Messages to Mars.

DR.. Charles p Steinmetz estimates
that wireless station for the trans
mission Of signals to Mars would cost
in the neighborhood of a billion dol
lars. rather more than any enthusiast
would be willing to spend on the re-
mote chance of establishing such COM
munications.
The Sperryscope (Brooklyn) sug-
gests that transmission of signals by
light is entirely practicable. 1t
says:
''Presupposing that the Martians
possess telescopes which are at least
half as powerful as our own, our es-
innate is that some $50 or 200 of the
Sperry high intensity searchlights.

DAY SET APART FOR FooLIHe
Practical Jokes Common 70 April Z
Have Been induissd in for Many
Generations.

There Is much uncertainty respect
ing the origin Of All Fools day, April
1. when for generations the people Of
many lands have held It quite per
missible to play practical Jokes on one
another. Some think 1t had its origin
in a miracle play Of the middle ages,
performed at Easter time. The Gus
tom Of sending one upon a bootless
errand on the, first day Of April has
been supposed to be a travesty on the
sending hither and thither of the
Savior from Afinas to Caiaphas, from
Caiaphas to PLATE, from PLATE to
Herod. and from Herod to PLATE, for
these scenes In the Saviors life
formed the subject of the miracle play
performed at Easter. which usually oc-
ours in the month of Aril. Others
think 1t more probable that II is a
relic of some old heather Celtic fes-
uval. II is believed that both Eng
land and Germany derived the custom
from France. In France one thus i'm
posed upon is called 'un poisson
d'Arvil" Gan April fish). In England
such a person is called IAN April fool.
in Scotland a gowk. Gowk is the
Scotch for cuckoo, and also signifies
a foolish person.
