NEW YORK, Feb. iO.--IIave the IN
lhabHants OF Mars been attempting tc
communicate with us2
! This IS the question which for the
past week has been agitating scientists
on both side sOf the ocean. Mysterious
wireless signals have been received
Iboth in this country and in England.
| Where do they come frOm2
Some scient sts say Mars. Another
asserts Venus others say they are the
result Of disturbance on the sun.
Nik0la Tesla, whose researches have
resulted in important contributions TO
every field OF electrical science and
who Is especially we'll known as
wireless expert. does not believe that
the signals recently received come
from Mars. But he does assert that he
himself has caught faint impulses over
the wireless which cannot be accounted
for except by the suppositlon that they
come from Mars.
These sounds were merely the Sc
quence Of numbers, first one tap, then
two taps. then three taps, the simplest
idea that can be exchanged between
ons without any medium Of direct
lingusl communication. But the in
Sentor IS Of the opinion that II we
answered these we would finally be
able 10 advance 10 more complex mes
sages and that we could finally trans
init photographs by wireless and con-
Ney IDEAS through picture-writing.
Dr.. Tesla has planned to answer
these gnsls and has desiencd a tower
which would be able TO deliver power
lat the rate Of i0OO,OO0OOO horsepower
and would he thinks, be strong enough
TO repeat 10 Mars the one, two three
signal he received from that planet.
The inventor was asked about the
mysterious wireless sounds recently
heard.
They are wholly OF terrestrial orr
gin" he replied They have no con-
nection whatever with the strange phe-
nOmena l discovered in my investlga-
tons Of geo-electro-dynamics from
1899 to 1900 in Colorado At that time
! was operating under ideal cond tions.
there being no other wireless plant Of
any considerable power in existence
besides my own, which developed a
current OF 1000 ampers in the antenna.
sufficient to affect Understanding
instruments, as now employed. at any
point in the globe.
