SIGNALS FROM A PLANET
TESLA SAYS HE HAS

Tnllc With TJ,
(Special 40 Chicago Times-Herald.
New York, Dec 3L Nikola Tesla, the
clzard of electricity. Is completely satis
fied that attempts are being made by the
Inhabitants of some other planet to com
municate with the people of this earth.
"In some experiments I have been con
ducting for some time," said Mr. Tesla
today to the Timeo-Herald correspondent,
"I have bean noticing disturbances that
have had a peculiar effect on my Instru
ments. "What these disturbances are
caused by I am unable to say at pres
ent, but I am firmly convinced that they
are the attempt by some human beings,
not of our world, to speak to us by sig
nals. "I am certain of some points In con
nection with these things I have no
ticed. I am absolutely certain that they
'are not caused by anything terrestrial.
I know, too, that they are not caused by
the sun or moon, and hence I am forced
to the belief that they come from some
other planet.
Can Talk to Mars.
"That we can send a message to a
planet Is certain. That we can got an
answer is probable. Man on earth is not
the only being In God's great system
of worlds that is in possession of a mind."
So spoke the great Inventor in explan
ation of his message of greeting to the
new century, given to the Red Cross As
sociation, and read at all the watch-night
services conducted by that organization
In different parts of America tonight.
The message given out by Mr. Tesla was
written by him on Christmas eve, and
this Is how It reads:
"The retrospect is glorious, the pros
pect is inspiring. Much might be said of
both. But one Idea dominates my mind.
This My best my dearest is for your
noble cause.
"I have observed electrical actions
which have appeared inexplicable. Faint
and uncertain though they were, they
have given me a deep conviction and fore
knowledge that ere long all human be
ings on this globe, as one, will turn their
eyes to the firmament above with feel
ings of love and reverence, thrilled by the
glad news: 'Brethren! We have a mes
sage from another world, unknown and
remote. It reads;
" 'One two three "
Pnzzlcs the Wizard.
For a long time It has been known to
the scientific associates of Mr. Tesla that
some remarkable phenomena had been ob
eerved by him in connection with the ex
periments he has been conducting. These
experiments were in. connoctlon with vi
brations and the earth itself has been the
subject.
"Some remarkable effects have been
noted by Mr, Tesla of a terrestrial na
ture, and some which were palpably
caused by the sun and moon. But there
are others unexplained and inexplicable.
These Mr. Tesla confesses puzrle him.
but he has been patiently at work on.
them, and his conclusion Is that they are
the result of attompts made by the denl
eens of another world to open communica
tion with the people on oarth.
How long these attempts have been go
ing on. is, of course, problematic. It is
possible they have only just begun. It
Is possible, also, that they have been go
ing on for centuries.
"Above all," said Mr. Tesla, "please
bear in mind I don't assert that the
phenomena I have noted are from an
other world. All I can say Is that I am
positive they are caused neither by. the
sun, moon, nor earth. Therefore, from
their nature, I am completely given over
to the conviction that they are the first
attempts of some other planet to open up
communication with us.
Faneinatine Field Open.
"Of course. In an Interview it is im
possible for me to go into the details
of these phenomena. Suffice It to say
that all I have observed has been of the
simplest nature rather a sort of sugges
tion that a question as to whether we
understand is being asked.
"Aside from all that I have noticed and
end the question of the probabilities,
the question of interplanetary communica
tion Is one of the most fascinating that
man can imagine. Since the conviction
came to me that possibly we are on the
evo of the most marvelous thing that has
ever come to pass, I have been complete
ly carried away by thinking of the won
derful possibilities that lie behind such a
consummation.
"To begin with, supposing it were defi
nitely discovered, as I feel certain it will
be, that the people of another planet wore
signaling to us, there would bo the pre
liminary calls and their answers. These
might take years to perfect. That is
what I refer to in the 'One, Two, Three'
of my message.
"Thore must be a beginning a primary
as it were, before actual messages could
be sent and received. Both worlds would
be compelled to reach a common basis
of mutual understanding ore actual greet
ings oould be exchanged. And then would
come such revelations as would astound
us all. Why, even as I ponder on the
possibilities of all that lies in this marvel,
I feel uplifted, and almost. I might say.
purified with even the contemplation of
such a stupendous matter."
Queer Lights on Mars.
The attention of Mr. Tesla was called to
recent suggestions made by Flammarlon
and other noted astronomers that Mars
might be communicated with by signal.
