Prof. Davis Todd, of Amherst Col: lege,, is planning to ascend at Fort | Omaha in an American army balloon, | in a serious attempt to communicate { with the fiery planet by sofne sort of | wireless instruments that he has been | perfecting for a number of years. In | the report the professor is credited | with the statement that he believes { that his attempt will be successful, | it he can reach a height of 30,000 | feet. Six year ago, with Capt. Stev- fa as his pilot, he attained 22,000 eet. | Sir Frederick Stupart, of Toronto, | thinks that Mars may be inhabited, but he is eredulous about our eom< | municating with them. "In the first place I question whether Prof. Todd ever said quite what is attributed to him," he said in an interview. "EF don't imagine that we'll be communi- cating with Mars in the near future. | 1 don't think I have ever met Prof. Todd, but he's one of the well-known | American astronomers. I can't con- ceive that he will get to the height, and, if he does what is he, a poor mortal that has to use oxygen to | breathe at their height, going to do with ether waves? How do we know: people there, as are advanced as far as- we are in natural science?" Prof. Chat, of Toronto University, who has been interested in Mars also for many years, stated that he knows Prof. Todd. "He's a little sensation al," he said.

But every two r onths, it mn or proposes to send a message like this ~-- (pause) -- (longer pause)---, mean- ing, "two and two are four," but sup- pose the Martians do not understand ~-and wh¥ should they?" Mareoni's scheme is insignificant from the picturesque point of view. when compared with that of James (. Thompson, an American engineer, based on the investigations, of the - French scientists, Prof. 'Etehegoyen, in the Sahara desert. Thompson's scheme ig nothing less than to con- struct a Kuge triangular diagram on the desert of Sahara large enough': for the Martians to see. This he would 'do by three great canals; with their angular points at Stax. on the Tunisian Gulf, at Ell Abbas, in the heart of the desert, and at Nenous, not far east of the Southern Coast of Africa from Gibraltar, where it would be connected with the Medi- terranean Sea. The hypotenuse of this mighty triangle would stretch for a thousand miles from K1l Abbas to Sfax. He goes further, and sug- gests that the triangle should be generated on the canals.' The Mar- tiand, who are great mathematicians, would recognise the 42nd proposition of Euclid, and communicate in its terms. lt 2a ATR Tie FE E PartriddeRubber Company Limited Guelph Ont .
