SELF SUFFICIENCY FOR SALEM 1 jectures on astronomical phenomena ( be shows bis ignorance of the basic principles involved. When we real ize how difficult it is to send radio messages to distant localities on the earth, covering at most but a few thousand miles, how can we suppose that such messages can Le transmit ted across the mighty void that ex ists between the earth and the near- t planets?

In either case the collision must have occurred cen turies ago. for if the etheric sound traveled with the velocity of light, long period a of time must elapse be fore they could reach the earth and affect our radio apparatus. We are gravely informed that one "professor." name not mentioned, proposes to ascend to a height of five miles to get nearer the planet he wishes to inrpect. which is only -4.000,000 miles awiy. Probably Ibis wise professor hopes that It he can get that much nearer Mars he can see little children playing in the Martian 1.239.000.000 candle-powr. and It would tak the combined Hgbt of SsU.000 of these, according to Faree. lo produce the :6.000.000.0MI.00 Hash. Such a scheme will not be financed right away. Hut. while men of scienco may ex press the belief that interplanetary messages have not been received, none will go so far as to deny th possibility of such an etent at some period In the future. Too many things regarded Impossible a century a so have since been accompllihed. It Is unsafe to hazard the statement that the genius of man mey be re stricted in any direction. It can. however, be authoritatively stated that things lately conjectured by wild-eyed enthusiasts and Unorant sensation-mongers have not been ac complished as yet and are not likely to be by any agencies, scientific or mechanical, now In use. Ur conditions thaa'tho world has heretofore known. It Is difficult to make industrial - progress under those circumstances.'
