and other northern
States were having very mild spring
like weather.
Throughout the greater portion of
the Eastern States and over the most
of the central valleys, the seventeen
year locusts will make their appear
ance in the year 1914. During the
years previous to other locust years
in this part of our country, those
making excavations would find the

brilliant light radiations.
Perhaps at this very moment
Martians are preparing to turn such
a light upon us.
The possibility that the Martians
possess a light different from any
which we can manufacture has been
put forward by Professor Percival
Lowell, the Harvard astronomer,
who has given up his life to the
study of Mars and established an OBJ
seryatory for that purpose at Flag
stan, Ariz. Professor Lowell is sat
isded that Mars is the abode of a
highly intelligent race of beings, who
constructed the canals for useful pur-
poses.
Arguing in support of this view in
his book, Mars as the Abode of
Life" Professor Lowell points out
that few years ago scientists said
that there could be no life at the bot
tom of the sea because of the in
tense cold, the pressure and the lack
of light there. Below 1900 feet
there is not sufficient light to pro-
duce the faintest impression on a
Photographic plate, while at 5000
feet the pressure is five tons to the
square inch.
AS soon as deep sea dredging in
struments were perfected it was
found that there was an abundant
life in the depths of the sea. To
make up for the absence OF sun
light, the deep sea fish living at
temperature below freezing point
produced kind of electric light Of
their own of nature not yet I'M
derstood by science, which brilliant
~ lights up the abyss and enables
them to catch their food
If these feeble fish can produce
such a light, why should not the
Martians, who perhaps have more
than human intelligence, do so? We
should remember that they are
aided in their labors by the slight
force of gravity of their planet as
compared with the earth. The force
Of gravity on Mars is only 80 per
cent of terrestrial gravity. Men
and mineral forms may attain
far greater size on Mars with
proportionately greater muscular
strength without being oppressed by
their own weight. Then, since all
bodies are relatively light on Marsj
mechanical powers could be much
more efficiently applied there than
here. Thus q race Of powerful
giants on Mars might be able to
achieve works hopelessly beyond
the range Of mans capacity on the

The brown hairy caterpillar that
so successfully predicts every Win
ter tells US that the coming Winter
will be strange one.
The caterpillar this Fall shows
dark from its head back to almost
the center, and then light from that
point on until at the latter end a
small very dark spot appears. This
would indicate severe cold at the be.
ginning of our approaching Winter,
followed by weeks Of very mild open
weather, which will run on toward
Spring, when we will get a very
severe dash of unusual cold. This
will catch much vegetation advanced
by the Midwinter warmth.
In the South the light on the cater.
pillars is less than is found farther
north. This indicates severe weather
in the South.
In some localities Fall pastures
are heavy. This is always followed
by mild weather during Winter when
stock may have an opportunity to

not in the South this year.
Potatoes grew deeper in the soil
this year than they ordinarily do.
When they lie near the surface, mild
Winters follow When they are at
the end of long roots down deep in
the soil we will have severe freezing
with little snow.
Loss by lightning in the North and
heavy SHOWS in the South may be
expected. Localities visited by more
than the average precipitation last
Summer and last Spring, will ex-
perience a very dry Winter, with
sweeping winds that will in many
instances reach the proportion Of

The coming Winter will interfere
in a great measure with many mat
ters upon which men depend greatly