Several unusually bright lights have been
seen lately on different parts of the sur
face of Mars, and the idea has been ad
vanced that perhaps these might be sig
nal lights, Hashing in the hope that the
people of the earth might notice them
and send an answer back.
Flammarlon, however, says that the
bright lights are not signals, but merely
the reflections of sunlight of clouds that
ere clustered about the Martian mountain
tops. Mr. Tesla explained why. In his
opinion, signals by such means would be
Improbable, and to the earth Impracti
cable. He pointed out that to flash a signal
light from the earth to Mars would re
quire a reflector at least a mile square.
T construct such an instrument and
properly control Its flashes would be im
possible at this end. What the Martians
could do, of course, is mere conjecture.
Therefore Mr. Tesla is of the same opin
ion as Flammarlon In regard to the signal
lights he discards them.
Besides. Mr. Tesla is of the opinion that
Venus, not Mars. Is more likely to be
the planet that Is the cause of the phe
nomena he has noticed.
"I have noticed these disturbances when
Venus Is rising," he said, "and henoe have
come to the belief that perhaps while
others have been panning to talk to Mars
Venus has been trying to signal to us.
Talk of Weird Signals.
"Now, a word as to answering the sig
nals that I feel certain are being directed
at us. Of course, the Inhabitants of some
other planet may be in possession of
iome powor of which we know nothing,
or they may have a greater control over
electrical forces than we have. But it Is
reasonable to suppose that the signals I
have noticed are electrical In their na
ture. In fact, they must be or my In
strument would not have noticed them.
"My theory is that this matter should
not be passed over, and I feel certain
that scientists, sow that their attention
is called to the marvelous things I have
noticed, will agree with me that some ar
rangements should be made at once for
recording these disturbances in a coher
ent manner. To do this observatory sta
tions should be erected and every at
tempt made to catch some of the signals
and perhaps planning to answer th3i.
"Already we are able to send over tho
surface of the earth a wave of electricity
at any speed which may be desired by
the manipulator. And this brings me to
the subject of transmitting messages
across the ocean by electricity and with
out wires. Therefore, as the greatest
spaces can be the more easily bridged
without wires, I can see no reason why we
cannot, in a comparatively short time,
open a communication with either Mars
or Venus, or perhaps both.
Can Shake a Planet.
"In the measurements I have taken and
the calculations I have made, and with
the success my oscillator's vibrations have
met on the earth, I am certain that ef
fects from a similar cause can be ex
tended until they are perceptible on some
of the nearer planets. That we can se
cure a disturbance on a planet by the agi
tation of the electrical conditions sur
rounding the earth Is not to be doubted.
"However, when I suggest a vibratory
method of opening up a signal service
with some of the planets, I know that
I am going into a field that has not
been tried or suggested by the other men
who have made a study of Inter-planetary
communication. All these have had the
Idea of a vast reflector uppermost in
their minds. Such a plan is plainly im
practicable for the reason I have men
tioned. Such a vast surfaee would bo
necessary to throw a ray of light to such
a vast distance that it is out of the
question. Electrical vibrations are the
only reasonable means we can suggested
In this case.
PUMP
"Of course Immense and powerful ma
chinery would be necessary for the pro
duction of vibrations that would do the
work I have In mind. Also this machinery
would, of necessity, have to be of the
utmost delicacy, so th?t every disturbance
coming in contact with It would be re
corded beyond any question of doubt. The
vast distances to be taken Into consider
ation and the immensity of tho under
taking show without comment that noth
ing in connection with It could be done
on a small Scale.
"To conolude: I am certain, as I have
said, that some planet is knocking at our
door. My dearest wish is that I may be
the one to soy to the new century that
at its dawn r was the being chosen to
speak the word which means so much
to science and even so much to the great
brotherhood of man."
HOW BUTTERFLIES SLEEP.
They Are Scnrccly DistinstilsIiaWe
From Their Surroundings.
The butterfly invariably goes to sleep
head downward, Its eyes looking straight
down the stem of the grass, says the Lon
don Spectator. It folds and contracts its
wings to the utmost, partly perhaps to
wrap Its body from the cold. But the ef
fect is to reduce its eize and shape to a
narrow ridge, making an acute angle with
the grass stem, hardly distinguishable In
shape and color from the seed-heads on
tnousands of other stems around. It also
sleeps on the top of the stem, which in
creases its likeness to the natural finial
of the grass.
