tor, would magnify 25,000O0O times,
which would bring Mars OFFICIALLY with
in a mile and half of the earth. At
first thought this would seem to give
the astronomers sight of Mars equiv
ulent to that which an air pilot OBJ
tains of the earth as he flies mile
and half above it. At that height
an airman could see cities, towns and
individual buildings, farms, orchards
and thousand marks of the activity
of man. Under the same advantages
an astronomer would soon know all
about Mars, where the creations Of in
telligent beings are believed to e1-
list on much sTander scale than on
earth.
But here a difficulty arises. The
airman is unconscious of the rota-
ton of the earth, because gravity pulls
the earth and air and the airplane
with a uniform motion. On the other
hand, if Mars were brought within a
mile and a half of the earth it would
be whirling so rapidly that the fea-
lures of the landscape would be lost
to the eye, as are markings on the
propellers Of an airplane revolving at
full speed
If magnifcation of 25,OO0,OO0
times or anything like it could be ac-
complished the observer could only see
small patch Of Mars. Mars rotates
it's 12,OOO-mile circumference once in
little more than "A hours, so that
at it's equator it is making a speed
of about ten miles minute, or about
five times the speed of a racing car.
II the observers were content with see
ing Mars Is miles off, the portion Wis
ible to them would still be streaming
past the telescope at the rate Of a
mile minute.
A camera Of instantaneous action
might take pictures at this. speed on
earth, but it could not be made on
Mars. magnifcation of 25,000,OOO
times would mean that the light Of
Mars would be diluted to one twenty
fve-millionth part Of it's brightness in
the sky, which would not be adequate
for rapid-fire photography or evan for
ordinary vision.

DEER FLEEs TO MEN FOR AID
Doe Runs With Fawn Into Lumber
Camp in California to Escape
Mountain Lion.

Downieville, Cal-That wild deer
when hard pressed by some enemy of
the animal kingdom will throw itself
upon the mercy of it's human enemy
was proved near here recently when
a doe led her fawn into the wagon
yard of a lumber camp to escape a
mountain lion.
The loggers were just starting for
the woods when the deer dashed ap-
pealingly in, the lion lowering in the
fringe of timber.
The doe and fawn stayed in camp
until apparently satisfied that all i'm.
mediate danger was passed.

WOMEN NEED SWAMP-RQO7

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
Ii the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm.
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer g. Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this er.-Advertisement.

Science Seeks
Secret of Mars

on an unprecedented scale. Such cur
RIGS" have been occasionally inter-
preted as signals from Mars, when
they came with a regularity that
seemed to be directed by human
intelligence. But they have been
shown most Enthusiastically to be con-
nected with sun spots.
The scheme, attributed to D. David
Todd of Amherst, well-known as
tronomer, of using great abandoned
mine shaft in Chile for the making of
a colossal telescope, has been the sub
iect of no little scientific discussion.
This shaft, which is said to have
6O-foot diameter, Is located near the
equator. 1t is, therefore, in the plane
Oh which the earth and all the other
planets whirl round the sun. The
shaft telescope has the disadvantage
that it could never be shifted, and
could only be used for that part of
the heavens which passes over it. But
it is calculated that Mars will pass
directly over it when it becomes big,
red disk in 1924.
Many Astronomers Scott.
Many astronomers have scoffed at
the theory of such colossal tel
escope, alleging that if the mechani-
cal difficulties could be overcome the
enormous magnifcation sought would
be useless, because the observer would
see nothing but blur. On small
scale, DR.. Robert Williams Wood Of
Johns-Hopkins had built a practical
concave-mirror telescope on Long
Island by rotating basin of mercury
until the liquid metal shaped itself into
the proper concavity. There are
limits to it's use, however, according
to astronomers If the attempt is,
made to build the abandoned mine tel
escope.
The greatest telescopes now in. use
sometimes achieve power of 5000
times as great as that Of the unaided
vision. This is only when the state
of the atmosphere is at it's best. Or
dinarily astronomers have to be con-
tent with much less, sometimes with
a magnifcation of 200 or 800.
"The atmosphere fixes an outside
| limit of magnifcation," said DR.. Frank
Schlessinger, director of the Yale OBJ
servatory. "Limitless magnifying
powers could not be used. Telescopes
will probably be made larger than at
present for use on mountain tops and
especially favorable locations, but the
tendency is to lose in distinctness as
magnifying power increases. Event
ually the object gazed on becomes a
blur, as if seen through a heat haze.
Only through great instruments like
that at Mount Wilson, and then only
under most favorable conditions have
objects magnified as much as 5000
times been seen with an unblurred
vision.

sanguine expectation of it projec-

Walter G. Rochelle of this city

400 pounds. Rochelle was pro-

he saw the herd of deer in the

leader shorted and, with horns
lowered, leaped at the auto,
which was going slowly. The
impact stopped the touring car