IVY HEN shall we communicate
M with Mars?
w No SIlhiect nOnnacted with

w No subject connected with
astronomy interests people more
than this. Since the italian Professor
Schiaparelli first observed the won
derful canals of Mars, with their sea-
sonal changes and suggested that
they were the work of intelligent be-
lings, the idea that we ought to get
into communication with these Co.'S
mic fellow creatures has taken con-
stantly stronger hold on the imagi-
nation of all thinking people.
A French woman has just given
"a sum of $4,000 to the Paris Acad-
envy of Sciences to be used in estab-
(lishing communication with Mars.
She was led to do so at this time
because astronomers had informed
Der by the year 1924 Mars will only
be 35000,000 miles away from the
earth. This will be the most favor
able time for communicating with
Mars and the enthusiastic French
woman thought scientists should pre-
pare for it well in advance.
Mars has an eccentric orbit or
path around the sun, which causes
its distance from our earth to vary
enormously. When Mars is on the
opposite side of the sun from the
earth its maximum distance is 267,-
100000 miles away, while when he
is on the near side, the distance may
be as low as 35,000,000 miles, as al
ready stated.
The offer of the French woman has
led to an extensive discussion among
scientists of the possibility of COM
municating with Mars. The general
opinion is that it is theoretically
possible to communicate with Mars,
but that owing to the cost and
mechanical difficulties it is practice
ally impossible. The sum of $4,000
left by the Frenchwoman would not
be drop in the ocean in meeting
the problem.
Professor Miethe, of Berlin, a
leading authority on optics and
photography, is one scientist who
has expressed his opinion. He says:
Light and electric waves are the
only agencies known to us by which
communication could be effected.
source of electricity several million
times larger than any we now
possess would be required, and this
appears to put that method beyond
practical consideration.

begin by remembering that the

which is lust visible to the naked

NOVEL FEATURES AT
BRIDGEPORT AUTO SHOW.

One of the myriad of novel and dis
tinctive features which will greet the
eye of the visitor to the automobile
show at the Park City Rink next
week, March Bird to 8th will be what
is looked upon as the smallest motor
car capable OF performing all the
functions of the latest outputs. The
little fellow, which is to be christened
the first night of the show. is only IS
inches and one-half long, 8 inches
wide, and 8 inches high.
The wonderfully compact vehicle is
the product of the ingenuity of A. L.
Harris, an enthusiastic motorcycIist,
Of bridgeport, who worked for three
months to complete the car for the
Bridgeport show. 1t carries a com
mercial car body, and is capable of
doing no mean amount of work. It's
carrying capacity is 25 pounds, which
means that it could carry home the
weekly flour bag and still have plenty
of strength to spare.
The frame and wheels of the tiny
truck are of aluminium, fashioned by
the skilled hand Of Mr.. Harris. The
springs are of steel and the front axle
is of brass. Mr.. Hart used steel for
the rear axle, and designed the trim
wooden body himself. The car carries
a regulation looking windshield, and
is driven by four pocket light batter

TRADE CONDITIONS
REPORTED ON BOOM

New York, Feb. 24.-Trade condi-
tions in Mexico, depressed during the
recent revolution, are again on the
boom, according to Consul General
Enriq Martinez Sobra1, today, and he
intimated that the deaths of Madero
and Suarez will only have the effect
of furthering the confidence of BUSH
nessmen in the new administration.
The consul general declined to dis
cuss the killing of Madero and Suarez
on the ground that he could say moth
ing until. he had received instructions
from his government.
He explained that the Mexican CON-
sular service is under civil service and
would hardly be disturbed by the new
government but that the diplomatic
service, being political in character,
would likely see many changes.

American Literature Seen Through
French Eyes Prof Sanderson is a
keen critic of literature as well as a
sympathetic interpreter OF It, He is
also the author OF a translation into
French OF Gray's Elegy which has
been most favorab1y received by
French scholars. He was born in
FraAce and educated there His lat
er years have been spent in Harvard
and Yale universities. He thus has
the double point of view necessary
for the subject. His charm of man
ner in speaking is well known to
Bridgeport audiences.
AS to the subject, what is perhaps
the most important recent form Of
American literature, the short story,
is considered by many to be at the
height of it's development in France
Such writer's as Maupassant, Daudet
(of whose works, by the way, Prof.
Sanderson has been a peculiarly sue
cessfuI editor), Ba1zac, Merrimee, Cop
pee. are surely the equals, if not the
inspirers of Hawthorne, Poe, Kip1ing,
James. Edith Wharton and the rest.
There is evidently here, then, a very
interest ting phase of the subject, which
Prof Sanderson will no doubt treat.