In the morning, when the sunbeams
warm them, all these gray-pied sleepers
on the grass tops open their wings and
the colorless bennets are starred with a
thousand living flowers of. purest azure.
Side by side with the "blues" sleep the
common "brown heaths." They use the
grass stemps for beds, but less carefully,
and with no such obvious solicitude to
compose their limbs In harmony with the
lines of the plant. They also sleep with
their heads downward, but the body is al
lowed to droop sideways from the stem
like a leaf. This, with their light color
ing, makes them far more conspicuous
than the blues. Moreover, as grass has
no leaves shaDed In any way like the
sleeping butterfly, the contrast of shape
attracts notice. Can It be that the blues,
whose brilliant coloring by day makes
thorn conspicuous to every enemy, have
learned caution, while the brown heaths,
less exposed to risk, are less oareful of
concealment?
Be It noticed that moths and butterflies
go to sleep In different attitudes. Moths
fold their wines back upon their bodies,
covering the lower wliur. whlofe Is usually
bright In color, with the upper wing. They
fold their antennae back on the line of
their wings. Butterflies raise the wings
above their bodies and lay them back to
back, putting their antennae PtreeJi

EASTERN OYSTER CULTURE
PROFESSOR WASHBURX OX YA
QTJIJVA BAY- EXPERIMENT.
Success Which Has Attended Effort
Makes It Evident That a Paying
Business Can Be Built Up.
The following account of last Sum
mer's experiment of propagating Eastern
oysters at Yaauina Bay is kindly fur
nished The Oregonian by Professor F. I
Washburn, State Biologist:
"Entire attention was devoted to secur
ing a catch of Eastern oyster spat in a
cement tank, made the previous season.
This tank was about 22 feet Ion?, 9 feet
wide at the top, with sides sloping inward,
making tne bottom about 3 feet by 1Q feet.
The original Idea, when the tank was
built, was to fill and empty It by flood and
ebb tide,' flowing through an iron pipe
runnir.s from the bottom o"t the tank to
the adjoining slough. This was found
Impracticable, and the pipe removed. Re
newal of an addition to the water in the
tank was effected by pumping salt water
from the slougTi at low tide, at which
time the bay water Is most favorable for
the crowth of young Eastern oyster em-

bryos. both as regards its temperature
and salinity.
"The above cut shows the pump In the
foreground, from whioh a hose runs over
the flont, bearing the net racks, to the
oyster tank seen in the background, with
its tent-like canvas covering. In forc
ing water -into the tank the outlet end
of the hose was moved about, thus secur
ing a complete stirring up of tho con
tained water, for it is a well-known fact
that the same salt water, proporly manip
ulated, may be u&cd over and over aeain
and still keep alive delicate organlsims
in aquaria, etc.
"Cut No. 2 shows a partial view of the
interior of the tank when nearly full of
water, and the canvas thrown back on
one side to admit the morning sun. This
canvas prevented excessive heating of the
water, for, as shown in the photograph,
the tank could be covered or uncovored
at will, and, being buttoned down at night,
kept in tne heat absorbed during the day.
By this means the water was kept at an
almost constant temperature of CS deg.,
Fahrenheit, for three weeks. We com
pensated for the absorption of water and
the consequent in-creasing salinity by the
addition cf a certain amount of fresh
water from time to time. Unfortunately,
uie men who constructed the tank, or
rather tho men who repaired it, for last
Winter's storms had cracked it badly,
did not make the cement bottom perfectly
tight. There was a very slight seepage
of water from without, fouled by long
contact with the tideland. I wa3 In
formed upon my arrival that, try as they
would, the cement would not harden quick
enough to prevent the outside water, un
der pressure, of course, from oozing, thus
leaving small cracks when the cement
hardened. This inflow, which was, of
course, greater when tne tide was high,
and before the water in the tank had at
tained considerable deoth, had an odor
like bilge wator, and although but slight
in amount, must have had an unfavorable
effect upon the experiment. A mistake
was mado in placing this tank in the
tideland. Another time I should build it
above the surface, out of reach of tides
and contaminating influences, and use
the same pumping apparatus employed
this season to secure a water supply at
low tide. Further, by the use of an out
let pipe guarded by blotting paper, reln-

forced by canvas, the water could be
practically completely changed daily
without losing the minute embryos, and
thus kept In a purer condition than by
simple aeration.
