President Putnam's letter an nounced that the association would make the trip in a body and would either come in a Pull man special, which could be used as quarters, or rely on local hotels. In his reply Director Wood advised that the Pullman scheme be carried out, for the reason that it may be difficult to make reservations at the hotels so far in advance and that, during the summer months, it is very prob able the hotel capacity f the . city will be severely taxed. The National Editorial Asso ciation meets at the Exposition on July 19 and it is understood that the Oregon Association de sires to be there at that time. Pending further advices from Oregon, Director Wood will take the matter up with the local ho tel mens association to see it their hard and fast rules as. to reservations cannot be suspend ed in favor of the visiting news papermen. It is very likely that the Washingtou State Editorial As sociation will declare in with the Chamber of Commerce and Press Club in the matter of en tertainment as President Albert Johnson, . of that organization, is a vice-president of the local press club and it is known that ne has been planning an elabor- ate reception program for visit ing brethren. . - Subscribe for the Gazett e monthly lor such purpose through the election of the fol lowing nine men to-wit: M.

Sold by 4 Undersoil 1 French Astronomer, However, j Bug- gests Use of Electric Light Reflectors at Night Says Martians May Have Tried to Speak to Earth's Inhabitants Ages Ago. Professor W. H. Pickering's plan of. signaling Mars by a series of gigantic mirrors was submitted to M. Camille Flammarion. The proposition has the full approval of the eminent French astronomer, who said: - The project certainly Is quite feasi ble. Signaling with light reflectors, of course, is the only practical method of attempting to communicate with other worlds, and Professor Pickering has very wisely suggested July as the best time for making the experiment, be cause, although Mars will.be nearest to the earth ' in September, the two planets at that epoch are In apposition so obviously that it would be impossi ble to reflect the sun's rays from the latter to the former. In July, however, while only 90,000,- 000 kilometers, roughly, will separate the two worlds, they will be so placed that if lines were drawn from one to, the other and from each to the sun they would form a triangle and sig-. naling would become theoretically a very simple affair. "Naturally the practical details of the scheme present difficulties of exe cution, but none should be insurmount-.; able, especially if the $10,000,000 pro-,; posed by Professor Pickering be placed at his disposal. This is not the first time the plan of communicating with Mars by means of mirrors has been evolved. Forty years ago M. Charles Gros, a friend of mine, made the sug gestion, which aroused a great deal of discussion in scientific circles. "Other savants from time to time have studied the possibilities of such a scheme, but personally I think a still better way of putting a system" of mighty reflectors in practice would be by electric light' reflectors at night, as the luminous projections thus thrown from the dark surface of the earth would be seen much more, easily than a reflected light intense enough in it self, but neutralized to a certain extent by the bright surface of the sunlit j earth. ' - : "In either case the signals could cer tainly be seen by the Martians, ' pro vided they possess instruments and other means of perception equivalent to our telescopes. The experiment might be- made in any part of the world. Supposing the signals were seen and answered, the rest would ,b? easy. - - . -- "First primitive calls exchanged would be Just the Interplanetary tele graphic 'Are yon there?' Once commu nication is established the invention of a code of thought transmission and intelligible for both worlds would be a comparatively easy matter. "The fact Is there is no doubt that the Martians, if ' they exist, have al ready attempted to get Into communi cation with our planet It must not be forgotten ' that the telescope was un known 300 years ago, and only within the last hundred years have astrono mers studied Mars seriously, so It may be that, unperceived by the inhabit ants of the earth. Mars signaled to us thousands of years ago and, obtaining no response, abandoned the- efforts, concluding that our planet was unin habited. - "The luminous phenomena observed recently, on the surface of Mars were not signals; they are satisfactorily ex plained by natural causes. "I should add that the signaling sug gested by Professor Pickering need not be discontinued even if no immediate results be obtained. But a period of fifteen years must elapse before Mars comes so near the earth as in Septem ber. It will come near enough every two years for light reflectors covering an area of a quarter of a mile to.be visible to' the sister planet" Paris Cor. New York Herald. Cobless Ccrn Experimsr.t. E. . P. House of Greeley, Colo., the dry' farm plant experimenter, - has re ceived from H. J. Sconce of Sidell, 111., one seed of cobless corn grown by the Illinois man. . House asked for three seeds, to plant in a hill, but only one could be spared, and it will be carefully tended. The cobless corn grown by the Illinois man resembles very closely the "primitive husk" corn. Each kernel grows on a parent stem, and each kernel Is inclosed in its own husk, all being enveloped in one large husk. The Illinois man has succeeded hi eliminating the stem and by taking the very tiptop kernel of the present variety expects ultimately to evolve a perfect cobless corn. The Illinois Agri cultural college is fostering the experi ment and believes in its success. New Way to Forecast Weather. To. test the water of Lake Michigan and thereby get the information neces sary tt forecast the weather is the plan of Major H. B. Hersey, the weather b,ureau Inspector at Milwau kee. He says that to obtain the neces sary data will be a work, which, will require , at least three years' experi ment and then there - will be every reason to expect successful long dis tance forecasts can lie made.' He says there is no doubt that the water of the lake controls the- temperature., of Mil waukee; and the proposition is to as certain the temperature .of the water at the surface and at twenty-five and fifty feet belpw.lt under varying con ditions for three successive seasons.
