Messages to Mars.

Dr. Charles r. 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 he willing to spend on the re mote chance of establishing such com munications.
 The Spcrryscope (Brooklyn) sug- gests that transmission of signals by light is entirely practicable. Ii 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 900 of the Sperry high intensity searchlights, each over billion candlepower, would be sufficient for this purpose. If op- erated together they would appear as a star of the seventh magnitude to the inhabitants of Mars. and light of such brillance would, of course. be easily dlscernlble through a telescope n clear weather"

Liberal Supply Of Caramels Necessary to Make Horse Pose for Statue
 of Lafayette.

Horses can be temperamental at times as Paul w. Bartlett, the sculp- tor. found when he sought to induce q high-spirited animal to pose quietly in his West Fourth street studio, the New York Evening Sun says. The sculptor is now working on the statue of Lafayette, which Is to be presented to the city of Metz in France by the Knights of Columbus.
 An arstocratic as well as m artis- lie horse was needed for reproduction as Lafayette's mount. After some searching, Mr Bartlett got in touch with the proper animal and invited him down to the studio. Part of the doo- and side of the building were re- moved to get the horse into the studio and when inside he promptly knocked over several plaster casts of considerable value. especially to the artist.
 After preliminary experiment. Mf. Bartlett was delighted to find that un- der the soothing spell of the caramel the wonderfully lined animal would stand cOutentedly chewing for long periods while the willy sculptor trans formed him into a statue. so to speak.

There are more mosquitoes in Pres cott than has been for years and years. of course this has been wet year. but that is no excuse for people letting weeds grow all over their premises.

The same law says the marshal shall arrest any and all parties who do not keep these gutters or ditches cleaned out. Is it being done?