"Into this tank tile 'collectors' were
placed, and Eastern oyster embryos Intro
duced from time to time. At the expira
tion of 15 days from the date of the la3t
consignment, the water was let out
through the pipe, and the collectors ex
amined. I was pleased and encouraged
to find, In ssite of the unfavorable con
ditions outlined heretofore, a few oyster
spnt fastened on the collectors, and feel
that the Summer's work was successful

in demonstrating- that pond culture, under
proper conditions, can be made use of here
to secure a supply of seed oysters-.
"In Yaqulna Bay Itself I found the East
ern oysters planted four years ago to be,
for the most part, in good condition, but
Mr. King, while I was there, tonged a
number of dead oysters, presumably killed
either by the proximity of Barnerf sal
mon cannery, with Its necessary accom
paniments, or, and this is the more likely
solution, by the deposition of silt from a
large landslide which occurred last Fall
Just below the cannery. The second con
signment of oysters, planted by the Gov
ernment in the Fall of 1S99, are In ex
cellent, condition, both those placed on
the Government reserve, with the first
sent, and those planted further up the
bay, and In deep water. All were found
to be spawning, and although no young
Eastern oysters were found, this season
has been so favorable as regard tempera-
ture, both of water and atmosphere, that
It Is quite possible that a substantial re
sult of this year's spawning may be found
later on. In San Francisco Bay, in 1890,
there was an immense catch of Eastorn
oysters spawned there; all conditions ap
pearing to be favorable at that time. It
is to be hoped that similar conditions
will prevail at Yaqulna Bay. It Is be
lieved that if we can secure seed oysters
in culture ponds, from acclimated par
ents, that they will produce hardy young
when nlaced in the waters of Yaqulna
Bay. From the raitfd growth made by
the planted oysters. It is evident that a
little capital and tho use of bay bottoms
suitable for oysters Is air that Is neces
sary to make a pnylpg business here in
raising for the market, as it Is in San
Francisco, in the hands of Morgan & Co.
This is bclr.5 undertaken as an industry
in Washington State. An effort will
shortly be made to secure' Eastern" oyster3
for the Oregon coast. In this we will
be aided by our delegation at Washing
ton, D. C.

Individual Resistance in Disease.
Contemporary Review.
Variations in severity of symptoms de
pend on the varying violence of the at
tack and the varying capacity of resist
ance. Dr. Durham dismisses the former
on account of "our scanty knowledge of
the laws which govern the variations of
the parasite." This well-found-jd admis
sion reveals a gap in the very founda
tions of bacteriology, sufficient to render
the entire edifice of doubtful stability;
but let that pass. More is known about
the effect of resisting power in individ
uals. It may be due to specific immunity
acquired by a previous attack or trans
mitted from a parent, or It may consist
In a natural refractoriness. Several classes
of persons may be distinguished, all capa
ble of harboring specific organisms with
out showing any recognizable signs of It.
One very Important class is formed by
those who have had an attack and re
covered, but in whom the specific micro
organisms remain for an Indefinite time.
WATER.
Dr. Durham mentions diphtheria, enteric
fever and plague. The bacilli of all these
diseases have been found In patients
weeks and months after their apparent
complete recovery. Dr. Klein has record
ed the same thing of scarlet fever. This
is in keeping with a pretty common oc
currence. A child has diphtheria or scar
let fever, and Is sent to the hospital. In
due course It Is sent home quite well, but
at once, or perhaps after a time, other
children in the same house take the dis
ease. Then there Is an outcry about
"premature discharge." The same thing
happens In private houses. One person
suffers from some Infectious illness, and
Chamber -of Commerce
is shut off from the other inmates, who
remain quite well. The patient recovers,
and returns to ordinary life, and pres
ently some one else takes the disease.
A second class .consists of those who,
having never had a previous attack, are
exposed to infection and take It, but In
so slight a form ak to escape notice. The
most familiar examples of this are fur
nished by diphtheria and plague. The
most trifling of sore throat and a slightly
enlarged gland may represent these form
idable diseases, respectively. A third class
or perhaps it- is only a. difference of de
greeIs formed by those In whom the In
fective agenit lodges, but remalhs wholly
inactive. Here again diphtheria, which
has been more carefully studied In this
connection than any other disease, fur
nishes examples. Virulent cultures of
diphtheritic bacilli have been obtained
from healthy children.
