EDISON SAYS MESSAGE
TO MARS Is POSSIBLE
Doubts Inhabitants Have Apparatus
Delicate Enough To Catch
Signals, However.

ORANGE, N. j., Feb. 12.-Messages
from President Wilson and scores OF
other statesmen. scientists, men of
letters, old-time telegrsphers and
others were received yesterday by
Thomas A. Edison, congratulating the
relectrical wizard" on having reached
his seventy-third year. The Presi-
dents message read:
II cannot deny myself the pleasure
OF sending a message TO be read at
the celebration OF Mr.. Edison's seven
ty-third birthday. / am proud to
count myself among the friends and
admirers OF Mr.. Edison, and | beg
that you will convey TO him my
warmest congratulations and the hope
that he will see many very happy re-
turns of the anniversary, marked by
an increasing number OF scientific
triumphs."
Asked what he was working on
now, the inventor said he was not
prepared to make any definite an
nouncement, but his latest investiga-
tions had to do with ether.
As to communication with Mars.
Mr.. Edison said:
Existing machinery is sufficiently
strong to send a signal to Mars. The
question Is, Have the beings there
receiving apparatus delicate enough
to get our signals"
When the inventor was asked II
any of the inventions he was working
on at present was of a character like
ly to cause a scientific sensation, he
said:
Yes: I think I've got one OF tina,
kind. 1t is big thing" He refused,
however, to discuss it's nature.
